    Wind Turbine ?

    Generally low output only reaching higher amounts when peak gusts.... Pfaff to erect/stow Frequently transmit noise to what they're mounted on AND often far from silent wnen in use. No wonder they're usually used on boats

    Advice - Erbespatcher Heater D2

    D5s by looks..... Wet system which probably explains the heater box above the cab... You may well find you have aircon up there too with a evaporator in the fan box..... You'll likely find a couple of garden hose looking pipes running to the aircon pump on the engine... Don't cut them if you...

    Connecting heater to diesel tank?

    Personally speaking.... Pfaff of filling a separate tank And the smell.... Every installation I've come accross with a separate tank always seems to end up smelling of diesel/kero (if they're fitted inside obvs) Our d2 uses so little I'm happy to fill the heater up at the same time I fill the...

    What rust inhibitor do you chaps use?

    IF its anything like JLR s 'phosphate' dip.... It gets in to pretty much everywhere as the whole shell is fully immersed in a tank whilst being electrically charged to attract the phosphate dip. As above Waxoyl is very very dated compared to, dinitrol/buzz weld products and Bilt Hamber...

    Solar Question

    I don't doubt it's doable by many (it's not rocket science after all)..... However unless you're Fgas qualified and registered... Legal wise you shouldn't be working on CFC/HCFC systems. But don't let safety and environmental concerns get in the way eyyy? I can buy a 12v Danfoss compressor...

    Solar Question

    Trouble is unless your a qualified fridge engineer, then by the time you have bought the 12v compressor and paid someone to reclaim and recharge the system..... You probably not far off the cost of a bought 12v fridge
