By the by Magnums have delivered another o/s front cassette, so they have come up trumps. But my son is up at the moment for me to help him finish off his van build only three years late 😄 He's decided to sell it as he has now got another daughter of 3 months and bought a new house so hasn't...

Yes I've used curtains and find they are a good alternative, it's just that with curtains nobody can sit in the front seats and face the rear so curtains do tend to shorten the living space. Phil

Hi Sarspen, Have you actually measured the voltage at the battery terminals with a multimeter? That would be a good start for trying to sort your problem. Preferably remove the neg side temporarily so as to make certain of the voltage the battery is providing. Then armed with that a more...

Just to make things clear a converted car to LPG also picks up liquid gas which is then pumped to a converter which mixes gas with air which is then injected into the inlet manifold system, much the same way as a forklift truck engine does. Phil

Well they have arrived and the O/s door cassette is broken from out of the box. Have phoned Magnums and am Awaiting a return call to sort the problem out. A bit of a disappointing start.🤨 Phil P.s. I have been doing some googling and apparently this joint that's brocken is a common...

Yes they have specially made pick ups inside which pick up liquid gas not vapour. The engine on forklifts are designed to run on liquid gas supplied not vapour. Phil

Quite frankly if someone is not happy about using a straight transfer pipe and aware of how to do it safely, then they should not be doing it and purchase a Gasit bottle and associated connectors for garage forecourt style filling. Phil But freedom of information is sometimes.es a good thing or...

Yes, or you can do it In batches till you have the required weight I.e. fill your 6kg bottle off the scales for a small transfer of liquid then reweigh the bottle it might now weigh 9kg a d so you will have transferred 2kg of liquid in a tare weight bottle of 7kg, you can keep refilling like...

Trouble is Gasit and equivalents are expensive. If you know the Tare weight and the full weight of the cylinder you are filling then it's very easy to fill to 80%. I.e. weigh an empty cylinder, say its 7kg And it will be marked as say a 6kg gas bottle. So you whilst on some scales fill The...

Over the years I have tried several cab blinds the usual silvered and cushioned material that either sits outside and is attached by door handles and rear top of front doors and the inside suckered held blinds which I'm using at this present time. I've held off from buying the fold away Remis...

Whilst I would not condone illegal practices I have to agree with Phil that if done correctly, transferring liquid gas from a larger bottle to a smaller bottle is no more or even less dangerous than transferring petrol from a Jerry can to a vehicle or generator, as when transferring liquid gas...

I've just been reading about this insane. move by calor gas to discontinue 3.9 and 4.5kg bottles which in turn has caused a Massive shortage of 6kg propane bottles Due to thousands of people switching to 6kg, self builders have also been blamed due to the vast in rease of self built...

Something like this.

Hi Phil, I'm almost certain that in the past I've used pneumatic fittings on water systems when doing builds as I remember having the same quandary as you are having. When you think about it if something is air tight it is most usually also water tight as air is far less dense than water. 10mm...

If I ever do another one Ken I would certainly just take my time on it, working under duress of finishing it as quickly as possible is very stressful. But the trouble with me is at the other end of the scale, if it took me too long I'd lose interest. 😐. Phil P.s. Though I do love to make a...

In my experience and in the opinion of various battery experts battery ah's are never as manufacturers claim and as Mark says they are only guidelines. For an example a 110ah AGM battery will only produce around 100ah. Most ah ratings are wishful thinking and the best result of multi tests done...

Yes Pudsey, I found out about them a couple of years ago and use them constantly for various connections not only for the motorhome but other situations as well. Good thing about them is you don't need a soldering iron but can use a heat gun when leccy available or small butane torch if use...

Mark I have just found this on the Internet, I have to say when you mentioned this I had no idea, in the past I've just changed the battery by removing the Neg then positive and simply just changed the battery, though doing a proper search does bring up a particular way of going about changing...

To be honest in my view of stop/start it can not in engineering terms be good for the mechanical integrity of a vehicle because without doubt it must put a far greater strain on the starter motor, battery and ringgear. To have gone 70k without problems is lucky I feel Pudsey. The other thing is...

Just checked them out Pudsey and yes good prices and very good reviews. Phil
