Dave you are about the rudest person I have ever come across on a self build site, I've noticed and others have, that you are rude to other posters as well and seem to be a very angry man. So I suggest that you don't comment on my posts and I won't further comment on your posts by doing that...

Dave the routing of the cable is not the issue here I admit that I did not know of this routing through the dashboard, not that I I said I would have gone that way anyway. The issue is getting to to rubber grommet in the first instance and what you have said about removing the battery and...

I think a bit of explanation is needed here. The scuttle is made up of a large enclosed u tube, one side being made up by the passenger bulk head and the other made up from the engine bulkhead except the top which consists of the scuttling which is where the rain water and water from the screen...

Great Dave, don't know what T5 you are thinking of as without removing the scuttle plate behind the battery on my sons T5 you can not gain access to the grommet it's impossible. You either have to drill through the plate to get the charge cable to the grommet or do as I did and use the moulded...

At last I have time today to post on fitting Mains hookup and charging system to my sons T5. He intends to live in his van for a year while he completes his University coarse. So we ordered all from Amazon ( Believe it or not it was cheaper or the same price as Screwfix). First off was the...

After having fitted 5 Chinese diesel heaters now, I'm so impressed by them that I'm considering fitting one in my Ducato to compliment the Truma 4e so that I can have a choice of heating, gas, electric or diesel. They seem to be very economic on diesel and those who I've fitted them for have...

Never mind Dave you have it correct now so there is no problem for Suncat he probably knew that the liesure battery needed discounting before starting anyway but it's best to be certain isn't it. Phil

Dave you really are delusional. Phil

I couldn't help but see the reply when I open the app, so I will say this. In all my years of having a commercial MoT testing and repair garage on many occasions more than I remember people have asked me to come out to start their vehicle because the battery has gone flat, when I have arrived...

I am now going to ignore this post in total. Phil

As you wish Dave, most people (Dave) would be gracious enough to admit that they had forgotten to give a fairly important bit of advise. 🤷 Phil P.s. At no stage did I think he wanted a jump start, but in the layout suggested the liesure battery would involuntarily become a jump start battery...

You seem to have missed my point Dave, never mind others have realised the omission, maybe you should re read your post. End of as you say. Phil

Last week during the cold spell here in Wales I fitted a Chinese heater under my sons T5. Firstly I have to advise that running the front wheels up onto a set of standard ramps was not enough to lower the fuel tank and remove it from under the vehicle due to the filler neck not quite clearing...

If the liesure battery is connected to the starter battery as stated, unless it is disconnected before attempting to start the engine the liesure battery becomes not a trickle charge but that of a jump start battery, in which case the leads must be capable of carrying the starter motor ampage...

Are you suggesting that the starter battery is piggy backing off the liesure battery Dave? If that's the case the cable between the starter and liesure battery would have to be capable of taking a very high current and the fuses would have to be hefty indeed unless I've mis understood your...

Without doubt its a John guest fitting, and as st3v3 says the collar has to be depressed and the tail pulled out. The button looks to be a plug that closes off another orifice. It seems that the originater of fitting the tap ran out of straight connectors and used a "T" piece and a plug. Phil

It is use and construction which does not include colour or decals Hmmmm and I would defo expect if a different model is used then yes I would think that re application would be required.Phil

Type approved means that the particular type of vehicle has been pre approved I.e. in terms of "Motorcaravan" by the ministry of transport, and so future vehicles being produced can have the attributed term applied to the registration document for future production. Any deviation from the...

I am not saying the DVLA stance is right in the way they are now turning away reclassification requests, but it is not right to say a self-build is identical to a factory build as there is a very different administrative process. Dave you forget that the DVLA response is always that the vehicle...
