    Budget Generators ??

    Yes I always made up our own brake lines when I had the garage, not only was it cheaper for our customers, but a dam sight easier to fit as you could put a union on one end and feed the pipe through various tight areas then fit the opposing union on the other end. Manufacturers pipes were also...

    It could be Phil that now more and more folk are building their own, these insulation companies have realised that there is profit in spraying insulation for self builders and have improved their standards because of the complaints of excessive clean up in the early days was putting folk off and...

    SPRAY FOAM INSULATION

    Without putting a damper on the idea, there are a few drawbacks with spray foam price being not the least one, the other is the clean up after spray it can be horrendous as it gets everywhere and unless you mask absolutely everything that does not require spraying you will be in for a major head...

    Upgrading tyres

    Actually just found this on a motorhome chat, whether it's true or not I can't say as both Ducatos that I've owned have both had 16" wheels. "16" after market wheels would need to have lower profile tyres to keep the same overall circumference. 15" and 16' standard fiat wheels have different...

    Upgrading tyres

    Yes Phil, Sevel Van's especially xlwb versions are designated 16" wheels, I've always thought 15" wheels looked too small on Sevels, seeing as they are all coming out of the same factory I suppose there must be a reason for 15" wheels to be fitted on some models could be financially ordained or...

    Don't leave Sikaflex EBT+ open in the air !! SEAL NOZZLE AIRTIGHT

    Most of these companies produce sealants or sealant adhesives, there is of course a difference in sealant, sealant adhesive and non setting sealant. I personally use sealant adhesive to seal roof lights and side windows although the consensus is to only use non setting mastic type sealants for...

    Don't leave Sikaflex EBT+ open in the air !! SEAL NOZZLE AIRTIGHT

    I've always found that even sealed as best as you can, sikaflex tends to go hard very quickly down through the tube once opened. However I use Evo stick "sticks like Shit, sealant adhesive " and have found it to be as good as Sikaflex in every respect, other than its shelf life once opened is...

    Batteries under the bed

    Batteries only produce excess hydrogen if the charge voltage is too great or the battery internals have a problem, in general it will be quite obvious if they are gassing off to any great extent by a really odd ion smell, but I have to say that batteries under the bed without venting to the...

    Gas isolation valves?

    The whole point of a multi valve manifold is so that if servicing a particular appliance is necessary or an appliance has a problem you can cut off gas supply while other appliances can continue to be used just as an electrical consumer unit allows other appliances to continue to work if a...

    Solar Panel Questions

    If you have a multimeter set it on Amps ( usually the centre lead plug is the common and the plug either side of common is volts/ohms or Amps depending on where you plug into) max amps on most cheap multi meters is 10amps which is plenty for average single solar panel fitted to a vehicle...
