    Triumph Bonniville T100

    As some may remember I have a Triumph Bonniville T100 Hinckly verity. My son who's T5 I have just worked on has a friend who has contacts in China and has imported LED headlights specifically for Triumph Bonnivilles of the classic sense. John was given two headlamp units to try out on our...

    Creepy crawlies

    The reason I leave reviews is my youngest son is a wizard at buying off the Internet but he always reads reviews, cosher ones are easily recognised he says and I believe he's right, you can tell if a review is false, so I always give a review but not over the top and always give a negative...

    Yes I got them from Amazon, but when I review such stuff I also leave reviews on Google review 😁 Phil.

    I think there should be a warning of the sparks but all it says is place on 300mm Square heat proof mat. Not that this little plastic container will erupt when you light the wick 😄. Phil

    Creepy crawlies

    Well yesterday I did both vans with the insecticide smoke bombs, opening every cupboard and bunk, put the bombs on large dinner plates light blue touch paper and retire. Only to hear both vans loadly peeping. Hell forgot the smoke alarms 😅 in both vans, dived into one and snatched the smoke...

    VW T5 electrics

    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...

    VW T5 electrics

    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...

    VW T5 electrics

    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...

    VW T5 electrics

    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...

    VW T5 electrics

    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...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    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...

    Simplest Solution for off-grid (starter) trickle charging

    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

    Simplest Solution for off-grid (starter) trickle charging

    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...

    Simplest Solution for off-grid (starter) trickle charging

    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

    Mounting chinese diesel heater on VW T5

    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...
