True, but radios have been standardised for inclusion in many makes of vehicle and so vehicle manufacturers over the last ten years or so have had to change their looms to suit but as for the rest of the loom they have gone as they please. As Squirrell has mentioned the only way really is to...

Agreed Dave, but trouble is that the wiring colours of various appliances vary considerably I.e. Pos could be Red, Red+Black, Brown,Grey,Grey+white or any other combination of colour depending on who produced it. Then you have the neg colours not to mention signal colours of electronic items...

The Sargents modular consumer units are as about plug and play as you can get I feel. The problem is that what ever you have or do you will require at least a modicum of electrical skill coloured wire and specific plug and socket shapes would go along way but you will still have the connecting...

We are at present at the Malvern Weston three counties caravan and motorhome show and as Phil has said the price of secondhand motorhomes is scandalous, my sister in law wants to trade up from her Mercedes Vito but the prices are eye watering for what you get, in theory my van with all the...

There is always a way Sprinter, nothing in a conversion in my opinion is crash proof in any case, only variations of, if you have a sudden stop at anything over 25 miles an hour very little is going to stop movement of heavy items. I would say that it might be possible to fit heavy duty L...

Thanks Dave very informative 👍

As a matter of interest Dave as my sister in law has bought a Mercedes Vito, that has a Domestic fridge fitted run off an inverter that simply kills the liesure battery in hours even when the fridge is set at lowest temperature and has a very efficient 100watt solar panel. What domestic fridge...

Sorry mate, just that sprinter was asking how to fit (his) fridge and it was obvious to those that know that there are blanking plugs over screw holes. But yes others might indeed be fitting domestic fridges. Phil 🙃 P.s. The way you have fitted your domestic fridge of course could be used to...

True Dave but in his photos it clearly shows the blanking caps over the fitting holes. Phil

Usually the fridge would sit in between two cupboards or at least between two upright dividers, then screwed through the two plastic bungs (Once removed) on each side of the fridge, you can see these bungs when the door is fully open on each side top and bottom. Phil This is my set up you can...

Never say that In front of a Welsh man 😁

Just out of interest I googled the average price for auto lpg per ltr. https://motorway.co.uk/sell-my-car/guides/lpg-cars https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/United-Kingdom/lpg_prices/

I'm still only paying 53p a ltr at Cardiff gas in Barry South Wales, even Morrisons in Barry is only 57p a ltr. I'll ask my son how much he's paying in Burgess Hill in Sussex. I can only think that you in the south are definitely being ripped off. Phil

It was only 2019 that trains should have stopped dumping toilet waste directly on to the track, in point of fact there are still many trains dumping on the tracks in 2021. The theory is that at high speed it is vaporised and spread thinly to be oxidised and washed away on the next rain. When...

As for emptying the cassette I put in a fall y section into my soil stack with a screw on blanking cap, all available from your local plumbers outlet. So when I return home I can easily and cleanly empty the cassette outside using the outside garden hose to flush it out. In 30 years I can...

Well nobody has mentioned it so I will. The heat is great! Most folk complain when it rains too much so this is the antidote. For those that don't remember, it may seem hot to you now but in 76 the temperature stayed at between 30c and 36c for a full six weeks, and Ladies and Gentlemen that was...

You can bet your life on it that if the error was vicky verky you would have been put into court if you refused to pay it because of lapse of time. Phil

Good find Squirrell, I've known for years that travelling in the rear seats was not illegal but frowned apon, but could never find the official wording and form. Phil

Just for the interest of those that would like to be informed. The problem turned out to be the earth strap from chassis to the gearbox. The gearbox end was heavily corroded, once removed and cleaned up all started working as it should. The strange thing was that the starter motor which shares...

My neighbour has a Peugeot based motorhome 2004 that has a charging problem, he asked if I could look at it, it started apparently not to charge the cab battery a couple of months back so he would take the cab battery of and recharge it off the vehicle. The ignition light comes on when turning...
