kaput in Deutschland

There is also a small vacuum unit on the throttle fuel pump unit & i think thats the one he is talking about,it advances/retards the fuel timing climbing and decending hills of on load etc.
 
If something like that can indeed destroy an engine it does put all the cam belt paranoia in its place.

Will find out full story when I go collect.

And yes, has been indoors since late October.
 
After she is bedded in start to increase the speed up/down with cooling stops for a few thousand miles which makes for a good engine ,and do change oil every 5000mls or about twice a year if not using it much,good luck.

The beast is now outside my house.

Did not like sitting for 7 months as there is no leisure battery power, nor hab power with engine running.

Will hook it up to mains overnight and see what happens.

Now, there is a small matter of some 7 month old "doings" to sort out:dnd:

Put it on your tomato plants. You should have a bumper crop this year. :lol-061:
 
Be carefull that there is no pressure build up with decomposing poo. It could all end in tears.
 
Mice

Dealing with poop of a smaller nature.

All my toilet roll supply has been used to make a cosy and rather smelly mouse nest under my bathroom sink.

Note to all van owners. An indoor heated garage may not be the best place to store over the winter after all.

Wonder why one of my leccy circuits seems to not work?
 
If it's rats they will have bitten straight wiring even seen 10mm starter cable eaten through
 
Garage was out in the middle of nowhere.

Re the lack of power to fridge. There is a relay that trips when aux battery power drops below 10.5v.
Hopefully an overnight charge will get things right, or it is three new leisure batteries.

What's the voltage of the hab/leisure batts? If the batteries have been left without charge for 7 months then I would bet that they are knackered.

Got to at least see what happens overnight, but tending to agree.

There goes another £300

It would also make things worse if there was a residual load on them - clock, alarm or similar added to the self discharge rate all adds up, then add in the age of them. :(
 
Absolutely no idea of the age of them.
Solar and big fridge upgrade was done ten years ago so probably that.
I have only had it for a year.
 
Some good news today.
Fitted the media system I have been collecting while the van was away.

Now have proper HiFi and movie player. Two overhead lockers sacrificed for proper loudspeakers and one for the amp and DAC and media player.

Sounds sublime.
 
Getting there

Fridge and solar working again.

New rooflight ordered.
Shower door lock ordered.
Poopy chamber cleared. Did not smell in the slightest.
Mice appear to have already left the building.
