Hello, i was after some advice on Lesiure batteries. I last bought a leisure battery a couple of years ago and when i was driving with both the 'car' battery and the leisure one connected. The leisure battery sometime into the journey began to bellow out smoke - i pulled over and disconnected it. It...

Great thanks Bob, i have send you a email 

Hello,  I wonder if anyone of you Autohomes guys know where i could get the original roof rack for an Autohomes Kamper. Unfortunately previous owner removed mine. Just wondered if there was anywhere that sells the original ones. Will be replacing the gas struts this year too, either they aren't work...

i can send you a link to a thread i did on this, will pm you that and a password, should make life a bit easier mm Hi there, I see you posted this and I wondered if you could do the same for me? I've welded the Front panel and replaced the swimming pool (as Covkid calls it) the next MOT item is the...

Many thanks for your reply Martin. I have been given a rigid solar panel (120w) by my father. If i were to buy one i would probably go for a flexible, although on researching this, they're not as efficient-but i expect that's a small difference. It does need the clearance that the fixing kit gives, ...

I'm just about to install a solar panel on the roof, has anyone used these fixing brackets? If so, do they work ok with the glue that is being recommended? These are the brackets i have in mind [ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Solar-Panel-Mounting-bracket-kit-cable-Entry-Gland-perfect-for-motorhome-boat-...

As i have drained the coolant partially, if i top it up with water and drive it there then ask them to flush it out when they have made the repair, will that do any damage-or would itbe ok for a short time? Any ideas? If you mean top it up and bleed it etc with water rather than the 50% red anti-fr...

That has disaster written all over it

Thanks 1664

Good going Yetti. Looks like mine will need the same, doesn't look like a split hose on mine either :( I'm thinking of taking mine to a garage in Pompey to get it looked at, as i haven't really the time to do it. As i have drained the coolant partially, if i top it up with water and drive it there t...

The very best of luck yetti8.

I have a similar problem, i think. Not sure if it's split hose or a leak from the block.
Going to look today

Cheers ghost

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. As usual this forum has been invaluable in it's advice and information. :ok For an update. I cleaned out the carb removed the gauze filter on the inlet of the carb. Put all the old parts back on, it still wouldn't start! I changed all the fuel hoses, check...

If you've got a good spark at the plugs and correct gap it can only be fuel issue. Pump working well and fuel hose between pump and carb is not blocked, then next thing is the fuel filter at the carb itself (the brass gauze thing) which is often overlooked. If that's ok then possible blocked jets i...

I'll check that too Marlinowner, thanks

Hi, I have searched through wiki and other posts and i can't find anything around this Two weeks ago i changed the oil and filter on my 1983 DG petrol engine. Last week i then replaced dizzy cap, plugs and HT leads. I did have a replacement rotor arm but the guy at JK gave me a normal type rotor but...
