First off, the folk we bought it from have so far been absolute diamonds.. They have bent over backwards for us..
Due entirely to my fault we had to collect the van a day early.
It was not ready and still had a couple of issues .. Both real buggers....
They had three people on it for about 4 hours but sadly could not sort it out before we just had to leave.. I was supposed to be going to a show in Germany today but have had to send someone in my place so I can get the van sorted out..
They have already said any costs incurred they would cover.. even if I have to get a local dealer to sort the issues out.. So me being me I will sort out the probs myself so it will not cost them lolly.. If they had not offered I would have proly said sod it let someone else do the faults
So what is wrong ?
No electrickery to the boiler.. Works on gas but there is no tell tail light on the wall switch so it cannot be much.. Had the Sargent unit apart today and that all checks out ok,, Further tests and I realised the fridge is working ok and that is on the same breaker/circuit so what ever the issue it it cannot be much !
Other issue is really weird
The control panel says there is no hookup when there is.. Everything works as it should, from the mains lights, to the charger to .. well everything really ( apart from the heater as previously mentioned )
And I have GOT to suss out how to stop the hab 12v system from turning off when I start the engine.. Cannot be doing with that rubbish !!
Oh and another weird one.. No hot water from the shower head.. But I reckon that is just the mixer tap playing silly buggers.. Darrell ( Nemo ) can sort that out for me !
Other than that.. its all good.. Put the solar panels on today ( though I think I am going to revisit that tomorrow as again, I do not like the standard method of charge the Sargent panel uses and will be doing some work on that.. Splitting the batteries to two separate sections of the charger is asking for issues to my mind..
So whats on the menu for tomorrow ?
Install the sat system and the telly, and maybe the Waterpure too :thumb:
If I get time I will also fit the Alugas but as I have to do some real ( as in earn some dosh ) work I may not get that done.. Still, be nice to have something to do on Wednesday
