Hi i have a Vanmaster 1998 vintage ,i am looking at getting alloy wheels to replace the steel rims ,being its an Alko chassis would wheel centres and hole spaceings be the same for most chassis or what would be the best way to source some for my van. Thanks Bill

Sorry only just picked your message up Ray.Yes think its a good idea to get the oil and filter changed in the auto box,have read on problems with some when towing mine has been fine up till now.I am thinking of a major service before putting van on this year so will get a price to include that...

Could be something as simple as a blown or ill fitting fuse,but if fault lies with new van dealer should be the one to investigate.

When you do sterillize your pipes dont replace or renew the filter untill all traces of sterillizer are gone from the system.There will be some who will say it doesnt matter,but it will render your fillter not as efective if sterillizer is put through it .

Well there you go thats me told,i assumed as mobile phones were ,and more being involved with talking on a cb it would be.Must say had some funny looks from the police when caught out but never bin stopped,usually hide the mike if i see them but certainly wont in future,thanks for that bit of...

A group of us still use cb radio,when 2 or 3 of us travell together it is ideal for instant communication if one gets a problem,we all travell on channel 5 and with a range of 4 to 8 miles much better than a mobile phone.I have used cb since the early days of am and still work the ssb when...

Thats good news ,most flat screen are 12volt though need constant 12volt to work properly hence the stabilizer in the 12volt lead ,simulare to what is in the mains lead ,without it the picture can fluctuate or damage the tv if goes much above 12volt,there lead is straight through so they must...

We are looking for a tv for the caravan but must be ok on 12 volt as do alot of CLS.Kogan tvs look good and right price,only problem i can see is the 12volt leed with it is not a stabilised one .Have you had any problems with the 12volt side as most tvs need a steady 12 volt supply unless a...

Will do that Kev will let you know how i get on ,you are right will attack it with a bit more gusto today ,main thing is to check the frame and if it is ok at least once open will be able to dry properly .Should any wood that is wet but sound dry to original strength,would i be better once dry...
