The non return valve is in the pigtail

If the non return valve in a pigtail fails you will certainly know about it as you will have an open gas pipe pumping out gas at 30Mb. When dealing with any gas connections you almost always get a residual smell of gas from the joint. As far as I am aware there is no blanking cap for any of the...

NO, you must never use a torque wrench to loosen bolts. They are made to tighten them only. If you want an easier way of undoing bolts, use a Breaker Bar.

The internal fittings you mention form the structural integrety of the van, and whilst you can remove them you must replace with sometning to restore that integrety. This kind of job really should be left to someone who knows what can and cannot be done.

As you may know I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Over a week ago I had a blood testwhich showed all most of the various levels were either too high or too low. In particular the Haemaglobin levels were almost non existant and the Elecrtrolyte levels were also very low. The result of...

Regardless of whether you think the Dealer is useless, it is his responsibility to fix any problems whilst the van is under warranty. If you attempt a DIY repair you invalidate the warranty on whichever part of the van you work on.

With a battery reading 17 volts there is something seriously wrong, either with the battery or charger. You dont say what caravan you have or what electrical distribution system is fitted, both of which would be very helpful. However, in the meantime do NOT leave the battery connected to the...

As has been said, you must always release the spring tension on the torque wrench after use.

The topic is about foodstufs and those being banned from entering France. It is NOT about those who cross the channel illegally, or drug runners. Keep to the topic not divert elsewhere or those posts will be removed.

Unfortunately due to the very high quality of workmanship and quality fittings employed in the factories, the heatshield is stapled in place as far as I remember and is a complete PITA to remove and even more so refitting, which is why it is usually easier to slide the fridge out of its housing...

If you cannot gwt to the sink via the fridge vent, then removal of the fridge does require the gas to be disconnected. Whilst your neighbour may be Gas Safe registered, unless he is also LPG certified he cannot work on your fridge.

Looking at the photo the window should unclip from the hinge rail, however it is preferable to have two people to remove it. Once the window stays have been removed the window needs lifting well above 90 degrees and with two people each can see when the window unclips rom the rail and drops...

The first thing to check is the leisure battery. If it is not holding charge then the mover will not work. Did the van come with a battery or have you bought a new one? A quick check is to use a multimeter on the battery terminals with no power connected to the van. Note the reading, it should...

There is no need to worry about a Bailey roof strap being used, it is the type of sealant and the way it is applied that is the main consideration. After all, a strip of aluminium is the same whether it is used on any van , its the way it is applied that counts.
