Hi All. I have, ice ice baby. Had a talk with the excellent engineer at https://inter-leisure.co.uk/ near Chester, unfortunately I didn’t get his name but many thank yous to him. He recommended taking off both the top and bottom external vent covers on the side of the van, saying this increases...

Hi Ian As the fridge works when using gas, that would eliminate the - not being level fault. I am erring towards getting a 2nd hand PCB and a new heating element fitted. Dave

Hi JTQ Yes, you are right. Although there is discernible raise in temperature from the vent the 240v heating element may not be reaching the required temperature. Dave

Hi JTQ Yes, I think it is down to the 240v heating element or the PCB. I’m going more towards the PCB as when the 240v is selected the vented air from the exhaust is warm. I will have to hand it over to the professionals but it’s good to have an understanding of the most probable cause. Dave

Hi Ian Disconnecting the gas and pulling out the will be required, I will have to admit defeat and take it to the professionals. I don’t think it will be the sealed matrix, as it works when it is heated with gas. Dave

Hi Martin Thanks for the reply. From further research it looks likely to be the 240v heating element, (I take it, that the same as the heating matrix) or the PCB. I’ll do some research on replacing both. Thinking about it, if the vented air is warm for both gas and 240v running, then it most...

Hi All My wife has just bought a 2014 Ford Focus 1.6 estate. All good but we are both used to reversing with a reversing camera, very useful for aligning the tow bar with the hitch. Are there any suggestions for the best dash cam that can also be used as a reversing camera. Many thanks. Dave
