Thanks guys, The 12N and 12S plugs on the caravan side are around a year old. The originals were quite knackered. I will however strip them down and see what I can find. Towing my brother-in-law's trailer using the same 13-pin adapter seemed to work just fine for the duration so I guess that...

Thanks guys. I'm trying to wrap my head around the circumstances that would allow the left indicator to work as a hazard light, but not as an indicator...

Hi all, I've got a 2008 Citroen C-Crosser (Mitsu Outlander) with a loom-specific 13-pin wiring kit. My 'van is a 1999 Abbey Spectrum 520 so I have a 13 to 2x7 pin adapter for the harness. Seems to be the case that the indicators will work fine until somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes into a...

Thanks for all the responses - we're off for a 9-day break in it from Friday now that it's not in an expensive battle with my clutch!!

Yes indeed. If I live to see retirement I may have more time for these things :(

Apologies for the earlier post, I was at work and didn't have time to read every line of the document. In replacing the spring unit it seems that its purpose is to transfer force from the handbrake lever to the brake rod by pushing the spring against the 2 locking nuts forward of it, thereby...

Thanks for that. It explains how to correctly adjust it, but not really what it does. Looking at the diagram and the unit on the caravan itself, it seems to be putting forward force on the brake rod as the handbrake is applied, which would make sense. Just not sure why a spring is necessary -...

Can I ask about the 'stored energy spring' upfront? I have a replacement enroute, but after having a quick look at it, I really dont understand its function or how it works...

I did have a feeling that'd be the case, thanks for confirming that. I have a tendency to brute-force everything so I didn't want to hook it up and drag it until the tyre exploded.. Appreciate the responses!

Should mention, it's Alko if that helps?

Thanks for the responses guys. It's the one-shot nut type. I can't recall if I rested my hand on one tyre while working with the other and it seemed to rotate back slightly then wouldn't move forward again.. Can't recall the exact circumstances unfortunately. As a side-note, the stored energy...

So, hypothetically. If someone had their '99 Abbey Spectrum 520 jacked up to check the brake system, and 'accidentally' rotated a wheel backwards just slightly, then can no longer get it to rotate forwards.. (You know how all the manuals say NEVER rotate it backwards but none say what to do if...
