    Motor Mover

    Hi John,I had this problem. The cause was the gap between roller and wheel was too large. It needs to be 22mm. Adjusted it and all was fine. You can do this using a standard piece of wood - the old 2"x1" planed timber is 22mm thick. There is a clamp screw holding the mover on the bottom member...

    Van bottoming on steep drive

    LCD television, beware

    Dave Useful info. I have a Digix flat screen LCD, as had been recommended on this forum a few weeks back. Had the same intention as you but did not progress as far. However, knowing that the 12v supply in the van can fluctuate I used a meter to find what was supplied via the tv's transformer...

    Caravan Showers

    Chris, go for a 921 pump about 13litres /min. Get a good showerhead we have found the one Bailey fits in its Senator Vermont to be the best. It has blue water outlets on it that you can rub to remove the chalky deposits others have small pinholes that you can't get a pin in! Use the gas and...
