Could CMC price hikes have owt to do with it?

For the record on 13 pin connection charging is pin 9, fridge is pin 10, fridge earth (-ve) is pin 11 and charging earth (ve) is pin 13.

The OP is using 12N/12S connections. He states that there is 13.8V arriving on the 12S but someone asked where that voltage is being measured to which there has been no reply. For a start the 12S socket carries 12V for charging etc on pin 4 with a the common (-ve) on pin 3 as this earth is also...

One assumes that you want to watch the basic channels? Sky is radiated on more than one satellite especially the Sky specific channels. BBC does have a significantly tighter beam.

The problem here is two-fold. I am unsure why a smart TV will be needed assuming you will be using some sort of broadband feed. What you will certainly need if you use cable feed is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) so that your source "thinks" you are in the UK. For example if you try to watch...

We were in the same situation once whilst staying near Holt in Norfolk. I went along to the local wood yard and found they had a damaged oak post (rotten on on side.)The guy cut me four pieces about sfiveinches thick and maybe 10 inches square (the post size.) He charged me £2 apiece - and here...

Also don't overlook the Kodiaq which is the same chassis as the Superb - indeed as all of the others mentioned are. We've had three Passat estates and we only changed this time to a Karoq as we are aging a bit you step in and out of a Karoq rather than climb in and out of a Passat! Make sure to...

I should have said to get a 1.5m or 2m length of pipe and push the grey flexible pipe down the inside. Check the ID of the white pipe, not sure if it is 32, 34, or 38mm, and check the OD of the grey pipe to make sure it fits. Get a push-fit 90deg angle fitting for the end of the pipe. Worst case...

Get a length of 34mm ID white water pipe from Toolstation and get a puch on right angle adapter for the end.

We had a 462, a friend down the road has one now. First check the battery in the PIR on the offside front internal pillar. Second, to change the battery in the fob, remove the split ring and door key, and prise the fob open with a penknife. Replace the fob battery (CR2025 from memory.) If none...

I am puzzled. You can only remove the key on a Westfalia when it is in the unlocked position. Finger trouble?

I would suggest item 95426 from Screwfix. It comprises the mains plug tester, a non-contact mains detector, and a small DVM. You will find CEE17 (blue/white 3-pin) connectors in use but there is nothing to say they will be correctly wired. As Schuko wiring is all double pole switched a French...

Sorry but no, it does NOT have Freesat. It does have satellite but not Freesat which is a UK brand name and this TV is a Europe-wide model. You will have to trawl through whatever is presented when you find a signal and make note of the station numbers pertaining to the UK stations that you want...

Also which model is it? A 32" smart should be 32LQ63006LA if it is full HD, or 32LQ630B6LA if it is only "HD Ready." Both versions have satellite but NOT Freesat.

Beware that Avon specifically state that their tyres should NOT be used on caravans.
