Problem solved, I eventually spoke to Sargent and as usual they were very helpful. In the hope that it may be useful to others in future; I had substituted another mains lead, no change, I substituted the house 3 pin socket no change, After speaking to Sargent they suggested checking the battery...

Just back from really nice weekend away, nothing went wrong and no rain, then got home , unhitched van connected it up using hook up lead to house, turned the charger on and reverse polarity light came on, checked the 3 pin sockets with my plug in tester, lit up to say all OK. Tried the trip...

We had an S Max diesel manual gearbox, terrible car, had non stop problems with it, and ended up dealing with MD of Ford GB, Will never consider another Ford, Examples, car would lose power for no apparant reason then kick in again , wipers would switch on randomly , horn would sound randomly...

So the drill arrived, initial thoughts are good, some random name from China, well packaged and strong plastic case. not too big, only thing I think is strange, the drill does not fit in the case with a battery attached, not the end of the world. It arrived with both batteries fully charged...

By conduit do you mean the grey ridged pipe? If so that will be the drain pipe from the sink the red and blue pipes normally have a push fit connector with a collar that you can push in towards the tap and the pipe will then pull free,have a look on you tube, there are several videos of how to...
