Heading for Germany to change our 10 year old Alugas bottles, then follow the sun if it comes back out.

Nice start peeing down at Newhaven and blowing a gale.

Great start to the trip, Air suspension packed up.
When setting ride height (I always keep it on the drive in the lowered position) took ages to get to ride height and didn't quite get there, had a look and looked OK for driving so we set off.

After a mile or so it locked it's self in service mode anyway we carried on thinking we can call in on the guy who installed it in Belgium.
It was a bouncy choppy ride to Newhaven.

As we approached the port I thought when it was trying to level I didn't remember hearing the compressor running. Me thinks this could be expensive or it could be just a fuse.

In the queue at the port I popped the bonnet took the cover off the waterproof fuse holder for the fuse that feeds the compressor.

Fuse and fuse holder were melted, took a fair bit of effort to extract the fuse. Not impressed 40 amp standard blade fuse.

Anyway I know the compressor takes 30 amps and largest fuse I had was 30 amps manage to force a fuse into the burnt & chard holder.

Volla Air suspension working. :dance2:

Will pick up some 40 amp fuses tomorrow and fit a new fuse hold when we get home.

It’s simple isn’t it Lenny when you know the possible cause and where to look and yet Sooo many have no idea, it’s mainly the Old guys with a lifetime’s experience that are never faised.

Have a great trip.
