The resurrection of Doc, bringing a 20 year old neismann Bischoff Flair back to life after 12 years off road.

[Lenny HB]

So much for your gurus

Can't do much when there is an idiot checking the fuses.

 

[Northernraider]

The hairline crack must have happened as the tester drove Doc out of the MOT building . Just unlucky.

Yeah looks like that happened in 2021 and 2023 too lol.

 

[G-RMPS]

That's a bit harsh, Lenny. Fortunately Tam's not usually got a short fuse!

 

[Cush]

Go to work, come back home and there are 2 and a half pages of replies. Love this thread. Thank you Northernraider Just smiffy et al. Totally engrossed

Yeah took me 30 mins to get through. Worth a read

Tam, hopefully your stress levels are now down to a mere normal. Stop and think how much you with Gary’s help have achieved since you picked it up. It is looking far better it’s nice and clean and the bits that you have left to do except for the generator or just normal swapping out, I think.

Will you still be going to see uncle Lenny, HB

Don’t get too drunk on cider, especially, you still have work to do tomorrow.

Enjoy yourselves

Right , lights are sorted . Every light now working .

In the end it was a very easy fix , something I'd already checked and thought it was OK

But I'm too embarrassed to tell ya lol . So I'm gonna have a cider and you lot can look at the pretty pictures of old vehicles I took on our dog walk .View attachment 947190View attachment 947191View attachment 947192

And remember boys and girls IF you check a fuse and think it's OK...try another fuse first before spending hours taking lights apart and tracing miles of cable , checking connection blocks etc etc etc .


It's nearly always something bloody simple .


I'm getting drunk

Not like you Tam.

 

[Phill D]

Wrong thread

 

[scotzsue]

It’s all part of the learning process - you have probably got into nooks and crannies that you wouldn’t have seen otherwise

This is why Lenny HB is so quiet , I know his better half was finding the new van a bit cramped but didn’t think a new one would be forthcoming at this speed, see attached

arial drone shot from his new toy

 

[Lenny HB]

Does lenny have a 25A b2b he has removed that you can have/buy?

Affraid not, it's in my mates van, Carthago had over tightened one of the terminals on his one and broke it. Waiting for a replacement will probably take for ever. Then going to use it to run the fridge so I don't lose 15amps from my current B2B.

 

[berni109]

Ask on here if anyone has the previous victron B2B they no longer need.
I got one from a very nice man for a fair amount of beer tokens. I only needed 30 amps max.

 

[Northernraider]

I ordered the victron xs 50amp b2b this morning from ogps , £252 including delivery. And I've ordered my 410watt solar panel from cityplumbing in redruth £56 which we can go collect today when Mr Just smiffy gets out of bed. He's got right lazy since cintia arrived . Then as it's a sunny day I'm going to take front wheels off and check out that vibration I'm getting on NS front . I suspect it needs new discs and pads.

So I'll be living on beans and toast now till moby is sold I think lol ..

Still got cables etc to order but need to measure and see what I need

Been up since 7.30 I’m appreciating the peaceful morning…

Unlike the dogs now that Tam has got a door on his bedroom

 

[Minxy]

I know where the fuse is but it's OK. I've had every fuse out the fuse box checked them and refitted.

Instead of putting them back in the same place have you tried swapping them round, eg the one in the side that works in place of the one in the side that doesn't? We've had fuses that look ok prove to be bad and replacing them solved the issue.

Edit: just caught up with the rest of the thread since the post I quoted and discovered it was the fuse! Shame I didn't post about it 2 days ago as would have saved you a lot of hassle. Just goes to prove sometimes you need a female's brain on the job!

Probably both.

 

[Northernraider]

I think he said he was fisting or something


But I don't know what that Is.

 

[Mikey RV]

He said he has been up since 7.30 so he is properly knackered.

His knackers probably are.

It's never ending with this van .

Took off the fancy shiny wheel trims.

Check oot the rims on this .

Fortunately the scrap yard round the corner has a few ivecos in the yard and £25 a rim . So will get 2 of those and have tyres swapped once I've cleaned up the rims and painted them

 

[Lenny HB]

Supposed to have had new tyres a couple of years ago, I would have though even the dumbest tyre fitter would have refused to fit tyres to those wheels.

Not supposed , it definitely had tyres fitted. One wheel ok but one is terrible. Buying 2 incase I find one of the rear ones the Same.

The tyre is marked 32/20, I would have thought the wheel was like that.
