The issue is finding a quality valve, otherwise it will leak every year, the cheap ones are pure garbageI wasn't lol. It's uncle Lenny HB thats on about electric. I'm happy to reach down and turn it by hand once every 6 months lol. Winter on ,summer off .

Can I go on the reserve list after you, I'm beginning to need someone younger and fitter!Tell you what Tam
that’s looks bloody lovely, it’s a classy looking motorhome mate and I hope it serves you well for many years to come.
Tell Gary i’m looking for a similar one and driving straight down to Cornwall so shuftie over a bit.
Well the one that's on it hasn't been changed every year .The issue is finding a quality valve, otherwise it will leak every year, the cheap ones are pure garbage
Where.Only 32° here today ( still in the van going from tree to tree )
Glad we are not having jobs to do, it's bad enough just keeping cool. Bob.
I thought that 3€ was dear for them here.

Hi there. As previously answered to A.N. Other enquirer, a friend of a friend sourced the glass for me, though you can get your existing double glazed units repaired, or made up as new here in the UK. HTH.Hi Jock, we're you able to get the glass units(s) locally or we're they bought from overseas? Thank you. K
And as far as I know, ours is still the original.Well the one that's on it hasn't been changed every year .
Hang on I'll checkHi there. As previously answered to A.N. Other enquirer, a friend of a friend sourced the glass for me, though you can get your existing double glazed units repaired, or made up as new here in the UK. HTH.

I checked ours out today Tam, having forgotten to turn it off for the summer. It closed and opened again but with a little stiffness, but a wee spray on the base of the shaft with silicone, definitely made it easier.
BTW, did you get my PM re your battery box?
Cheers,
Jock.

I have G13 in mine which is the premium stuff that lasts 5 years.Jees well after 45 minutes it's feckin melting In here . I've had to turn it off as feeling sick. So no leaks as far as I can see and it gets lovely and toasty.
I'm impressed how quiet it is , you can't hear the pump at all unless you lift the hatch where the boiler is. Not as hot in the rear of the van as it gets in the front . Maybe needs bled .
Gets warm everywhere though even in the garage . My tool cupboard gets very warm . Dogs are gonna love that in the colder weather as floor gets warm too.
So I want to carry a spare bottle of alde fluid just in case . Looking on ebay there's two types g12 and g13
Is there any difference and do I need a particular one?
I think mine is blue .I have G13 in mine which is the premium stuff that lasts 5 years.
I imagine G12 is the short life stuff.
Important to see what colour your fluid is.
If it’s blue it’s short life of 2 years.
If pink it’s long life for 5 years.

Unless water has been added the the antifreeze should be ok the main reason they advise to change is the inhibitor that stops implosion in the heater, I used to use a tester when I had a caravan and the inhibitor was ok even after 7yI think mine is blue .
I read on the listing for the g13 that it can be added to either colour.
I don't need any at the minute as it's got the right amount in but best to carry a spare one.
Both the same price on ebay £15 a bottle.Carry the cheapest Tam, just in case, and until you're sure it's staying in the system
Yes I can see the bleed valves everywhere .I would get it changed to pink (lasts five years) Tam unless you know how long it’s been in there. You should find bleed nipples all over the van if you look for them. Alde heating is great.
This has every chance of having been in there a good 12 years or more. But its unlikely to freeze in my ownership as I'm out of the coldest weather usually. I'll have it changed later but for now I don't want to tempt fate tampering with it as I don't know what I'm doing.Unless water has been added the the antifreeze should be ok the main reason they advise to change is the inhibitor that stops implosion in the heater, I used to use a tester when I had a caravan and the inhibitor was ok even after 7y
