The cavity wax is Closer to Lanoguard in consistency and will wash off if used in wheelarches like Lanoguard would but never sets hard so is great underfloor and in the cavities. The ub (brown) or (uc) clear is harder wearing and ideal for arches. It's a lot thinner than bitumen underseal, whn I did my T4 years ago it lasted well and didn't crack or peel off the surface like bitumen underseal. 2 thin coats seem to work well.
What have you fixed on your motorhome this week?

Sometimes the drawer catches fail to lock. This results in the drawer and it’s contents hitting the floor when driving around a bend. Made a panel that not only prevents this mishap but looks ok and also kept me occupied.
Not only this, it matches a shelf I made a while ago.

Replaced the led lighting strips on my Maxx fan. Old ones had several failed sections & a new blind/cover was £99
. So I got 5 strips on eBay for £8. Took apart & re fitted in about an hour. Well pleased.

Good luck with the new van

Good luck with the new van
But frustrating trying to keep the old girl on the road.
Then there’s parking it it only a matter of time before I am to old to mess about with it.
A smaller camper be better for us we don’t need a six birth van anymore.
Even the grandkids are too old to go away with nanny and grandad.

So smaller is better less fuel easier to park

Fitted a SOG, these are much improved in design. Also an inline quick change water filter.
Awaiting the Starlink mini for much improved internet and TV.
Regret the SIM card route as brexit appears to have destroyed all the good attained there.

Works like an egg when put in boiling water, blocks small holes, don't last for ever, you would still need to get it fixed.

The vertical metal trim on the side of the MH, a tree branch got to close to me while returning from wales!
Fixed the waste water level gauge by cleaning the probes on the waste water sender unit. I no longer get disco lights on the control panel when checking the water level!

Think you will find it is a 2,2 Tdci for front wheel drive.the 2,4's are rear wheel drive.
I should have said that while you had the engine out you should have cut the top off the catalytic converter ,knocked the guts out then rewelded .It doesn't affect emissions. Also while you have the front out remove the EGR valve & blank that both sides where the joints are also. Another that affects nothing but they rarely last much more than a year as they are plastic junk inside.
