Yes but you have got the A50, roundabouts near Stoke. Not much chance!QuoteWhats the biggest distance you have travelled in the UK with your cruise control on. Today I went 40.7 mls before I touched the brakes. Anyone beat it? Its not easy, I tell you.
lol
Often go to North Wales so on the next run over I will try and beat that.....or crash trying........!!
QuoteQuoteAndy could you pm me with detailsQuoteJust got the van out of storage and I have aquired two faults that I could do without.
1. The central heating will not fire up, changed the battery in the piezo and it still won't ignite.
Anyone know how to repair the gas valve because thats all thats left to check?
2.
The electric flush on the loo does not work, it just clicks. Obviously it was not drained properly before the winter. ( my fault).
I need to get at the motor but I do not want to strip the loo out of the van. Is there an easy way to get at the motor.
The heater is a Carver 3000 and the loo is a Thetford.
Any ideas?
I know a mobile caravan repairer from Wiga who I'm sure would travel as far as you. pm if you'd like his mobile number.

QuoteJust got the van out of storage and I have aquired two faults that I could do without.which toilet is it(swivel bowl c200 or the bench type with the toilet roll holder)if swivel the blue button and the cover all come off as one piece held on with like bluetack type stuff and you prise it upwards,underneath 4 screws and a white plastic part comes out giving you access to the flush tank and pump..if its bench type pull the toilet roll holder out and look down you can see top of pump,1 screw and its in yer hands..in both cases by pushing button with lights on you should get a dim of the lights which would tell you your getting power to the pump if not check fuse..with a small driver spin the impeller you can sometimes free them up..failing these there is microswitches depressed when you slide cassette in and ive known these fail

your fire has been laid up which can be crud on yer burner bar which a blowgun can often clear or all it takes is a spider to climb inside the assembly after the jets and that can stop them working so give it a blow out from underneath and if that fails it needs taking out and proper cleaning but check your spark the sheath on the ignition lead can go and the spark arcs across before getting to where it should be going and the good ole dimwit answer but i have had it happen to customers is check the gas tap to fire is open
where is that then?, I will look tomorrow
Mine's having it's annual service tomorrow - oooerrr!
Are you sure that you've not got an empty gas bottle? Personally, I'd get an approved repairer to take a look here - don't ever mess with gas mate.
Regarding the toilet flush, can you not try manually flushing it? See if this kicks it back into life?
Sorry that I can't help further mate.

No, it is literally a cantililever in a clever position and it works well, on fact its bloody good! For front wheel driveQuote....
Cornered on a rail, it has a cantilever system on the axle that forces the lifting wheel down on the road when taking a corner. ......
An anti-roll bar .....
Me and the old boy are off to Milbrook this coming Saturday 5th for a day out testing the NEW Astra......Worked at JIT supplier for VX fot a few weeks. The Astra is the full DB. I drove 1600 deisel, it was a bullet. Cornered on a rail, it has a cantilever system on the axle that forces the lifting wheel down on the road when taking a corner. The inside is the full DB too. Brilliant car!! Wouldn't have one tho' to small, its a mini Insignia! Lovely car. VX will do well with this one. Rarther have my Omega tho'.
Cant believe they have replaced the current one so soon, and its not just a facelift I think it looks totally different inside and out....
Should be fun, last one we did was testing Jaguars around Silverstone !!!!
QuoteQuoteQuote1994 - 1998.5 = Pre mini facelift
1998.5 - 2000 = Mini Facelift (spec upgrades, audio, lights, interior)
2000 - 2003 = Full Facelift (major body changes, front grill integrated into bonnet, heavy interior changes, new engines)
Mine is a 2001 2.5 when did they change to 2.6?
2001! About march ish i think. If you have a Y plated 2.5 thats prob one of the very last ones.
Mines a 2000 on a X and i have the newer 2.2 rather than 2.0. For a time Omega's where being sold with both new and older engines.
