light alarm has stopped working

I got caught out recently when I left my lights on. The normal alarm did not work. Is it a fuse issue?

Re: Yorkshire & Normandy

We have camped (in tents) a lot in Normandy and most towns have municiple sites as well as private ones. Bayeux has a wonderful municiple site, near the railway station where they deliver fresh bread each morning and a favourite of ours is right on the beach at Donville, which faces west and has ...

Magic petrol gauge

I asked for advice a while back regarding my tank showing empty whilst nearly full. You kind people advised to check and fix the earth wire on sensor, which I never got around to doing. Low and behold a miracle has happened and my blessed petrol gauge has started working again - the power of cursing ...

Tyre pressure

Am I being thick (as usual!), but I can't find the recommended tyre pressure for van in my handbook. Just want to know what it should be fully loaded. Anyone?

Re: fuel tank

Ah tools! Which ones? Screw-driver and pliers? what sort of wire? Sorry, I know I'm hopeless - I can paint you a picture of an engine, just don't ask me to strip one down!

Re: fuel tank

Thank you all, especially Westonwarrior for the link. I can see how to get to the plate and access the sender, but then it just looks like a load of mucky tubes and I am lost. What do I do next? Answers please in simple words for a technophobe.....

Re: fuel tank

I'm scared to risk running it till empty. The gauge never goes much beyond half way though and I fill up at anything below quarter full.

Re: fuel tank

I hear it gurgle a bit and the filler cuts out. If I pull it out a bit, thinking that it might still fill, it will spurt back at me. It's expensive stuff to leave on the forecourt!

fuel tank

When I go to fill up the tank will only take about £20 worth before iit begins to overflow. This could be a problem on long journeys. Any suggestions re. cause and cure?

Re: lack of umph!

Thank you. You are a kind lot!
I've had a look and to my untrained eye it seems conected and intact. However, as stated, it could be damaged and does seem a bit short and stretched tight. I will pop into my local bongo friendly garage tommorow and get him to look at it.

Thanks again.
