According to Intervolt the DCC pro (Mk1) will charge the main battery when the vehicle is switched off provided there is enough power from the solar, plus charge the leisure battery. Is your DCC Pro set to ignition control or voltage control?

What TP said. They need testing with one at least disconnected. You’ll probably find one drops down in voltage a bit more than the other over time. Best thing is to charge each with a Ctek charger over a couple of days or more. There’s a good chance a Ctek will revive them/it. If not any good...

Best thing is to use the AC at least once a week. R134A is a much smaller molecule than the R12 it replaces but hoses are the least of the problem. The compressor shaft seal is simply a lip seal and the gas leaks out there as the system is not hermetically sealed like ‘home’ units. Exercising...

See post #3 Pierre. Possibly a connector left disconnected.

Re trace your steps Pierre. Try reverting to the old box and see if lights go back out. Warning lights are there for a reason. If you meant in your title to take them out, I’d never recommend that as the problem still exists and sure as eggs is eggs it’ll bite you on the bum one day!

The best thing in my opinion is to ask in local food establishments, take seats etc who they use for their fridges. He’ll be so busy you may have to wait and/or hassle him but you’ll likely get a far better job done as he’s dedicated to refrigeration and knows the systems inside out. Garages...

Hi, Silly stuff first, have you checked fuses and fusible links are all intact? Also have you checked that your alternator is charging at the correct 14.4v +0-3?

Mine has the switch…from factory, allowing locking in high range if desired. With the factory front and rear lockers, the selector rotary switch engages the rear Diff lock first and won’t allow the front to become locked until the rear is confirmed locked by it’s switches. Neither are allowed...

Could be a broken track but the experience I had was with dead speedo and operating odometer. My trip counter has been broken for about 15 years. They get brittle and don’t like spirited use of the reset button. If you do take it apart, you’ll be surprised to find another non displaying counter...

Not sure if this will be much help but the other end of that contains a temperature sensor that gets connected to the climate control unit. The hose actually sucks a little air past the sensor so as to sample cabin air so I can only guess the other end fits into the side of the air ducting...

Can’t go wrong with over sized wiring and correct fusing.

There’s a thread on the pin 7 mod somewhere on here. Frank is right, and it’s something Toyota state iirc, that when in 4 low the centre Diff is locked to send and distribute power evenly to the 4 wheels. However the pin 7 mod is to allow 4 low on solid non slippy surfaces like tarmac, to allow...

That looks nice and neat Ben. Hope you’ve got all cables suitably fused as close to both battery terminals as practical. :thumbup:

Yes. The mod Shayne speaks of is to add the switch and optionally remove a wire on the transfer case to only enable locking with the button. The button means lockable in 4 high and the wire mod means it’s optional in 4 low giving low range option on tarmac. Are you sure it has no locker in the...

Hi Jim, good to have you on board. This site has a wealth of knowledge both in manual form and in the membership. There’s many threads about conversions for over landing. Some of the best were by Chris, who we sadly recently lost. Post up some pics of your truck and tell us a bit more about...

Leaving now. Should be with you by 4:00 pm. Who was in charge of booking the weather? :angry:

Be good to see you and Helen Shayne. Hope today goes well for you. :pray:.

Looks like we will be along. :dance: 1. Andy and Maria. 2. David 3. NIck 4. TonyToyota 5. Beijing Ballie 6. Steve 7. Gav 8. Rich and Lynn in the sprinter

Hi Simon, I know this is an old thread but I have the translation for you (or anyone else for that matter). Basically the left group is as expected, standard gears. Not sure what the 3X is, maybe extra low. The next is high and low gears high at the top (B) and low at the bottom (H) and the...

They aren’t bad to fix. Often have scale issues like Shayne found here. Or debris in the nozzle. I got so peeved with my old Kew one the lance got jumped on and a new one bought for under £30 on eBay with a full set of nozzles to match the washer exactly. Far better. Btw I don’t recommend the...

Sweet! Will have a look.

While this seems like the bargain of the decade, looking on Lidl website shows £70 or so. Couldn’t seem to find it otherwise.

I can have them cut down if you send them to me but it would be at a customer’s engineering works. Prob not expensive. Rich

That looked like a useful site but keeps throwing up errors like 404, or ‘Brand not found’ after clicking on the brand link.

It is a cracker, that’s for sure.

Damn. What to say that hasn’t been said … I too kept looking and hoping not to find this thread, and now finding it I feel like I’ve lost a family member. Maybe that’s it, this forum is one big family and now ‘Great Uncle Landcruiser’ is no more. I’ll miss his wit, his help and advice, his...

Visited Ribblehead a few years ago ‘by accident’. Quite fabulous if you catch it with a steam train going across.

Was that Ribblehead Viaduct, heading up the road towards Dent Station? I’ll say nothing of the retirees. Best 4x4x far you know!!

Great write up there Gary.

Welcome to the forum Ops. As above. Battery is being depleted most likely due to not being charged. With this low a discharge the battery is probably damaged. If it is more than a couple of years old then it’s probably worth getting a new battery or pair of batteries if your 80 has the dual...

Have a look on EBay or the like for a similar one from Nippon Denso or Sanden Denso (exactly the same in every respect). I found one for a John Deere Tractor that had different fixings but was otherwise identical. Think I posted about it on here a while back. The only thing I ended up doing was...

Just came across this video on YouTube. Very expensive if overlooked.

Sorry Raj, I’ve only just seen your post here! These are quite simple but nicely made awnings for the money. They unroll from the zipped cover and then drop two adjustable legs and have two poles that go back to the truck at the sides, at awning level with Velcro straps at the edges to hold the...

Exactly what was buzzing round my head on the way home..…

I saw one drive past…:whistle:

Glad she enjoyed it Andy. I have to say, you look much younger in the flesh than on your avatar! :icon-biggrin:

Great weekend, most enjoyable and good to put more faces to names. Good to see familiar ones again too. Good to see Chris and Claire, hope to see you comfortable again. May quality time be with you Chris. Hope to see you again. Steve, you’ve no idea how close Lucy got to coming home in a...

I don’t 100% know but they are often located in the blower ductwork to keep them cool.

Is Sunday breakfast at the same time as Saturday’s?

Good to see you Higgy. :thumbup:

What time is breakfast? Was it 9:00 last time?

See you then.

Ok Gary, it’s yours. See you over the weekend.

Quick update, I still have these cracking little units for sale (on account of being busy and not pushing them like I should) and will bring a couple with me to the pub meet if anyones interested. Rich

For sale and will be taking to The Stratton Arms meet this weekend. Pretty much as new. The awning was only fitted to my truck for a couple of years so is 99% clean. The sides are all 1.8m high so may need an added skirt if used higher. The rear slide-in side (end really) is wider at 1.9m. I...
