i'll take a look. the big issue is with access to the top pickup to remove it and drill it, i guess you need to drop the tank somewhat as there is no hatch in the tub to access it.

i'll do a search, the heater came with a pickup but i'd need to drill a hole in the tank or in the fuel pickup at the top of the tank to fit the pickup

Hi there, looking to fit a diesel heater and need to a take a feed from the main tank, yes i could t-piece it but is the pipe shown circled in blue on the picture below a take-off, say for an optional heater, or is it a breather. it appears to be blanked off on mine and all the spares...

i lied, they are wowled! not Colight

Good idea, i've got a spare fusebox somewhere, just need some grommets to seal the battery box as mine appear to have gone awol over the years.. impressive looking job there!!

I don't think mine is knackered though i haven't tested it fully, i did get lots of clanks from the rear end when travelling,turns out it was the hinged rear spare wheel carrier, strip down and new washers fixed that and it sounds a 100% better now, like a new car (well nearly!!) but i will test...

got it!! with the wheels off the ground i assume?

evening all. how can you tell when this is knackered? i get lots of bangs from the rear end and some clunks when pulling away, i suspect its the A frame but when i get underneath everything seems tight with no play? should i check with the weight of the axle??
