She let me down!

Let me down for the first time, in mid Wales with the caravan and she is down on the bump stops.

Sorry for your troubles, please so that they are not made worse put the sealing blank in the gas bottle, the valve is not 100% and a small knock can open it.

Thanks just trying to prevent a problem. A quote from one of my Calor books.LP Gas cylinders are safe when used correctly, in accordance with the manufacturer safety instructions. However, LP Gas is a highly combustible fuel and can explode if handled irresponsibly. Even if a cylinder appears empty, residue gas can be ignited by sparks. Thumbs Up

Dead compressor?

Just outside Tywyn, nice little site on the edge of a village, decent bathroom, free sat they even supply the box, pub within walking distance, food good beer choice so so for a free house. Only drawback is it's tight to pitch up on the hard standing with a big TA without a motor mover, had to use the pitch opposite and even then had to go on the ("don't go the) grass. Nice people too they got us some shopping while out this morning.

Should be alright got the old off, some of pipes a bit of pig, so putting the new one on should be a doddle.

Pita getting the bracket off, sheered the nut into the bracket and still not working properly but managed to get air in the suspension, and then pulled the ecu fuse so at least should be OK to get home. Started snowing though.
