  1. Thanks for that, David! In response to Nick. Perhaps I should have rephrased my post slightly. With a baby on board, my attitude to certain risks has changed. So here goes... I'm of the opinion that there must be a better way regarding expansion vessels and if this type of vessel works as is described then I'd be interested in fitting one (or two). I would be glad to hear from anyone who has any experience with this type of vessel or anyone who can anticipate any issues with its use.
  2. Has anyone heard of these? https://www.ryva-watersolutions.be/varem-flovarem-fv3-3-liter-1f-1m.html They are a true flow through type of vessel. Has anyone had any experience of them? I've been thinking of ways to reduce the risks associated with use of dead legs and traditional expansion vessels.
  3. Thanks, blackrose. I'm reassured given your figures that my unit is working as the old output was 14.4v during absorbtion and is now at 14.8v. Yellow was wired to D+ terminal and I spotted the 300mA draw so have now wired it to a disused breaker so I can switch it on and off there. (still the phantom current is being drawn) Other than the battery positive sense wire, where can it be accessing +12v? Do I have a short somewhere?
  4. Hi all, I've installed a Sterling Pro Reg (DW) as per the instructions*. It seems to be working well. It has increased the voltage output to what our batteries actually need. The device seems to be drawing about 300mA every 5 seconds or so for about a second when engine off. Is this normal? *I've attached the negative sense cable to the load side of the shunt rather than directly to the bank negative. (the alternator negative is also attached to the same spot)
  5. Hello everyone, Our Thermo Pro 90 is about 3 years old and has recently started what I can only describe as wheezing and puffing smoke while running at full pelt. It seems to subside a bit when it throttles down. Here's a video I've uploaded to YouTube Webasto Thermo pro 90 wheezing We run it on white diesel only from a dedicated tank and have regularly changed the filter inline from the tank. Has anyone come across this kind of behaviour before? Any advice would be appreciated. James
  6. Thanks for the responses ?. I'll avoid that generator for the time being and consider an upgrade to a Honda eu20i when funds allow. Thanks very much for your help ?
  7. I see, thanks... It was fine up until now though ?. Admittedly it's not a great genny.
  8. Hi there, Can anyone fathom a guess as to what is happening to cause the excessive transformer buzz that has recently started happening when we charge with our generator (a cheaper Honda copy) ? Video in link below... The buzzing gets worse the closer the genny is to the transformer... Is it some kind of interference? We also get a worrying knocking sound from the transformer under higher loads in bulk charge. Any help would be much appreciated. James
  9. Just an update. Since posting my original post the breakers have not tripped. With electrical tape I did Insulate the ends of the loose led indicator cables for the unused breakers.
  10. Sorry for the late reply, Tony. No sharp movements or heavy vibration... Though to test this, I gave the wooden panel upon which the breakers are mounted a moderate beating with a rubber mallet... The breakers were unaffected. My wife thinks I'm going mad. No breakers tripping all of yesterday... Charged the batteries with the generator with no apparent issue. Fridge doing its thing quite happily... Intermittent faults... Infuriating
  11. Ah, yes that would be concerning ?
  12. I have a feeling you might be on to something here...
  13. Yeah, you're right... Not noticed that
  14. Sorry... They take positive from the load side of the breaker and deliver it to the LEDs. My multimeter reads 0 voltage between the terminals at the end of the disconnected cables and negative. I will tape them up anyway.
