I have been discussing this on the LDV Facebook group with a chap from Ukraine who converts these vans to left hand drive. He was telling me there is a plastic segment you can remove which allows the bulb to be rotated to a different position. I have done this and will try the lights when it...

Dishwashers can sometimes be very difficult to work on due to their construction but if you can get to the electric water valve you could check the resistance of the solenoid coil/s using a multimeter. If they are a few thousand ohms they are OK, infinity ohms tells you a coil is burnt out.

I would start by looking to see if there is an obvious visible fault such as burnt wires that have shorted together.

You say it is not fully draining? Do you mean there is a small amount of water left in the drum when you unload the machine? It could be a simple partial blockage of your waste plumbing. You could pull the machine out and see if it will drain OK into a bucket. If it does not drain properly into...

The design of catch mechanism varies but a common type has a loop of bent steel bar mounted on the door frame with a central screw you can loosen and adjust the bar inwards or outwards. If this is the sort you have you need to adjust it outwards just enough to make the door click shut like it...

I use PTFE tape as rarely as possible, as nearly every time I do use it, the joint leaks! Here in Hungary there are no compression fittings but lots of fittings using pipe threads. I have started using liquid PTFE but it never sets so you gradually get a small puddle of the stuff under the...

Just wondered what people think of wetwall as an alternative to tiling in bathrooms? I have done a couple of bathrooms for other people but not lived with the stuff long term myself. I mentioned this on another forum and someone said it quickly gets stained.

Probably just needs a minor adjustment to the door catch but I would complain to the kitchen fitters and get them back.

In UK, this is what people think of when you talk about a Minivan, and no, it won't! http://www.simoncars.co.uk/mini/minicv.html

No, you don't need to disturb any of the existing appliance connections. You just find a convenient piece of existing waste pipe under the sink or behind the dishwasher, use the tool supplied to cut a hole in that pipe then the fitting clamps onto the pipe. It should come with instructions...

This should really be in the plumbing section but you could use this kit: http://www.screwfix.com/p/washing-machine-drain-out-kit/75883

Shaver adapters normally will take the round pins of a UK shaver flex or the US flat type. I would guess the adapter was plugged into a 13 amp socket in UK.

Thanks for the tip, it looks like I have found some: http://www.ldv.cz/lighting-mirrors

They were exported but only in very small numbers. There was also a version of the van made in Turkey but various people I have contacted there have not been helpful. :( They used to allow the beam deflectors but I'm told they tightened up on the regulations and they no longer pass them like...

I have been trying to find out how headlights control the dipping but without much success so far. I have been trying for over 2 years to get left hand drive headlights for my LDV Convoy van but there are none available. I want to get the UK van registered on Hungarian plates but they insist I...

It could be a part that was dropped during assembly and not retrieved. I have found various nuts, washers, springs etc. in the bottom of washing machines that got there that way. If you look inside on the left hand side of the wash tub there is a grating similar to a sink overflow. Could the...

More importantly, what would insurance companies think of such a practice? In a kitchen with all integrated appliances it is easy to assess the maximum loading on the kitchen ring. If there is already a washing machine, a tumble dryer and a dishwasher on the ring I would be tempted to put in a...

If any of the wiring is aluminium you should replace it with copper. Aluminium is less flexible and you can get a crack in the wire anywhere that it has been bent backwards and forwards a few times.

You can practice with the old door. Lock the flaps down and push the hinges in the same as they are on the new door. Now try to fit the old door back on as I described. If you can fit the old one but not the new then perhaps you have the wrong door.
