  Hi can somebody help

I have owned this Bailey pegasus 534 for abot 9 months ans have had many problems with the cassette toilet

Last year we had problems with the fuse which kept blowing sorted that ok

this week went to the van connected everything up and could hear the toilet pump running nonestop emptying the tank and then still running the only way i can stop it is to remove the fuse in the cassette bay has anybody got any ideas

The van is still under warrenty but is kept 100miles away therefore trying to fix before towing back

Thanks for any help

My immediate thought would be the top membrane button has failed causing the pump to run.
The Thetford support website is very good and offers on-line repair guides etc.
Check Thetfords C250 page, where there's a "sanitation repair" guide. This might take a short while to load, but should help.
I'd consider ringing Thetford too and explaining the issues. I've found them very supportive in the past.

Thanks for your prompt reply

By the top membrane button i am assuming that is the switch under the blue push button

Yep, that's right. Birdmans link takes you to a useful illustration on it's removal etc. Because of the way in which it needs removal, it's a difficult item to test (you can't re-assemble), but I suspect this is the most likely cause.
As suggested, give Thetford a call and see if they will send you a replacement.
