I've had my 2010 Luna Quasar 462 for aprox 18 months and I've only just discovered one of the gas taps on the cooker hob is stuck solid. Now once upon a time many years ago I worked for Southern Gas Board on a conversion team and I must have took apart hundreds of cookers but I admit this one's got me beat. If anyone knows how to remove the front fascia panel to expose the tap rail I'll buy you a drink next time you're in my local

Looks very similar cooker to my Thetford Aspire in my 2016 Lunar van, there are parts lists with exploded diagram available that may assist in working out how to disassemble. Google your cooker model number and 'parts list', likely you'll find a link to PDF file somewhere.

The documents that came with the van covers everything except the cooker so I've no idea of the model or serial number. It just has Luna printed on the cooker face and that's all. The manufacturer is probably reluctant to give out gas cooker info to the layman, but I'll get there with a little perseverance.

It will more than likely be a Thetford Spinflo, we had a 2010 Lunar Clubman and pretty sure that was what was in it.

I take it when you are looking, you are looking for Lunar as opposed to Luna.

As bluexpo97 said, it's very similar to the Thetford (Spinflo) Aspire, as fitted in my van, only slight difference is the valve knobs, but they had several 'fashion' changes over the years, and branding, but for sure it WILL be a rebranded unit from Thetford or the like, not a unique Lunar (sic Luna) product.

Can't get to my van easily to check, as in storage, but sure somewhere behind one of the doors (may have been the storage door at bottom, push middle top of door to pop the catch open), there was a label with model, serial number etc.

I've always been one for taking short cuts especially with the English language, however for identification purposes I can see the importance of the missing "r" . Reminds me of my school days. I MUST DO BETTER was the usual report I'd get in most subjects.

If there is an identification tag anywhere it does not appear to be in an obvious place. Its more than likely to be totally inaccessible on the back of the cooker

I've made some progress but only as far as removing the fascia panel. I really thought I'd cracked it but there is a second metal plate behind the fascia preventing full access to the gas taps. This plate is held in position by self tappers screwed in from the sides of the cooker which means the whole unit needs to come out. Hmmmm!! not today me thinks. Oh yes, I found the identification tag and its a Spinflo Caprice so I'll try googling that.

At least you're getting somewhere now Logan

Plenty of info out there on the Caprice.
