Can we speak? I bought a Fiat Ducato La Finca MH. Your profile suggests you might have a similar van. I'm trying to find a copy of a handbook for a power control panel (mine doesn't have one) and more than happy to pay for a photocopy... can you help?

Big Brian 56 - hi!
I emailed Wandahome, no response, but will call them tomorrow to chase up. The Spanish manufacturers don't respond to emails so I'm looking for a Spanish speker to phone them. Good to know that a real person (you) is kind enough to respond - thanks ;)

I did wonder whether there ever was a handbook for the electrical panel - I guess yours is the same as mine - would you let me know? Photo below...

Perhaps if I'm passing Leeds I could call in for a tutorial? or maybe it's simple and I'm worrying about nothing?

Hi Brian

Thanks for getting back to me. My van will be in Manchester for a couple of weeks, then Orkney - are you en route? I'm guessing my dad can work things out but it would be good to learn from you - I haven't done anything with the van yet. It occurs to me that if you didn't get a handbook either, perhaps there isn't one...

I've created a new email address at la_finca2006 at yahoo.com so we can communicate ;) Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
Joanna

Quote: Model do you have ? PPs Did you get it from Wandahome ?

It's a Fiat Ducato Ace La Finca - don't know what other model info you might need. Bought from a general care dealer who didn't really know anything about it. Wandahome don't seem to know either, and although they are one of the two dealers ACE Caravans in Spain reckon are their UK agents, can't help. A nice man from nirvanarv.com (the other UK dealers) has told me what he thinks the control panel elements mean, but I'd be happier with a handbook I can digest at leisure.
