Cheers Gary,

Now there is a component burnt out as for a day there we could smell a bakalite kind of smell for a short while when the heater would first fire up.

Now there is no heat at all!

I will need to take out the circuit board behing the heater in the grey box to see what has burnt out.

Is there any pointers to which is the best replacement components of a better quality as I dont want to do it again!

I have had the van from new and its now 8 years old.

Cheers Stewart

Thanks again, yes green light on and when selecting between the 3 power setting I can hear a click down at the heater.

I will look for the limit stats and check those. I dont recall seeing them when taking the front off the heater I take it they will be at the connections at the rear, but im sure I will trace them.

Cant believe it but the electric side of the water heater is not working! Fuse ok and not blowing fuses so looks like element has burnt out! unless there is some kind of 12v switching when using 240v to heat.

And to top it off smoke came out of the satellite funny enough which we use on the 12v supply????? I hope I dont have a charger/12v problem will check supply voltage when I get home all in one trip away!!!

How did I miss an invitation for a cuppa??

If anyone still want to make one you don't need a holder, just make the lead long enough to reach from the back of the fire to the front where the gas temp sensor is and tie wrap the thermistor to the sensor. This is the one I made for Paul-B and it's 2ft long.
