Hi all

Our Caravan is a Sterling Moonstone 2001 model[:)]

1st problem,the rachet on the Handbrake has gone! [:(] is this an easy DiY? and where can I get parts, new or second hand in the North East Area?

2nd problem, Our Thetford Cassete Toilet CW 200CW/CWE will not flush[:(] I have checked the spade fuse etc this was okay I have checked the wiring to the blue button switch all seem okay! although it was damp inside the rubber cover? or could the problem be the pump impeller? if so where can I obtained any parts quickly also localy? any help and advice from our UK Members Brains would be greatly appreciated [:o)] Thanks.[:o)]

My Thetford wouldn't flush when I checked the van over before I first used it this year. I don't know what the model number of mine is but there is a built in loo roll holder next to the seat. This pulls out and gives access to the holding tank for the flush water. I gave the pump a gentle tap and waggled the wires and it worked again. Worth a try!

hand brake parts if alko

http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan/chassis/al-ko_chassis_parts.aspx

look here for repairs and manuals

   www.thetford-europe.com/web/show/id=26111/langid=42 - 15k

click on customer service then

user information then repair instructions then built in toilets,and select your type of toilet.


spray pump inside with lots of WD40 and turn impeller with a small screwdriver and it may be ok after that.they do stick if not used.

Hi Michael

Thanks for your prompt reply [:o)]the hand brake looks similar to the one on our Sterling? but I will check chassis to see if I can Identify any numbers/codes etc to see if this one will fit the price quoted is great and it looks a simple enough job to install, Thetford toilet info was also very helpful so I am hoping to solve that problem as well, thanks once again.[:D]

Best regards
