As the title, I'm thinking about changing from a Vivaro to a pickup. It wouldn't have as much carrying capacity, but that would just make me more disciplined about what ai carry. Sooo, has anyone made a similar change and if so with what result - happy, big mistake, or.....???
Hi all, back again requiring some transportable building knowledge, this time round a catering/burger van and its earthing arrangment.
Was asked to carry out some simple repairs and replacements to a local burger van that is basically static to one location. Fed by a 3kva generator with a16a...

We're getting some van stickers made. What would you want on them?
I'm thinking for the trusted advisors having some sort of wording denoting that they're a trusted advisor would be cool. A nice plug for them.
Then some standard ones perhaps saying 'I'm a member of ElectriciansForums.co.uk'...
Hi guys,
So basically I'm coming here looking for some friendly advice with the intention of eventually getting an electrician out to make sure I'm not messing anything up (I'm based near Swindon - recommendations welcome!). I just want to do as much of the prep as possible.
I've put together...

Hi I'm a qualified electrician but new to car electrics. Basicly want to do a mate a favour he needs to to run a 1200 watt 230v cement mixer for about 20 minutes at a time. So i've googled and you tubed and recon i'm nearly there. Im thinking connect the starter battery under the seat to a deep...
Hi, I have been offered a rather nice Vectra estate (I know,sexy or what?) and was wondering if any one else
owns such a magnificent beast. Does it look professional turning up in a car rather than a van,considering that an affordable van for me is going to be tatty. I am just starting out as a...
Just made the mistake of leaving my van unlocked for 10mins on a quiet cul-de-sac. Some scumbags managed to pinch my 18v Bosch grinder. Very lucky that it wasn't something more expensive like my fluke mft but just reinforces the fact that you can't be too careful
I have decided it's about time I got some van security and have decided on deadlocks.
I have been quoted £145(+VAT) per lock for a T series (thatcham approved/fancy key) deadlock and £125(+VAT) for an S series deadlock. This is with the following company who has good reviews...
Looking for a bit of guidance and how people go about connecting caravan pitches. Basically there is a PME supply on site which will be used to supply the toilet block and septic tank etc but I'm looking for guidance on how to terminate the hookups. There is a 16mm 3core armour run out to feed 3...
What's the next bombshell for Chris? will Auntie cancel his Radio 2 show? I for one certainly hope not I feel he was a good replacement for Sir Tel,
Some say if the STIG were Chris Evans he would bounce back, all we know is he is called "the Chris" yes I'm a fan.
Hi All
Has anybody had a problem or even heard of Galvanic Corrosion. A house that was completed 2 years ago has started having water leaks. (I know this is a site for electricians) a water softener was recently fitted and the manufacturers have suggested that because the plumber has used a...
After seeing this on the plumbing forum I thought it's wise for us to share van security tips, and van models to avoid (this is Mk7 Transit - has no top runner on the door which apparently allows you to stand on the door and simply bend it in a few seconds).
Alarms, dead locks, chains on the...

So what have people gone for I'm thinking just dead...
Hi All,
I've got a job to do at new caravan site. The client is paying for 3phase off of the pole that runs through the field and they have built a small solid building at the base. I'm assuming it's going to be connected as PME but i'm yet to confirm.
The client wants supplies to 5 pitches...

Hi peeps, anyone out there had deadlocks fitted to the lower part of the side sliding door of a Vivaro panel van (2009-14 model)?
I've just had this work done, and I'm unhappy with the finished product on the side door. Sure it locks, but the cylinder sits on a slant (the back door lock is...
Hi,
I spent some time putting together a security app to alert me each time the van doors are opened. I part built the commands utilizing the tasker app from androids play store and had help from a friend who lives across the pond, he built the majority of features.
I'm using the light...
