Ouch, I hope you didn't break anything keep taking the pain killers.

Fitted a new wiper linkage and motor to my MH, I’ve had an intermittent problem with the wipers stopping after an indeterminate time then starting up again 10 or 15 or 20mins later, apparently others have had the same problem which is difficult to diagnose because of it being so intermittent. Someone had a similar problem and it was found to be a circuit board which cost over £500 plus two hours of diagnostics, luckily for him it was under warranty, I thought I would try a new motor and linkage first as fitting it myself and also purchasing it myself worked out at £100.
The one below is the old one by the way.

It must be something to do with fridges, I replaced the hinges on mine and they where expensive for what they are but they make a difference.

[Markd]

Washed the dirt etc off the solar panel.

Got the cooker hood extraactor running smoothly - 2 squirts from oil can on upper bearing. But being Dometic getting at it involved loosening roof rail and removing 2 mushroom covers to get at it!

Need to clean rest of roof and see if I can see the source of intermittent water leak which only happens with van at particular angle - could be anywhere!
Any suggestions for good motorhome technicians in Gloucestershire?
