all the shockie bushings look ok. leaf springs seems alright too.

fwd or rwd? Could be the wheel bearing shotting itself. N


RWD

It's a very sudden and loud metallic thump when it happens

I worked out that the reason my invertors not working is probably cos the fletner that was only fitted nearly 9yrs ago is leaking right above it and dripping straight into the front end face of it.

I have a fan heater under the seat, sms operated relay, 2000W inverter and 4 auxiliary batteries in the back. All I need to do on a frosty morning is....

I'm shocked and surprised to hear this coming from a fellow engineer :?
Was the system installed before you came into ownership or did you install it? (9 years suggests the former) but if the latter then surely you would have performed a risk assessment prior to installation? But it appears not to be the case. :cry:

You'll have to report to the engineers lodge where you'll be reeducated and regraded. :wink:

Why would I need to bring only one comfortable shoe?

And performing a risk assessment does not automatically exempt said person from taking said risk.

Anyway thevent was fitted when the original owner converted it into a Workshop van for there Fleet. And over those years the plywood they used as a base between roof and vent has now disintegrated. I find it highly inconvenient.
And it was I who moved the inverter to facilitate a more useful setup of the redundant corner area unbeknownst to me that the vent would leak directly into it's new position.
I ma Wright a strongly worded letter to the original vehicle manufacturers for not ensuring proper installation of third party items on there vehicles.
