Where did you take the feed for the inverter from and what size wires did you run.
No map gas for your torch up there or just to expensive. :P

I just used the wires for the 12v socket :wink:
Primus is cheaper, more environmentally friendly cos the bottles are recycled and does the job for me

very nice van.

And even nicer setup in the back. One good thing about smaller vans like that, with the side and back doors you can reach everything without having to climb in.

i always thought about going onto the primus gas, for the cheapness of it, but not if its not as hot/quick as the Mapp gas.

Do the newer connects come as 75ps option now thought tdci was 90 or 110ps :?:

It has now been remapped by mail by Vantuner :D But you have to remove the front wing to remove/refit the ecu.

I will some better pictures, and yes the new ones are still available as 75ps.

The primus gas works fine for me and the rest of our guys, well worth £10 for the brass adaptor, and it works just as well on normal size fittings, struggles once you get to 54mm, but we usually use mappress above 28mm :wink:
