First mod, sort of.

Postby Damien89 » Mon Jul 27, 2015 6:34 pm

My van was supposed to come with the 220v power supply, but somehow it didn't. So i got the dealer to order me the parts needed so i can install it.
I had to obtain the part numbers i needed cause the parts guy had no idea what an inverter is and how to find it in microcat.
So yesterday i picked up the parts and i got to install them today. I was afraid that the plug with the main loom wouldn't be there so it was sort of a gamble but i got lucky and the plug was there in the drivers seat base.
The base to which the handbrake attaches too had to be different but i didn't know that, but i modified the transformer a bit by removing a part from it and it fit barely. Also the cover that covers the handbrake mechanism had to be modified a bit but after a few hours i managed to put everything in place and have it working.

Tidy!!! Waiting on delivery of mine and was thinking of doing the same. How much did it all cost? Would I be better off getting a generic inverter (maybe 1000watt) and fitting it. Cheers mate.

To tell you the truth it didn't cost me anything as i got it for free from the dealer because the bus was supposed to have come with the invertor from factory.

The only part number i dont have is for the part that the handbrake and invertor attaches too

Oh and another thing, the invertor i ordered came with a 2 pin socket instead of a 3 pin uk socket, just so you know.
