Thetford LOO problem

Toilet-website

Thanks Derek - Tried a few sites (didn't come across that one - very useful for what it does provide).

As often happens I think I am on a winner, then someone wants my card details for the info and I back off at that point.

Found a site 'Fardo' which offers what I hope are appropriate details, but had to 'Register' and am awaiting confirmation to go that next step.

Cheers - regards, Phil

Notso - you're a genius. Thanks for that reminder, seems I had a similar problem some time back with ants blockage, lil beggars get in after the water it seems.

Have to rush off to family functions all day, but will pursue that when I can get a free moment and post an update when done - might not be today though.

These senior moments of forgetfulness have their advantages - you get new experiences every day - again & again......

Thanks all.

Regards - Phil

Hi Colcam - thanks for the feedback. As with others earlier, all very informative.

Derek's drawings are the only ones I have managed to get so far and they are now filed with the operating manual.

I'm fairly certain Notso is on the money with a blockage being the culprit and I will delve into that when I get to it.

I am dreading the prospect of undoing all those screws to get the assembly out, but it is looking likely as my continued efforts at getting the fuse back in have failed. At least now I am aware that it doesn't just 'clip into place' so I would have wrecked it with my usual tactic of giving a bit of a tug to see if that works.....

The annoying issue is - what is stopping the fuse from going back in? I didn't have that problem when I first got hold of the van and had to check it out. It is almost like an electrical switch has activated and the blade holders won't separate. So your tip is next on the list to get the switching system out and investigate further - then on to the probable blockage.

The saga continues and updates to follow. Thanks all - Phil

Thetford repair manual

Just look under C2 type cassette type. Good luck,

WOW Col - That is impressive, exactly the type of material I have been faffing around for a couple of days trying to get hold of - A very big thanks for that.

Having been involved in a hardware business in the bush years ago, a bloke would have killed for access to this sort of material. Way back, we were able to get good catalogues from the major firms (Sandovers, McLean Bros & Rigg, Atkins Carlyle to name a few), but when they fell away, there has been a huge gap in this type of material until this phenomenon called 'the web' arrived.

Now all a bloke has to do is learn how to get the most out of it.

I see what you mean by the file size - downloading now - colour pics and all - amazing.

Will be poring over this for some time now - hope I can Jag it.

Did the mirror, torch and fuse holder tool this arvo and had a real go at locating that fuse, but it will not sink home. Gonna have to pull the assembly out dammit.

Cheers & thanks

Phil
