Re: LDV fettling, again...
Ended up drilling both rear corners and running supplementary earth's as I don't know where the main earth points are buried.
Everything working happily now so fingers crossed it stays that way for a bit.
Drivers window mechanism replaced too so summer air con now working too.

There's also something afoot with the murder van, do I need to keep a closer eye on him?

Re: LDV fettling, again...
I also changed the drivers window mechanism last week. The battery clamp had dissolved so part of the old mechanism was donated to the cause.
Then the welder started playing up. I thought it was the shitty undercoated and painted steel mixed with the galv tin I was using. The tip was dragging like fuck too. Only the second time this thing has ever played me up. Half an hour of fucking about and a new tip and back to the usual
It appears this thing is also going with the Chapman philosophy and making itself lighter as the rear step fell off the other day. Need more metal
