Hi,

I Own a Talbot Express Bedoiun motorhome(done by Autohomes)

i have just recently bought it and can't get the taps,etc to work.The motor is running but no water is coming out,some-one said it could be the returns valve ???????

please help?

Hi Bill

This may send you off in the wrong direction, but on mine unless the hot water boiler is full i get no water hot or cold,so just check to make sure boiler dump valve is shut nomally a RED pull micro switch down the side of boiler, but there are variations on this

Cheers i'll check that tonight.

I Know the pump is pumping and there's water in the tank,there's even water in the pipe conected to the pump on the other side.

If yours has the RED button pull it up & you will feel it click, that means it's reset itself.Be aware that it will reopen automatically ( dump water ) when the temp drops to about 3 degrees this is a safety feature to prevent the boiler freezing up, let us know how you get on

Hi Bill, I have this trouble in my van after winter draindown. it's air in the pipes. i turn all the taps off bar one (cold one) and see if it pumps ok. if not i have a piece of tube to fit over the tap, suck on it (don,t laugh) to remove the air and it should draw water into the pump and get it working, then do same with hot system, Allow time for the boiler to fill up. best of luck.

Ours is not the same MH as you so this may not be appropriate to yours but when ours does this it's air in the pipes as Tony says.  We get it to  come through by filling the fresh water tank, lifting the pump out and swishing it around while it is switched on - luckily it has always worked so far.
