We bought a fabulous van last year - far too expensive and too big really - cos it had a motor mover already on it and my OH had a hankering for back pain free moving.
So you can imagine our annoyance a couple of weeks ago when my OH discovered that one side wasn't working.

Now not being one to give up (his tag is "Boris is invincible") he ran all sorts of tests and found that the power was getting to the circuits but not beyond, so he figured a relay had gone. So He went on ebay and bought a new relay and now it works again Yay! Saved us the cost of a new one.

Just thought anyone with a MM might like to know.

I have a Truma Original Mover. It has the gritted rollers and I am positive that they are secured to the gearbox spline with a taper pin. Is this correct?
