had so much help from you lot that I' thought I'd post this in hope it will help others . 

Our water pump   occaisonally leaks or seems to lose its connection . Our mobile service guy spotted the problem without us even mentioning it.( Would also highly recommend him, Steve caravanman, Sheffield  area)

The terminals that go into the socket, have over time just closed up a bit . He just opened them out with a scew driver and now we don't have to fiddle  about trying to get a tight fit .

 he says it's a really common problem .

  Cheers Siobhan

Sound advice but it's something I already knew from reading handy tips from caravanning handbooks. Also it's best to clean the terminals with WD40 as well as it removes any surface corrosion which is a spray that is safe to use with electrical components. The same goes with exterior light bulbs as well as they eventually suffer from the same problem over time which eventually causes bulb failure. People then look for something more sinister which all it may be is surface corrosion which requires nothing more than a rub with wire wool and a spray of WD40 to clean the contacts.
