Hi all,

I had a problem at the weekend that left me unable to cook on the hob and I'm thinking I could have the dead Truma regulator issue. If I get all the bits needed to replace the regulator, is this something that can be done DIY or do I need someone to fit it for me?

I think the Clesse regulator would be the one to go for, is this the same one as part 16543 on bes.co.uk?

I'll also order the part 12673 from there as recommended by Gary. I'm going to replace the hose with a stainless steel variety. I searched for one on bes but am I right in thinking they seem more expensive on there than available elsewhere?

Lastly, is it worth adding the 90 degree elbow to the feed side of the regulator?

Thanks guys.

hi all my van is now 3 years old & i am on my 5th. regulator. new regulators have a 90 degree elbow fitted as standard. my last reg. blocked even after it had been raised & had a 90 degree elbow fitted.will see how long this one lasts....

all the best andy
