You must have WEBASTO installed. Thermo Call is "only" to operate it via GSM.
WEBASTO has got a ventilation mode but in your location even the ventilation mode it's not useful so as WEBASTO itself;)

chrisellis211 wrote:Hi Samuel, the lights I used were £15 from b&m home stores. There an enigizer kit designed for under a kitchen cabinet. They came with a 240 to 12v invertor. I cut the end of the plug and wired it in to a constant live in the fuse box. Number 43 I think but I can check if you need. The cable that come with it were not quite long enough between each light so I just cut and extended as required. As for the earth that is just earthed to the chassis. I also have put a switch in so have taken a loop between the fusebox and the first light. If you need anymore help just ask.
Thanks Chris, I appreciate the help.

(Sorry for the slight thread jack)

Today replaced my fuel filter. Had only one Torx bolt that are not really wanted to go loose. But we did it and insert a new torx bolt.

I have also done a search on forum and although this question has been asked before-it has never been answered( that I could find)

Anyone.??? It gets dark about 4.30 and it's really hard to find stuff in the back without ANY interior lights!

I don't have enough posts yet to access all areas of this site. So I am relying on you guys. Can anyone please have a look in their owners manual to see where the interior light fuse is located?

No it has a ballast as well
The one I bought is below but you can get them cheaper especially if you buy from China but I wanted UK stock (for 12month warranty) and also the seller had the h1 and h11 kits in the same colour so all my lights match .

Well it wasn't quite on something I did to the van, but agreed a price and formulated a plan to collect one! I will soon be part of team Caddy!
