I broke my antenna connector on the rns510 yesterday. 😭
The white double plug is now only one... I put in the antenna cable and after my test I pulled it out and the center pin/thin cable broke. Now no signal anymore on this one. :mad:
Is possible to change the white connector on the rns510?

First real work started on camper conversion. Stripped out old panels, full clean out and wash down then sound deadening on arches and side panels along with some foil lined insulation on side panels and in any gap I could get it into. Happy with progress, long way to go but absolutely loved being out there doing it!!

I am going to repair the cable from the hood latch. I filled up the oil and after that the light didn't turn off. I tested the wipers when the hood is open and it works. That means that the system does not know that the hood is open.
But before buying a new cable, I am trying to repair it. Maybe I can fix it for cheap. 😁

Hopefully fixed the intermittant problem with injector number 3 and fitted an engine cover which I found on ebay for £35 delivered :D
