Thanks John. I'm glad you found the video useful 👍. Been anywhere nice in your B584?

@@HermanHitstheRoad Not yet just bought the van in Germany North of Hamburg going to live in Spain / Portugal for a couple of years doing a lot of Spanish lessons at the moment which I am enjoying still not very good but making slow progress.......thanks again for the video 😀 👍

Yes, I believe so, @patmoloney5784. There are links in the video description

No problem, John. I'm glad you found it useful 😊

Thanks Dave and Doreen. I'm glad you found the video useful. 👍👍 Ads

Thanks Chas.

Thanks Steve. Glad you enjoy the the videos 👍👍👍

LOL 🤣😃 Thanks Happy Place Diaries.

William, that's a great idea. Is it easy to remove again?

Thanks Thomas 👍👍👍

@@HermanHitstheRoad Have you got a motorbike?

LOL Robert. Your comment started off sounding like what a troll might say but ended up being a massive complement 🤣😆👍. Well, if ever you get in to a conversation about fixing Hella headlights in a Hymer then you know what you're talking about 😉👍 Do you a motorhome, camper or caravan?

Thanks Paul, hopefully it'll help many people 🚐🚐👍

Wow £1500 for a new light? I thought these lights were expensive at £180. Thanks Phelix 👍👍

Glad to you found it useful, EMG

Thanks mikerphone. Did I tell you about rain dripping in to my eye.....👍👍😃

@@HermanHitstheRoad l think you did mention it 🤣🤣👍 , great fun keep it up guys....

Thanks William. I thought so and did consider it but I really just wanted to get the job done without breaking anything else.

Hi Nicholas, I replaced the adjuster knob with a USB socket 👍👍

LOL Alex, very distracting 👍👍😉🕹

Is it not a MOT failure if that adjuster doesn't work?

@@darraghfinnan3740 not if the headlights are already adjusted correctly.

@@ttxela I cable tied up light's to pull them up to the Normal higher height permanently. Then I removed the the adjustable nob on the inside and blanked it off. I think it has done the trick.

Thanks Andrew. I noticed this in the edit and corrected using a title in the screen. Did you see it?

Thanks cjmackie. No I didn't. I was just really interested in fixing the lights plus LEDs aren't exactly legal in these lights (No kite mark) but they would have passes the MOT though.

Wow, sounds like a load of work, Mickey. Sounds like you sorted though 👍👍

@@HermanHitstheRoad It was , and still is ! . I had the bumper off for another job i was doing , and it needed welding anyway . As i'm sure you know , to get the bumper off you have to remove the front spats , which also needed welding , and the inner wing was the result of finding the corrosion . That was serious work , as i ended up having to cut it out , most of the screws were shot . I had to removed it , to improve access for my mate up the road (a mechanic) , to weld the chassis . I can't metal weld , but i learnt to plastic weld last year , it's all done now . I've wax-oiled inside the chassis , and welded the bumper , along with the inner wing , but i'm struggling with paint on the bumper . It's too dam hot (couldn't make it up , could ya) . Both front spats have also been repaired , and one's painted . The other is in primer , awaiting top coat , same as the bumper . The original job is done , cooling system , though that became bigger than planned . With the bumper removed , access to the front of the engine is greatly improved , and i've done the timing belt , plugged two oil leaks on the rebreather system , and completely repainted the front chassis legs . Load of other work has been completed , and i'm busy finishing up , on the power steering system now . I found corrosion on three steel pipes there . I enjoy working on engines , but this job has become way bigger than i first imagined , rather like the proverbial can of worms . It started off as a new timing belt , and water pump replacement . Both ended up being completely rebuilt , with the only original parts of the cooling system being the cooling fans , and the engine itself , quite literally . The timing system is completely new , after i found the anti vibration damper seized , i didn't want to risk anything else failing . I've got a good engine in the van , it's got less than 50 grand on the clock , is pokey , and returns over 30 to the gallon , depending on terrain . I'm toying with replacing the inner wing with heavy plastic rivets , normally used to fix front bumpers . I've already replaced the rear mud flaps with new bespoke rally versions , using those same fixings . Got several jobs on the go at present , with the rear motorcycle rack , steering , and electrical . I've removed stickers from the body , which ended up with some body paint work , but i can see the light at the end of the tunnel now . Just need it to cool down a bit , so i can finish the paint , ready to put the front end back together , when i finish the steering . 😅

You have been hard at work, Mickey 👍👍. What have you got? How old is it? How long have you had it?

@@HermanHitstheRoad Ermmm well , it's a Hymer 584 , based on a 2000 , 2.8idtd , Fiat 230 , l14 chassis . Two years newer than yours . Much of the work is down to poor , or a complete lack of maintenance , by the previous owner . He owned it from 2006 , when it was imported , to 2017 when i brought it . To be brutally honest , i'm basically removing bodge after bodge . It's taken over my leisure time , as i've been removing his work , and putting the van right . Very occasionally , i'm removing what i suspect , is Hymer's own build work , a good example of this was the d+ wire . Hymer had made a brutal connection onto that , which could have caused a complete failure , of the d+ signal . I'm returning the van , pretty much back to it's original condition , with a couple of custom modifications , but it really is getting outta hand . I've spent nigh on three and a half grand so far , spaced over the last three years . I started just after the first lockdown . Today , i've just replaced the sliding window , channel seal . It now glides closed , where before it could be a struggle , and if left for any length of time , could seize up completely . There's evidence the whole window has at some point being removed , not sure why , but i found one of the clamps , basically doing nothing . The trim is in need of some attention , and will receive that tomorrow , plus i broke a part that i need to repair . One of the dangers of working without a manual , and of course the job can take three times longer , as you have to work out how it's assembled , to be able to disassemble it . It is a challenge , but like i said , i can now see the light at the end of the tunnel .

Glad to of help, Tim. I'd expect you'd need to buy the whole lamp but I could be wrong. At one point I did look for replacement lights but they are very expensive. Try calling/visiting a Hella supplier

Thanks @mjgdevos. I hope you find the videos useful. I have taken the sealing strip out a little and resealed it. Some time in the future I'll redo the whole strip

Where do you mean, Richie? What problems? Do you mean where the pipe goes to the engine? Thanks 👍👍👍

@@HermanHitstheRoad I don’t know about Diesel engines but open vacuum pipes will suck in rubbish. Petrol engines causes real bad running issues with vacuum leaks. Sorry I didn’t mean to cause a questionable issue. Richie.

Hi Peter, there is a parts list in the video description

www.ebay.ie/itm/Leuchtweitenregulierung-Hoehenverstellung-Fiat-Ducato-Typ-230-ab-Bj-94-/124153802431

Thanks Peter, we never used the auto leveling and I'd removed the knob in the dashboard and replaced it with a USB port anyway.

@@HermanHitstheRoad Ah no bother yes but it’s rather important really and fitted to every car, Van lorry etc. The Ducato levelling system is manual levelling not auto. as you manually adjust the knob. Modern LED headlights have auto levelling. When you add load to any vehicle, car van or commercial vehicle the light focus is altered. This is especially relevant in a Motorhome as the payload could be anything from 200 500kg, a motorcycle rack and bike, luggage etc. So the levelling needs adjustment as the lights will blind oncoming traffic. The system is not connected to any vacuum system, it’s a Hydraulic sealed system, the unit in the dash is a manual pump, the two pipes carry the fluid to the actuators adjusting the beam. If anyone wants direction on how to fit or where to get parts I’d be glad to help.

Thanks Peter 👍👍🚙

We never found it, James. Sorry.

@@HermanHitstheRoad that's fine, thanks anyway , James Stewart

Camp mal, he's like the six million dollar man - we can rebuild him👍🚐🚐

Thanks for your comment, Darragh. I removed adjuster and put a USB port in its place.

@@HermanHitstheRoad brilliant. Many thanks.

I love a self build Terry. Do you have any photos? As for names, the first one I thought of was Clarence which is Chas's dog. He can be a pain 😆😀👍

It was meant to be van i was half asleep 😂

I will get some sorted out for you photos of in and out
