GJH Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Ralph - 2007-09-15 9:07 AM I was talking to someone on a MH rally last week who said that he is often asked by fellow motorhomers for the nearest Lidl. As we were chatting someone else came up and spontaneously mentioned buying something at Lidl. We must all be cheapskates (lol) I'm not just a Lidl cheapskate - I use Aldi and Netto as well - and all the pound shops :D :D :D Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any branches of the 99p store locally? They make pound shops seem expensive :-D Seriously, they have some great bargains but some awful tat that's not even worth 99p http://www.99pstoresltd.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poundworld & Poundland in Stockton, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool & Redcar and the 99p Store in Stockton & Redcar. You're right about the tat but we have had some very good value from each of them over the years. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb644 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Re, crud I have just had this problem with the used motorhome we have just bought. The best thing to get rid of this limescale substance is to use a weak acid cleaner/solution. I used brick cleaner in mine as it's acid based. Then topped up with water and left for a few hours. You need to be careful and follow the safety instructions, but once rinsed out, it comes up like brand new. Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder about using a limescale remover but I thought acid etc. might damage the rubber seal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Have you removed the seal and tried washing it? If the seal is flexed, hard limescale may flake off. A new seal is about £8 if cleaning doesn't work. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb644 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I removed my seal and cleaned it separately. I don't think the acid cleaner would damage the rubber anyway. Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Cleaned it with "limescale remover" today and it seemed to work. I then coated it in olive oil as advised. Next time out will be the crunch as I'll find out if it leaks when I cart it off to empty it :-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds painful (lol) If you are worried about leaks, part fill the cassette with a few litres of cold water and shake it around a bit. That should find any problems.
