Just picked up an ex Rac van!

Bit of work to do here, we are on the way back to Cornwall with it right now, can't get the DAB radio to work so wondering if the aerial isn't connected, I'm sure this the least of my worries

Update, 66 miles from home and we had a strange smell and the passenger seat was getting hot, pulled over and lifted the seat pad and the battery was hot and venting!

No tools on me but managed to loosen a fused link to isolate from the main battery.

Not an ideal start mate but an easy fix at least !

I know, I thought it was going to go up in smoke!
I'm not sure if the battery is cooked now, will have a look tomorrow and start stripping stuff out.
The RAC could have left me at least an adjustable spanner in the back somewhere.

Yes, "can you come and get your van back, it's on fire"

Not the best start to ownership but hopefully things can only get better
