Hello Fellow Self Isolators

As we can't go out and about in our 1985 Pan Familia we are playing with her. Purchased her late last year hoping to get away but...

We can't get the water to flow through the taps. We only have a cold water supply and wondering if it's the pump possibly not working that's in the large water bottle. Hubby has just taken it out of the bottle and said it's hot and clicking.

We have no idea regarding the electrics but we do seem to have the interior lights working on the battery and everything else when plugged into the mains.

Bfn, Elaine

sounds like the pump has stuck, try putting small screw driver into base and turning propeller might free it up. better to change it. see search engine I think John England has a post on replacing pump. good luck

I was going to replace my submersible pump at the start of last season. Gave it a poike as scouteralf says and it's been working since.

I did source this cheap replacent for when I need it though.

If you can't fix it with a hammer it must be an electrical fault
