Hi everyone,
The central control unit in my MP has failed after I spilt a coffee over it.
Sadly I only found out when trying to lower the roof on a campsite and the down switch no longer worked.
Fortunately there was another MP on site and after some begging the owners very kindly let me remove the unit out of their van and temporarily fit it into mine, which worked perfectly and allowed me to lower the roof.
As a result I now know that the unit is very easy to replace , but I am struggling to source a new one.
The parts department at my local Mercedes (Northampton) didn’t have it on their system (presumably because it is a Westfalia part?) and directed me toward Mercedes Vans in Milton Keynes. They had not heard of Westfalia and said that they couldn’t help.
I called Harbour Creek Motorhomes as I had seen them mentioned on here as a Westfalia dealer. They were very helpful, but advised that they work with Westfalia France and directed me toward their local Mercedes Vans dealership. I have yet to try them, but feel like I am going round in circles.
Has anyone had any luck sourcing a replacement unit or recommendations of the best way to do so?
Thank you!
Wesley
