Re: Missing part

Best bet would be to contact a breaker, its a small part and probably not worth listing on its own and its only going to come from a broken vehicle;

Re: Mot fail

Welcome aboard!

Just seeing the written notice really isn't sufficient as it merely identifies the areas rather than the actual degree of corrosion.

Do you not have a local garage you use on a regular basis for normal service ...

Re: Leisure battery set up

Its quite possible that the two +ve connections running to the rear of the van might just in affect be in parallel, running two smaller cables is often a lot easier than trying to run one thicker cable thru the vehicle.
