Hi all,
I have a Mintern expandavan with a parkinson-rinnai stove (identical to this one encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREVfnNPewhku0UCBYix9Vr8Lb5QFF9azuveqLWPcVi1eTg6cLjBWVnJLL9&s=10)
I grew up going on holidays in this van, and we always used matches to light the stove. recently while giving it a thorough clean I realised it's fitted with a battery powered glow plug style ignitor system.
A good clean and new batteries and it works a treat!
The glow plugs are simple screw type light bulbs like you'd put in a dolphin torch, but with a metal cage instead of glass so the filament is exposed. They clearly have a limited lifespan and are designed to be replaceable, so I'm hoping to source some spares.
Anyone know where I might find some?
The van is in storage at the moment, but I can get some photos soon if it helps.
