Hello again, I have a 2000 reg peugeot boxer symbol autosleeper, the thetford c4 toilet did flush, now it has stopped no pump noise. It is just expired, what could have failed?.

Check the fuse that van be found at the left of the cassette slot inside the door where the cassette is removed. That was what stopped my toilet from flushing middle of last season.

If you ‘suffer’ from black bits coming from your flush reservoir (assuming it is separate from the main water tank) then you may have a seized pump, which blows the fuse mentioned by inspiredron.

If you blow another fuse, then let us know as the pump can sometimes be accessed relatively easily and the pump freed off with pliers and WD 40. I have done this on my Rienza years back but cannot recall the toilet model. My current van draws from the main tank.

There used to be an excellent step by step picture guide to this repair on the net. I shall try to think of its title if my theory is correct.

I have been doing a bit of brainstorming and remember a chap called Zappy who used to sell water purification tablets and had a very useful website showing how to do various jobs in Motorhomes.

I cannot find the ‘original’ site, but turned up this link to the tutorial which saved many people lots of money and inconvenience.

My research also seems to indicate that your toilet is different to the version that I had, but perhaps the sequence is relevant to your model. Hope I have helped a little.

YIPEEEEE it lives. the fuse lives underneath the toilet accessed from outside the cassette compartment, in its roof at the rear, there was no black bits and the pump impeller was not seized but with the new fuse it would not turn, i gave it a good few turns with the small screw driver and after many tries with the electric it started to spin, I had to superglue the stainless screw to the end of the screwdriver to safely insert it.  thanks all, for the replies and assistance
