Strange that you had to do more than me. For me it just worked without having to do anything. Still your route was simpler than on windows still

Hi – I am writing this on a Toshiba laptop using Ubuntu 10.04 and connecting via Orange Huawei E1753 dongle. I got this up & running using the menu choices:\System – Preferences – Network Connections – Mobile Broadband.

No. = *99#
Username = user
Password = Pass
APN = orangeinternet

! tick the box to connect automatically

Make sure (in my case) that laptop wireless is turned off to force browser etc to use mobile.

Seems OK!

I am sorry I have no knowledge of that bus. I didn’t even research mine enough before I bought it (oops). Luckily the Optare I have uses a Cummins Series B engine which goes for miles and parts are easy. As to the rest of the bus I am going to worry about it when I have to. Probably not the wisest move but…..

Hi Gromett.. Just Started building a camper (motor home) using a MCW Metrorider. At this stage I am just working on the chasis (rust) and sorting out some engine issues. So a long way from putting a bed in. Saw your photos and thought it would be good to make a contact.

Best regards

Comment on Fitting a NaturePure Water Filter by Gromett

You need to buy the nature pure with the switched tap. If you put the unswitched tap on a switched system you will get a dribble of water then it will stop.
I did this on my previous vehicle and had to switch the main tap on just enough to activate the switch in order to get water out of the nature pure tap.
