That’s good that they are the same so removes that potential issue. Worth checking the voltages at SB and AMT too so you know they are the same. However, your SB is seriously low and risks being damaged. I’d get a mains charger on it and make sure it will take and hold a charge. Then see how the AMT works after that.
When my SB went low after I spent a few days changing my LB and sorting the cerbo the AMT didn't fire up. Just enough in the SB (11.2v) to start the engine (low voltage warning message on dash). When the voltage went low next time the AMT kicked in happily.
I’ve been told I’ll need a new SB. I’m hoping not to have to spend that money yet. I don’t have a mains charger, I had a really good one but I loaned it to someone and that was the last I’ve seen of it. I’ll have to decide whether to buy a new charger or suck it up and buy a new battery. 
If you make it to the gathering on Friday, I've got one you can borrow, obviously not my good one! Give it back at summer/Bala/Autumn...I’ve been told I’ll need a new SB.

Thanks Wayne.
Why I carry two I just don't know! I've used them twice since the AMT, on other folks vans!Thanks Wayne.
Finally got a central storage box finished and fitted - three variations resulted in this. I'm really pleased with it.
The van ceiling is wooden effect strips, hence the detailing.

Hi Chris
Many thanks for the in-depth feedback,
It was a great pleasure in what was quite a complicated removal and reinstall, which did take slightly longer to do, but the end result was worth it
Speak again even if it’s about the old skool bikes/cars.

Have you got any photos of the slatted roof please @Snoopi-y-Fan ?
It's not fixed as yet, it's a snug fit and a combination of the carpet in the rear, the handbrake gaitor and the captain's seat swivel release lever keep it where it should be. The rear panel is shaped to fit between the two panels on the rear of the front seats.I like the idea of a central storage box Snoopihow is it fixed in place ?
For us the walk through is essential so maybe I could make a removable version ?
The idea was to use a couple of screws through the rear panel into the seat base, but on reflection, I might use thumb turns instead as it's a bit of wiggle to get it in place and the securing of it might not need to be very substantial.
i made mine removal (holds itself in place) and the passenger seat still spins around.I like the idea of a central storage box Snoopi

Hi Chris Shewood. Did you fit your own Snorkel or somewhere else?
