the cable of the pulldown shelf in my Hymer 668  has come of the guide and there is no way I can access it or remove the back panel. Has anyone had this issue or any ideas would be helpful.

Two of the reading lights have failed as well, these are the ones with the blue touch button. It does not look as iff you are intended to replace the LED as its soldered in. after a search on Google I found the Led are available(Ebay) on there own (£1:33 for 10) or on the  star PCB (£2:42 for 10), Just waiting for delivery so out with the soldering iron.

    I assume the spotlights are like ours good news they are available from amazon.  About £18.00  Bad news they are not very reliable I have replaced 3 out of 4 in our caravan

    Ps these spotlights are dimable found out by chance but if you keep your finger on the button the light changes.

    Very little gone wrong with mine and I've owned it for 15 years.

    Thanks Boff, I have the 2 that don't work and 2 that are playing up and at £18 a time I will keep the soldering iron warm. 

    That's the lights sorted now what about this pulldown shelf, just cannot see away into fixing it.

    Like Boff I have a Hymer caravan. I have had 2 ceiling light leds fail and they were made by Dometic which I presume is a good brand. Fortunately Adventure Leisure have a two year warranty and will be replacing them free gratis. Whilst LEDs are good for low battery consumption it proved impossible to buy any whilst touring Spain or Portugal so a slight downside compared to the conventional bulbs.
