Autosleeper Dorset owner

Hello everyone, I introduced myself a couple of weeks ago and have now taken ownership of my lovely new to me Autosleeper Symbol.  It has been meticulously looked after by the previous owner Derek Steele and I feel very lucky to be its next owner.  If Derek is on here I would love to ask him a few questions if that is allowed. There is a weird cylinder thingy in the glove compartment which I have no idea of and also a switch under the cooker alongside other switches and fuses which doesn’t seem to do anything or affect anything if turned off. The reg is HX13 GMG.

Thank you fixer I will do that, however the items I refer to have been installed by the owner and did not come with the van so could be difficult . I’ll take some photos tomorrow.

Oh that’s a point, I’ll hook up later and check it to see.  The chap that did the handover had no idea. He did turn the hot plate on but I’m not sure if he’d turned that switch off first. Another suggestion was it may have been a switch for a microwave but I don’t think the original owner had one.
Thank you Bob. It’s all a bit daunting at first as every van has different quirks.  

I also can’t work out how to Bluetooth my phone to the radio as can’t seem to find a setting in the radio despite there being buttons on the steering wheel to accept calls etc. .

Thanks Dave I’ll take a some photos of all the things I can’t work out.
