Don't forget that in Germany you will be limited to 80Kph including on the autobahn.

You would be better to buy a 60cm dish then it will work everywhere in the (present?) UK and quite a way into France. You will also need a satellite finder which cost about a fiver when Lidl or Aldi have them on offer, and a good optical compass the find the direction. As for a receiver you can...

I'd second that - have stayed there many times. However......... Approach from the north side through Malleville-sur-le-Bec on the D581 from the D438. Go through the village, into the wood, and where the road does a 90 left, turn right. Site is first entry on right. The road down into Le Bec is...

It is not clear whether it is the MCB that is tripping or the RCD. If it is the MCB there will likely be a bang associated with it as to trip a 10A or 16A breaker needs quite a bit of current to make it go - way over its rating. If there is simply a click it would suggest a faulty breaker...

For the record no satellites were harmed during this thread, and none were moved either. Th signals were simply moved from one bird to another in the cluster of satellites at 28.2E, the new sat having a much tighter footprint onto the UK. I was reading another forum the other night which...

It could still be the radio even of different makes. Many CD/radio units cycle the CD mechanism when powered up from cold to ensure the lens unit is in the right place.

The mover draws about 80A so a 110Ah in a good state of charge is almost mandatory. Curiously the cables from battery to controller are like welding cables, but those from controller to motors are much thinner. However when you move it its whistles which suggests the motors are what are known as...

In case you haven't found it the microwave is plugged into a 13A socket somewhere nearby. Has the fuse blown?

Can only answer two points. The chassis number will probably be found embossed on a small plate riveted to the side of the chassis just behind the hitch. There should be a 'window' in the faring to make it visible. The max gross weight - now known as the MTPLM or MaximumTechnical Permitted...

Can't help with sites but Catterick Caravans have secure storage - I was there today.

The risk of a private purchase. Sadly he has no comeback and will have to fund the repair himself.

The limitation of how much a tug can pull is largely down to the strength of its chassis. Both vehicles you mention are Chelsea Tractors and are designed to pull loads - hence why the Sorento is by far the most popular towcar in the UK. Even my Passat estate has a pull capacity of 1800Kg and...

For the record, Astra 2F. :)

A note to add. Look on your towbar label, especially if it has a removable ball, and check the maximum load it can take. We have a Passat B6 estate which is rated for a maximum noseweight of 90Kg but the towbar is only rated 85Kg so 85 wins. There is wide variation on noseweights (which are...

As others have said, it really is a must to have the correct connection. The £220 is not just connections to lighting wires: it will have a software interface associated with it so that it can talk to the car control system. It also means that the towing programme can be activated in the control...
