Hi Parksy, Thank you for eloquent reply, but I would have appreciated it more if you would have read my posting first. First off, at no point have I suggested that `the rules don`t apply to me` exactly the opposite in fact. Also, I took great pains to point out that I appreciated mods were...

I`m sorry you have taken my posting as a personal insult, Parksy, as it certainly wasn`t intended as such. I do stand by my "puppets and masters" statement as you have confirmed that although you (quote)"don`t always agree with the various rules that apply to me", you do enforce them, hence...

Oops, I appear to have been modded! Not to worry, the mods are only puppets doing the bidding of their masters. Right Paul, I shall attempt to explain why you cannot posy derogatory things about certain companies. Practical Caravan is a business, whose sole reason for existence is to make...

Yeah, don`t you get a warm feeling when you realise that your existence has been enriched. It was worth getting up today then.

I would expect to see a lot of white smoke for starters. It`s far more likely to be an engine management fault, get it onto a diagnostic unit before you do anything else. ECU/air mass meter/turbo pressure valve faults are more common, and usually cheaper to fix.

Very naught, Paul. Parksy is correct in that you can`t post such things on here. Post edited by forum Moderator Hope this helps.

Ah, quick update to those interested. Rather than pierce the side of the gas canister, our travelling mastermind used his implement to knock off the `head` of the container. Only a detail, same result, but I know we have some pedants in our midst.

That would require some measure of intelligence, surely. And thats where the discussion falls flat. now if it were benefit claims...........

Oh ye of little faith. The original posting was made before anything went to press, and until the post mortem and investigation is complete, there will be limited details available. However as my driver was given the details by an eye-witness prior to anything in the press, and the eye-witness...

Craig, It will get you there, but I think you are taking a retrograde step. If you do fancy a Passat of that age, get a 130TDI (preferably a Sport for the stiffer suspension and six-speed box), there are a lot out there, and the difference would have you believe there are more than 30 extra...

Hi C & R, We were also in Brighton a couple of weeks ago (Sheepcote Valley) but left a week early as we decided it wasn`t our ideal type of site, and the bit we were on was about the most unfriendly I`ve been to in twenty years of `vanning, with `neighbours` looking at you funny if you uttered...

Apparently a member of the travelling fraternity has lost his life outside a scrapyard quite close to where I work this morning. Said individual turned up at a srcapyard with a gas bottle to `weigh-in` which the scrapyard refused as it wasn`t empty. So, said person takes it outside the gates...

Actually Colinn, you`ve hit on something there. If we have a three lane motorway, and the hard shoulder is in use as an extra lane, what will Mr/Mrs Middle-lane-moron do then??????? "Hmmmmm, do I go in lane two, or three, or should I staddle two AND three as I will be in the middle then?"...

The GT60 looks a very nice van `in the metal`, and in no way looks a `budget` model. Never bothered to look inside as I`m not in the market for a new van, and TBH didn`t pay that much attention when it was on site, although as it arrived and left on a transporter and was subjected to a...

Very brave (foolish?) man. Mine would get lent out to no-one, no way, no how. I see the end of a beautiful friendship..........
