Spot on Alan, an Elddis Sunseeker! Does this mean we just have to put up with the clunking noise?

Thanks all, I have viewed the video and will look for some of the other nipples he mentions. I would still be concerned that the grease comes out in such a quantity and the knocking continues even after greasing??????? Mike

Hi all, I get a clunking sound when towing and going over bumps. The sound eminates from the telescopic part of the tow hitch and when I get hold of it and move it up and down I can feel the slight movement and hear the clunk. This was stopped last year at service interval by the technician...

Thanks to you all..........to clarify, my problem is that once the battery has lost a little charge there is not enough power to cope with the start up surge that is required to switch it on. The battery level indicator dips dramatically for a split second as it tries to fire up, and keeps on...

Thanks Tina, If your dad knows whether the LCD TVs use a surge of power to start up like an ordinary one that would be useful too. Mike

I have a Thompson 10inch 12volt TV and regularly use CL's with no hook up. The TV is fine while the battery is fully charged but after a coupole of days, with about two hours viewing a day, the TV wont work. It uses a lot of current for a split second when it switches on and this seems to...

Latest correspondence from the Explorer Group is that the windows were only covered by warranty for 12 months, not the 3 years like the rest of the van?? They did state they would love to help if only they could!!

I have the 2.2 Sport 2002 model and am completely satisfied with it. Nissan quote 2000kg tow limit although kerbweight is about 1500kg. My latest van is a little under 1500kg when loaded so I am at 100%, something I was concerned about in terms of the usual 85% recommendation. However, I...

We have a new Sunseeker 534 which is basically the Odyssey version. Our shower flooded on our second trip out, (and first time using shower) and we were in france. I traced the leak to behind the shower mixer tap where the housing of the mixer valve was cracked. Luckily I was able to blank off...

Thanks for the responses. John...You are quite right about my legal position. With the dealer no longer in business and having not used a finance company I am at the whim of the Explorer Group who can only manage a two line, shun the issue, letter in response to my outline of the problem. I...

I have recently traded in my Compass Rallye GTE 2000 model and lost £400 on a previously agreed value (uninspected) because the dealer found the three front windows crystallised, ie small cracks like stone chips had formed on the INSIDE surface. They said they had seen this phenomena before and...

My x trail is on 20000mls and no uneven wear. Tyres are still good but have worn more than I would expect, and particularly compared to my previous CRV at this same mileage. Incidentally, tread does need to be visible for the tyre to be legal.
