    Battery Charging

    If you cannot get the suggested chargers both Aldi and Lidl do there own which are good value for money and do the same (Aldi was about £13) and Aldi had them for sale a week or so ago and may still have them in store. I've had one for about four years to look after the battery on my Jag and...

    Jaguar xf s 3.0 diesel auto

    I had one of these cars until 18 months ago and I rang the customer service at Jaguar who told me the limit was 75g which I managed with a bit of rearranging of items in the van but making sure that everything was evenly distributed. I had a small van 1400kg and the Jag was a great tow car

    BMW Hybrid

    What I need is a decent plug in hybrid along with a good petrol (or diese)l engine which can take over when electric power has run out and which my employer will accept. I will keep on looking. Many thanks for comments

    In the September issue of Practical Caravan we are invited to enter into two competitions via the website. There is no sight of them yet. How long after the issue of the magazine does it take before they appear on the website? :)

    Towing Cover

    Thanks Dustydog for your advice. It seems the company may be able to help. We have to make a few measurements when we have the new van with the cover on and then they will advise if they can actually do it. I will post the outcome in due course.

    Towing Cover

    We bought a made to measure towing cover from Specialised Covers for a 2014 Lunar Clubman. Just p/x this van for a slighter smaller width van. I like to keep the cover but think it might be too big. Anyone know where I can git it altered if it doesn't fit? SP won't alter. Thanks in advance
