Tim you must have a problem with your lock, I just hold the barrel with my thumb and turn the key

Thanks Paul, I will have a look for it

A question for Paul Jones,what is the black cover that you mention to prevent damage to the wheel? as my wheel lock has caused quite a lot of damage to my alloy wheel

Don't rely on a hitch lock while parked at services, it only takes a minute to unbolt the tow ball from the car

As I said feel free to join in, this subject comes up periodically on Trucknet and I will always defend our hobby but there are a hard core of drivers with extreme views that will not listen to reason.

You will find that at this time of year with all the cold damp air, the wood will have absorbed moisture causing it to expand. Once you get some heat in the van it will will dry out the wood and shrink back to normal

Thanks for your input guys, excellent

Thanks Mike, yes it is the standard clock between the overhead lockers in the lounge and I'm almost certain it wasn't an AA size because I remember looking at it and thinking it was an unusual type but thanks anyway

Could any of you good people tell me what type of battery is required for the clock on an 07 Swift Challenger 495 (I think they are standard throughout the range) Mine went flat so I took it out to renew it and promptly lost it

I have got the Mondeo TDCI 130 and could sing its praises all day, pulls like a train, etc,but as Roger says it's down to the individual. I can't fault mine as a tow car but if I was to buy a Vectra I'd go for the 1.9 CDTi 150PS

Hi Kev, I'd have phoned the customer as soon as I reached the width restriction sign but as they say hindsight is a wonderful thing. Nice bit of reversing though

Thanks for that Brian, could you tell me how you uploaded it to the forum, I used to use Steve's photo tool but for obvious reasons it doesn't work anymore If you look closely at the other photo's you can see water pooling on the seals between the window and the frames
