Steve, very sorry for getting your name wrong, my granddaughters are distracting me too much. Chris

John, thanks for your comments. I'll bear them in mind. Chris

John, thanks for your repy. I've put some comments in by mistake rather than a reply so please see them. Thanks again Chris

HI John, thanks for your reply. I suppose I was using the CC 85% a bit too rigidly but I was using it as a starting point to be on the safe side, what surprised me was that in some cases the figure was so much higher. You have helped to put some of my concerns to rest and although I will keep...

Hi all,I currently have a 2001 Freelander TD4 and a 2005 Lunar Lexon CS and am thinking of changing both soon but I'm not sure what to get. I've read the reports that the Mondeo is a excellent tow car and had almost decided on it. I've looked at "What towcar" to get an idea of a match up but...

Thanks Ray, sorry I took so long to get back to you but I've been in work on 12 hour shifts for the last couple of days and not had chance to get on the forum. I've checked my Al-Ko book and all the info seems to be there so I'll have a read while I'm on nights tonight. Again thanks a lot. Chris

Thanks Steve and Janet, I'll look into getting a manual.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure what I can improve really I just wanted to make sure they in good order. It sounds like it might be a job best left to the experts anyway so i think I'll just try somewhere else for the next service and insist that they are checked. The reason I wanted to...

Hi, after having my caravan serviced by two different service centres for the last two years and not being totally happy that my brakes are as good as they should be, I have decided to have a look at them myself. I always have done most of my own car servicing but are the brakes on a carvan any...

Hi Paul, thanks for your suggestion but it seems that Swift are saying that they have put gery windows in their vans since 2000 and this van shouldn't have brown ones. This is strange because as I said in my first post the van was new when they bought it in 2006.

Hi all, my brother-in-law had an accident with his 2006 Swift Carisma caravan in which the kitchen window was damaged and needs to be replaced. It is a brown window and he made a note of the numbers on the window and the chasis number of the van and ordered a replacement from our local Discover...

Hi all, has anyone had trouble getting replacment sections of of awning rail. I had an accident with my Lunar Lexon which means that the last rear section of the rail needs to be replaced. The repairers have had my van for about a month now and say they are having trouble getting a replacement...

We have just come back from a week at the new Centenary site in the New Forrest which was wet at first but turned out to be a really good place to go, we had a great time and the wardens made us feel very welcome. We then moved up to Bladdon Chains near Bleniem Palace and the weather turned out...

Hi all, I have a Lunar Lexon CS and was wondering how people clean around their roof vents? Due to the position of the vents and the way the main vent opens I can't get all around each vent. I've seen questions asked before but is it ok to walk on the roof to do this and if not how can you...

Hi John, thanks for the advice, I'll try it later Chris
