I agree. Whattowcar is the site tolook at. I test drove a Korando. It was shocking. There are far better cars out there

Hi I suggest having a look at www.whattowcar.com to get compatibility information. Having said that, I looked at a Honda CRV and thought it was superb and loved the styling over the Rav4 but that was my taste. However I read about Honda's being one of the most reliable car brands. Personally...

I wondered if anyone had experienced similar experiences with their dealers. I took my 4 year old Lunar Lexon 530 for its 4 year annual service. I was advised that a predominately dealer serviceable chassis component needed replacing. As this was something I had never touched the damage could...

Thanks for the great detailed feedback. That was really appreciated. Thanks again

I am looking at a new (ish) Subaru Forrester to tow my Lunar Lexon 530 (mtplm 1460) From what Towcar.com the match is 94%. This worries me a little as its a bit high. Does anyone else have a Forrester, whats it like? How does it tow?

I thought the same at first. But it's been doing it since I got it at 19k miles. And 2 cars with exact same faults? That's too much of a coincidence to me. But I'll ask my mechanic

Just wondering if anyone was having similar issues to me. I have a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander with 35k miles. Although its a great car there are 2 annoying problems 1. The throttle over revs at around 1800-2000 rpm if you accelerate hard. The revs fly up then drop down and power is restored...

sounds like there is paint on the towball. You need to remove all paint from the towball with sandpaper so its bare metal. I had the same issue when towing with a new car and the towball didnt have all the paint removed. When i unhitched i noticed the much of the remaining paint had been...

Forest Gump That feature on Caravan Finder TV was really good and really interesting explaining everything in very simple terms. Other forum readers, if you havent seen it, watch it online

we can all get reactionary and grumpy if someone doesnt go our way. Something about being british. I'm the same but also praise where its due If you want to read things from grumpy people, try the letters pages in Caravan Club magazine

I left site yesterday and saw 5 or 6 cars, not 4x4 talking like vectra or mondeo sized cars with no towing mirrors. I wouldnt tow without them they give so much vision. We saw a car nearly crash into the back of a caravan as they both pulled out at the same time on the M1 but the tower couldnt...

I am amazed how many caravanners are driving about without extention towing mirrors. I thought this was a legal requirement?

We had a similar problem with our Lunar Lexon 530 and thats a 2011 model and we'd only used it a few times. Plastic showers fixed it but i quite agree with previous posts that this should be nipped in the bud at the manufacture stage

oh yeah that too. most important hehe

Welcome to the club! Sure you'll find caravaning great fun. Your local caravan dealer accessory shop should sell everything you need and give you the advice. Or if you know what you need buy online. My personal tips are - wheel lock - make sure its easy to fit and Approved Insuresafe. Hitch...
