Hi Vanning folk Looking for a mobile caravan service company and have seen an advert for Direct Leisure Repairs (from Newark) has anyone used them and do you have any feedback. Been using the main dealer for servicing and they just charge too much we are in the Grantham Newark area Your...

Hi Van folk At the pack up from the last trip as I normally do I disconnected the mains lead leaving the radio on so we had music (the archers actually) for the final bit of shut down. When I switch off the battery charger in the wardrobe the radio stopped, I pressed the voltage charge button...

Oh you.......you know damn well it has to be screw top!

Alan Thanks for your non offensive observation last night that I may have been preaching.......I certainly was!(too much wine on a work day) H&S practitioners get a bad name due to a few poorly educated folk who think they know how to assess a risk and do not! Much of it is down to covering...

Hi Van lovers I too am on the side of the H&S mob being employed and qualified in Health and Safety. The big problem is people who read too many newspapers or listen to the odd story in the media (remember anything contriversial sells papers). H&S is an easy target, it's funny that conkers...

Thanks to you all for your thoughts so far....the V70 D5 seems to be the recommended tow car but the tax will cost me dearly. The A4 may not have the kerb weight A6 looking of interest so will investigate a bit more. Any more opinions very welcome! Fouldsy

Thanks Jim The V70 likes like a good option but the tax implications are high....your feedback is usefull.

Thanks Rob, the engine size available to me is the 2.0td 170 s line so power okay its the weight?

Hi Folks Currently have a Kia Sorento but a company car option is available so I am looking at tow car options. We tow a Swift 540 van, max 1500kg does anyone out there tow with the lighter A4 or V50 and the larger A6 or V70? I am weighing up tax implications as well but want the car to tow...

Thanks to everyone for their comment and feedback, big thanks to Kath at Swift for her post to this topic, I have spoken with them today and they are contacting my dealer with the details to sort the problem out. We are off to Northumberland tomorrow (River Breamish)so it will have to wait a...

Just given the van a wash this morning, going away on Wednesday, as I was up the ladder I noticed a small patch of cracked / cracked ABS at the top of the rear one piece panel I also noticed hairline cracks on the top rear corners of the panel. Anyone come across this before? We have not...

Thanks for the advice Had a look, the fire is siting on the V bits at the bottom and the wire springs which pull the fire front back against the surround are clipping into place. When I push the fire back it snaps into position but just as easily even if pulled lightly snaps back out again. It...

Hi van folk Sorry I have not posted for a while.....been jumping on other forums for things like Hifi...(I am a bloke, I can only do one thing at a time) Anyway need some tech advice...had a heater element replaced by our dealer just before xmas..all works fine now but every time we tow the...

We did have two dogs until about 8 weeks ago (Benson the old Black Lab cross has gone to fury heaven). We are now left with Bridget the fat whippet cross, boy does she have it good! She has her own 13.5 tog duvet with cover which we put on the front right bench, she loves it.... and does...
