I had a problem with the kitchen tap in our avondale, I looked for a new ceramic cassette, and if I got one specifically for the caravan it was £18, I ended up getting one from a plumbers merchant for 4.99. The biggest rip off I think I have ever had was on my mondeo, when I first got it I...

Just a suggestion yours maybe the same, I have an avondale, I have a switch next to the door which lights red when on, this switches on the awning light, the red light presumably shows it is on from the inside if you for get to switch it off. When I first got the Van the bulb had gone but the...

Just found one for sale which seems similar to the one you describe, ie a T/A burstner Lux 5 berth from the 90s, it is advertised with an unladen weight of 1600kg, so laden would be more, definitely need something much bigger than a xsara to tow it. Your thread title seems very appropriate.

If you want to attempt to repair this is how I did mine, On top of the lever of the tap there should be a small round cover about the size of a 5p, this should pop off to reveal a small hole down the middle of the lever, at the bottom of the hole is a small screw which holds the lever onto the...

what type of tap is it? I had a problem with the kitchen tap in our avondale at the beginning of the year. Ours is the mixer tap type, when I turned the pump on it leaked badly from under the lever you use to turn it on and off. I got a new cartridge off ebay for about 6 quid and all sorted...

Nigel Funny you should say that, the second worst in the survey is a bmw 3 series

I personally have never owned one, but coincidently was just reading the following http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=154201077&page=10 Which are usually reasonably reliable.

I joined the RAC last year, the camping club were doing a deal for club members, however when I got a quote on the RAC website it worked out cheaper by about a fiver, when I phoned them I was told that if I took out the offer via he CC&C then I would be completely covered so If I was away with...

Two way radios are specifically exempt from the mobile phone legislation, CB radios etc are still legal, unless the device can be used as a mobile phone aswell. You can still be prosecuted if it can be demonstrated that you are not in full control of the vehicle. I find it hard to believe that...

If I remember correctly, the new mondeo was the camping and caravan club's towcar of the year last year, and if its anything like the old one, which I drive, then you shouldn't have any problems

Kev Keeping the battery in the garage for now, vans kept in storage, left the last one in the van and the electrolyte level dropped and I didnt check it so when we had a week away recently on hook up, it damaged the battery, hopefully this won't be as likely as it is a sealed unit but keeping...

Hopefully I can return the favour for your battery advice, I had a similar problem with the water pump carrying on running after turning the taps off, we have and 2004 avondale dart, the water inlet at the front offside not long after it comes in it passes through the pressure switch, it then...

Thanks very much for your help.

Don't look especially, all I needed to know was that it wasn't at the top, and that green is charged. presumably the ball floats on the liquid and as they are sealed this shouldn't change that much. thanks again

Thanks Kev One other quick thing, how far down the little tube is your green indicator? Mines about 2 or 3 inches does this seem correct?
