A thought. How about creating a Market Place that only signed in members can view. this would reduce the risk for those that wish to post contact details. Having said that I would still use a "disposable" email address if I were to post.

Wish we had, we are down to about 600litres left in our water storage, that's about 2 weeks at most before we run out and have to resort to a hose😱

What is this rain you speak of?

I've just put in a route that 95% of satnavs for other than cars get wrong. No surprise it gets it wrong and directs down a very small road with a 6'6" width limit. Anyone want to try it, it's to Gear Farm near Helford coming from somewhere not on the lizard. If it takes you round Mawgan creek...

Yes, in fact it will be done tomorrow before going back under it's cover. I do use a lot of microfibre cloths, 10-15 for a small sports car. Once a year it gets a full valet and polish from the local detailing company usually just before it's winter hibernation.

On mine the 12v is still connected to the fridge control panel even with the master switch by the door off.

I use the same weighbridge even though it's miles from home as it's on our way out. Since the first revision it's been within 10kg every time.

I worked out my load added it to the MIRO, loaded the van and went to the weighbridge. It was then I found out that the published MIRO wasn't within 70kg of the actual weight of the van as on the weighbridge it was 70kg over the MTPLM. Moral of this is the only way you can tell whether you are...

In the days before they expanded it used to be said of VAG cars that: Volkswagen were for normal people Audi were for people with more money than sense Skoda were for people with more sense than money. Now there are too many brands under that umbrella for that to work.

I've never had one, but have had two Octavia vRs estates that were pretty large. They also manage huge milage my first one hit 250k by the time it left the family, the second is well over 100k and is in the possession of Stepson.

When we go away just about everything is in the Yeti, the car becomes in effect a van as we fold the rear seats up. With a family of 4 we would need a Skoda Superb Estate to get a big enough boot.

I stopped shaving at 18 years old, 55 years ago. Hair and beard trim every so often that's it. Since 2020 it's been a DIY jobbie.

My jockey wheel tyre is 2 years old and cracked due to UV.

It's UV (sunlight) that degrades tyres. Keeping them covered when not in use helps to prevent this. As an example my inflatable jockey wheel which is in sun all the time is cracking and showing signs of ageing, the spare one I have that was bought at the same time and has been on a shelf in...
