So has Overland Caravans in Larbert, Scotland. Happened recently.

Hi Kev Thought about Meths and White Spirit but did not want to take a chance with them. Never considered WD40 but as I have a WD40 stick I could try it on a small part first or go for the Meths method. Thanks for the tips. Harry

The plastic(?) which surrounds the CHRIS information on the caravan window has fallen of and has left a sticky mess round the number. What should I use to remove the sticky glue without damaging the perspex window? Harry

Thanks for your replies, folks. Have a nice winter lay-off Harry

Back to the smoking legislation, is smoking in camping site toilets banned under the new laws in Scotland & England? Harry

At that time I didn't have any chance to use a caravan cleaner. The damage was there before I even got down to cleaning it. BTW I normally use Fenwick's (yellow bottle), cleaner. Harry

Bought an new 2006 Abbey this year. Have had two letters from Swift requesting me to take the caravan to my dealer to have the Matador tyres changed as they are prone to cracking. Will be getting them changed at its first service. BTY Lunar seems to have the same problem with theirs. Harry

Hi James We had an Avondale Argente 470/2 2005 model bought S/H which had cracks on the front and back panels. We contacted Avondale Customer Service and were assured that they would do everything possible to repair it to its original condition even though the terms of the warranty would lapse...

Typical condescending attitude from "Top Gear" presenters. If your car/hobby etc. is not to their liking then they are very happy to indulge in their usual rubbishing of it. Only shows them up to be the three stooges, and not the three wise men that they think they are! Harry

"Is that not a cynical way to collect a motoring tax?" I thought that this was a penalty for breaking the law and not a tax?

In the last few days I have seen about three number plates with the sticky strips on the back lying on the grass verge. Seems like they are only difficult to remove when that is what you want! Harry

Thanks for the replies. Will pass on the info to my brother-in-law and let you know the result. Harry

I am asking this question on behalf of my brother-in-law so I apoligise in advance for any delay in answering any replies. He has fitted a CD/Radio to his van and when the player is operating on the 12v system everything is OK. When he switches on to the mains power he cannot receive the...

Hi The caravan dealer has a service & repair facility and has assured me that it will be done properly. I also phoned Avondale Customer Services who said that it would be OK to use and that this type of fault was known to them. They said that it may be a minor repair or, if serious, the front...

Thanks for your quick reply. Our problem is, do we go on holiday or take it back before we use the van and then get involved in a lot of hassle? If the repair is guaranteed then we would be quite happy to accept that route. Given that there could be problems even with new vans what other...
