A possible fix is to fit door push plates. Try Googling. Might hide the damage and look like it was designed to be there. John

Welcome Anopls. Hope you find all the info you need. John

The trick with the jointing compound is to not rely on just brushing. Brush to fill Tool to compress, Brush to top up Repeat if necessary. Not as strong as sand and cement. But has flexibility. John

St Omer is familiar to us as we often stayed at LA CHAUMIÈRE a very friendly site and ideal for the ports either at the start or end of a trip. Trier sticks in my mind for a few odd reasons. A very pretty town, but we visited a cafe and overheard an American trying to make themselves...

I would look at Lille, Mons, Charleroi, Dinant, Luxembourg, Trier. As I have found that Luxembourg's roads to be good. And it is toll free. John

It says ‘or’. But your point is taken, different function would normally be designed differently. But manufacturers will attempt to combine functions and use them as cost saving while at the same time providing the opportunity of selling points. My car has neither front fog lights or...

I have not needed to drive in fog for many years I am pleased to say. I well remember thick fog and using old tungsten headlights with the reflection of the fog you outline. It is not nice. I do wonder if modern halogen or LED lights would be better or worse in the same circumstances. Worse...

I think there is room for more improvement, (colour, text size, font), though it is now better than it was recently when, instead of stating ‘AI overview’. It ended with tiny text stating it was derived using AI. I don’t agree that the ‘learn more’, with three dots, is as clear as it could...

When we dragged the caravan to Prague, on reaching the outer ring road the first place we were surprised to see was a large Tesco. We visited the store, which had supervisors on in-line skates. But they also had bins full of chicken feet and other bits. Also nearly live fish in a tank. John

I tend to stick with Google more out of laziness, I do not mind the AI, and have seen some useful summaries as well as some not so good stuff. But then it is in its early days. I like that it appears at the top so it is easy to skip if you don’t want it. Google could make it clearer that...
