If you are looking for a pair of Milenkos I have a pair I could let you have cheap. I have given up caravanning.

I was once coming back from Scarborough with my caravan, when I missed the turn off for the alternative route. I was getting more worried as I approached Sutton Bank but luckily there is a large lay-bye at the top of the bank and I was aable to turn round there.

Our first caravan was a Eurocamper 3 birth. It was 9ft 6ins long and we managed to get a hammock above the single bed to make it into a 4 berth. Like all the others it had 2 gas mantles and a foot pump for the water. There was no heater but the heat from the mantles made up for it. I think it...

We had a Tibetan Spaniel for 14 years and went everywhere with us. I have kept a diary of all or trips out in the van and found out our dog had actually travelled 17,000 miles in the van. That was on top of all other journeys we made once we were on site.

Are you positive that was the same awning you sent in to get cleaned

I had much the same problem with my awning being just a few centimeters too big. I solved this very easily by putting my caravan on ramps.

Brilliant Colin. It works. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Managed finally to get Radio out. The number on top of the radio reads M087819. It is a Ford 6000CD

I have received the removal pins but I still can't get the radio out. There is a curved end to the pins. Do you know which way they go in. I have tried both ways but still I can't get the radio out.

Colin. I have just ordered a set of removal keys from E-Bay. Total price £1 - 33p. You need the four keys to enable you to extract the radio.

Thanks Colin. I have seen the web sites giving codes but they need the number off the radio. My problem is, how do I get the radio out?

What is the easiest way to find out the Radio Code for a Mondeo. Had to disconnect the battery and of course that lost me the code.

Yippee. Thanks everybody for all your imputs. I have found out today that my EGR pipe is definately split. So Tomorrow it's off to the Car parts shop for a new one. So thanks once again folks

When my car started smoking quite bad, I did about 80 miles accelerating slowly and never going above 50mph. It managed 65.6mpg. Just shows you if you keep your speed down just how many mpg you can get. Incidently my car has only done 66,000 miles.

I would say the smoke is darkish grey and it does stay until I stop accelerating. I will try new filters to see if that helps.
