The copper patch is stuck not straight on top of the circuit board, but on the protruding columns of the button pad that hover above the board. The gap is at least 2-3 mm and is only closed when you press the buttons. Both of them must be operating fine, with a gap, because if one of them...

Hi, Having had some problems turning on our Pwrtouch Evolution Mover remote control of late I have fixed it and for what it is worth here is a note that may help somebody who has a similar problem. Mike A

"There is a site beyond the museum coming from the Ouistreham direction, sorry forgotten name. Pretty old and expensive but quiet.". I think that would be Camping Des Capucines in Ranville. As you say, a quiet site and a little tired but still one of my favourites. But it certainly does not...

Thanks KF. I will pass the advice on to she who asked me to post the query. :)

Hi, In our Unicorn II Cadiz there is a very annoying, wierd shaped gap between the round shower and the adjacent rectangular basin cupboard. Has anybody else discovered an effective way of cleaning in the gap? Waiting in hope.... Mike A

Percy, We have always found the laid back, simple ambience of Camping Des Capucines at Ranville to be the perfect place to spend a couple of days at the beginning or end of a continental trip. The toilet blocks are clean, most pitches have an individual water connection and waste water outlet...

Hello Hugh, Sue and I stayed there about three years ago for about 4 or 5 days, en route to Italy. We liked the site and area very much. It is true that by French standards some of the pitches are not very big, but ours was certainly big enough for van, awning and car. Don't forget that if...

Hi JP, It is Firefox 4.01 but I had the problem with the various Versions 3.x too. It is a strange problem - I have just been poking it and prodding it to see exactly where it is. There is no problem in the higher levels of the site - so if you are in the "forum" page it is fine, if you then...

Hi PC Forum tech people, I use Firefoxand there is an annoying problem with the breadcrumbs on the main pages. When I am navigating around the forum and I try to use the breadcrumbs (e.g. "Home » Forums » General" ) to jump back to a higher level I find that the active area is so small, and...

Hi PP, £300 is certainly a plausible quote for a towbar with electrics. But the best way of checking that out is to get several quotes - Leeds must have some competition in this market. Do get a quote from the Audi main dealer - it will make the others seem so much more reasonable. Reputable...

Hi John, There is a fairly lengthy and detailed thread about adding a heated towell rail on the Swift Talk forum. Many people have added towel rails and there are lots of details about how they did it. Try cutting and pasting this URL into your browser -...

Hi John and Nic We haven't got an XC70, but we do have a 2007 XC90 with the same 185PS engine and the geartronic transmission. We tow a 1600 kg Swift single axle van. It is a heavier car so I would expect it to have to work harder than your engine. But, I must say there is no feeling of...
