Found this on Google search Now even Civilians are using Speed Trap Guns Date: 30-Nov-04 Various parts of the UK have now initiated pilot schemes in which civilian volunteers have been trained to use "speed guns". One such area to pilot the scheme is a Scottish village in East Dunbartonshire...

A friend of mine contacted SHB who offer nationwide service. He hired short wheel base landrover defender but may have other options. Good luck

I often drive past Briarfields with work. First impression is it has lots of travellers, all year round. Certainly not somewhere I would stay. Better sites in the area include: C&CC site at Winchcombe, CC site at Cheltenham Racecourse or Tewkesbury Abbey. Out of them all Winchcombe is my...

If I were you I would call in to your nearest camping and caravanning or caravan club site, explain the situation and I am sure they would gladly help you get set up on site. Before your first trip you will need to make sure you have a few basic essentials like electricity lead, clean and waste...

Last year I picked up a large ex French army kit bag at army surplus. Really strong tent canvass material with carry straps. Easy to handle and brush clean. Cost me a tenner.

I beleive there are many areas trying out the new 6 term year. Certainly Gloucestershire is.

Never level with steadies! They are just that - steadies. The basic principle is level across the axle first, then front to back. I reverse onto pitch, check out the level across the van and then, before unhitching, if needed reverse lowest wheel of van onto ramp. Then chock it. Then unhitch...

I have spent the last 2 years towing a 550/6 ranger with a Sharan (same as Galaxy) and had never towed before. As a family car Glaxy is great and swallows family and luggage easily. Getting bikes on roof can be tricky so given up on that. As for perfoemance, used to return approx 28-30 mog...

I looked at plenty of fixed bed vans when looking to upgrade form my Bailey Ranger 550/6. For examply the new Pageant Bretagne. Admittedly many are twin axle vans. Fleetwood also do a van with two fixed single beds which I likes the look off for giving children their own permanent space. With...

The same happened to me in the past with front wheel drive car. In the end I used to reverse as far as I could with wheels on tarmac, unhitch and push onto pitch. Appreciate not everyone can do this.Same routine for leaving. Now I have a 4x4 so not such a problem but as any good off road driver...

Friend of mine had exactly the same with brand new Passat estate. Dealer said it was normal and clutch wearing in! Now changed car. It is not exactly asking a lot to reverse a caravan up a small incline (my friends used to smoke reversing up a speed buno outside his house.) Not seen any mention...

It can be annoying and also if the coupling is compressed it can make a mess of your bumper if you have not got a guard. I tend to reverse on to pitch, then pull forard a few inches to extend coupling but not auite all the way. The hardest bit is winding down the jockey wheel at the same time as...
