Thanks, will do.

Anyone got advice as to where to buy from? I've checked eBay and Halfords - any where better?

availablepitch.com will do it for you, take a look at their site.

And i thought word of mouth was the best recomendation? I disagree with the unbalanced view, forums do generally offer the pros and cons from the people contributing, especially this one.

In my opinion - don't touch a Swift - appalling build quality, poor factory back up - for both 'vans and motorhomes and not really that bothered to sort issues - i've had two brand new and won't touch another one. I'm just about to take a huge loss on a 9 month old conqueror 540 'coz i've had...

Will MER help with water dispersal? When towing through rain a lot of cr*p gets thrown up onto the windows and can be a nightmare when trying to clean off without scratching. I'm looking for something that'll help the water run off but some of the wax type polishes are not to be used on plastic...

Very much misinformed - Gaydon is design and engineering centre for both Jag and LR, NOT Ford. Have you seen the news about the LRX? Designed in Britain by a LR employee...

Is it worth having these fitted? I have an '07 Swift Fairway 540 and on a recent trip to Scotland our kit seemed to get bounced around on some of the less than perfect road surfaces.

Up for my fisrt trip with the 'van to France in 2008, end August, beginning September and would welcome some advice as to where to stay, in and around the Bayeux area. Preferably somewhere with statics for my mate and his family to join us. It would need to be within easy reach of Cherbourg too.

Don't see any of the other so called "gas-guzzler" manufacturers trying to do something. In any case, it's about freedom of choice and us all having a responsibility to do our bit for the planet. Do you object to the bit of your council tax used for funding recycling?

Chrissie, I beg to differ - we had the club book with us and it states there is a 2 night minimum for the season covering our booking.

Just got back from a great 2 weeks touring Scotland - a must see for anyone! Only one annoyance - we booked the C&CC Club site at Moffat on line for our stop overs on the way to and coming back from and had to book 2 nights - minimum for the season, club rules, etc. We then watched several units...

I've got the Broad Lane special version of the 555, a Fairway 540. Everything is fine apart from the external lockers - i've had trouble opening them all!!

I'm off to tour the highlands next week, stopping at Moffat before continuing onto the C&CC site at Rosemarkie, then venturing back to Moffat via Glen Coe - does any one know of any issues i may come across on the way - or routes to avoid?

I did the manouevering course, they start with the basics of hitching up, safety checks, etc (hence the question about checking the wheel nuts) then they go onto forward driving, around ever tightening circles/figure of 8, then reversing in a straight line and around corners. They told us that...
