    Milenco wraith wheel lock

    Same problem with our wheels. Called Milenco and I sent them my lock barrel and they replaced it free of charge, although I had to pay postage to send mine.

    Grey water disposal!!!

    Went to Pentewan once, never again. Somebody literally cut through the lanyards holding the caps on my aqua roll & wastemaster. Reported to staff but they were not interested that someone was walking around the site with a very sharp knife. Had a confrontation with the idiot in the caravan...

    KIA Sorento Self-Levelling Suspension Failure.

    I recently had my self levelling shocks replaced due to one of them leaking, Santa Fe 2016. Didn't have any issue's with them seizing up or towing. I originally got them from Aerosus in Germany, considerably cheaper than the dealers but, although they looked the part, had to be returned as...

    Alko Wheel Lock ??

    I've had two different caravans with Alko locks and both were similar pattern to your drawing. Not sure if the bolt in your photo is Alko or not but if you get the correct number 5 lozenge you may find it will fit anyway, if it fitted the number 16 lozenge. As far as I know you can use any...

    Condensation

    We don't have air con. To be honest we seem to get more trouble with the windows when we open them especially the front three. The caravan is 10 years old now and the front windows have leaked a few times. They are okay now but I'm reluctant to open them in case they don't seal when closed...

    Condensation

    We are in our caravan over Christmas and we also have condensation. We've always had it when we use it in the colder months. No problems in storage. We only open the kitchen window and roof above the cooker when cooking. I tend to just go round with some kitchen roll and mop up the excess...

    Toilet cassette problem

    We have a Thetford but could be similar. The brackets that hold the bowl to the base of the toilet, also allowing it to swivel, became loose. We found that when sitting on the loo the bowl was moving excessively which was breaking the seal to the 'donut' allowing fluids to pass and end up in...

    Change battery on 2016 Santa fe

    Just checked Halfords and it's not actually the same battery, it's not Bosch but Halfords own make. Hopefully I won't get any issues but I've had Bosch for many years and never had a warranty claim so happy to buy online.

    Change battery on 2016 Santa fe

    I had similar concerns but,after talking to the garage I use, I changed it myself and as I said no problems whatsoever. Do you get a decent warranty from Halfords? Tayna is 5 years.

    Change battery on 2016 Santa fe

    Just changed mine on exactly the same car, 66 plate Santa Fe stop/start, auto. Mine was getting a bit sluggish turning over. It's an AGM battery. No problems removing it from car, no radio code, no recoding, everything worked as it should after replacement. I got this one, S5 A13 Bosch AGM...

    Wearing masks in shops

    Hi Prof I am fully aware of what a face shield is used for and I completely agree with you. The point I was trying to make was that some people are wearing just the shield in shops and seem to believe that is adequate. It is farcical when you see waiter's, hairdressers etc.... wearing just a...
