we stayed at Cofton

Just thought I would give another point of view. We bought our 52 Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 130 estate, about 18 months old with 15k on it. It has now done 138k and has had very little go wrong. It has had one set of front discs, and one set of pads all round. Rear box on exhaust. New aircon radiator...

I spoke to Powrwheel the other day, and mentioned price match, they said they only do like for like, so you can only price match something with a 5 year warranty, she then told me they could do heavy duty single axle for

OT - are there any good sites in Dawlish? All I have heard is bad news, last year we stayed at one around a mile from Dawlish Warren, with an outdoor pool and fishing lake, but over the years it has got bigger but little sign of the facilities getting bigger, shant be going back!

Could it be a Rally of caravans?

Hmm interesting comment about warranty, not really applicable as it is 4 years old. But out of interest why would that be the case?

Well, just collected our van using the Sprinter and it was a dream to tow, no problems at all, in fact we travelled from the South Coast up to the M4 along the A350, lots of hills and very twisty in places. We have bought a nose gauge, and will check once we have worked out what we are going to...

Has anyone used a GPS tracker for their caravan? I have used GPS trackers where you can recover the tracker and see where it has been, but there is another type, not the insurance ones with large annual premiums, but something like a Snooper Tracker, around

I have a couple of gas bottles, and several 10kg weights, might throw them in the van for "justin". I guess I will need a noseweight gauge, so I can pick one up tomorrow. I have swapped the towball for an Alko? one, numberplates will be supplied by dealer, need to remember paperwork. Is there...

Ok so it would be fairly safe to go to 70kg nose weight, so would we need to take something with us to add, I do have a couple of old gas bottles, supagas with a strange regulator fitting, but I guess they would do for ballast. Do you think I would need more?

I have already looked and there is nothing visible. It is a 53 reg, so not THAT old. I have not got a handbook for the van, so I cannot check there either!

Hi, we are new to caravanning, and have just bought a Bailey Pageant Champagne. We are going to collect it this Saturday, some 90 miles away and I am slightly worried about the nose weight. We are unable to sort out a towbar for our Mondeo Estate in time, although I am assured once sorted it...
