Anybody get any thing new/useful caravan related? SWMBO bought me a new set of saucepans for van!!!!!

Sorry about lines, had strikethrough activated!! (Corrected by moderators)

I have one from Sainsburys that is a Travelex one. I didn't pay for ATM withdrawals last year, but have not checked this years terms and conditions. The only bad thing is they don't work on the French Autoroute or any other unattended machine as they are not Chip & Pin. All the retail outlets...

Try www.autogasshop.co.uk, they sell a European reference Book. I have never had any trouble finding a station, as you tour around you will just come across them. Do not forget you need different adaptors for France, Spain, Switzerland etc!! UK ones DO NOT fit!!! Good Touring.

I do not like it either, much prefer the old version, but then I am "old"!!

To make life easier, and the connector more waterproof, I used this connector http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/13-Pin-Conversion-Plug-Caravans-2-Cables-/160715698382?pt=UK_Trailers_Transporters_Parts&hash=item256b66f0ce which is really easy to fit, and comes with wiring details. My caravans grey cable...

As stated above, are you using the system set up page to align disk. This page is available, regardless of dish position. I presume the sky box you are using is servicable? Unless you have got sky at home, try substituting your box for a friends known servicable box. My used sky box and 60cm...

You get the lower rate paid to you and the higher rate paid to motability. If there is anything at all wrong with the car it goes back to the dealer, all covered by manufacturers warranty. As the car comes to you with vehicle excise license,insurance, servicing etc all paid for, I think it is a...

Came back earlier this year from approx 2500 mile trip around europe with multiple stops. The "noise" started on hitching up in Calais for trip home. Even though I clean ball and pads every time I hitch up, I still got the noise. We stopped when we came off Eurotunnel and cleaned again, but to...

Thanks very much for the info, have sent off for the Tourist Office brochures.As you say, I was told it was a bit industrial by several people. The Amiens town website lists lots of attractions, quite a few indoors, which is good, as it is almost certain to rain as we are going Whitsun Week!!

Any suggestions for things to do in area? Going for Bank Holiday week, cheaper with camping cheques and cheap eurotunnel booking, than a site in the West Country, which was full,as appear to be most CC & C&CC sites. Hopefully the weather will be nice for once on a B/H!!!

Forget the restaurant,very expensive, use Mad Cat Pub in Pidley, less than half the price and better food. No connection, just live locally and use it.

Just as Rob-T said they appeared to be glazed over. scraped off and cleaned again with brake cleaner.Quick 5 mile drive around the block and all was well except for the puncture courtesy of a 4 inch nail!!! Next stop local tyre dealer. Peter

And mine! Peter

Thanks a lot, will give that a try, I didn't think they could have worn out that quickly. Will report back wwhen done. Peter
