Hi Mr Bell, I have recently traded my 63 Reg Volvo XC60 D4 AWD SE Lux Nav Geartronic for a new Kia Sorento. In all honesty, it does not need self levelling suspension. The standard suspension is stiff enough, if you stick with the Volvo maximum noseweight. The 2.4 D4 was perfectly adequate for...

I tried to do a U turn there, but there were lorries parked in the way. Carried on for about a mile to the roundabout. As Jaydug said, don't attempt to go up Dean Lane, and carry on using the recommended CC stated route.

John, My battery box has a seal on the division between the battery and electric hook-up compartments. I think the battery compartment ventilates at the bottom, although hydrogen being lighter than air, will accumulate at the top of the compartment. I'm guessing there must be ventilation at...

Thanks Sprocket, That jack looks ideal!! I have watch a youtube video and think I will get one. Thankfully no seals to perish or oil to leak. David

The Kojack jacks are dangerous, mine collapsed on it's first use. I contacted Purpleline, whose had the cheek to suggest I buy a seal kit for £10. The jack went to the local recycle yard. The brackets are brilliant, but I need to find a jack that can utilise them? Any ideas guys?

Big, bold and a front that looks like a Donny Osmond smile. I think Dodge are pulling out of the UK? David

This is disappointing news, we have been using Daleacres since 1988 and have always come away happy. In the last few years we were a little bit peeved when they increased the number of pitches, but knew that needs must. We have accidently turned up early a couple of times over the years, when we...

The gearing in 1st and 2nd gear caused clutch slip on the Peugeot 4007 (link below Honest John). As the mechanics are the same for the Citroen C-Crosser and the Mitsubishi Outlander, the problem exists across all three marques. David...

Hi Petera, Last time we went to Switzerland by road, we bought the vignettes at the border. You can buy them at petrol stations before the border if you wish. I believe you can get them online now, so that may be a good option for you? David

Below is an extract of a post that I made on another forum, this explains the situation as it is at present. We were there a couple of weeks ago and can report some good news. While we were there the Longleat management had a meeting with the CC site wardens. The result of the meeting is that...

I would not advise getting a Kojack, mine collapsed on me (not me!!) when the seals failed. I have since replaced the seals from some I found at work. I have had it losing oil in it's storage box. This is an example of the usual chinese junk (not the nautical variety) that we are daily getting...

One thing they got rid of was that forced slavery called "Bob a Job" week. I remember being given some really gruesome tasks for a shilling!!

It is if a motor mover is fitted!!

Tell John I was a chef also, never made it to being a PO or Killick, bit of a rebel. I left in 76 and became an operator in power stations. I have not touched a "Bonzer" or "Hobart" since then and only cook when forced to. I remember the Superb from my time in, but the Tireless had not been born.

We had a similar experience with our kids as they became closer to being 18 year olds. It was the catalyst for us buying a 2 berth and we have not looked back since. They are now parents themselves, so we have got a 4 berth so we can get some enjoyment from our grandchildren.
