    Removing plastic taste

    Last season I bought the kit to use mains water supply, complete with blue, drinking quality hose. Each time I have used it I have noticed a "plastic" taste to the water, even when used to make coffee. I have tried leaving water treated with Milton in it for a couple of days, but with no...

    Vuplex plastic cleaner

    Has anyone any experience with this product for cleaning and scratch "removal" on plastic caravan windows? Have just watched a video clip and it does seem impressive!

    Southport C.C.

    Also recently visited Southport site. Agree with Sedo's comments. No problem with bunnies, but did notice a couple of notices warning about bike thefts and advising care with securing them. :( There are a couple of public paths across the site so easy access and escape! Shame as it is a good...

    Thetford C250 cassette problem

    Thanks Sprocket. Had seen this video. Unfortunately mine is a latter model cassette and looks different on top. The slides that JW removes are integral on mine. Think it may be more complex on this type........unfortunately!

    Cracked shower wall

    I had a similar problem on a Coachman VIP. Fortunately the walls were flat and square. Just still under warranty so was fixed by Coachman's supplier at my home. Simply "glued" a new sheet on top of the cracked one. Material used is incredibly thin, and it may be flexed around the corner...

    Thetford C250 cassette problem

    Over the last couple of outings I have noticed that there is a leakage problem with our toilet cassette. When I remove it, the recess in the housing is filling with waste water. This appears to be coming from the slide assembly on top of the cassette. Does this sound like a new lip seal is...

    Pneumatic tyre on jockey wheel

    Thanks everyone for your help and advice. I have gone ahead and bought a new jockey wheel assembly with pneumatic tyre. It has been delivered and I fitted it yesterday (very easy job) and so now I will see how I get on with it. Again, thanks for everyone's help.

    Pneumatic tyre on jockey wheel

    I am considering fitting a new jockey wheel assembly with pneumatic tyre to my Lunar Clubman. The jockey wheel fits inside the chassis, with the tyre under the A frame cover. Has anyone done this mod and were there any issues? Hoping that larger tyre will not dig into hard standings, but don't...

    Best route from Bunree to Kinlochewe

    I will be travelling from Bunree (Onich) up to Kinlochewe (Achnasheen) later this month. I was considering going up the A82 to Inverness, then turning east to reach A832, but wondered about turning off at Drumnadrochit and taking the A833 then A862 joining A832 at Muir of Ord. There appears to...

    Headlamp deflectors for Kia Sorrento (mk 1)

    I'm planning on taking my '57 Sorrento over to France for holidays, and wondered how to fit deflectors / converters onto headlights. As it has been such a popular towcar, thought someone may be able to assist. Thanks.

    Kojack KJ200 scissor hydraulic jack

    I bought one of these jacks (used) last summer and have used it to lift the caravan. When I opened the carry case just before Xmas, there was a small pool of oil in the bottom. When I tried to used the jack, it extended, but would not lift the caravan. I have conntacted Purple Line, the...

    4w Solar Panel

    Does anyone use one of the fold-up, 4w solar panels in the front window of their caravan to keep the battery charged through winter? The front of my caravan points due south, so thought a small panel on the chest of drawers in the front window could be effective. At the moment I connect the...
