Morning all! Company is offering me the choice of a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDI (130) Zetec or Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI (115) LX. The Mondeo is the nicer spec, but not too bothered about that- I just want the best towcar. Mond is approx 1400 kerb weight with the Galaxy being 1724. Looking at getting a new...

Is it possible to stay on sites for longer than the 28 days qouted by the CC and the C&CC? We are moving to London for work and it will be two months before we can move into our new home. My wife will stay in our current home in Cambridge and I will go home for weekends, but want to use the van...

Me and my lady Hayley were at the CC site at Crystal Palace at the weekend- both half awake at 6.00am when we heard the boom- then the caravan shook gently with the shockwave. Thought it was local until we turned the freeview on about 40 mins later and saw what had happened. Can't believe that...

I have just taken a new job in London meaning that I will have to move from Cambridgeshire. I really don't want to sell the van but will live in a fairly central part of the city. Can anyone recommend an inner M25 (or close to the M25 generally) storage site?? Thanks Paul

So the BBC news tells us this morning that a congestion charge may be put in place in the peak district to cut down on traffic going there? They are not even sure if they are to offer residents a discount. So I wonder what the charge for an outfit will be? And do you have to pay everyday as you...

Thinking of swapping my Mk5 Golf 2.0 TDI for a new BMW 320d pref with an auto box. Does anyone have any experience of this car? Good or bad, much appreciated!

Paul you are a star- this is just what I am looking for! I will book up and let you know how it goes! Paul (G)

Me and my good lady tour all year, and have decided to try and find the most luxurious site we can- money no object as a treat. Can anyone recommend a year round luxury site? I'm thinking fully serviced pitch, great location, lovely swimming pool, great food and drink nearby you know the sort of...

I know its a different engine, but my 04 Golf 2.0 TDI had exactly the same problem. Had the entire turbo unit replaced under warranty and problem solved.

I know what you mean, got offered

Thanks for your advice. We are not in the van this weekend so are going to use the time to look at a few dealers. I wanted to go the the caravan show but I am out of the country on business so will miss it! Would have been much easier. I like the Coachman too- but I suspect that they may be a...

Virgo- very tidy and particular and a bit fussy- that's me!

Good day Mr Lord, Sir! A man of your standing really shouldn't worry themselves with little things- relax!

It's time for the 04 Ranger 470/4 to get swapped for something a bit nicer! Shortlist so far: Lunar Quasar EB Swift Charisma 535 Sterling Eccles Topaz I know we would not have the fixed bed in the Sterling- but looks a nicely finised product. I guess that it will depend a fair bit on the...

On my 04 Bailey we used to have a drainage issue. I found that if we use the bottom hole in the wastemaster for the waste pipes (the one you would use for emptying) then it's fine. Use any other and the water is very slow to drain. No problem at all now.
