    charger

    Stephen, Don't know if this will help but last year our charger failed (we thought) on our 2007 Senator. In our case the charger was located within the rcd/fuse box and was accessed by taking off the outer plastic box. This revealed that the charger plug had come out and simply replugging cured...

    Ref Moon pub at Mordiford, Was at Lucksall 2 weeks ago and had Sunday lunch at the Moon. Excellent value for money! Wish we had a place like this near where we live.

    Suggestions please - urgent

    Lutz You havn't said where you prefer to go but if your fancy should turn to North Norfolk can I put in a good word for Fakenham Racecourse. You should be OK to find a pitch here at such a late stage. We stayed a few days here last year and were really pleased with this choice. You are in close...

    Trewethett Farm CC site , Tintagel, Cornwall

    Jo-Anne There about 3 yrs ago. One thing you have to know is that there's only about half a dozen sought after pitches. Arrive wrong time and you find yourself at back of a large pitching field some way from facillities views etc. We travelled from another Cornish site and to comply with the...

    Norfolk Coast

    Richard, you will find it difficult to get a pitch at Cromer unless you are lucky with a cancellation but Incleborough Fields would be more likely as its much bigger.

    Jobsworth Wardens

    John, I have no problem with this rule so long as it is observed at all cc sites. My experience over many years is that whilst it is strictly observed at some sites eg Chatsworth/Houghton Mill to name just 2 on others it is not. I remember waiting in a layby to let time elapse before entering...

    Blinds up or down?

    Stephena, When in storage try this solution recommended to me by a mobile service engineer. Visit DIY supplier like Wickes and buy a roll of their reflective central heating radiator lining. This is pretty stiff and can be cut up into individual window sizes but make these a bit oversize then...

    Selling privately

    Klarky, Even after a cheque is cleared into your account your bank can still come back and say the cheque is a dud. I would personally only take cash and all deals I have done have been this way. Ref an earlier post re banknotes, there is a useful web site which explains in detail what to look...

    Tewksbury CC site

    Trucker, Your'e just up the road from Symonds Yat on the Wye. Go up to Yat rock for a super view across the Wye valley. If you go Sat/Sun the RSPB will be there with their telescopes set up to view the nesting pair of peregrin falcons currently sitting on a clutch of eggs 2 weeks ago when we...

    Where does one sell awnings etc

    Disadvantage with preloved is you have to set a selling price yourself and might not know what the item would fetch. I advertised my 4 year old awning with CC sales site for

However I did purchase a bottle of bobby dazzler earlier this year and after getting the van out of storage to prepare for our first trip couple weeks ago I washed it with Fenwicks cleaner and then splashed it with the aforementioned. Very impressed in...

    Dent - To repair or not to repair.

    John, Let them do the work in the expectation of satisfactory repair. I damaged the door of my last van, at least some clever b*****r did who ran up unsolicited to help us pitch the awning and the awning pole fell onto my door. Anyway, I removed it and ran it up to the dealer whose visiting...
