Made do with no tap in bathroom at easter, got a call from the N.wales Branch whilst i was away to be told tap was now in...

    Not happy at all with Swift & ******** "Customer" service

    We didn't break it, It worked Sat, Sun, Mon. Came home for 3 days. Went away again Friday. Connected up, water coming out the top of the tap. And, no, Tuesday, Wed & Thursday were not cold, not even a ground frost and the system was drained, so nothing had frozen.

    SPPEDING CARS AND CARAVANNER"S ON SITE AT BEECHWOOD GRANGE YORK

    I find speeding on site, totally in-excusable. All sites should operate the same system as the site i go to in France every year. If some reports a speeder to the owners, or they spot one, they have their Car & Reg written on a board outside reception/entrance. The board just has "TOO FAST" on...

    Kia Carens

    Absoulutly excellent, in manual form. I tow a 2008 Ace Jubilee Courier (1500kg) with mine, towing limit is 1500kg. Tows great, but you will need to fit either spring assistor inserts of MAD replacement towing springs. I have the later, fantastic.

    VAUXHALL Frontera 2.2 DTi

    I couldn't disagree more. Mine towed like a dream. 1999 2.2 DTi LWB. I think it towed better than my Sedona, Rover 75 Tourer & Galaxy 2.8. The only thing that was a problem, was the temp gauge always went into the red, on even the smallest incline. But after discussion on Frontera forum, was...
