    Clay Bar detailing?

    I find liquid decontamination products quicker to use. Gyeon Q2M Iron is excellent for inorganic contaminants. I'm not too sure about using the likes of a tar remover on a caravan, however, as it may affect seals. Gyeon also do a clay bar (Gyeon Q2M Clay), which is resistant to chemicals. That...

    Caravan wheels came off

    Get a solicitor, preferably one specialising in this type of case (not all solicitors are the same). Keyboard-solicitors on the internet will give you all sorts of advice - there's no guarantee any of it will be correct.

    Wildcamping In Ireland

    The only security issue I had this weekend was stopping this crowd from licking the caravan. It sounded like someone was rubbing sandpaper to the outside.

    Castleward Caravan Park Northern Ireland

    Sounds like a nice trip. I must remember that site the next time I'm going up that direction.

    Wildcamping In Ireland

    I've never had a problem with security. I usually stay in very rural places, which keeps the yobos away. Car parks within a few miles of a town sometimes attract boy racers, but they're mostly just loud and annoying.

    RM4270 Fridge problem

    It's probably the gas line that's holding it. Also, sometimes, there's a slight lip on the floor that stops the fridge sliding forward. Try to lift the front a few millimetres.

    Have you tried contacting someone that does caravan repairs? They'd probably have rolls of it, and may be willing to sell you two metres of it.

    Cruise or right boot?

    I'm not so sure about that. I haven't checked it myself, but my brother said the cruise control on my father's Mercedes C-class is the same. I asked him if it revs when you clutch, but he said it doesn't. You clutch, change gear and when you release the clutch, it continues at the same speed.

    Cruise or right boot?

    Use the cruise control - you'll find the drive far more enjoyable. If you spend the whole drive watching your speed, you'll probably be more efficient than cruise control but realistically, when you're talking, enjoying the view etc, your speed will drift up and down, which is less efficient. I...

    Can I tow my caravan with this car?

    The maximum towing capacity of your car, as specified by the manufacturer, is a legal limit. This applies to anything you'll tow. The 85% guideline is just that, a guideline. It has no legal standing, but it's highly recommended to adhere to it. It refers specifically to caravans because, as...

    No spark in cooker, water heater or heater

    I know your post was well intended, but I'm not long on the forum and from what I've seen there's too much "technical expanding" going on. "If you want to teach a man nothing, show him everything" seems to apply. A lot of people are asking simple questions and the simple answer they're looking...

    No spark in cooker, water heater or heater

    At what point did I suggest connecting the mains supply to the 12V supply? By "common earth" I was referring to the ground wires of all three appliances joining together at some point.
