Agreed, Ray - the way forward is to go for the driver and if he has a policy, he may be able to pass the claim to the insurance company to deal with (and they may well come back on him to recover its costs as youi've indicated in your second para.). In the absence of a policy, the claim can be...

VOSA has (or should have) current keeper details for vehicles. Vehicle manufacturers may have records of original purchasers, but probably nothing reliable beyond that. Not the manufacturers' fault as there is no legal requirement for new owners to advise the manufacturers of vehicle acquisition.

Sorry to hear about the injury to your granddaughter, Smiley and I'm pleased that she is recovering. Just to pick up on Surfer's comment, I think a slightly different approach would be more effective - unless I am much mistaken, you do not 'lodge a claim against the insurance company', you claim...

Thanks chaps - looks like I'll need to do a bit of saving up!

The rollers on my Reich mover have lost their grit (and, so, their grip!). It looks as though Reich realised grit surfacing was not good and have changed to a grooved aluminium type, which are direct replacements for the gritted kind - but very expensive. I have seen advertised a kit called...

Sir Roger FFS is one of nature's gentlemen. Many thanks and good to meet you and your wife - hope you enjoy the vino! First attempt at assembly tomorrow ... wish me luck! Kindest regards - Bob

I'd be interested in any replies too, Steve, as both of these are on our shortlist for the summer. Leaning slightly towards Budemeadows at the moment, but not quite sure why .....

For anyone else who picks up on the title of this thread, try looking at www.ukcanals.net - there is a whole section on canalside caravan sites.

So, for this non-mechanically minded caravanner, can you explain in simple terms what a DPF is, what it does and what is to be gained by removing it, please?

I agree with all of the above, but unless you tell the site owners why you are walking, they'll just carry on regardless. Unfortunately, firms like EasyJet have shown that you can get away with stripping out basic elements of a service and charging for them as 'extras', provided what you are...
