Not quite the same but I've fitted a Alko wheel carrier to my Ranger 550/6 - I just asked my dealer for the correct type and then went home and fitted it is about an hour, the holes were already in place, it was just a case of assembling the frame sliding it in place and securing it I found no...

Just wondered if anyone uses one of use a VW Touran, since I am wondering what are they like for day to day use and whilst towing? I need to chance my car in the very near future since my daughter has an allergic reaction to the leather seats in my current car, and I've been offered £4k off a...

Tried any local locksmiths?

We always try to get hardstanding pitches were possible and still use the groundsheet, we find that the groundsheet just helps keep the dust etc out of the van

From experience everyone my cars (personal and also the fleet cars I run at work) have gone into main dealers for servicing and there has nearly always been a software update or small recall work that needs to be done (free of charge under warrenty), on the flip side local VAT registered garages...

About 24 months ago, I looked into a Nissan double cab Pick Up's as a company car and thought about have the back enclosed making it look like a bit like a Pathfinder - great for the family weekends etc and also a cheaper option to buy and pay tax on. Our fleet manger checked these cars out as...

Looking at the service recepits, the brake pads (Front & Rear) on my XC90 D5 lasted just under two years and covered 25k miles before having to be changed, the brake discs were still all okay.

I'm thinking of getting an Seat Altea XL, my local dealer has a good deal on a 1.9 TDi Stylance with a DSG box at present, has anyone any experience of towing with an Altea XL? Regards Bill

Not 100% convinced about these sightings and stories that they seem to make endless documentaries about, but at the same time I think, that given the size of the universe surely we can not be the only planet with life. Regards, Bill

Geist, Whilst handing the Caravan back could be a future option, if the caravan is NOT kept in lines with the T&C's of your finance agreement, handing the caravan back may well not be an option.- therefore think carefully about not having the service done. The cars that I handed back all had...

Christopher, You are best off getting legal advice and if the caravan is under finance get the finance company involved, I've a similar problem on a 2006 model van that use only used for four weekends during 2006. During its first service in Jan 07 they found cracks in the front panel. At first...

Makes me laught to myself about hear about people like Greenpeace, I always wonder if we had no fuels etc how would they get around to protest? its takes a long time to walk, cycle or swim somewhere compared to using the car, plane or a boat.

Geist, I've handed back three cars to the finance company over the years where they have been hard to sell or the price I'm likely to get was less than the value to hand the car back, am I not alone I know a few people that have also done this. But in every case my credit rating has never been...
