  5. Fiat Ducato intermittent starting problem

    My Fiat Ducato based campervan has had intermittent starting problems for years now. The starter motor turns the engine over fine but it sometimes just won't start however many times you try! There seems to be no pattern to these problems. Sometimes it won't start from cold, other times it won't...

  7. Seized rear brakes

    Since the start of April my Ducato van conversion has been un-taxed on my off road parking area. I always leave it in gear with the handbrake off. Every couple of weeks I've been starting it up and moving it around a bit - mainly to avoid miss-shaping my nice new Michelin all season tyres...
  8. Michelin Agilis Cross Climate Tyres

    I'm thinking of getting a set of these for my Ducato Panel Van Conversion. Does anyone have or have had these? Are they good in snowy or icy conditions? How about summer use in the wet? What about the effect on fuel consumption? They are rated A for wet grip and C for fuel economy so they should...
  9. Terrestrial TV in France

    Until recently I had a satellite dish on my van but after ten years use it kept breaking down so I scrapped it and I have a terrestrial aerial in its place. I have an equally old Avtex tv whose tuner can only receive SD transmissions. To come to the point, I have just arrived in France today and...
  10. Seen at Treviso near Venice today

    Interesting looking British registered van. Obviously Mercedes based. The work of Mr Hymer? The only clue is the logo on the back - who is RMB?
  11. Seen at Lake Garda today

    No wonder some people call them motorcaravans!
  12. VW Grand California

    This looks like a nice van: YouTube Only downside I can see is that the driver's seat doesn't appear to swivel. The children's bed and extra high roof is an optional extra. Basic price of 55,000 euros in Germany probably more when it goes on sale here.
  13. Balkans Motorhome Insurance

    I am planning a trip down the eastern shore of the Adriatic but have run into an insurance problem. Slovenia and Croatia are both in the EU and are covered by my AIB brokered insurance. Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania however are not covered. I phoned AIB to see if they could issue...

  15. Specialist Camper Sat Nav

    I'm thinking of buying a "specialist" sat nav - that's to say one which you can enter the length, width, height and weight of your vehicle into and then hopefully be routed appropriately avoiding too narrow streets, too low or weak bridges etc. I am considering the following models: Camper...
  16. CU Dijon

    Last month we parked at CU Dijon: Google Maps As we were settling down for the night we were approached by a middle aged woman dog walker who informed us that this was a very dangerous place frequented by drug addicts who were likely to set our vehicle on fire! We didn't know what to make of...
  17. Maintenance while van not in use

    I apologise for starting this thread as I'm sure all the information I'm looking for is somewhere on this website but I can't seem to find it. I typically use my van for quite long trips - over two months at a time. Then the van tends to be sitting around outside the house for two or three...

  19. Mouse/Mice in Van

    I know there has been a thread on this topic before but it perhaps deserves another airing. Last May I discovered that a mouse had got into our van (Fiat Ducato Adria Twin PVC) and chewed up the lipseal washer on the toilet!! On that occasion I had a theory as to how it got in - there was a...
