My Trafic van (February 2012, nearly converted to Motor Caravan) has trouble in the TomTom Carminat SatNav which shares some of its parts with the radio/CD player. Earlier this year on very hot days the radio stopped working, no obvious (to me) cause but started again on a cooler day after a...

Hope this is the right place for this question. My licence expires in second week of October. I expected to receive a form D46P from DVLA 90 days before expiry but just over a month has passed since that 90 days commenced and no form or reminder has been received. My current paper licence, no...

I am fed up with my broadband from Plusnet and thinking of replacing my BT landline with mobile data. My line had gradually become noisier and slower over time despite Plusnet assuring me noise on the line did not affect broadband. In the first week of December 2019 I started to suffer frequent...

Sorry to bother forum members again but I know that you have, collectively, lots of SatNav and Data via mobile phones knowledge. I am asking for advice about my Nuvi 58LMT in this post and will ask about the Data via mobile in a second post. The two questions are connected. Last September I...

As the heading, I need to update maps soon to keep the free offer going but I have broken my Win 7 laptop that I used to update with. I hoped it would work with Win XP on my trusty old desk top but Garmin Express says not compatible with my OS. I see that there is another piece of software...

Remembered I ought to update my maps on Sunday evening. UK, Ireland and Europe, not all Europe just the closer bits IIRC. Started at 21:00 hrs thinking it would be done by bed time. Download started at about 400KB/s but soon dropped off to about 128KB/s. We are on a long copper wire to the...

This appeared on the satnav screen of my Trafic van yesterday. Can it possibly be true and, if it is, I doubt I can log into TomTom Home without any information – no registration details or passwords? Some months ago a message popped up asking if I wanted free map upgrades. The first time...

Anybody bought one of these instrument displays? Was it worth while? My Trafic has speedometer, tachometer a fuel gauge and various warning lights. The speedo is sometimes hard to read unless the instrument lights are turned on which means the side lights too. I would like a temperature gauge...

We need a rooflight to let hot air out of the van. We have a space for a 400 mm sq ”hole”. Local supplier has Heki Mini, "Fiamma Vent 160 40 X 40 – Crystal" and an unidentified make with clear dome and smooth “aerodynamic profile which appears to be the newer offering by MPK. The Fiamma is £56...

Saw these in Poundland at 2 pounds each and thought worth trying as they have 2 COB LED arrays. Not the most elegant things but tucked under a wall unit or shelf not much of them might be seen. Subjectively two units are bright enough (for me) to illuminate a worktop in a van. Light colour is...

You and Yours, 12: 15 today Friday 29th BBC Radio 4 Just announced as on next: Wild campers versus park rangers at Loch Lomond :danger: Maybe?

Did anybody hear the piece on finding and recovering a stolen camper van? It was on BBC R4: From Our Home Correspondent. Just finished but it should be available here in a day or two: BBC Radio 4 - From Our Home Correspondent - Available now Last item at the end of the programme :D

Change.org is hosting a petition for those who wish to support "personal associate EU citizenship". Is posting a link to that petition permitted? Purely as useful information for members that might be interested without any need for discussion.

Garmin Nuvi 58 LMT bought at 17:00 hrs 28th Oct 2016 from Aldi Walsgrave (N Coventry) for £89.99. They had 10 left then. Looks a fair price as has lifetime full Europe maps and traffic. NB the traffic only works where the service is available from local transmitters. Nuvi doesn’t connect to a...

This looks quite interesting if one fancies a 4x4 campervan on an Isuzu D-max Chassis with rather a lot of rear overhang. Trail-Breaker Bespoke 4x4 Camper Conversion Vehicles. Would adventurous types be happy with this exit angle? To the point: I am confused by the text concerning where one...
