  1. Repatriation to UK

    4 seats but at 3.5T perhaps 3 people may be carried if water ditched.
  2. Repatriation to UK

    Feedback… If necessary MH insurer Confort/Aviva will happily repatriate us and the van, although vague about whether it may count as a claim for NCB. Nationwide breakdown (AA) only if insurers don’t cover it…maybe, at their discretion. NW travel insurance will gladly repatriate us and will...
  3. Repatriation to UK

    Now plastered from wrist to half way up upper arm. ‘Do not attempt to drive’! However as healing process will have already started Doc reckons that subject to x-ray and review in 10 days it may be able to come off in 3 weeks which would just give us a week to drive to Calais for our booked...
  4. Repatriation to UK

    I’m sat waiting again in A&E in Bergerac. Lower right arm broken (hairline) in two places…apparently I’ve been driving for three weeks like this…no wonder it was sore! They say they want to plaster or immobilise it. Depending on how they do it I may not be able to drive. Not enough Schengen time...
  5. Fiat Smart Alternator problems

    Interesting Bill. I had the same fridge problem for the first year, but having failed to remedy it with various tweaks the dealer replaced the whole fridge under the manufacture warranty, and it’s been excellent ever since. I note that the Phantom battery chart always gives a lower reading than...
  6. Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    I first encountered them in Algeria in the late ‘70s. Each one had an impressive display of dissembled rusty exhaust systems.
  7. Fiat Smart Alternator problems

    My problem of non-starting turned out to have nothing to do with the smart alternator. The issue was the Phantom immobiliser, on a whim I called Phantom and they did a remote reset after which it was ok. However it happened again this year. I spoke to them. They say what appears to be happening...
  8. Fife Update from Robbie Blythe.

    Had a nice few days in January pottering up the coast
  9. Not a MH but rather neat.

    New Zealand motorhome, off for the weekend
  10. What a hoot

    What lead is that?
  11. Stolen motorhome

    Tell the police they are threatening to attack you with a weapon…that might gee them up a bit.
  12. From Scotland to England, over Coldstream Bridge.

    So, if you buy your booze online from an English seller to be delivered to a Scottish address what happens to the tax? Unlike from EU there’s no customs border for it to cross?
  13. Unoccupied House Insurance

    Has anyone insured with M&S? Just got a quote for £280 with Aviva including buildings and accidental cover, contents, protected NCD and legal. And 90 days unoccupation with no requirement for draining pipes, inspection or suchlike. Even rang them to double check, compared with the other quotes...
  14. Unoccupied House Insurance

    Contacted NFU, won’t do over 60 day unoccupation
  15. Unoccupied House Insurance

    Got a couple of quotes through AIB. One with RSA for £355, but you are effectively uninsured for theft and water damage after 60 days. And one from Arkel, £600 who don’t stipulate any reduction of cover or inspection requirements, and only require notifying of travel dates. The first company...
  16. Unoccupied House Insurance

    C&MC premium has rocketed from £328 to £803 this year with 90days unoccupied! C&CC want £645 with 180 days, the search continues …
  17. Unoccupied House Insurance

    What restrictions or requirements for inspection etc did CETA come back with? It seems C&CC require internal inspection every 14 days, can’t find any reference in C&MC small print. Tricky for us with no relatives nearby. .
  18. Gas usage over one night away.

    6m RT Pegaso. Just done a month round Scotland, it’s been rather cool but averaged about 3L gas per day for heating, fridge and cooking. 17C daytime, 9C at night.
  19. Basenthwaite lake (Lake District)

    Hey Bill, when were you there? I tried to book in Thursday and they said it was closed.
  20. North Berwick

    Thanks Bill, I saw those, but with East Lothian cracking down on car parks (it belongs to council not the club) I thought I’d ask in case someone had been more recently.
