The other day we pulled up to one of our favourite spots where we are usually the only motorhome and as we approached, I was pleased to note that there were no height barriers yet as I suspect there will be soon. However, I was dismayed to note that there were four wagons there already (one an...

I have found an organisation that sells cheap autogas, about 70p per litre, I think, (not as cheap as we who use it only for domestic services and not as auto fuel should be paying but trying to find a range of suppliers for that is a non starter I think) but a lot less than the 99p at most...

Castrol edge 5w30 is it any good for Fiat turbo diesel?

I had an auto electrician look at my system the other day,. Charged me £213 for what he purported to be 1.5 hours work which so far as I can see was very little but pronounced all OK except solar panel not charging. Looked at it myself and my multi-meter gave me 8.5volts (no sun at that point)...

I need to find an LPG station near Plymouth. Anyone know of one which does stock it

What is the best/value starter battery for Ducato 130 multijet 2007. Any ideas please

Does anyone know of a decent parking spot for overnighting in or near Totness. Need it for the night of the 30th May this year and maybe 1st of June. Want to have nice meal and catch the steam train for Dart Valley trip on anniversary on first (55th)

Truma boiler C403-E-18059381 I have a Truma boiler in my MH which has always worked perfectly except for just now. I turned the boiler and heating off when the boiler was full of hot water and it immediately began to drain. My understanding is that it only drained when the water got down to 2...

Does anyone have a good method of cleaning i.e. giving it a good hard scrub to shift the mould, a low profile over cab without getting up to it…..If you can be bothered to read it:- I ask because earlier this year I was cleaning that part of my wagon when my hand that was supporting me slipped...

Start engine and all OK for two seconds then gradually idle speed increases until 1200to1500rpm after about 5 seconds. After about five to eight seconds the battery warning light comes on and battery showing 11.8 volts with the engine going or stopped. Any idea what is wrong? Vehicle 2007...

My wagon is a Fiat Ducato 130 multijet based Mc Louis 670G. I have a Philips CEM3000B/05 car stereo which has never worked completely satisfactorily being plagued by interference. I am told it is a very good DAB system so I can only assume I am doing something wrong. When I removed the old cheap...

I have a (supposedly) 80 watt solar panel flat on the roof where it has been for the past, maybe, 12 years where it has apparently been working fine, though I have not looked at the lights for a good while. After my “woe is me“ session it was disconnected while I did the other work on the...

Had a few days away enjoying the sunshine in Devon and Somerset with the newly fixed electrics. Did not have any problems with it except the toilet flush did not work (did not think to check that as the pump was working) but a bottle got us through. Had it been a longer trip I would probably...

What is the best club to belong to for an inveterate wild camper? I have quit subscribing to caravan and motorhome club and wish to join another with more enlightened views on wild camping.

Oh woe is me. That battery I bought from Wildebus, not that there is anything wrong with the battery, just the fact that I bought it aware that it was too big to fit in and thought I could overcome that problem but did not do it well enough. The seat, under which the battery resides, is...

Best club to belong to for inveterate wild camper. I am dropping out of Caravan and Motorhome club as a result of advice from this forum but can no longer find the notes I made when that advice was posted. I have not stayed on a site for the past 12 years and hardly ever before that so I am...

If two batteries appear to have died but may just have a little bit of life, is it harmful to a new battery to leave an old one in place when installing a new one as one feels there may be a smidgeon of life left in it; or must one remove it to give the new one the best chance of a long life...

Van is getting old, like owner, so can't justify or afford lithium. Running heating (it is the fan that does it) on latest trip (Leicester) has killed both the 110Ah leisure batteries (fairly old anyway) so I need to replace them. I would like, therefore, advice as to the best lead/acid to...

I know it has been done before but it keeps nagging at me. I wish we didn't call it wild camping, I don't think of it as camping at all; any more than I think of living in my house as camping. When you see news of wild camping sites in our national parks it is demeaning to be associated with...
