SOD it. Kitchen tap en panne (broken)
Luckily it is a reich unit and there is a camping car accessory shop 25 miles away.
Folding mixer tap with microswitch need to make sure I get the right one (or is it the left one ?)
Now to look for the credit card

Should be. I have replaced it before !!! On!y 5 years ago.
The plastic innards from the spout to the mixer unit has sheared off !
Access via the cupboard under the sink unit is Ok.
So turn the water pump off Drain / catch the water from the feed pipes and disconnect the relay.

Unmount the. Old mixer unit the reverse....
 
The tap has been changed.
Starting at Saint Saire
1 a 25 Mile drive to Halloy. Good shop but they did not have the correct tap !
2 15 miles to a big dealer in Francastel...
They had the tap and also spent up to 1 hour replacing the old adding some piping etc so it connected. Reconnected the microswitch and checked.
Not too difficult but minor parts needed. Total price 142 € Not cheap but happy to get it sorted both well and quickly.
3 25 miles to Gournay en Bray for food and diesel at Intermarche.. They did not accept either my starling card which functions in Euros or my Jaja card !!!!
Luckily we had cash but only just.
Lunch. Then 85 miles to Verneuil for our overnight
So 150 miles all told

So a question
Anyone purchased fuel in FRANCE using starling debit card.
.any info much appreciated. Thanks
Eg LeClerk or Super U
 
I can only speak about my usage earlier in the year. We were in France and Spain from late April to mid June. Like you I have a Starling euro account and notched up about €4000 in that period. Mostly fuel and shopping, a substantial majority in all of the major supermarkets including Intermarche which gives some good discounts if you get one of their loyalty cards. I had no refusals of the card.

I also have a Jaja credit card which I had not used since they took over from my Post Office credit card. The negative reviews prompted me to just sit on the card until things settled. As you know they offered a £15 credit to your account if the card was used during a recent period. I took the bait and the card worked seamlessly, I had some doubts since most of the use was in France and Spain. Again no refusals and the £15 credit was made to my account as promised.

We have used Starling sofar mainly in Aldi
Previously I used Po card now jaja in many countries.
Seemingly a rogue kiosk

Never any problems at any Kiosk but pay at pump don't work as they take a deposit at the pump which they can't pay back to those cards or so I was told several yrs ago so have only used attended stations ever since
 
At pay at the pump unmanned stations I get an instant notification of retention of funds against purchase on my Starling debit card in France and Spain. This is normally amended to the actual amount within 15 minutes.
