Re: Wheel bearings

"Singing" front end is not from the bearings... its normally from pads not retracting from the disc, most often caused by the rear brakes being over adjusted and not allowing the system to "relax".. Not wanting to hi-jack too much. We just had new brake pads at the back and noti...

Re: Booked our trip to France this morning!!!

I'm probably stating something you already know about but you aren't gas powered are you? They don't allow gas powered vehicles on the trains:- http://www.eurotunnel.com/ukcP3Main/ukcPassengers/ukcTravel/ukpLPG.htm Your cooking gas will be OK though it seems. Don't mean to alarm you but thought I'd ...

MOT

Hi, Our bus MOT expires on the 17.05.09 according to the certificate, which is Sunday. Does this mean at the end of the day ie. midnight on Sunday 17th May? Or does it mean that on Sunday 17th May is has expired and we can't drive it except to an MOT test centre (booked in for Tuesday). I think it's...

Re: Touring Wales

This is a voice from the grave as I have obviously shot myself.

i briefly considered buying practical caravan magazine purely for campsite info. I've since discovered they have a website. That's my dark secret. The website I'm most ashamed of looking at. :oops:

Re: 3 point seatbelt

Just thought, it may not be quite as easy to get small child into cupboard on way back. This may require more vigorous "placing" of child in cupboard.

Re: buying a t25

Hi,

We got our Autohomes Karisma though a website called dubs4sale. Just type that into Google and you should find quite a few in there.

Read all of the buying advice in the wiki and you should be fine.

Good luck. :ok
