Hi again. Sim cards were mentioned somewhere. I've done tons of research, thinking it'd be cheaper to pop a french sim in my phone fo data, but it doesnt look very easy or cheap. I'm going to investigate Three, who worked out ok for Italy a while back, then give up. Glad to hear France Passion went ...

Happy to do contacts, although I'd not be much use beyond the very basics. The only thing is I don't know what mobile no. i'll be on as I'm considering getting a French or international sim card for the trip. Any of you doing France Passion on the waydown or back? Or, got any recommendations from pr...

Wow, we'll be a bit further south at Montelivet. Off in a couple of weeks too, once shool's out! Have France Passion and Aires guide and all good to go. Van just serviced, just mulling over essential spare parts to take and which euro breakdown cover to get. The dull stuff! Dreaming of good cheese a...

A keen eye sir, thanks. There always seems to be something in that darn small print! This breakdown cover search is giving me a headache. Might just get the best balance (coverage vs price) and source a haulage company separately just in case repatriation is needed. More time on the bloody computer ...

I know this one's gone dead now but I read it with interest as I'm about to go to Europe and was a bit shocked about the RAC, current UK breakdown recovery provider, quoting me £169 for a mere three weeks cover in France - the repatriation clause is the bad one others have referred to. After some ro...

I've no experience of C&CC sites abroad and their own sites in the UK are over-regimented but with good facilities, in my opinion - we've still had a good time on them though, best so far is the one at Graffham on south coast. However, their Certificated Sites are very different, much more laid ...

Tally, whereabouts are you? In case you're near London I ended up using these, this link has some pics http://www.quickfitsbs.com/gallery_vw.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As far as jobs go, the agency suggestion is a good one. Also, and I hope this doesn't annoy anyone from outside London, yes, the economy is pretty messed up but there are always more job opportunities in and around London, especially in IT, of course it depends on what you do in IT. There's also a s...

I went through this when I got my van last year, my kids are 6 and 3 now. The van had lapbelts in already but we wanted full seat belts and just paid to get the extra anchor points fitted as the eldest was in a booster seat raher than full child seat, think about longevity! The passenger side is eas...

If you go to borough market and like your real beer check out The Rake, it's tiny but has excellent beer, and lager, from a load of micro breweries.

I'd second the Debden option, haven't been there (others I know have - it can be a bit noisy apparently) but the tube is the central line so goes straight into town (Liverpool St for trendy Shoreditch or Brick Lane) or on into Tottenham Court Rd/Oxford Circus. One thing though - there are a lot of w...

Cheers folks, much appreciated.

Hi, I'm stuck on paint codes. I want to get as close to the original vw colours as possible - the medium blue H5G and pastel white 90D but I can't find the equivalent ral or bs codes for them anywhere on the net. I've looked at the rustoleum colour chart and can't quite nail the colours. Anyone done...

I think the number can differ. Mine are replacements and go like this: 2 at the front covering windscreen and side windows - join in the middle 2 covering right and left middle windows 2 covering right and left rear windows 1 covering rear window So 7 in total However, my original autosleeper ones h...

Okay, the curtains didn't stay on as well as I hoped. I poked around the Silent Gliss website. I have the 1025 rail and the 3532 gliders. See http://www.silentgliss.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the rail is fittef to the side of the van's inner trim so the silent gli...
