Now, forgive my ignorance but whats all the fuss about the midges? Is scotland really that bad for them?? No it's not that bad and there are plenty of repelents for them. The west coast is the worst area for them but not until july till oct.Tey can get quite bad first thing in the morning and in th...

If you want vast beaches then Fife is a good bet - we stayed at a lovely site in the hills above St Andrews in the summer with views of the bay across to Leuchars.

I need to replace my front tyres this week - I am guessing I can't have difference on front and back? Woman question now (sorry :oops: ) If you buy winter tyres do you simply lose your summer ones, even if they are good? Or can you get the summer ones put back on later? Thereby having to store them ...

1.9 petrol

We have similar problem - if we stop and don't turn off straight away, but do a bit of manoeuvring the coolant bubbles over. We have to refill about every 400 miles. We have been told the head gasket is on it's way out.

Hi yes, it is a 1.9 petrol engine. Does K seal go around the joint or do we have to put in it somewhere?

We have been having to top the coolant up rather regularly and got our mechanic to check things over. He says there is a leak in the head gasket and it will go sometimes soon. The engine has done 103K miles. We have been told that the head gasket will be virtually impossible to remove without breaki...

Not a lot in Norfolk :lol: which is why we want to move 'up North'. But I do a lot of walking hols and train and take kids on Duke of Edinburgh expeditions so I do speak with some knowledge of what is required - both in equipment and experience. Had a funny moment last week in the Lakes - some bloke...
