Which gives you details of pubs who offer camping. Some start at just £4.50 a night. Bargain!

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if anyone has ever wild camped in any of the car parks in York? I fancy an evening in york and was considering parking up in the Monks Bar carpark. It has overnight parking and a height restriction well above our tintop, so all looks good.
Any thoughts anyone?

Hello everybody, When we go camping we like to go basic; I mean a field more or less with a portaloo as an added bonus..my problem is that I begrudge spending £20 a night for posh showers and a well maintained lawn that we really don't need. Does anybody know of a good way to discover really cheap s...

Blimey. My filter was just there hanging underneath. If your's isn't, then good luck.

Thanks for all the suggestions. All much appreciated.

I haven't. I'll put it on the list thanks.
And the vacuum pipes seem ok.

Hi all. We have an 1986 1.9 petrol. I'll give you the symptoms first; When driving engine suddenly looses power and then regains. Starts to kangaroo in other words. If I down the throttle all the way while parked up, it will rev up and sometimes backfire. If only half way, its very lumpy. Will stall...

We want to fit 3 point belts to the 3/4 rock and roll bed in the back for our 12 and 14 year olds - thanks for this write up, it's really helpful - does anyone have any other experie...

I bolted everything. I didn't do any welding at all. I can't see those plates coming off in a hurry, especially with lock nuts.

It took me a while, but here's the account of the job. http://goo.gl/MWZIr

Hi everyone, I've written an account of my fitting seatbelts to my van. Click here http://goo.gl/MWZIr Sorry I did it as a document, but it was a lot easier to fit the pictures in how I wanted them.
