Hmmmmm, over the last two years I've battled with spiders, I'm adverse to killing anything so have endured them as they only usually build the odd cobb Web and do catch the odd mosquito and fly, but over the past few months the common garden spider has been swapped out by these ginormous False...

Morning all, after our trip down to the South of France recently we lost our satellite signal about half way down, not the end of the world but really annoying as we lost not only Sky, freesat but also the radio stations, luckily we had arranged Smarty sims for our phones before we left so could...

As some might be aware I'm touring France at the moment actually in South of France now. Although the gas We set off with is still plenty and will probably last us till we get home, started with about 16ltrs and have only used about a quarter of that in two weeks so far, its absolutely...

Hey ho, Great weekend this weekend at Brecon in Wales lovely sunshine. Reversed off the pitch at home time and drove the fifty odd miles back home went to put it into reverse to park it up on the back drive and it refused to go into reverse. Did a few checks under the bonnet and all was well...

Has anyone laid 12mm ply floor straight onto celotex/Rectinol insulation without first putting wood floor support timbers down. I.e. floor floating on insulation. Phil

As mentioned in another post this morning I am about or rather have started a new build on a Peugeot Boxer, as I promised Millie here are a few photos of the start. First few are some of the goodies to go in, I'm doing something different on this one I'm fitting full privacy glass sides and...

90 days before my license was due to expire at 70years I sent off my D2 and D4 (This was to keep my grandfather rights) on Sept 11 it arrived at DVLA Swansea by Royal mail special delivery signed for. I then sat back and waited the ten weeks that they were claiming it would take due to the...

What's happening lads seems that this forum change has silenced everyone?? Phil.

I have 4 motorcycles, well 3 actually one of them is my wife's 50cc Modena scooter how she rides it I really don't know as it does tops 35mph with a folllowing wind. But she can ride it without a CBT on her car licence 😄 I hate riding it as on straighter roads car drivers are constantly trying...

One of the things that really Ts me off about travelling around Britain is the 4G/5G situation, I've retired, I retired when I was sixty but my wife bless her was only 50 at the time, however she soon was able to work part time as PA to a property developer that she had been working for full...

A couple of weeks ago I foolishly said I'd fit one of these chinese diesel heaters into my sister in laws new to her Vito van, I looked on ebay and found a complete kit for the Princely sum of £79 having never fitted one or seen one come to that I had some trepidation in ordering it. It arrived...

Well nobody has mentioned it so I will. The heat is great! Most folk complain when it rains too much so this is the antidote. For those that don't remember, it may seem hot to you now but in 76 the temperature stayed at between 30c and 36c for a full six weeks, and Ladies and Gentlemen that was...

My neighbour has a Peugeot based motorhome 2004 that has a charging problem, he asked if I could look at it, it started apparently not to charge the cab battery a couple of months back so he would take the cab battery of and recharge it off the vehicle. The ignition light comes on when turning...

Good evening good people, in the past I have supplied folk with the pdf file for Ducato conversions the genuine Fiat pdf, and would you believe just when I need it I've changed my phone and none of my Arcobat reader files copied across to my new phone and I can't find any of them on the cloud...

Has anyone on here tried these but joint connectors, and if so what's your considered opinion. Phil https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274101913500

As you may have noticed I have had a few run ins with those on this site who are technophobes, but in reality I am all for modern tech so long as it is of real use to me, recently I ordered from one of the Chinese sites an Android 7" double din sat nav radio to put into my van in place of my all...

Wife said she had to deliver some paperwork this morning so I suggested I took her on the Bonneville, was only 10 miles there, so off we went and ended up doing 55 miles round the country roads in the Vale of Glamorgan, beautiful, warm sun, quiet roads had a great ride out for the first time in...
