I was of that opinion Phil up until l built the shower block at La Tournerie where I used alkathene pipes to bring the water down from the water/solar panels on the roof down to the hot water cylinder. The summer of 2008 was a very hot one in the Dordogne, so hot in fact that the water...

Generally speaking Chris, at this time of year 'Millie' is parked up on SORN, the main reason being that damp conditions normally result in damp and dirty dogs and we soon run out of dry towels when our most adored four legged friends get back from one of their many walks!!

I believe windscreen chips are only a failure item if they are 10mm or larger in diameter and within the drivers line of vision and that will be the same over in N.I. The one in question in this post is so small in most lights it is impossible to see it which is why I am so annoyed about this...

The annual service and MOT were carried out on our daily driver car on Monday. I had very thoroughly checked out the car before taking it, including stripping down and thoroughly cleaning all the brake calipers and fitting new "Green Stuff" pads (they are brilliant), having a new full set of...

Thanks for asking, I feel quite amazingly on top of the world Phill. Throughout my life, well from the age of 11 onwards I have enjoyed the black mist you can experience when you push muscles into and through their comfort zones. After almost a year of not being able to do so, I am not up to...

It's a bloody closed shop, possibly driven by the likes of the NCC, the UK manufacturers along with their dealers and of course the damnable Caravan & Motorhome Club! I don't know who you are insured with Rob but I am with Scenic who apart from employing telesales people who actually know about...

When I was living in France, because of what was described as dangerously high cholesterol levels I was prescribed 'statins', three different makes of statins later my GP realised that my body wouldn't tolerate them! A couple of years later and shortly before a hip opp, I had the usual blood...

My word that was a whole lot of education for me Chris because until a few moments ago, I had never heard of Slapton Sands, so I did a quick Google search and came across this tragic war training story from 1944 as detailed in the archives of the Devon Life newspaper...

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Hello Mike, welcome aboard this ever expanding base of self building intrigue. There is one in our midst who is in the process of converting his IVECO Daily, namely @Kermavio, he lives over in France, no doubt he will be very interested to see your efforts. All the best Phil

Sorry Chris but no help for you at the moment, but when I first built 'Millie' I installed a 12mm marine ply floor throughout which I then gave 3 coats of water based satin varnish. On top of this floor I then built all the units and then for the floor area I bought some good quality vinyl...

HEART ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE ALONE Please pause for 2 minutes and read this and then share it: Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard and frustrating day at work. ... You’re feeling really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing...

Hiya Vic; yes I can assure you that just as long as you have a decent pump such as the Shurflo.................. you will get a good powerful flow. We only on soak/off wash/on rinse shower to save water and the power of flow at the shower head is way more than adequate, in fact neither of us...

The problem I have with any larger size tube is the actual capacity of water it holds. It doesn't matter so much with the cold water pipes but when it comes to the hot water supply, it stands to reason that larger diameter pipe waste so much water when you turn on the tap and have to wait for...

There's no hope for me as I only drink!!

Hello Gary and OUCH BIG TIME as I know what broken ribs feel like!! Yes there are a lot of us now on here who used to be on both DIY and SBMCC and I know, almost without exception, that we are all hoping this place will turn into the to go to friendly forum to discuss any problems associated...

On one of the facebook van building forums I have just noticed a post from someone called David Bonser of Midland Leisure Supplies www.midlandleisuresupplies.co.uk Apparently they do get in at times supplies of brand new single cab passenger seats that they normally sell at somewhere between...

Désolé mais je ne comprends pas...................

Dave; I found your totally reasoned appraisal of fridges to be a very valued read. I have a WAECO CRX 50 fitted and whereas it is OK, but certainly not great, the cost of it alone would result in me never ever even thinking of buying another one!! Phil

My problem is that I never see any clothes on women, apart from the fat ugly ones with dimpled btm's and skin tight leggings, they all look the same to me.............. just off to Specsavers!!
