Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

No ,its the one above the kitchen area Ian, I took it part tonight ,when we got unloaded and looked to find out how its fitted. Simple fix, just 4 screws to remove and it lifts off, now to order a new one.

Too late once the horse has bolted

Caravan parts are incredibly expensive. I found a place in Wales which strips modern caravans for parts. They are very helpful and extremely knowledgeable, their parts are good as new, individually assessed - better yet they are cheap. I got a good as new DG window delivered for £130, they new part was priced as £550 to £600 as a pattern part.

No man should carry the burden of such shame alone. I had an audience, outside the reception office on the way out of a site.

Everyone nearby came to help, and of course advise how not to repeat.

Mine wss 20 yards down the road from home - luckily, most of the neighbours were out, but three guys replacing a roof seemed a tad amused.

Is it persisting down up your end Rich?
NO perverted answers to that question either - I realise I could/should have used different words.
We've finally had an hour without any downpours - first time since we arrived in Devon on Sunday afternoon
