I am off to get a tyre repaired. Another screw in the Cali - second time in this, third time overall (the Subaru got one a month ago); both have fairly heavy duty All Season tyres - ARRGHHH!!!! Done a near forensic sweep of the driveway; nothing there. I suspect it's one of the 474747575749023...

Anyone else get battered? It was SO windy last night Dropbox - 2017-12-27 11.47.10 HDR.jpg

I extended our warranty last year on the M135i; I normally avoid these insured warranties but it came highly recommended and was £360 with a £500 excess. Now it’s coming up again it’s a Jan 14 car: 63 plate); a bit more than £400, same excess. Mileage is 41k, we look after it very well...

Focussed on the old Cali but still some interesting stuff in here and look at those bonkers used values!!!! Used ’van challenge: T5 VW camper van | Advice | Practical Motorhome

Might sound unlikely but I see a lot of complaints about the fuel economy of the 150 engine yet very few about the 204. Is it just a case of expectation of the 150 being good on fuel whereas 204 owners just assume there’s will be thirsty or are there real figures to back this up? Maybe the 204...

We’re getting through headlight (and sidelight) bulb start at a silly rate on our otherwise ultra reliable old 2006 Subaru Outbsvk; I recently got brighter Bosch ones (H7s) which lasted longer but both have now blown. Any ideas what the problem might be? At first I thought it was just age and a...

Noticed the Dutch Ocean next to us (light beige sort of colour) has black "plastic" B pillars forming a continuous black glass line, ours has body coloured/painted B pillars. It also has chrome side strips (not nice IMO); any idea why?! The owner said it's some sort of exec model but I can't see...

So... our fridge won't turn on and the Euro socket is flashing red. Off to a Spanish dealer to get ignored again...

Is there any way of turning this off? Our leisure battery ran flat (everything still worked; just the control panel that told us!) and I'm wondering if this pesky light might have contributed. We leave the boot open a lot when it's hot, which it has been almost all holiday but this turns it on...

All three are like this; that's not dirt it's just worn paint. No issues in three years in our last Cali. I think they've replaced decent metal with rubbish plastic. Anyone else had similar? It's just over a year old, 7200 miles. We're very careful with it.

Parked right next to a Beach 4motion; they really should do them in the UK; would've suited friends of ours (with a FWD Beach) perfectly.

Auto latching has failed several times on our sliding door but it always "comes back" but it's now gone on our boot; in the middle of Spain... now that isn't a huge issue but the sensor "thinks" the boot isn't shut and so an alarm plus graphic on the MFD is constantly blaring at us. But it does...

...until this years big Euro trip, our 4th in a Cali. Feeling rather unprepared...!

Just changed all four tyres on my Cali but the rears aren't far off unworn. At least 6mm of tread. They are Bridgestone Turanza ER300s 235/55 103V; so if anyone needs to replace a pair (they are £150 each) of OEM tyres labelled as VW, you can have both for £100 collected. North Cornwall, away...

I've now heard this at least half a dozen times. The implication that a Sportline is somehow a some exclusive model rocket ship that can barely be handled by a mere mortal - even today by a fellow Coastguard (we trained today); I asked him about his tyre wear (ours is bad) and he said "about...

So we go away a week Sunday on our 5-6 week Euro jaunt but... my bloody outer edges are pretty worn on both front tyres. And they are pretty low rent Bridgestone Turanzas (thanks VW; it's only a 50 grand van you tightwads). The rest of the tread is almost untouched. Do I try and get some...

Think you look cool on yer little 20s? Da kool kidz rock these rimz you shopping trolley wheel dinosaur...

Anyone else had this? The bit that sits on the clutch foot rest started splitting a while ago has now snapped off. Another thing to mention next week when it goes in for a new bumper protector!

Okay, getting excited now. The only booking we do for our five week trip is the first night or two; now booked. Can't wait!! https://m.pitchup.com/campsites/spain/principado-de-asturias/asturias/llanes/camping_la_paz/

1) Cordless landline phones - just ordered the cheapest corded phone after yet another pair of expensive cordless nonsense ones died. And they don't work if there's a power cut. 2) Toilets - what on Earth has happened to them? Recently had a new one fitted. It's hateful. Upstairs has an original...
