Alternators
Fredthegaffer <fredthegaffer@...>
HI
I have a Valeo 96 alternator on my van which I have now been assured is faulty, as it should give out 14 volts and only gives out 13.8 Is there a user replaceable part that I can easily swap on this? Or is it a full replacement? Advice appreciated Fred

Cost for our return - Tangier to Tarifa was under 100 Euro, From Barcelona it was around 700 Euro. (We had no interest in driving the east coast of Spain. Ship was most comfortable. Tom in Vero Beach

My 910 would cost £9.95 per quarter BUT the system needs to check your unit via TomTom Home. When it did this it reported that my Western Europe map was 2 quarters old so the cost for "Map Update" would be £19.90 up front then £9.95 a quarter. I have not bothered. Richard

Re: [MH-list] Blackpool parking - squirrels
Fredthegaffer <fredthegaffer@...>
We saw 2, from a very great distance. We even went back and had tea, then just before dusk we ventured out again (no they didn't come and close the gates) we sat quietly in the same spot for over an hour, the spot where they're usually so prolific. We never even got a hint of them.

It got really dark so we went over to the beach to enjoy the moonlight on the sea before leaving. Shame cos my friend has never seen a red squirrel and I've never been to formby and not seen them. usually getting to hand feed them too! Maybe they smelled Blackpool on me :) Never mind maybe next time. Fred

From: motorhome-list@yahoogroups.co.uk [mailto:motorhome-list@yahoogroups.co.uk] On Behalf Of Ernest Every year about now I get the Salon editions of European magazines and in glancing down the new model table am always reminded of the perversity of the storage problem ... In general smaller vehicles have more payload due to their lighter bodies - but less storage space of course. So buy a bigger vehicle (on the same chassis) to get the storage space and hey ho you can't fill it because you bump into a weight limit! In a recent French Salon Mag there are numerous 7+ metre multi-berth vans with only ~300 Kg of available payload ... I've got more than that in my car!

Hi Neill,
Thanks for that. I don't get on with their website. which does neither myself nor the ferry company any good. However, my wife says she is happy, so I'll let her sort it out. At present, I don't know when, or if, I will be travelling in the near future, but am bound to go sometime before the end of mext Spring. I phoned BF today, premium of 10p per minute. They promised to send me a brochure.....as soon as they are available. Then I phoned Transmanche, who told me to press 2....in French. They also said they would send me a brochure, but said I would have to go onto the internet to get the prices. I said not to bother, and I didn't bother phoning Sea France. Lets see what my wife comes up with. 6012 **************

Re: [MH-list] Blackpool parking - squirrels

They are a protected species so the NT would need a licence to cull. Hope they have one or else big trouble.
Peter S . There are so many and they are so bold that they become a real pest in local gardens (so many in fact that the NT quietly culls the population from time to time to moderate numbers!). Never been there at any time of year without seeing quite a few of them.

Not been around much recently so have hopped into this mid thread - but for what it's worth I read ebooks on my PDA (and now phone - which in my case is really a pda - O2 XDA) so you don't need a laptop or one of the silly expensive readers no one is likely to buy.

Naturally enough you won't find those in brochures. It is of course generally true that travelling midweek and off-peak is cheapest, as is booking with either very short or very much longer notice. The better web sites like Sea France will quote for your exact request but also allow you to page forwards and backwards to see other priced sailings at other times and on other days.
