5 weeks in Italy is worth a little bit of stresss.

I stayed in Amalfi for three weeks. I hired a new Renault Clio from Naples airport by the end of three weeks the only straight body panel was the roof. The extra insurance certainly paid for it's self that year. The Amalfi coast road is quite an experience.

If you go to Versuvius by car do not leave anything in the vehicle when you park, it will all be gone when you get back. Done that bought the T-shirt in the early eighties.

These are readily available on E bay £14.99 each.

I have just spent the week at Devizes and the wardens there were very friendly indeed

I have the same problem, except it was the BT who decided to put a telegraph pole dead opposite my drive, making it impossible to use the car to put the caravan up my drive.

Sorry my mistake, got the wrong end of the stick.

My van tyre pressures are 65psi cold, so it does not take long to go over 70psi even in normal weather conditions.

Same here.

Thanks a lot, will get some Soudal sealant tomorrow.

I have to replace the high level stop lamp on my van, the old one was stuck on with some kind of sealant as well as the two screws. What kind of sealant should I use?

Some of you make London sound like downtown Beirut, I carry my money in a wallet in my back pocket, but I also keep my wits about me and avoid the obvious problem places. I don't walk around with my phone clamped to my ear and if it rings I only answer when I am somewhere safe, not strolling down an alleyway. I have been mugged in the past, but if I was not the worse for wear, it would not have happened.

I was stopped and breathalyzed at 11 oclock on a Sunday morning. I was given the impression that they only breathalyzed me be cause they were stopping everyone including locals. I was not asked to produce a breath kit.

Are you sure that the alarm is not being deliberately tripped. This used to be a common thing with car alarms, after a while and completely hacked of with the constant false alarms people switched the alarm off and the next night the car disappeared.

Fortunately the damage has been limited to replacing the battery box door and fitting a new battery lead, all in all less than £60. The door shows almost no sign of being forced, I was surprised how easily this was opened and how vulnerable it is to this kind of assault.
