I had a 1973 xj 5.3coupe in British racing Green, a red xjs think it was 78/79 , another 4 door white 70's xj , then a few later ones. An 88 xj , a 2000 s type 3 litre and couple of x types ( basically mondeos) all were cheap bought. But nice cars . I had a serious Arthur daily spell in the 90's lol


It's a shame there weren't mobile phones with cameras back then as I had some lovely motors but no photos of them nowadays as who keeps printed photos.

I don't know which one I had but the chrome work and red leather was amazing. Had some poke too if needed.

Yeah the white one I had also had red leather .. the coupe was tan interior. And proper thick hide leather in those days too.


To think I was driving round delivering Chinese takeaways in them lol

Ale-hop is your friend for stuff you never realised you needed 😉😀

Flying Tiger is another good one and they have them in the UK.
Trouble is they nearly always play swing music & I start dancing. 🎶

Sunday morning visual treat for everyone.
Last nights meal was truly amazing and believe it or not it actually snowed whilst we sat in the restaurant. Didn't lay though thank goodness.
One of the best tarta de queso ever, absolutely sublime.

That's way more posh than the tapas route;)
Restaurant looks great, they maybe looking for a Michelin star, already have a special mention (y)

Don't get me wrong we love a tapas bar with local specials and the scrum involved in the whole experience, but after a consult with the weather forecast we wanted to sit down and enjoy. When it snowed I got the smug moment of knowing we had chosen wisely 😀😀.
 
Just sent this email to premuim motorhomes this morning as we have some more snags occur.


Hi Caroline

I just need to add some more things that are either broken or not working as they should.
To recap previous
1.
2nd leisure battery needs to be added to the read system currently is not on the sensors.
2.
Grey tank is showing incorrect readings.
3.
Black tank is not even reading.
4.
Damaged flyscreen on both kitchen window and habitation door.
5.
Step system keeps failing.
6.
Shower screen catch and soap/shampoo holder need to be replaced as failed.
7.
Bed support on passenger side next to the shower needs to be reattached so the sliding door to the bedroom can be used.
8.
Kitchen drawers new plastic parts from underneath the drawer need fitting, drawer realigned to stop it from sliding open whilst in transit.
9.
Sanitary douche hose in the bathroom needs to be fitted as per the initial order.
10.
Software fix for engine running lights needs to be undertaken to prevent unnecessary caution lights.
11.
Air filter warning light needs to be looked at, comes on when it rains.
12.
Washing machine sockets needs to be on the inverter system as per initial order.
13.
Whining Feedback through the speaker system, solution to be applied.
14.
Noice from aircon/heating vent whilst driving.
15.
Software patch required so we don't have to constantly keep removing the electric sockets and reattaching them so they work.

And now the new problems.

1.
Fuel cap is faulty it's become very difficult to remove as it keeps spinning and not releasing
2.
The ok garman voice command only works half the time.
3.
Self levelling system needs to be checked as it constantly doesn't get level on the automatic function and I always have to adjust it. This never happened with the previous e&p system.
4.
Front information screen doesn't work if we are not driving, so we can't use the radio or apps function whilst parked. It also reinitialise itself overtime we start up to drive.
5.
We are getting a battery engine warning light on the master system above the door, the battery's are fine, starts no problem. Needs attention.
6.
Bin drawer keeps opening in transit.
7.
Half of the overhead locker catches are either too hard to open or don't match properly. This may be a design fault but a solution needs to be found.
8.
The drawers under the bed and the drawers in the lounge area are misaligned with the catch systems they have. Needs attention or new catches.
9.
Gas tank sensors which tells me when the tank is empty is faulty needs to be reset or replaced.

This does seem to be a lot of snags for a 1st class motorhome.
I hope these problems can be received with speed.

Thank you
Gareth

24 snags within 3 months of ownership.
Oh dear
However I do like the beast, it's a great motorhome which is so easy to drive.
I'm confident that we shall get a positive outcome from premuim motorhomes.

Is this the usual though for new builds, it's a lot of electrical and software issues, but also silly hardware stuff as well

Forget the swap! :ROFLMAO:
 
Love the food porn.
We always stop over in Haro on our way home, so am waiting in anticipation of your foodie photos from that restaurant, will see if we can keep back the funds for our last night there.

Looks like you have a few issues guys but remember it is a new design with some new or certainty new to MORELO tech in it so I suppose some teething problems had to be expected, as you say I am sure Premium will get on top of it when you are home.

I agree but shoddy workmanship should have no home in this level of motorhome (hardware issues) Plus don't forget we had a big problem with our last morelo not been able to rectify the software issue between the morelo part and the iveco part.
We shall await the outcome but I'm definitely not spending 80 man hours sat at northern commercials brighouse, although you can get amazing pork pies from the butchers in town 😁😁.
I hope you enjoyed New Zealand, it is a very special country and I hope in the future Phil and I can go again.
