As well as making a stew as you drive, you could put your croissants in the slow cooker just as you go to bed...

Lol 8 hours of electric to warm a croissants might be a bit overkill

 

[Phill D]

Yes I was eyeing up castle coch ...it looks good on Google. Not sure I'll have time though as heading to brecon tomorrow after brakes are done

It’s just about an hour to Brecon , but there are several stops you may be tempted to make for a view or a walk on the way.

But Castell Coch is def worth half an hour of your time.

 

[Phill D]

Your In My kneck of the woods Tam but I’m away until Friday.
Oh, I met mackeellan a week or so back, nice guy.
Give him my regards.

Wouldn't they get soggy with the stew

It doesn’t seem a good combo to me, much prefer potatoes or dumplings.

You may not be aware that Tam changes his accent daily (or attempts to). Don't know if he's going with a Manchester accent after watching Corrie, or singing with a Valleys tenor when he meets me tomorrow. I'll let you know

 

[Lenny HB]

Yep. I can never undstand him for a day or two, he gets the hint when I keep asking him to repeat himself, then he trys to talk in English.
One day he might manage it.

I’ve had four Daily s , it’s a common problem, loads of posts on the Iveco Daily forums.

Why wouldn’t he change his accent every day , that’s to go with changing his mind every day

Me too. This is our first Iveco Daily, so not sure what the common problem is.

Cheers,

He's talking about brake fade

As I said in my first post when I mentioned it
" I'm not sure if it's an iveco problem"

The reason I said that is when I had the issue with mobys brakes I read lots of posts on the iveco forums with similar problems.

Basically iveco dailys do have brake issues more than other brands, so while it may just need the brake fluid changing it might not be as simple as that.

But it's a good place to start

I've had 4 too. 2 x mk3 vans , 1 x mk2 motorhome and this mk3 motorhome.
Never had brake issues with the 2 vans , just the motorhomes.

 

[Northernraider]

I don't change my mind .

What I do is consider various options.

Once I make my mind up then I tend to stick with it
And sometimes when folk make daft suggestions I just agree with them to save the hassle. Then i do my own thing in the end

 

[Northernraider]

Back at garage noo. I spoke slowly when I spoke to him telling him I was in the van with the dogs and as soon as he's ready to do it I'll take them out for a walk . Just so there's no confusion lol

Bloody raining again though...typical . Forecast said not raining till this evening, rest of week down here looks bleak to be honest . I'm looking forward to Spain

Ever been to Llanthoney abbey ? Fab u lous , don’t go over hay bluf from hay on Wye but go around approaching it from Crickhowell direction with big MH

Not sure that road is suitable for anything bigger than a transit. We took our MG midget to Llanthony and it was just the right size

He'll have ducks on the wall next

After agreeing a price with premium motorhomes for my motorhome as a trade in I'm getting brake warning lights and a fluid level warning lights, typical it could have lasted a few more weeks. It's probably just sensors.
Off to the garage tomorrow.
Bloody ivecos are so sensitive especially the newer ones, mind the new one is going to be an iveco as well.

 

[Flairy]

When you have work done in Germany they ask you to park up in the yard and would you like hook up and water and oh if you like to empty the loo,that goes for most places they can’t be more helpfull and I’ve used them for 30 years.

Yeah the beauty with moby was it didn't have any sensors...or very few anyway. The newer the vehicle the more it has and often its the sensor itself that goes faulty and causes issues. And often so many you can't pinpoint which one it is.


The fiat's are not much better though , loads of sensors on them too.

Thanks Tam.

Like you, I've (thankfully) not experienced brake fade in the few years of ownership.

I had it on moby and I've got it on this one too. Hopefully it is just the fluid being old.

But I was discussing this with Just smiffy the other day . Neither of us have ever made a point of having brake fluid changed in our vehicles, I've never done it as far as I recall. I've bled them for sure but never completely replaced it. And the price of cars etc I've always ran I can't see them having had it done by previous owners either.

Google now advises a change every 2 years lol.

The park4night reviews say struggle in anything bigger than vw camper size so I'll give that a miss. I won't have time anyway .

I need to be in Pershore tomorrow night to get my remap done Thursday morning, then I've a brief stop in Birmingham Thursday afternoon and on to cannock for the night , deliver scooter carrier on Friday.

I have a Citroen Berlingo in Spain. Had it for more than 10 years. It failed it's itv(mot)
as brakes out of balance. Fitted new wheel cylinder as slight weep. On bleeding fluid looked like brand new.
How is moisture supposed to get in without fluid leaking out?

they might have a reception area where you could sit with the dogs whilst the job is done to save you all getting soaked, although I imagine the dogs will need a walk anyway for peeing and such..
