    You can download a free sample of MMM. Check >this< out. You can subscribe to a digital version much cheaper than paying for paper copies and you can print out articles of interest if you need to.

    The latest electronic version of the magazines also contain hyperlinks with video, sound and extra photos/diagrams embedded in the articles. What next? Smells too?wink

    It seems a very readable magazine, independent of clubs, sites etc... so not too much emphasis on anything in particular. Has some good articles for those with older MHs (by older, I mean older, not just out of warranty!) some nice tours reviewed both in U.K. and overseas. Some good technical bits as well. OH wanted to try a new magazine this year, so we did a subscription for a year, a good bit cheaper. We like the rustle of a mag, rather than the swipe of a page sometimes. Let's just say, we both read it, will keep editions for a while, then pass on to friends or via Club Site information points.

    i used to buy it off the shelf but a couple of yeas ago, the promotion at the time was a large holdall of AutoGlym product, wnich i still use.

    whilst it can be a bit repetitive (the section headings are the same each month) there seems to be a bit more oomph in the reviews.

    the technical stuff is pretty good, installing kit, fault finding, making the most of your van's capabilities etc..

    as mentioned, the OAL forum has one or two 'acknowledged' gurus and probably the most clued up 'real life' expert on Fiat Ducatos, as he runs a fleet himself.

    Thanks peedee. I just downloaded the free sample. A couple of interesting articles and (at last) the definitive answer on Fiat tyre pressure warning settings (I have a Peugeot but I suspect the answers the same - factory set and no way of changing).

    That sounds a good deal BB, we like Autoglym stuff. We tend to only stay with a subscription for a couple of years at the very most, as, like you say, some of the articles can get a bit repetitive. But enjoying it at the moment.

    The digital subscription to MMM is currently on offer at £24.99, that is just about £2 per copy.

    It is a terrible indictment on the Club’s communications policy when you have to read a magazine other than the Club’s to find out the Club’s thinking and intentions. No wonder many just bin the Club's magazine and don't bother using FB and this forum.
