ooops....ouch, DD
I've a list of things I've 'updated/refined/improved/changed' but we have only had two actual 'issues' from new, both resolved the day after purchase by dealer....I stayed locally for a couple of nights 'shakedown'...
1. the Thetford oven we had fitted wouldn't stay lit...a known issue with washer size on the main temp knob....5 min fix.
2. a weeping 'elbow' junction in the water system nr the water pump (oddly, identical issue in previous van)...swapped/tightened elbow junction connector...5 min fix.
since then, like DD's, it's been solid as a rock...
off tomorrow now I can drive again following sign off after eye surgery.

Not fixed exactly but this month I ordered a swivel plate for the passenger seat and we now have a swivelling seat.
Yep, I'd have thought it would be a standard fitting, too.

I thought NT had changed (are changing) their parking policy...still free to members but you will have to put your membership card jnto a machine and get a ticket like everyone else....??
I think it's not an immediate roll out, but happening....we forst noticed this last year at Burton Bradstock....

Have come across various ways with the NTS sticker BB, if there is an updated machine that is scanning I will ask. The scan is to check how many members are using the car parks apparently, their FAQs explain it. At Stourhead we go and get a "special" ticket from reception.
DD, the bubbles or lack of them have yet to be inspected....have you got a listening device over in Y?!

He'll be using the radar scanner.

We had a similar failure if not exactly the same one on our habitation door lock. The tiniest of a 'pin' snapped off which meant the door could not be opened from the outside although the rest of the operations all worked well. Luckily the mechanism was replaced FOC by the dealer as it was only a few months old. Dealer told us it was not an uncommon occurance.

The stickers are/were very each to obtain at a NT office. One year we had 3 - one in each vehicle.
Perhaps I should have put them on eBay.

Until recently we had to pay £5 for an extra NTS sticker. This year two arrived rather than one. As the NT car parks don't all have machines and the car parks are reciprocal I'm not going to worry about it. In their FAQs they say they can't fine you but you might get a disapproving letter.

We applied for a second this year and got an email back saying we could have one if we wanted but the system is now that where there is a machine you scan your membership card and where there'should no machine parking is free for all visitors.

Finally got round to putting the registration number on the roof. Bought the sticker from Griffin Stickers.
Also took the hubcaps off and checked the wheel nuts, and tyre pressures. Took the spare wheel off it's carrier (good practice) and checked the pressure of the spare too.

Tin wheeler is right, police helicopters for one. I’m guessing thieves would quickly change the number plates to fool mobile and static ANPR. Having the number on the roof could possibly be viewed by most council cctv systems and motorway gantry cctv systems that now encircle most large towns and cities. Anyway, it just makes me feel a bit happier.

Scraped the front nearside wing getting into a narrow entry, scratches only, but it is a job I can do without right now. I have had to make a temporary job of touching it up until I have more time to make a better job of it or get a proffesional to do it.
I washed it and gave it a bit of a polish today.
