I have never been required to change a tyre on my tow vehicle whilst hooked up to our caravan. Is it OK to keep the caravan hooked up or should it be freed from the tow vehicle prior to changing the vehicle tyre? Thanks in advance. Peter Morris

Hi all, Can anyone tell me why my 3 way fridge stopped working from the battery while driving? The fuse looks OK and the interior light is still on but the little triangle alarm symbol comes on as soon as I start the motor and the fridge starts to defrost. The fridge is a Dometic auto. Jen

I have a small round dodgy LED light in the step well of my Jurgens. I can get the fascia and lens off but that's it. Do I have too break it to get it out or is there a way of getting it out without breaking it. Tried turning it and also levering it with a screw driver. No luck at this point.
