So for us to now get T.V what do we have to do?? We have the Satellite dish which has 2 wires running from the Dish to the van. I am guessing that one was for Foxt...

Recently we have picked up an intermittent fault on the van. When we connect to mains water, sometimes the water tanks will fill by themselves. Wondering if we have a non return valve issue or could the water pump be allowing a backflow of water to the tanks? Any ideas? TIA

I love my wife with all my heart. She is a gentle soul, full of love for her family and friends, decent, hard working and sweet.
