    keeping a boat in spain

    It's not a problem, just cancel any Spanish registration and put it on the UK SSR. As long as it's EU VAT paid, the boat can stay indefinitely even if you're restricted to 90/180.

    Coffee Machine

    As myself and others have posted in this thread, the stainless steel insulated cafetieres are great. they keep the coffee hot and they don't break. When we had glass ones, I always kept spare glass inserts as they would inevitably crack. Since moving to SS years ago I haven't had to replace one yet.

    How do you refer

    I rarely use "the wife". My domestic operative sounds better and this sofa is quite comfortable, once "one" gets used to it!

    Sole Diesel Mini 34 dead switch panel

    It has stopped raining briefly so I pulled the panel off and rechecked the connections. One spade connection on an after-market switch looked a bit mucky so I cleaned it and reconnected it. Hey presto, all seems to be working fine. What caused a problem was that much of the original coloured...

    Coffee Machine

    We use a cafetiere but a stainless insulated one rather than glass as they break easily.

    Who really makes those branded plastic toolboxes?

    I read recently that the Lidl Parkside range are made by Bosch. Don't know if that's true or not.

    Sole Diesel Mini 34 dead switch panel

    No replies so far but the local Sole distributor happened to have a key switch in stock so I bought it and I'll fit it as soon as it stops bloody raining!

    Sole Diesel Mini 34 dead switch panel

    I have a problem with the switch panel for my Sole Diesel Mini 34. When I was last at the boat in March, everything worked fine. When I arrived this trip, turning the key did nothing. Normally, on turning the key to position 1, the alarm would sound and the warning lights would come on. Turning...
