Hello Tel, Welcome to the Forum. Much reading to do, and knowledge to be gained, herein. Good luck with your search.

I think North Star are located on the Isle of Wight, unless this is another company trading under a similar name. Or am I confusing them with New Dawn ?

Hello Ann, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Kate, Welcome to the Forum. Try Jacob at Topsham Car Sales. Otherwise, this topic has been covered in the forum. Try searching for Bike Rack; search box is on your home page, top right.

And, of course, you will put your recent receipt somewhere safe in one of the glove boxes (I have two, I expect you do too.)

Hello Matt, Welcome to the Forum.

Epic journey. Here's wishing you every success on behalf of all Club members

Hello Martyn, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Michael, Please note, I am not a Hybrid owner. I doubt it is the battery, but if you are a member of the RAC and have the "At Home" service, why not ? Methinks it is more likely 'lack of use' coupled with possible parasitic drain, i.e. something left on. If you have a smart charger I would try that first.

I used to frequently travel long distance through Spain. Although, it was age-dependent, I found Saga to be excellent.

My quickest notion was old brake fluid. When was yours last changed ? It is very difficult to detect slowly diminishing brake performance.

Hello Jack, Welcome to the Forum. There is a section in the forum where members can recommend garages and services. Check it out there may be somewhere near you.

Thanks for this Chris. I will search the vehicle, I doubt I'll find anything as I have had Alphie for quite a while, and been through all the storage cubbies before; although not searching for a hidden key. If there was a hidden fob, surely the system would prevent the vehicle being locked which I can always do. I always use the smart fob for locks and the immobiliser for starting. That said, maybe my van 'thinks' a smart fob is in the vehicle when it is actually in my hand less than a metre away. What can be annoying, is when I step out the vehicle with the intention of opening another door (perhaps for my dog to get out) the car locks as I move much less than a metre away from the driver's door.

Yes. I have one for the windscreen and front side windows. I think the supplier was Fuel Lagoon.

Let us know how you get on, especially on the prices. I have Brembo discs and pads on a vehicle I own; not my Alphie. The costs can be considerable.
