neil - hi ! have finally collected Fifi and have a few issues that I'll be pursuing with Danbury.... I'm thrilled with the way the conversion is designed - so compact etc and am enjoying showing this off to friends.. however -
- they didn't fit the alarm and re-funded me because 'there's a new model of alarm that doesn't fit her' - i know this to be rubbish
- despite being told - and urged to buy her- when i rang for casual info in April - that she was the last 1.3 diesel - there was another there unsold. They said ' oh we found this in the workshop!!!! and decided may as well sell it - we'd used it as demo'
mine has masses of danbury stripes, logos everywhere which none i've seen pics of have - i strongly suspect they've palmed me off with the demo - there was damage to a seat cushion that i spotted and they replaced the cushion etc etc. they said' oh they all have stripes etc on them..'
does yours have 'go faster' stripes on side and plastered with logos?

No...and they didn't ask. I don't think they would have shown up too well on the unusual blue colour on my van.
I've seen the logo on a couple of Doblos' photos, and some of the larger vans.

It seems I'm the only one (so far) that has/had an issue with the Toad alarm. It was a nightmare if it went out of sequence & often did. I've had it go off when parked on my drive & simply walking past it? Just activating the entry mode, thereby any movement in the van would be detected, was a no no. In that mode I had to ensure all the windows were shut, as a slight breeze would activate it, even a fly has set it off. So each time I set the alarm, it was with 2 blips of the sender fob, so the movement sensor was not activated. The engineer who installed it actually came out to my property (25 mls) to check the system out & could find no fault. And he was from a well established company, handling everything connected with MH electronics. But left me detailed proceedure to reset the system if/when it went haywire again, by using the ignition key & turning the ign on & off at preset intervals. I've since sold that MH & made sure the new one had no connection with Toad before I went ahead with the deal.

oh poor ozzy - maybe you had a similar problem to the fiats.... was told that there was a problem dealing with the eccentric wiring on the Fiats which was actually why mine was not fitted - thank goodness....
Neil!! apparently you should be able to isolate and generally do a war dance or somesuch in order to set the alarm when yr inside it - ie deleting the internal sensor.. this shd make you feel safer when inside - and was one of the reasons why I had wanted it
Fifi is my car so won't be in storage - interested by the way as to whether you've also noticed the leisure battery dropping a little (see my post on this) even when not being used.
Stuff - yes - difficult to restrain oneself!! I'm using the fridge as a cupboard!
9 days - most impressive!! do you have a heater?
best, lizzythefish
