All trailers should be fitted with a manufacturer’s plate that clearly states the maximum load that the trailer can carry. Be careful, the maximum weight indicated on the trailer will often include the weight of the trailer itself!
Its very easy to make sure your trailer is road worthy and your load is securely strapped down, but make sure that you have a legal number plate on the trailer that matches the number plate on the car. A hand written number plate is NOT legal.
The starter motor on my Huatian Chinese scooter has stopped working. Can I rebiuld it or is it a replacement job, they are about 25 GBP on eBay, but I'd rather fix it if I can. How hard can it be?...View Entire Thread
Weston-super-Mare is a seaside resort set on the banks of the Bristol Channel. The town has a very large tidal range, the low tide mark being over 1 mile out, so it is not unusual to read stories of people and even cars being stranded and caught out by the tide. There is also the danger of Mud at low tide that can trap the unwary visitor. Until the beginning of the 19th century, Weston was a small hamlet of only a few homes. Then, during the Victorian age and with the coming of a rail link from Bristol, Weston became a popular seaside resort for holiday makers, the first hotel being built in 1808. Further holiday makers came in from the mining villages of South Wales using a paddle steamer to ferry them across the Bristol Channel. A long pier was constructed so the passengers could safely disembark.
