We seem highly reliant on USB charging, mostly through the micro USB ports. That's used for our phones/satnav/ battery pack/ tablet/ mediaplayer/etc... Recent problems resulted in throwing away some unreliable cables and buying two new USB chargers: Standard type Anker powerdrive : which seem to have a very good reputation. And less conventional: Dual output DC to DC converter Which should give a 3A charging from a very wide range of input voltages from 8V to 22V so that's anything from a flat leisure battery to solar power panel. Epoxy encapsulated to waterproof and shockproof. I've got it permanently wired up in the camper. The quiescent power use should be minimal, but I'd prefer to put a switch on just in case.

Great night out with Canoe club. Curry night king Babas Bath Street in Leamington Spa Followed by TJ's and then Kelseys . As planned I had been drinking and needed to stop the night. No trouble: convenient parking space in Leam Terrace

Just finished the last interior wall. The one round the new crawl through.

Just for the record, fuel filter ( 1902138 about £6) change this month. I never really thought it was important with low mileage and clean UK filter. But after a question form the MOT man about blocked injectors, I thought I would make sure. Also bought a spare for the big expedition.

Just for the record, oil change and new filter on Filter part number 2994057 £6.94 + from Vexi 7 litres of 40/15 semi synthetic oil from Eurocarparts. Oil everywhere, I think I took more care with a funnel arranegment last year. Neighbour has an oil sucking unit that would have been much cleaner and easier: Sealey 6.5L

Do the injectors need cleaning? Engine does not start on the first click of the ignition key. Rough idle at start A bit more engine vibration than before MOT man says there is diesel in the exhaust I tried Wynn's injector cleaner cleaner, (£6 from Halfords) despite very mixed reviews and advice. Added to 60l of Deisel so it took a  while to work through. Conclusions: No immediate effect (hardly surprising) Starts immediately now smooth idle at start So a success? Or should I take the injectors out..... .... ?

Here is a record from the MOTs of our mileage each year (roughly January to January). A similar list exists of mileage given for the insurance each May. Year Mileage Annual 2010 98,133 2011 103,305 5172 2012 109,684 6379 2013 111,654 1970 2014 114,735 3081 2015 119,538 4803 2016 121,521 1983 2017 124,317 2796 2018 2019 2020
