I personally think its getting boring now, there seems to be no challengers to Vettel and all the cars are supposed to be the same! I know the drivers are different but not too the extent of the time gaps between each other. I hope they reintroduce the fuel stops again not just the tyre changes and need to see more competition. Not even Webber was allowed to pressure Vettel as they could have lost points, so far ahead it would not have made any difference.BOORRRRIIINNNGG

You mean you lost it !!

try www.palmsequestrian.com, its english run as well.

There is a nice equestrian centre in Valverde with a bar - about 15 min max drive from LM - Spanish run - its signposted from the Blue Star roundabout

Many thanks for that Lisa. Just what I was looking for.
Does any one know of any more please?

Thanks to information you have all given me, I have now found 3 Horse Riding, Hacking contacts in the area they are Casa la Pedrera, Palms Equestrian Centre, Catral, and Club Hipica Los Arabes in Valverde. Can anyone please help with any others? There must be others?

Ian,
You could try El Rancho in Montissinos (I hope I spelt that correctly)
Take the LaMarquesa turning in the middle of Montissinos main street and El Rancho is a couple of kilometers from there.
Telephone numbers:
966 260 882
691 965 045

I had thought of that one Angelique but was not sure if it was still open or not? Does anyone know for sure? It is in a nice country area.
But am also looking for hacking on the beach, seems really hard to find, I was sure I had seen horses on the beach in this area.

Ian
Yes El Rancho is definitely open, I was there only a couple of weeks ago and they are expanding all of their operations.
If you ring to Bar46 in La Mata, telephone 966 926 299 they will be able to give you the name and number of the owner of the next door bar who has several horses and can, I believe, help you with"Beach Horse Riding" and he may also have contact names and numbers for people who can help nearer to home.

Hi Ian, there is a place down in the village on the left hand side of the main road as you are leaving the village which has a lot of horses.

I don't know about riding or hacking opportunities, but I will try to find out for you as I live quite close by.

Thank you for that Malcolm In finding out see if they have a www please and if any English at all is spoken.

Can any of you tell me if Dehesa de Campoamor still operates?

Dave,
He is probably ignoring you just as he seems to be ignoring the people who voted for him and the people he suggests he representents, namely Urb. La Marina?
His Empire is located next to the small Town Hall on Calle Madrid, you might find him there in the mornings.

I think I will have to give up and go somewhere else, Jeff seems to be able to answer other post but not mine, that is telling me something I am sure.

Dave,
Hope your problem gets sorted with or without Jeff's help.

Dave: contact can be made at [email protected].
I regret to say that I am unable to read and respond to all who post here as there are other issues that require my attention, but I hope to get round to all who do require my assistance. I try not to get involved in replying to some of the posts that are only of a derogatory nature.

Can anyone answer this question please

They are ignoring you Linda.

If you look at the other forums like Torrevieja forums and Anglo info, they do have a system whereby you will receive a reply to your posting, so I cant see why this forum cant do the same!

Its a great idea, we will get on to it and add it to the site as soon as possible.

That would be an excellent addition to this forum Steve. I myself would like this added as soon as possible as you loose track of what you have posted, and then you may get replies and not realise this - especially if you actually post in the other areas. Thank's Steve

I really do look forward to also seeing a slot for sale and wanted items rather than have to put them on the wall.

I have seen a for sale section on the "My Spanish Life" so I think that would be the best place to put your advert.

Thanks for that Dave. Yes I have found the section although I wouldn't have if you hadn't told me. I still find the site a bit baffling.

I also did when I first started using it, but all I did was click every button I could find and after a while I got the hang of it. The site seems to offer so much more than just a forum once you know where to look.

ooohhh had some replies to my post hee hee, so hopefully we will eventually get an email to let us know if people reply.

I had better go and check the wanted items, as i am still looking for a small freezer.

Wouldn't it be better to rename the heading "My Spanish life" to something like Miscellaneous to make life easier?

Malcolm,
My partner and I and indeed many of our close friends have been to Malika's restaurant.
It is an excellent restaurant and well worth a visit in my opinion.

Thanks for that Angelique. Have you tried the Moroccan theme night as yet? I understand there is another great night there again on 23rd of this month. truly a great night especially with the belly dancers!!

Malcolm,
I am sorry I have not tried the Moroccan Theme.
we have only been there for their excellent Tapas and a glass or two of wine.

I understand there are a few tickets still available but I'm sure, not for long. Do you want me to tell Malika to save you some?

Does anybody have any idea what we can do to stop the drip drip drip please ????

Carol...ours drips and runs down the wall...what i found though is if you keep it above 20 it did not drip plus, if we had a window open or there was air coming from outside it dripped for some reason..dont know if this info will help but it did us

Nice to hear you need air conditioning you want to come here in the pouring rain hasn't got fully light today yet and it's 11.30

I think I had the setting on at about 26 dg all night, and there were no windows open. It didn't drip previous years. I do not really want to have a bucket in the bedroom all summer and to hear drip drip drip all night. Thank's for trying but not really any help !!

¿ So where are all these DIY experts thought a lot of you would of been back with ideas. Even if you do not normally post this should be an easy one Lads??????

When our Air Con is on, it drips, but it goes through a tube to outside, where we have it running into a bottle.

The company we used is by the kitchen specialists and the George Pub, they are very good, also apparently, if you use air con it should be serviced annual and sometimes needs to be re-gased too.

You should have the filters in the A/C cleaned / cleared every year, but normally its not needed to refill the gas every year. Thats something that should be done every 3-4 years max.
If it drips its because the condense from the A/C unit comes BACK into the A/C and it can be that the tubing has a defect - the water should never end up on the inside of your house. Always on the outside.

I would recommend that you contact James on telephone number: 677 103 503. He installed my A/C at home and they are very professional. Tommy

Tommy does he charge for a call out plus, is he fair with his prices and does he do gaurentees

That's a very good point Andi, as we certainly do not intend to get ripped off for a leak !! We probably need all 3 of our air con units looking at or servicing or whatever.
SO, Tommy does James charge for a call out Plus doing the work ?? Thank's

to ANDI: andi21982

All I know is that I paid a fair price for the installation. The work they did was very professional and my A/C is running like clockwork. They also installed the A/C in our shop, and you really have to call them and ask them what and if they charge for out calls - because I have no idea. But if it was me, I would ask them to come and have a look at it. They are coming to my house on tuesday again to install another A/C unit in one of my guest bedrooms, so for sure tuesday they are in La Marina. Call them and ask.

We had the same thing - it sounds as though you have a blockage in the out pipe - check for kinks in pipe work, use a metal coat hanger to see if you have blockages - best solution to to get a wet/dry vacuum on the out flow pipe and suck the blockage out - we used an airline, but not many people have them - its got nothing to do with what temp you have it set at

I will call him monday mid-morning and see what he has to say, no harm in finding out.

I had the same problem recently. it turned out that the outlet tube was blocked.

Another night of Drip Drip Dripping. When I first turned the air con on last night it was fine for about half an hour, then just as I snuggled down.......drip drip drip. Thank you for all your suggestions. I will get Ian up the ladder outside later on to see if there is a blockage anywhere before we have to go to a lot of expense getting somebody out to look at it. Thank's Everyone!

Carol," I will get Ian up the ladder outside later on" do we really need to know this ? xx

1)you can try is increasing the temperature setting to around 24 degress, as it is a bit humid at the moment the amount of condensation being produced can overwhelm the water collection tray and over flow.
2) Check the inside unit is level on the wall as the drain flows to one side of the unit.
3) check the drainage is pipe is clear and un kinked (afraid the simplist way is a quick suck!
4)Check the condition of the drainage pipes, alot of companies use the cheap drain pipes supplied with the units and after a period of time UV light breaks them down.
5)Check where the water is draining into as if its running into a full water bottle, for example, this can then back up into the unit.

Hope this helps

My Mum in Law had same problem today - I went and cl;eaned her filters and used a wet/dry vacuum up the outisde pipes and cleared some debris - all now ok - try this first - dont want to spend money without having to - good luck x

Hip Hip Hooray Everyone !!
Ian got up the ladder yesterday and a very small pipe that leads from the inside air con to the outside unit had got blocked and when he moved it he got covered in water. SO, NO drip drip drip last night. That you all very much for your replies - most appreciated and it's saved us a lot of expense !!

Glad Ian sorted your bid drip Carol hee hee, but just incase you need it the company I was on ablt is Simply Aircon x

Hi Irene,
Much has been said on this subject and the councillors and their staff are leading people to believe that all animals are taken to SATS however I have received an email from Julia, SATS kennel manager stating that they are NOT the ones San Fulgencio have a contract with to collect strays from our streets, if you go to the police and ask them as I did they will tell you the new councillors told them to contact Cereco in Crevillente when an animal is found.

Irene,
Don't hold your breath but Jeff, our local Urb councillor promised almost four weeks ago, in this forum, that the animal ambulance would be returned to K9 and its volunteers with the minimum of delay.
I have not seen it! Has anyone else seen it?
If Jeff has promised it then assume that it is back in service?
Jeff would never let us down.
My new motto is: "If jeff has said it then it is a fact" or can both he and I be wrong?
