Scanned passports at french border control. No fingerprints or stamps Hallelujah. Weather terrible on the way and Dartford crossing down to one lane and a car burning nicely between J 1a and 1b. . Occupant standing away. Looked like an E5 Renault to me http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=689887&v=e car4play689885 Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:49:51 +0100 Horses Mouth.. Leaving your EV's air conditioning running while parked on a car deck is generally prohibited due to maritime safety rules. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=689885&v=e car4play689883 Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:14:13 +0100 What if one has an EV and can leave the a/c running? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=689883&v=e car4play689879 Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:32:52 +0100 Got a text message alert from DFDS today saying that if temperatures 24c + they will suspend pet travel between 10-oo and 16.oo tomorrow. Added that full refund or rebook free of charge was available. Phoned and asked to change booking, at first was told £160 extra. Only paid £149 return (early booking) (non-refundable) Pointed out that on the text message it said FOC and after checking with manager all done for free. Got a new invoice by e-mail and a bit of creative accounting was done to make the price the same. (including a £20 amendment fee). Still ended up paying no more. Leaving Dover 07.40 instead of 12.55. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=689879&v=e
