The digital terrestrial channels are going to be Spanish or at best you might pick up Portuguese ones. Only if your TV has a digital tuner built in (in UK a freeview tuner) would it be able to decode these channels without an add-on digibox. Since it comes thro the standard roof aerial all your cables should be OK. As far as I can determine to get UK channels on Esuri you will have to be connected to a satellite dish on the roof and will need a satellite digibox to get the channels but the good bit is with the new BBC/ITV announcement on Satellite Free to Air channels you will not need a subscription to get all the standard UK channels but not the sky ones. They are going to have free HD available so I would wait a bit for it to settle and if your TV has HDMI inputs for about €500 you could have a subscription free UK TV service including HD at Esuri.

Hi, can anyone on Rago 1 tell me the make of thier boiler, I need to download some instructions but can't remember the make. I am sure it began with an "A"?? Also does anyone know of someone who can service the boilers?

Thanks in advance...

John&Lynn

The name of the boiler is ASPES, I hope you are not having problems already. No idea about servicing it though. Good luck

Loretta

No problems, just after some basic instructions for lighting it up for our guests etc. Strange though, can't find anything on the web about there boilers, just washing machines

Hola,
Is this what you're looking for?

If this is not enough, then perhaps this link is worth a try:

Aspes and Fagor (the make of the hob/oven (I think) in the kitchen) are the same. However, I am not certain about Rago I specifications, so please keep this in mind.

It is an offence for Fadesa not to leave instructions with the boiler.

Hola jdr,
Fadesa does include the instructions and guarantee in the pack handed over with the keys. Ask again at the shed.

Hola Mel,
ah, so there is a tech department? Just to make things that bit more technical, I think the rep speaks Portuguese only (yeah, that'll be right...) So, perhaps there will be more shoulder shrugging, and head scratching.
Remember, Mel, you are now no longer the "pupil", but the "head of the department", and Grace's planning timetable has fallen short of your expectations! Go get your window!

Not exactly but certainly sent me to the right place for our model. We have a Combi-Boiler and this is the link if anyone needs it. http://www.aspes.com/pub/cast/produc...lentadores.pdf

Don't worry JDR we have the manuals at the apartment (in spanish of course), but want them in english!!

Cheers All

Great teamwork! karma sent to you!

And there i was enjoying the 27 degrees of pure sunshine in my "English" garden and i get some karma as well. What a beautiful day!!

Time for a beer and a barbecue i think...

Couldn't agree more, found Zit prices very competitive too.

I use Economy because there are no x-border restrictions to Spain, (nor the 'compass limits' mentioned above - which sound weird to me) second driver included, AND most of the insurances are included, meaning zero excess charge if you have an accident. Although note that there are some exceptions like if someone smashes your window or the locks.

You pay a tad more - but I think this insurance element makes it worthwhile.

I've made a lot of bookings this year, and only recently (through the forum) found about about

www.insurance4carhire.com they do a one off insurance that covers you for these 'hidden extras'. 49UK Europe wide for a year 59UK if you include USA. Multiple voyages each year with a 31 day max per voyage (I think) A great idea for me. But they are havent responded yet to questions I emailed them about last week

For your information here is what I emailed them below:

Once I get an answer I will post the info..

Regards
Jon

Here is the mail they have not yet responding to:

I am interested in your insurance for Car Rental in Europe to cover any damages etc.

Please can you answer the following questions specifically:

1. I am required to take the 'standard cover' offered by the car rental people?
2. Can I reject any insurance offered by the renter and still be covered?.
3. I live in Belgium (UK citizen) can I buy this please? I see on the web form that I can put in Belgium as country of residence for example so I assume all is OK
4. If I rent with my wife as secondary driver, are we still covered please?

Did you get the instructions or do you still need them
