The old TVs won't work but the new flat screen will and all our other equipment. I was going to buy a lot of new stuff until we got our quote for the move. It makes far more sense to take our own after all. Laury _______________________ *Laury* Spam post? If so please click here to report it

(Would you be taking a NEW one over, did I assume correctly, maybe you already have one you just want to take !) There are many large electrical outlets you could use once over in Spain. If anything goes wrong with your new product bought from the UK you'll have problems with its guarantee. Electricals sold in Spain have a TWO year guarantee, were you aware ? _______________________ Away till 24th October in Spain Spam post? If so please click here to report it

I thought this thread was going to be along similar lines. http://www.tony-hawks.com/riwaf.php _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post?

The problem we have found trying to buy an integrated fridge in Spain has been that they only seem to do the ones with a small freezer compartment.We will have a separate freezer so only want an integrated larder fridge. I can see that having a two year warranty would be preferable and maybe we should keep looking.We have looked through all the usual catalogues such as AEG,BOSCH etc but if anyone has further ideas please let us know. As for 'Around Ireland with a Fridge' Roberto,it sounds preferable to all the 'around Spain looking for a fridge' that we have had ! _______________________ ^{_{Gilly & John}} Spam post?

I've made 616 posts Send private message to bobaol	There are many places in your area which sell fridge/freezers of the type you want. Eroski in the Dos Mares shopping centre, Master Cadena in the Habaneras to name just two. Plus Carrefour, of course. And in the Mediterraneo shopping complex, just before you get to Cartagena, there is an electrical shop there which rivals Currys or Comet in UK for choice. There is also an outlet in the Mercadon centre at Playa Flamenca which has a catalogue and they will get anything you want. Old style TVs do work in Spain if you connect them through your video or DVD recorder. The sound and vision are on different frequencies to UK (PAL vs PAL Secam) so, with the older TVs, you get picture but no sound. Putting them through your Video/DVD matches the frequencies. Alternatively, you can get a small adaptation circuit to change UK TV from PAL to PAL Secam which will only cost about 20 euros or so for the conversion. (PS. many years ago (1986) I bought a multi system TV from the NAAFI in Cyprus. It works on any system in the world and is still going strong.) Spam post? If so please click here to report it

You may turn up a real bargain top of the range with a small dent on the back. Full 2 year warranty as usual. _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post? If so please click here to report it
