Here are several websites that owners have found useful or very useful. If you know of any others that you have found worthwhile please email me the address and I should be able to incorporate them into this list.
A possible source of information is to search for, say, 'Vectra forums' if you own a Vectra into Google or whatever search engine you prefer. This tends to bring up quite a list of useful sources.

Another two business links - as a small family based company we try very hard to give an exemplary service. As such we applaud any other company we have used who also aspire to this ideal. A company which services domestic machines, has no financial tie-in to us at all but has impressed us in the past with its service is www.instant-services.co.uk Their shop is a couple of hundred yards from Rochester Cathedral and they serve the area around the Medway Towns.
Another weird one on this very unusual website.
Quite a few years ago, probably ten or more I was travelling along one of our local rural roads and could hear the sound of church bells. The sound gradually got louder until I passed a picturesque church complete with a wedding party. I could hear the lovely sound of these bells for a considerable time as they broadcast out over a wide area of the good news of this couple. I thought to myself at this time that I could easily get interested in pulling bells like this but did nothing about it for years. Finally several years ago whilst researching my wife's ancestry I stumbled over the website of the church near her birthplace who were seeking learners for bell ringing. I find it quite fascinating and much more tricky that you would think. If you have good timing and good rhythm then you are halfway there. I have seen slim young women of no more than about seven stones controlling bells so much more easily than I can do. But then I am a terrible dancer, I suppose that they go together. You do not need much strength to pull a bell if you have good rhythm, even fairly big bells, I usually ring a bell that weighs about the same weight as a racehorse. Some of the bell ringing websites are obviously written by experts for other experienced ringers and are gobbledegook for learners like me but have a look at www.bellringing.org/belltower if you have an interest as it is easy-peasy or if you live anywhere near us then phone our booking number and I can ask our Tower Captain who knows a heap more than I do and is always very helpful.
Mentioned on the page on France is a website with a very extensive dictionary of French Food - unfortunately this seems to have been withdrawn now.
