Travelling home from SkegVegas (Skegness) my offside wheel arch spat came of and nearly caused a serious access as the car ovetaking On the A46 swerved to avoid it.

1) has anyone else has this issue

2) where do i get a replacement for less Than £254

3) how easy are they to fit

My caravan is a swift conqueror 630 twin axle

Cheers Marcus

A company called "My Memory" sell it.  It's a sort of plastic putty that sets hard after a few minutes in fresh air. I've used it quite a bit - the best fix I have done with it was to fabricate a new plastic guide for one of the steel rods in the locking mechanism of our van's locker door.  It's still going strong after 4 years.
