I just spotted this on Age Care's page. It's massively helpful for those based here in Spain 👍🏼

I love it when I am given an out of the ordinary challenge. Who knew that it's actually quite difficult to get longer hoses for a Karcher 🤷🏻‍♀️? Searching online was impossible as I couldn't be sure that the connectors were right. Karcher themselves were as much help as a chocolate teapot. Put my investigation hat on 🧐 and found this wonderful treasure trove of Karcher repair shop. You cannot imagine how happy the little Spanish owner made me!! 🤩....my glamorous exciting life in Marbs 🤣🤣

In case any Spanish vehicle owners still haven't got theirs - Ordered the V16 lamp for my car from Amazon. 40eur. After double checking that it's approved by DGT ✔️. Arrived in good time. Instructions are in English and Spanish. Opened lamp, took seal off battery. Pressed button quick on and off to check it works. Job done. Packed away safe in the car now ready for the law which comes into effect from 1st January 👍🏻

Finally we have some clear explanation from CAB Spain. Thank you 🙏🏻

Interpreters for Andalucia Health Centres. Notices in some centres prompted me to call this Salud Responde this morning.

Salud Responde stated it has no record of any regional policy requiring patients to bring their own interpreter.

They confirmed the posters were not issued by them or by a regional health authority and are not an official SAS requirement.

They explained that the public health system already provides an interpretation/translation service that clinicians can access when patients do not speak or understand Spanish.

Crucially, they emphasised that patients are not obligated to hire, bring, or pay for their own interpreter to receive care.

Any requests to bring someone who speaks Spanish are appearing to be local clinic level suggestions, not a binding regional policy.

Salud Responde’s official position as conveyed to me on the phone this morning is that the interpreter posters do not reflect a regional directive, and patients are not required to bring an interpreter to receive health care.

Official translation service already exists

The SAS actually includes a tele-translation/interpretation service via Salud Responde that covers many languages and is available to clinicians to use when needed, so language support is already built into the public system.

Please download the "Salud Responde" App.

Added to respond to questions from other regions. Healthcare is a national right in Spain. Regions manage services but cannot require patients to bring an interpreter. Language difficulties do not remove the right to care.

It's taken nearly a year for this construction error to raise it's head in this luxury build. When they mounted the very expensive wooden drawers on the bathroom wall, they punctured the Aircon drain😬. Eventually it started to drip and MF was asked to investigate. This is the second time I have come across this situation this year😔. MF will of course organise the fix, but SO frustrating.

From 1st January 2026 all cars registered in Spain will have to have the new digital V16 emergency lamp (replacing the old triangle). This info link has all the information, a list of the approved models and also info sheets in different languages 👍🏻
