Also once in a while instead of a nice clean BEEP it seems to issue a strangled sort of quacking sound.   It was said on another thread here somewhere that their batteries can wear out after a couple of years, and that one can just hand them in/send them back and be issued with a new one.

Have just ordered one of these on the easy peasy Sanef website - tried to find it on the Cofiroute site and couldn't - perhaps it was me being dense? Anyway with the doofer I shan't have to hold up the traffic when I too jump out of the car, drop my keys, forget the card or the money, dash back for it/them and then stall the engine in my rush to clear the barrier. Women drivers - huh.    Report

Had to give ours up, much to our regret, as it couldn't be read by the sensor in our Peugeot 807.  It worked fine when we had a 'normal' height car, but it wasn't interested in the new higher, steeper windscreen.  The lady at Boulogne could not have been more helpful, but even she had to admit defeat after 2 round trips with different doofers! We've now had to resort to using the credit card lanes when it's busy, but they're not accessible if we have the roof box on as we're over height then!  Oh, how I miss my days as an MG owner...no barrier was too low then!   Marie    Report

We got ours in February, used it for the first time outwards in March and back over the Easter Bank holiday. It was great, no queuing.  We have a Chrysler Voyager which is a bit taller than normal cars but we found by putting the doofer holder lower down the windscrean (just below and to the left of the mirror) it worked a treat.  No more acrobatics out of the car window to pay etc. We bought ours on the SANIF website, it was easy and we asked for an extra holder for our second car, no problems at all. wish we had bought it years ago.

I have been charged twice for a trip from Rouen to Alencon on the A28 on 14 April. I gather that this is not uncommon with this new bit of autoroute, so check your bills. Brian.    Report

I had to drive over to Paris for a meeting as all the flights and hotels were full of Arsenal fans. Got it over the counter at the Dozule toll on the A13 just outside Caen. Just great when you are driving on your own..... Jim (Oxfordshire and Manche)    Report
