Loaders are a pain in the arse to strap in those trailers, the side lashing rings are all too high.

VW Touareg is a very good option as mentioned oil leak from engine/ gearbox can be common from around 60k miles on the 3l v6 diesel's but they are well made german machines

Yes, we will have to rethink out strapping down.

For interest, the Pinto Rig 2 beckett is rated lower than the Pinto Rig's btw.

Crank seal.

The last delivery of the goodies from Honey’s. Really impressed with the quality of rope logic stuff.

Lines have to be drawn somewhere 5th.

Nice that Mick, loads easier manoeuvre than the other one. Did you not fancy treating yourself to a new ratchet strap whilst you were there.

It sounds beyond awful.

"Swivel-eyed loons" !

Don't give up the day job 👍

I agree, why should we have minority groups constantly on the telly box?

China ?

experiences of some vehicles mentioned so far I had a regular length Land Cruiser, 2014, great family vehicle, as you would expect of it, diesels are a tad lackluster compared to the competition but are far, far more reliable. don’t go for the 7 seater - seats may fold down but you loose a good 30cm of depth in the boot girlfriend a 2004 rav4, as thirsty as the Land Cruiser, could remove all rear seats leaving a van like back which was good, needed to remove the removeable tow bar to open rear door though mate had an outlander, got rid as 4wd only started working above 5mph apparently worth bearing in mind, especially if you want 4wd to avoid lawn damage, is a lot of the soft roaders, the wheels need to spin before the 4wd kicks in……

Dad's Volvo (basically a Ford) has reversing sensors with a beep that particularly annoys me. You can turn it off by pressing a button on the radio when you've slipped it into (reverse) gear but if you then come out of gear and go back in, the beep comes back. Drives me mad.

New Ifor GF106 to pull the Avant. Tidy!

That is true, and it is annoying.

Given the unreliability of electronic systems in modern vehicles, often costing more to rectify than the vehicle is actually worth, why anyone would want to drive something that relied more and more on electrics, especially ai is beyond belief. even the basics ie; sat nav is flawed by multiple issues. and ai has already proved to be unreliable and inaccurate. I don't need a fecking machine to show me how to stay alive on the road, or anywhere else for that matter.

125 miles from Glasgow and 240 miles from Birmingham 😂😂😂😂 pain in the arse by train mind, who lives in Blyth office boy 🤷‍♂️

I'd come back to add that.

They aren't though. Every car I have driven with them on lets you disable but it resets it everytime you restart the car. I agree, lane assist is dangerous.

Well done Pete - good luck with the new venture! Good bits of kit the Ufkes - I’ve always been impressed when we’ve used them.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has an idea what might be wrong with my saw. 550XP mark 2 The first time the saw played up was after a full day of use and it seemed to be revving irregularly and too high. So instead of hitting top revs and being happy it sounded like the rev rate was 'irregular' and it wasn't sounding happy at all. So I started it the next day to see and it ran perfectly...revving correctly and sounding perfect. I used it for a couple of days and it didn't miss a beat........then it did it again after starting and running fine for about 5 mins. Any ideas?

That may invalidate your insurance, I know of someone who has been told by their insurance company not to turn 'safety' systems off such as lane assist. I gather some manufacturers systems are better than others and I hope they improve. Personally I found lane assist unsuitable for the roads around here as you tend to frequently drive over one side of your lane to avoid potholes, debris and emerging cars etc. The car I drove had a tendency to violently steer you into something it couldn't see. I know of a couple of people where the emergency braking has been applied for no reason.
