I wouldnt worry about parts for the ldv, there will be plenty at the breakers yard!
-
Are you shortening the overhang then?

White horse walks into a bar, the barman says, hey we have a whisky named after you! The horse looks confused and replies, what, Eric?
-
My stein has gone on the poles too, but the new faltheimers arnt as good as the old ones either.
-
Its cool.
-
56,000 miles?! Its probably been around the clock twice!
-
Those skips are 40 cubic yards though, not cubic metres.....

Nothing personal, but the legal technicalities are all laid out on the vosa website. If you or anyone else wants to know what the rules are you should download and read them rather than relying on what your mate down the pub or some bloke on an internet forum said. And thats all i'm going to say.

Yes. He later joined again under a new username and tried to pretend it wasnt him that posted all that nonsense.

That works, bucket truck looks pretty ropey.

I could be wrong, but I think the ldvs in that age bracket have the older transit engine and gearbox, ie the same as the smiley face transits, which is why i would rather have one of them. I know someone who runs a chipped 125 crewcab, i think its up to about 155-160 hp, but eats a clutch every 8000 miles, regular as clockwork.
-
The older smiley face style transits had a completely different engine, still 90hp but a real chuggy plodding type engine. The newer shape 90hp is just gutless and needs a damn good thrashing to get anywhere.
-
They all have one major problem, eating clutches, and the more power you go for the worse it is. Not good for towing imo, too revvy and not torquey enough. I would rather have the ldv or iveco in that age bracket.

Since the genus Lonicera is named after a german botanist, i fail entirely to see what Latin has to do with anything.
-
Not everyone tows.
-
There was a thread about it on here only a few months ago. I cannot belive that anyone who operates 3.5 tonne vehicles and tows trailers doesnt know about this.
-
Hmmm, might try some of that for a vt!
-
The reason for not filing the outsides is to prevent them from getting too narrow and possibly breaking. If you've only done them a few times then this wont be an issue.
-
If the combination has a total maximum authorised mass of more than 3.5 tonnes, yes. Unless you are claiming an exemption.
-
Nothing on at the mo, but i'll let you know if anything comes up.
-
For sure. Are you climbing this time?
-
I would happily have this man on my team, if you ever need work up this way give me a shout Will.

Hardwood suitable for putting through a firewood processor is going to be £40 per tonne. If its being sold by the tonne you are quite entitled to ask for a weighbridge ticket. You cant get legally get 27 tonne on a rigid 6 wheeler in this country btw.
-
How does the tax man know you have your own pl insurance anyway? Even if he did know it wouldnt make the slightest difference, if you work regular hours for a company hmrc will say you should be PAYE, no arguments.

Cool, cheers. I regularly have 10 tonne loads of decent round timber, so I'm always on the lookout for new buyers.
