That's my kind of job, no messing about with rigging, just bash it down. Particularly like the big spear cuts at the beginning. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Not easily as far as I know, the audio system is integrated with the satnav/climate contro, etc and gets very expensive if you start tinkering with it.

No, D22 was engine problems mostly. Early D40s including mine had an issue with the rear axle. Basically a breather would become blocked, and then once it got hot it would blow one of the hub seals out. The axle would then run dry and obviously wear out very quickly. I had the seals done on mine and changed the breathers. Newer models are not affected.

I do a fair number of big journeys, 150-200 miles plus. Did Cambs to south Cornwall non stop in 6 1/2 hours once...... It's not a car and it doesn't ride like a car, but I like the seating position and prefer it to a lot of cars tbh. Mines had a uj, seals on rear axle, and usual brake pads and tyres, but I count all that stuff as normal wear and tear.

I have a 2006, bought it 4 years ago with 40k on the clock, done over 100k in it without any major problems. I do a lot of heavy towing and off road driving, it's not the best off road but it's ok.

I use sticky signs in littleport. Cambs.

Why didn't they wrap the plastic panels? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

So its probably a poplar then.

Because it's 8.30 in the evening and it's pitch dark.

There is a link between allergies and parasitic worms, which are mainly spread by treading in turds.

My missus has been using it for the opposite reason, i.e. to regain weight. She has a demanding job and we have two small children, and she just never got around to eating proper food during the day. Now she can see at a glance what she has or hasn't eaten and compensate accordingly. It appeals to the geeky natured, and it really is illuminating.Whatever you think you eat in terms of overall calories, and how that is split between protein, fat, and carbs, I can guarantee a weeks food diary will show you different.

With the app, if it has a barcode you scan it and it retrieves the info from an online database. With homemade stuff chances are someone will have added it or something similar already, the hardest part is calculating the portion size.

There are some great smartphone apps that you can use to track your food intake, try doing it for a week and see what you actually eat rather than what you think you eat. I can practically guarantee you aren't eating enough protein.

All I can see is a big stack of firewood.

Please digress re difference in working in bc. Are you working longer hours?

You could also use a tennis ball with two holes cut in it, I prefer the less gear intensive solution usually.

You can put it through the IVA yourself, any standard design of tipper body will pass ok.

It's as good as the tyres and the driver. Iv got mine stuck a fair bit, mostly towing a big heavy trailer, but in general it's ok off-road.

That makes sense! Iv used disc blades and square ones in the same machine, and much prefer square ones. You get an extra turn for one thing..... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

If you've never used square blades how would you know the discs are better? Iv used both, and I'd have the square knives every time. I don't chip any rebar though. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Agreed, arborist is far too pretentious for moi. I'm not a surgeon either, iv never performed any procedure other than multiple amputation or killing. I'm a cutter, I cut trees, either some off the top or the whole thing at the bottom. End of. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
