    Try and find a NRV to fit before the filter to stop leak back, maybe strip the mechanical lift pump as it may have rubbish in a valve prevent a good suction/pump.

    Awake stupid early, hopefully back to sleep in a bit! Cold out but no snow. TFI FRIDAY! Seeing a couple of folk and got a big chipper on the back of the car. 14", 140hp, crane and hand feed, fully remote etc, just got to learn how it goes..... Then off up to hers, no doubt catching a few in the brewshed later too. Gym, Pansy.

    Anyone got an Evoque or other Land-rover product that has suspension position sensors? The missus' Evoque had a new wishbone fitted and the drop link to the sensor was bust. I got a new sensor but the drop link seems to be in need of adjustment (cheap kin imported shite) but the fixing the the wishbone is lost! Does it just press fit over a stud or is there a bush or just a bolt? What size thread in to the wishbone? M5, M6, M8?

    Brian had been in the Rhodesian war as part of an elite unit, The Selous Scouts. He wore full overalls in the bush which included a hood as part of his camo outfit. He had to crouch down one day on patrol, overalls down while scanning left and right with his FN to his eye. Finished, used the pebbles, hitched up his overalls to find a dump in the hood! The rest of the S & D patrol was bad.....

    I have a story about this..... A long time ago, a GreenMech Service Engineer had to go off into the countryside to mend a chipper left on a storage site. While at this farm industrial units, he felt the urge to go. The loo for these units was frankly awful so he elected to find and alternative.... The Vito van had two side doors and a rear, top hinged door. Brian decided to hover over a newspaper. He pulled the rear door down on the gas struts, had his overalls etc around his ankles, held on to the shelving and set about the process. There was a whoosh and it went lighter as the door was raised by a gust of wind. The sight or thought of Brian, staggering about, trying not to soil his overalls or tread in his product while reaching behind trying to shut the door will stay with me for a while!

    I'm told that it was one of many that had issues.

    GM sued Jensen. Not for big bucks, but a 'cease and desist '. It took months and cost several hundred thousand pounds. Jensen did it really because Redwood indicated that the Rail industry was largely took over by GM. TW now own the Intellectual Property so can fit it to their other models. The Safetrac patent ended recently but was superceded by the SureTrac patent. Jensen also copied, or so I am told, the Predator grinder off Patrick Watts as he refused to let the British Jensen importer have access to that! I have been reliably informed that Redwood did develope their own version as well as a skidsteer type loader too.

    Morning Team, my head is fried with what I've to do and the info I got to take on board with this new stuff. May even have sold one already, will know shortly!

    They had a factory in Poland but shut that down. For a while, some fabs where made in Brum but not sure now. India? China? Eastern Europe? It isn't beyond the bounds of reason to suggest that other Alamo brands could be fabricated and assembled at Alcester? Rayco, Boxer, Morbark but for that 'European ' feel and finish without the transatlantic crossing?
