To be fitted with mega crane and grip n snip! Ash die back?

Spotted this in a well known sports retailer! Told the staff, "head office problem, DILLIGAF"!

The F1 motor museum has gone now. It is a bike shop and bikers cafe!

Wanted a holiday job before Poly. Asked Uncle for a labouring job and stayed. Went from self employed to being employed to the employer. Had 6 teams out but bad luck on my part and bad management on the side of the Utility company and it crashed after 18 years! Mother's side of the family had been contracting since before the First World War. Went to work for GreenMech so have technically been in the game (loosely) since 1982!

Needs to change his chipper blades too! Blunts as buggery!

Now appears to be a Sky spin off, £22 per month for the same speed that BT do for £28!

Look at the cheap bits first! Belts tight? Clutch good? Sensor okay? Valve got 12v supply etc? What makes you think it is the box?

I love the LR brand, learnt about crash boxes in the 1st registration in Hereford, had 8 different variants and got to admit, got bad issues with my D4 but, had plenty of trouble free stuff too. Older stuff has corrosion issues and electric gremlins. But a reliable thing is good!

Back in the 80's and 90's. We chipped and took to our yard. It was piled and turned etc for 4 months before we would consider using it as a mulch etc. We did a mix of work but mainly overheads..... One year, a chap brought the lot, paid delivery and rented a chipper and two blokes for twelve days to chip sawmill offcuts etc just to make woodchips. The European F1 was held at Donington Park and the forecast was bad, it was used for footpaths and access roads/gates and did the job well. I couldn't tell you what we got paid but it was worthwhile!

The winch has put a bike licence on her bucket list. Going to get some training and stuff before buying a learner 125. My knowledge ended with FS1E and the like! She likes "retro" looking stuff and I would rather put money into something less far east? What do folk recommend? I might even do this myself too!

I've done it with our beavertail, just got to watch the trailer jockey wheel. With a standard tipper, find a good way to secure the ramps on to the bed of the tipper.

"Hunting" can be caused by a poor damper that is now allowing the governor to open too much which then closes the throttle to stop over rev and the cycle continues. Try to tighten the clamp on the governor to see if that helps?

Hens teeth methinks!

Ingamex are the manufacturer of Ford commercial bodies.

As an alternative, these got a good report from a friend. Portfolio - Work and Welfare WORKANDWELFARE.COM Previous manufacturer approved and type approved conversions on pickups and vans

Still hurting after pulling out into the path of that car?

Got to admit, I find the whole process of dealing with this a shameful ball ache.mi had been with virgin for 17 odd years but crept up to over £100 pm for basically a single bloke who didn't stream films, games or use landlines etc. Approached them and got fobbed off with the comments "new customer only", "everyone in the house can stream and game at the same time", "no such thing as a loyalty bonus" and I hacked off with unintelligible call centre staff! So I went to BT. They made a rook of promises etc so I gave notice to Virgin and took the day off to await BT. The promised emails and tech calls never happened and so I called him. No answer.....I called the call centre who also discovered that the Techie never answered. His line manager then tells me he isn't coming, at all! They planned an urgent visit for some 4 weeks time......I cancelled and went back to virgin. BT cancelled the deal, apologised and put £20 into the account that I couldn't access for my bother... Virgin had some issues with the email system, security and trying to get fixed got too much after another year so back to BT. I had a rook of promises made about UK staff, no price hikes, best TV packages etc. But, within a few months, the three TV channels we watched most of had gone to Amazon etc...so I had to subscribe to them! Then the charges went up and the broadband starts to get intermittent! With the extra TV channels etc, the cost is rising to a point that I'd rather explore just having the subscription channels through rather than a landlines that hasn't even been used in 20 years and BT TV which has lost what I wanted it for!

Apologies for this, I'm sure the subject has been raised before... Been with a BT Package for a while and they have been, at best, okay. Although my first try with them was simply awful! But, what with Netflix, Now, Amazon, cast from tablet/laptop and ordinary TV etc, plus a lot of rugby going to Pay to view, I thing it is time to consider ditching a subscription TV Package that is marginal and £30 pm. I don't have a landline so just need a decent broadband supplier. What are your recommendations?

As Jase said start with a spark! Remove cleaning refit earth strap for one, check bonnet micro switch. Once you have a spark, then check for fuel.....

No chance of Veeing the wound and sticking it back together with the electric glue gun?

I went from contracting to working for GreenMech back in 1997 and even then, I had decided that the Transit sized stuff wasn't for tree work. Better of getting a 7.5t tipper and proper licence or even better, a shortened 10t tipper! Less chance of being overloaded or working the thing to beyond it's performance envelope all the time!

I used to get my Isuzu serviced at the Subaru dealship. I sat and had laugh with them one day at the folk who wanted to test drive the latest fast car but soonest cold feet when asked to produce their licence and asked how they intended to pay! He would ask if a colleague could do a credit check before they went to the forecourt! Soon sorted the buyers out!

To be honest, I can. A scruffy, shaven headed, be stumbled bloke, smelling of pig muck, in riggers, combats and dirty shirt isn't the archetypal buyer of an expensive 4x4. As a salesman, you have to be assured that the buyer can afford your product?

I'd give you the blokes number, then you can ask him the story direct? It may be embellished by him but the Sport was from a dealer in the neighbouring county!

I sometimes feel like shouting at my neighbours for their yapping dog, the autistic son rapping on the lawn and visitors parking in our street and not theirs! But then, I got two noisy cars and an 18ft trailer and truck in the street so live and let live!
