Just about any tree job is a fairly swift affair, so just a short lived disruption. Tell them to 'man up' until the job is done! Job has to be done, omelette and eggs etc!

Vass' and Rocket Site at Misson! Used to gaze longingly at their offerings and stocklists and then their webpages!

I got a mate called Izal, he takes shit of no one!

My Bedford MK 4X4, I ran this for a couple of years then sent it off for a crane to be fitted and a sub frame or body to have the spades on blah blah blah. That was in 1997 and the picture was taken roughly 2010! I started working for GreenMech in 1998 and told the lad doing the work that he could have it! He left it for me to collect when I'm able!

Just doing Chicken Jambalaya which is good and not too much messing!

I got plenty leftover from my Hotrod project!

This was in my local Tesco and I always had a giggle with the girl. It disappeared a week after I posted it online, it had reached their head office and was removed from the counter! The power of the Internet!

Talking of tasty nosh that is quite quick? Chicken and Chorizo Jambalaya!

I just manage to undo a disc cutter or grinder by grabbing the disc and turning anti clock while holding the lock button!

Thinking if a 90 degree, 3/8 cordless impact. What you got? How much?

Does that mean I'm rich? Whoop whoop!
-
Did I? Seen it on other social media platforms too! Should have put a copyright on it, I could be a millionaire Rodney!

I'd love to know this picture went viral? I took it some years back at a little village show in Lincolnshire when supporting a dealer with a GreenMech chipper!

I got one that was doing sterling work but the forward/reverse control died. It has been sat for four years or more now. Just gauging interest.... Anyone?

Valid Complaint re Reversing Defender near a cliff edge?

Sold my MK1 RS2000 for £800 with a dented wing back in 1984. It had been a rally car before I had it! -
When my GreenMech Ranger was stuck in a garage, I had a D4 to use for the period. Got to say that the D4 had more 'presence', towed better and returned better mpg too. But if they go wrong, the cost plenty!

Take the oily timing belt cover off and it is wet behind too, it appears that there is a lot of oil around the throttle body and the filter! Get underneath and remove covers and the oil is really everywhere! Both sides of the block, the gearbox, the whole underneath will not rust! So, new timing belt, new throttle body sensors and maybe more once I really start to look. Right game.....

Saw a couple of the original stackable units in a yard in Hinstock, Shropshire! Very rare, but even a decent ordinary Lightweight is a rare site now too! Was in Rimmer Bros last week and they a D2, LSE and an early Freelander that were factory cutaway units....
-
Not an Arb truck but many use them..... Got to do timing belt and crank seal on mine tomorrow along with trying to correct a suspension fault and fixing parking aid. Even with a nanocam to plug into the OBD socket, things can be a struggle. Bloody thing! I love it and loath it....it is the 8th Landrover I've had over the years and you thing I'd learn my lesson....

A customer mine was telling me that the unit he uses cost something like a fiver per month and are right tiny. He hides a few on each machine so that if the buggers find one, something else is still transmitting!

I think we used some 50B sheet there, supposed to be thinner and stronger than other grades and the battle to keep below 750kg was real.

Welcome to the forum Treechick81, as Mick says, call the folks who took your dollars for the tune up. Some gas engines do take some time to get to good operation temp, but 5 mins does sound big! What engine is it running?
