I had a transit that cost a fortune to repair and an ldv that i spent over a grand on in less than 6 months. the land rover on the whole costs less to repair.

You should also remember that British 300tdi engines were no longer fitted from 1998 making the engine at least 15 years old. How many jap trucks are still on the road after 15 years, the last 5 of which have probably not had as much care in the way of servicing as previous. When looked after and serviced land rovers are not really any more unreliable than other marks Japanese or otherwise. in over 10 years of ownership of land rovers I've blown a half shaft and a transfer box. The only other problems are parts that wore out through heavy work which were replaced.

I don't see a problem with address mine can be found right over the internet even though it ain't on my website. Google places puts a map to help people know where your company is based

I run 13mm it doesn't self tend unless I have a significant amount of rope already hanging

My thoughts would be an inclusion of some description particularly as sounding hasn't identified anything untoward but fibre buckling is still a possibility.

Need to do my chapter 8 so I am a bit more covered for roadside stuff and also have a potential opportunity for a lot of stump grinding if I have chapter 8. I'm just a bit confused as to what training I really need.

You need to work out your overheads im terms of your time, machine cost to run and maintain and to pay for. Also your insurance overheads etc. Only upu will no what your overheads are and how much profit you want to make off a job.

One of mine is tweaked and on a standard box. Towing 3+ tonne will maintain 60+ without a problem and easy getting there. The other isn;t tweaked but has a lower ration box in and will maintain 50 loaded or otherwise. It ain't quick but will get there. For me tweaking the pump ain't about going quicker as such more about being able to maintain the speed and getting to it in a more efficient manner.

Tweaking the pump will give a little extra smoke but it makes a huge difference to the performance just don't over do it.

Pay by the load for transit and smaller

Formby bypass on new causeway. It is just south of Formby.

Pulley works fine. I've a wire core with a 6 wrap prussic and pulley. On 4 wraps it seemed to slip on 6 works fine. Pulley works a treat.

A lap top would cost you 100 quid for something that will do internet and word.

even though the literal translation of the Latin is Jews ear.

There is a pay site at kenyons lane culceth 20 quid a tip.

You will learn step cut on 31. Spear cut isn't really a proper technique in terms of your 31

I don't see the problem of being self employed and having sign writing on other peoples jobs. Builders do it, utilities companies so it etc etc. If people want me with my tipper it is sign written. One contractor I have a working in partnership sign on it as a compromise.

I've took the angle grinder to mine on occasion

Very rarely climb with gloves though I do like fingerless gloves if its a bit on the cold side. Think I have some dewalt fingerless gloves and they are ok

Treelife ain't bad to get to. I go from Wigan doing the level 4. Set off at 6.45am and there well in time for it to start. Coming home can be a pain but am usually back by 7.30pm. Long day but well worth it

They sound like the same two scrotes who have been having fun round upholland and skem.

7-9k is alot to spend on a van. You'll get something that looks right and probably will last well for less than 5k. I started out with a 800 quid van. Then progressed to a 4k ldv which was underpowered but looked right. Finance is good if you have work to pay for the finance. Likewise having the kit can generate work.

I'll try and find exact quote. I know full well i wouldn't be using two ropes though i get one tangled enough.

had i bought one so would i. It says do not cross load so try and avoid it. I certainly wouldn't have cross loaded it and repeatedly shock loaded the device to cause failure. I also think they are fantastic but then i was on a prussic before that.
