:laugh1: that’s precisely the kind of utter bullsh!t that doesn’t help your case because I KNOW it hasn’t as I ordered 1000L of kero today for delivery to one of my industrial building for delivery on the 5th Jan and it was 49.73p/L inc VAT so it was cheaper than 16 days ago. However I do know that that almost every fuel supplier in snow affected area at the beginning of the month has a backlog of orders that they have got to get on top of along with keeping up with there normal orders this time of year, there is NO shortage of fuel its just a shortage of tankers and drivers to get back on top of things quickly which is why some fuel supplier are refusing to take on new customers until the end of the first week in Jan and others are giving silly high prices to discourage new customers unless they are fool enough to tie into the high price for post xmas delivery. On the other hand if you talk about gas oil then yes that has gone up because ULS gas oil cost 1.5p to 3p more per L than the old gas oil of 1 month ago and agened fuel suppliers are faced with a backlog of orders. DERV has gone up a little due to the quantity now being dyed red to get ULS gas oil (which has also pushed up ULS gas oil a bit to), however if base stocks for petroleum fuels had gone up by 40% they it would have gone up by 40% at the pump which it hasn’t.

I really don’t care who offers figures but <5.55KWh/kg is as good as it gets for the best dryest firewood and the reality is most seasoned hardwood <20% moisture by weight is in the range of 3.7 to 4.6KWh/kg and this is backed up by multiple governments documentation not just in the UK but in the EU. Also on the 1st Dec I paid 50.35p/L for kero (inc VAT), 1000L of kero is 10210KWh which is 4.93p per KWh, that is an undisputable FACT because kero is known to be 10.21KWh/L or ~12.72KWh/kg (1L = ~0.802kg)

Its cheaper than some of the charlatans on hear who are paying silly amounts to buy in wood, so if your happy with the monetary returns then ignore the aforementioned charlatans trying to justify what they sell it for or there business modals.

firewood 9.35KWh/kg :laugh1: you bunch of fools that more than coal! firewood is <5.55KWh/kg for hardwood

if you look around on youtube you will find Rip Saw II

Its ok criticising people who sell cheaper than you, but it all depends on where you get your wood from and what your main business is. If you just sell firewood thus have to buy in timber then its actually YOU that is out of step with price and charging to much vs. someone who firewood is a mere small sideline and means of disposing of arisings from there main business activity as saleable product. loosely stacked/piled, “seasoned” hardwood logs for £80 to £100 per 1m3 is a joke necessitated by buying wood to convert in the first place

Diesel engines are worse for running-on than petrol when the atmosphere is laden with flammable gas, oilfield exploration/refinery trucks that are diesel have cut-off valves on the air intakes so you can shut them down

what has 3 strand got to do with anything

err I ordered one this morning from a different place (HD motorsport hero) as I didn’t hear anything from you.

Remember using balancing beads you should be using filter valves so the valves don’t get clogged. Also I would argue that in situations ware tyre load (and the physical weight of the assembly) and vehicle weigh are well matched then beads would be ok to use with relation to bumps in the road, however in situations ware maximum tyre load capability along with its assembly weight well exceeds what the vehicle can impose via its weight then road bumps will cause problems as the sine-wave steepness of upward movement (steeper/faster) will differ greatly to downward movement (shallower/slower) due to the speed difference between upward and downward motion, which would cause imbalance each time an upward bump is driven over as the balance beads rely in part on a reasonably uniform tyre/suspension tuning rather than one that is more mismatched As mogs could fall in the category of tyres which have a much higher loading than the vehicle can impose so they could be treated in the same way as large American pickups with commercial tyres on instead of SUV tyres, in that balancing beads manufactures recommend NOT to use balancing beads in this situation

I would start with just the 13 or so properties which would be easy to draw up boundaries paralleling there currant garden boundary giving them all about the same area, then rather than just going knocking if they don’t know who you are why not prepare a little prospectuses to post to them stating who you are with a plan of the land showing there houses too, tell them that you were thinking of selling the land at the rear of there houses and with them being neighbours you thought you would offer them all the chance to buy a swath of land to the rear of there currant property at a very reasonable affordable price that would add value to there property far exceeding the purchase price of the relevant swath. Tell them the price is e.g. >£1K to <£1.5K #1 + they pay all the solicitor/conveyance fees etc relating to the specific sale/transfer of the plot they purchase, however it is reliant on a majority of them undertaking to purchase for it to be viable alternative to you just selling all the land to another person. #1 = there is no point in being overly greedy or you just wont sell most of them. Once you have gauged the take-up/sold-on the frvrable 2/3 of the site you could set about formulating a plan for the least favrable 1/3.

Its only worth what someone/people are willing to pay for it. Value is only really truly attributable once sold, if something doesn’t sell then its NOT that value but something lower. However it will be worth more sold as garden extensions however not everyone will want or have the funds to buy extensions to there garden at silly prices and once you start selling off swaths you can then be left with bits of land that get marooned as far as accesses is concerned which means easement/wayleave must be imposed to secure access to the marooned land (and for ALL owners) which in its self will devalue any plots because of the right of access across plots for potentially e.g. 19 different owners. Also if only say <50% of the home owners take up the ground leaving marooned plots or even plots with easement/wayleave for access then that in its self devalues the remaining unsold plots as there will be great resistance to you doing anything else with the unsold land. Thus you would do better to guarantee a very high percentage of plot sales by offering them at a reasonable price most/all can afford like £1k per plot (less for the narrow/short plots) but at the one end of the site the houses/garden boundary’s don’t lend them selves to make parallel plots, thus that make that end of the site worth much less as extensions to gardens.

You also have to account for any easements/wayleave or covenants imposed by past owners of the land which can be anything from forbidding you from braking it up into smaller lots, any change in use or even you only owning the surface of the ground and the original owner retaining all the minerals beneath the ground and the right to access them, along with any accesses restrictions, etc, etc, etc. The above can substantially change the value of any land.

And what were you doing searching for PVC on youtube!

so whats going on with this then? i did PM you my name and a contact number etc.

Looks like a perfect opportunity to cut it off at ground level and to show the feeble minded locals that its not 2000 years old and that they should get a grip on reality & fact rather than peddle the gibberish they do.

Stanley works (as in the hand tools people) own Facom, Facom own Britool & Sykes Pickavant (and a few others)

My previous land rover main gearbox (LT77) and transfer box (r230) did 425K miles wile i had it, the engine was replaced at 60K (when i got it) so did 365K miles with a Peugeot 2.5N/a, and in 1995 it got written off so I bought it back and put a new chassis and axels under it as well as 2 wings and a bulkhead, hence reaching the mileage it did when I sold it, it is still used every day by its currant owner who is a friend, though he put a 200tdi engine in it as he didn’t like the Peugeot 2.5N/a, though my self I prefer Peugeot 2.5 to LR 200/300tdi because of the Peugeot’s flat rating and willingness to pull at any RPM.

Its all to do really with what you intend to do and ware your going. I know a couple of people from around the world who have both LC & LR at their disposal and they recon both have there uses and there strengths lie in different places hence the need for both, but most will use the LR for extremes of terrain or ware this is going to be lots of harmonic corrugation (washboard road surface) or know they will incur damage on whatever vehicle they take, but at other times they prefer the LC. If you weight the above up logically leaf-springs vs. coil-springs and linkage, or welded body vs. bolt together or good reliability but high parts cost vs. being a bit less reliable but much cheaper parts cost. If I owned Land Rover I would have approached things a little like a truck maker would have used a remote transfer box, galvanised chassis from the factory, forged one piece rover axel casing (as per the mil-spec ones made by LR Australia in the past) then offer engine and transmission options from different manufactures so down the life of the vehicle it would be easy to re-power with different engines + transmission dependent on the market it was sold in. If LR had done the above in 1985 by now they would have the ultimate <3.5t GVW 4x4 that would sell well the world over.

what did you do to it to cost £25k in one year on maintenance I know a set of 445/70R24 XM47 or AC70G can knock a big hole in £2.2k and mechanics at >£55/h can but how?

MPG = >7 with a big trailer loaded, <14 empty on a long run, or about x2 to x2.5 times the fuel that a LR td5 would use. tax = from £0 to £200 dependent on taxasion class insurance = £250 to £750 licence requirements = B or C1 or C1+E or C or C+E dependent on taxasion class

I had a little problem with my mog in the past with a little bit of clear jelly-like matter causing fuel starvation, it got into the course in-line fuel filter then flattened out into a cling-film like substance on the mesh within the in-line filter then would act as a 1-way valve, in that you couldn’t blow threw it one-way but you could the other. However it had quite a lot of DERV mixed with SVO in the months before, but I will still use DERV/SVO mix as and when I want.

i will buy one
