  1. I had a ratchet strap holding the front down
  2. Doh! Knew I had forgotten something!
  3. Picked this up this morning...
  4. There used to be a place in Feltham called Tipco Tipper Mend Ltd. No idea if they are still there. Whats the issue with yours? Cheers...Al
  5. Cheers. That doesn't seem to take you to the last unread post though, but to the beginning of the thread?
  6. I found if you click the activity tab, one that looks like a dog eared page, then there is a box to tick for view unread posts. Tick this and then you see all unread posts.
  7. Pages are loading super quick now [emoji1360] Still can't watch videos without Arbtalk crashing though. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  8. Ok. Cheers Steve http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  9. Nice! Can I fill my lorry up? http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  10. You can find out the current status of a vehicle here https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla If a vehicle is not taxed it will say when it last was. There's another for checking mot history as well. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  11. Thanks. I'll have another look tomorrow.
  12. A starwheel is what I was hoping to find. I'll have another poke around, and if no good remove the hub bolts. Can't see any other way of getting the drum off. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  13. Anyone know how to get the drum off to inspect / change handbrake shoes and mechanism. Handbrake is pants at the moment. Had a quick look yesterday as mot today. Took wheels off and brake caliper. Couple of little rubber bungs I was hoping to find a little adjuster inside to move the shoes out, but couldn't find anything in there. Do you have to undo the 6 (might be more) hub nuts? Cheers...Al Tree Surgeon - Woking | Cormack Tree Care Ltd
  14. I'm covered by the AA as a driver /passenger so does the matter what vehicle I'm in up to 3.5t. Couple of times over the years the lads broke down in my Landy 130 and Daily. Pretended to be me and got picked up or fixed no problem.[emoji6] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  15. [emoji1360] Cheers Bob. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  16. Ok Cheers Bob. Is it a diy job changing springs or specialised? http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  17. Had an mot last week. Failed on a couple of things but not the springs. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  18. Noticed that at least two leaf springs are broken on the grab lorry. I can get the springs easily enough, but is heavy duty equipment needed to change them? Bit worried about ending up on the moon if i release something I shouldn't [emoji33] Cheers Al Tree Surgeon - Woking | Cormack Tree Care Ltd
  19. Never thought of that when my 18 tonner broke down a while ago. I've got you on speed dial now. [emoji1360][emoji23] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  20. The AA will do upto 3.5t. Came out for my old 130 tipper and chipper a few times http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  21. We've had three in the last two weeks - starling I think. Changed the cowl this evening to one with mesh on it, to stop them. Caught two in a sheet. Last one escaped into the sitting room leaving sooty marks in the ceiling [emoji35] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  22. I use Joist which is free. Saved a lot of time in the office for me. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  23. Have you not got a plant hire company locally who have one? Two or three plant hire places round me have avants or multiones http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  24. I think you'll find its mainly Scots pine with a bit of oak and Birch [emoji848][emoji849][emoji12] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk That was in reply to someone asking what the wood was, but post has gone now. [emoji5]
  25. Ok, Cheers Bob. I'll measure it tomorrow. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
