  3. That's fine Old Mill, I only charge £10 a cubic m! Kettles always in this house. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Backhurst in Normandy take chip, not sure of the charge though. Failing that tip it in Jonny Burch's driveway I'm sure he won't mind :-D Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. I did after the spring snapped! Also there are two rubber blocks over and under the spring at each end, my old ones were very perished.
  6. All done and nicely lifted now! Worst part was getting all the old corroded nuts and bolts undone. Before with a broken spring: Other side With new spring No more dragster looking
  7. Alive and kicking later once I figure out how to remove the old spring...
  8. Ok. Spring came from Paddington Springs in Wembley.
  9. Front, the rear has been done and truck looks like a dragster! Front spring broke the other day after falling down a pot hole grrrrr.

  12. Searching on the iveco forum, it appears Midland Springs do an updated spring that can raise the front 2 1/2 inches. Also the rubber bits are moveable to 3 different positions giving different heights and ride comforts. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Cheers, I will keep this in mind when the tyres need changing. Only just done one due to a bubble in the sidewall:blushing:
  14. Hi Johny, It is a 2002 35c11. I haven't seen any torsion bars when I was doing the shocks earlier.
  15. I didn't realise there was a spring between the two front suspensions until earlier, so will check this out in the morning. Seeing if Midland Springs do a heavy duty version.
  16. Hi all, Has anyone uprated their front suspension on a 35c11 Daily? Mr Burch, the previous owner, uprated the rear so truck sits high at the back and low at the front. I went down a pothole earlier and fubared the near side shock absorber! Fitted a new pair but the near side is still nearly 2 inches lower than the offside? Any ideas? Cheers...Al
  17. Douglas Fir has gone now. Thanks. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app

  19. Desperately need a full time climber on the books, usual nptc's required, immediate start available. Contact info above. Cheers. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. More usually known as Nyssa sylvatica.
  21. I have one fallen Corsican Pine and one to fell on Monday next week. Crane on hire so should get the trunks out in 10-12 ft lengths. One is around 3ft in dia and the other 2 1/2, plus a secondary stem of around 18". Is anyone interested in the timber? I have a hiab coming to pick the trunks up, so can be delivered within Woking/Guildford area. Cheers...Al
  22. Good to meet you last night for a beer and grub Paul! Will try and meet up next week again when you are back. That jam looks like the entrance slip onto the M3 at Bagshot. What time was that, as we went down it at 7.10 this morning and it was clear as a bell? Cheers...Al
  23. We have a selection of 5ltr fuel cans and a couple of Combi cans. Fill them up at the garage with exactly 5ltr in each. Each truck has a 1ltr stihl 2 stroke oil bottle, the sqeezy one with the measuring chamber at the top, and mix up as we go. When the Combi is empty decant a normal can into it using the spout thet come with. Never had a wrong mix or spillage in 30 years. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Grandma is driving Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She*writes a letter to her Grand-daughter: Dear Grand-daughter,* The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker ..* I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting..* So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.* Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.* I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed.* It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.* I found that lots of people love Jesus!* While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!'* 'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'* What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!* Everyone started honking!* I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.* I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!* There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach.* I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.* I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.* He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.* Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back.* My grandson burst out laughing.* Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!* A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.* I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.* So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection.* I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.* So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!* Will write again soon,* Love, Grandma Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
