A different use for the helmet cam. This is walking towards crib goch on friday evening last week, lovely and warm and clear skies at a bout 7pm. Its not edited, just chucked straight onto youtube so don't expect anything exciting to happen! You get the jist of how nice it is up there in the first minute, after that its just more of the same.

No he'll be a guest climber, he can win the UKI (as he has done a few times now) but not represent the UK at the worlds. Well done Rhys, bout time mate!! great job by Owen aswell!!

Thanks. Still some text to go on, but I havn't decided yet. You've been away, check my dual mass thread out, and if yours is dual mass get it changed to a normal one at the first sign of clutch problems. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/16812-ldv-transit-dual-mass-flywheel-clutch.html

Here ya go, 53 plate and low mileage (38,000) can look quite tidy, but I wouldn't sell this one for 5K !!
-
I guess you mean 3grand? Yes you will see bargains with LDV's, that is why they are so good. 05 plate that new would probably have high mileage which might be a problem. You can also get 02-03 plate ones with low mileage for the same sort of price, and they tend to be neater looking than high miles ones, but reliability is down to good servicign not miles (hi or low miles) I prefer low milieage and less dents scratches etc. then I know I can screw it up instead of buyign someone elses screw up. Don't touch any without the digital mileometer (before 02 I think) they are crap and the new ones (maxus??) isn't really an LDV and is not worth looking at. Soon they will be even cheaper than a good 05 LDV.

Thats sounds about right, and in that instance that you describe, the "subbies" are not bona fide sub contractors, they are just subbies for you for the day and included in your RA etc and H&S infrastructure as you put it, so under control of the main company and that companies insurance policies.
-
I'm sure they would, and do, have that condition already in Place Andy. Its no different to having to ensure that all employees have the right certs for the work that they do. But to be "pukka". the hired in help doesn't need to be AAAC. I've just realised this is in the AA section, not the general chat! So I'll keep my general chat type comments out and leave it to Paul to give the correct response.
-
Its the management and the staff at the time of the assessment. Lots changes in between without re assessment all the time. I've done rigging for AAAC assessments for other firms and my paperwork gets included in the whole package, then the firm can use me or anyone else once passed.
-
Yes, the "subbies" being used would have to pass the criteria for the AAAC assessment and subsequent re assessment but in the time inbetween he "could" use anyone he felt like!
-
Do you mean that you would pass all your work to other companies then? Or to other sole traders who hire in their own groundies etc? You can be an AAAC and only use self employed climbers etc if thats waht you mean, you don't need to use bona fide sub contractors. you can hire in your own staff as required.
-
One of these? Yes, its ok. Its a work positioning and fall arrest harness. You ony need the work positioning bit. You could remove the shoulder straps if you want to, but as long as you attach via the lower front attachment and use the side D's then it is a work position harness, so yes. Somoene else will probably quote an EN number or something that it hasn't got, and say that its not to be used at all ever, but essentially it would work fine and get you started.
-
Yeah, I think its too big! it will be ok. I got a small one on my car and that looks fine.
-
Not my mobile number, no way! I never answer it if I don't know who it is! If I do answer it I never right anything down and then I forget I even got a phone call let alone what its about! Home number only so it goes on answer phone and I can listen when I'm ready, once customers get a quote, then they will have my mobile number, but I still won't answer it!
-
I've got one of those already to carry the beers!
-
I was behind my subaru, getting the angle!!
-
I used to use an old promark one, similar but a bit bigger i think. Lethal. I'de have another tomorrow if I could, awesome kit!
-
Dunno, I only put them on today! They've been under the stairs for a year at least!!
-
The idea is thats once its done the new flywheel should last forever and then you just need new clutch plates everynow and then at much less expense.
-
Yep! Got some fishy fingers here as well!!
-
No worries, karma and all that!
-
Thats nice! Do you have employees? I think in terms of offering advice to others with LDV's or transits "get a mate to knick stuff for you" isn't really great advice!
-
Yes, I think they did that too, but the starter had not been on their long because the old one was clogged up with you know what!! Should have changed the clutch then too!
-
Hi, no worries. I've ordered an new AL-ko hitch online from somewhere. I also found a triplelock one that should fit but I chose against it.
-
Any stihl dealer should be able to get them for you, or look out for them at trade shows etc.
