    we just hire some traffic lights out from a local tool/plant hire company for £50 quid a day, inc T/L signs & the STOP HERE signs. and use our own cones/blue arrows/men at work signs go for battery operated ones rather than generator ones as battery dont have any wires on the road

    id be looking for a mot faliure 200tdi disco mate, which has failed on something other than the engine, but which is still running and driveable so you know the engines running well. the swaps been done plenty of times so im sure its well documented on the net. tried Land Rover Owner International magazine - lro.com ? and pay youre mechanic mate to help you do the mods, sell anything of use from the remaining discovery, and scrap the rest-get a few quid back if not, break it . . . how much for the wheels??

    diddnt even notice it had a load on! no change in sound when it was tipping-diddnt struggle a bit prob helps that the weight is over the rear end more because we cut the front off the original tipper bed. lets hope it doesnt bend the chassis again! think i'll need to fit some heavier duty springs though for any bigger loads, or inserts

    could it be an idea to ring the bark say a foot below the fractures to increase the ecological niche habitat? and to give a stag headed look? my only problem with this particular example is that if someone had done the same % reduction on the oak, but instead of fractures just cut the branches the once, it'd be a topped tree, and we'd be slating it, e.g http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/27-general-tree-pics-423.html#post199326 seems to be a fine line between bad arborcultural practice, and cutting edge ecological benifits ?

    quick update, doesnt look any different, but the hydraulics are now all plumbed in, cheapest way possible! 2nd set of new rear lights went on-1st set melted as too close to exhaust hydraulic bits and oil have now doubled the cost of converting to £170 give or take before the new year i hope to have new wheels and tyres, build the chip box and have had the tool box in the gap between the ram and the power pack fabricated thanks again to steve, and sorry to trisha for steeling him in the evenings

    i wouldnt use saturn knives, was very dissapointed, actually appalled at their service. sent a pair of blades that had been incorrectly sharpened by a groundie-he made them the wrong angles, they just followed those angles-despite their blurb: 1 degree towards mayhem or 1 degree towards contentment?? Believe it or not when your blades are not re-sharpened to the required OEM spec you are putting your machine through unnecessary stresses that will have an impact on your machines performance and eventually the moving parts. At Saturn Machine Knives Limited we will ensure your blades are returned to the original specification - not to the angle that is currently destroying your machine!! they did not sharpen blades to OEM specification

    dbh wouldnt really work-a yew, mullberry, oak even would take hundreds of years to acheive 1m dbh, where as a chestnut, syc, pine, lime ect under/around 100?

    isnt this what tpo's and tree officers are for? protecting our valuable trees? perhaps, there could be a scheme to add to the tree officers workload-where trees with tpo's are then categorised into 3 levels depending on the trees value-the lowest level needing only one tree officer/consultants permission, the highest needing 3 independant tree officers/consultants permission for works to be carried out but then thats more red tape!
