  1. 1 loose wheelnut?? hope you pointed out that theres 4 more and i was a landrover/volvo driving student too! (a 71 swb s11a truck cab, and a 440 with heated seats)
  2. That sounds georgous! id swap a 200tdi for that cummins!
  3. very smart!
  4. the landrover seems a bit of a wildcard entry considering how simmilar the other two are chipbox size wise
  5. sorry felix, whilst i was writing that reply, you posted! fair enough mate, good luck!
  6. i dont know what it was to be honest garth, was about 3/4inch thick that was one lucky job, the tree was behind/over a listed wall, when we pulled up this is what greeted us someone had come round the corner too fast and demolished the wall right under the tree! the lower part which was still standing we were allowed to clear out of our way aslong as we diddnt damage the bricks, result!
  7. FRANK, youre such an amature. . . you need a bit of my luck
  8. yve, are those sip trousers available in all round protection? they look smart, the sip ultras were awfull after a few months. felix, cheap trousers dont last, false economy and all that. . . 3 days a week but for how long? a decent pair of trousers, e.g stretch airs at £200give or take, will last 2 or more full time years, a cheap pair at the £100 mark may last 6 months full time
  9. to be honest i think it would be rubbish for tree work if youre looking at a swb 4x4, a LR90 i think would be best, got to be the easiest 4x4 to modify for tree work and cheapest to modify too. . . looks like a work vehicle too rather than a school runabout
  10. my mate owns one, hes a landscaper and got a SWB like the one above, bounces around like a jack in the box when towing (5-6inch greenmech) tiny rear (simmilar or smaller than a LR90) i liked the engines power though, and comfort (when not towing!) cruise happily at 80 (unlike a LR!) struggled to get my 046 with 25inch bar in the back even diagonally, rakes ect are a real struggle, imo not enough room to carry climbing bag lowering bag, climbing saws, ground saw, felling saw, fuel, blower ect without stacking everything ontop of each other thought of a hilux surf commercial? discovery commercial?
  11. classic looks mate! why do you think you need a 4x4/small pickup
  12. cheers, dependant on dates i may come
  13. plans slowly ticking along id love to have a rummage around there! getting a divorse at 80?? crikey!
  14. whats being sold phill??? and yeah drink always is good
  15. thats one hell of a butt dave! would love a copy of that photo, would pay a fair price! flaming ace, do you still use that matador? a mate keeps trying to twist my arm into having his old one to restore . . . .
  16. okey doke pete, if doing a job where i fill our lorry, and theres more loads there, ill give you a buzz

  23. stevie, yes it is, if i had a house/workshop id have it! mr ed, id hope so i dont like the sound of a cut of nothing!

  25. and with practice let them summersault in the air on their decent to land flat
