What size stuff you got to do?

Lol Farmers COULD claim back IF they are in the wrong band. Just like everyone's else can.

Do they?

How about a large ish bore steel pipe fitted to the return? Have it made to wind back & forth in the space you have. Even a long flexi pipe would work as long as the bore is not causing more heat to be made. Re the hot fitting, is all the pipe work & tank hot too? If not it might be that the fittings are too restrictive for the flow.

Assuming your 60mph you think you were doing is right, No NIP in post is my bet. 60mph on speedo will be about 55mph for real. If your local police use the recommended formula then, 50mph limit + 10% + 2 = 57mph. Or NIP in post but when asked for the photo they will see the Transit actually set the speed camera off not you.

Also the water is not counted. Thats another 5-12kg.

Mightiest be easier to fit a clamp on jockey wheel but remove the wheel & fit a foot plate. Will have to look at the space. Or go the whole hog and fit hydraulic levelers. http://www.caravanservicecheshire.co.uk/caravan-and-motorhome-levelling-system-ep-hydraulics/

Great. Only done about 15 tonne so far but still pleased. A few things need modding. 1, weld a handle on to the "fixed" bed so you can move it easier when setting up and putting away. 2, short starting handle and rope so the oh can reach the splitting guard. 3, another starting handle and longer rope instead of the costly splitting levers. 4, add a PTO pump (not to bad a fuel consumption is not bad) 5, upgrade the trailer (fit brakes and re sva to 900kg) part as it is right on the 750 kg no brakes limit, poss even over with full tank of fuel and oil as its that close (weighed it). 6, sort the red log clamp as its terrible on short bits.

Mass in service is not the same as curb weight.

You can get removable jacking legs that would weld /bolt on. Like these Maypole Side Winder 15" Trailer Jack Leg Prop Stand | eBay or TRAILER JACK LEG STABILISER IFOR WILLIAMS UNDER BODY SWIVEL LEG ADJUSTABLE | eBay

My money is on the tax class being PLG Private Light goods. Just the same as all cars & vans.

Order a few of eBay.

Diesel is lighter than water so your 72kg is out.

Up to 100km from your normal base. My point was more to put the dealer in the spotlight as most just dont know what they are selling & if it is suitable for your needs.

Ask them if it need a Tacho if towing & if you need an Operators licence if towing.

I have asked a policman I know that works in the fast responce APNR unit how this would be delt with on the road side. His initial responce was that if its listed as under 2040kg on the system or a google finds it listed as such they would treat it as a car. He is going to look into it more for me. As he was not 100% on it I guess it does not happen often. He works a large city / Mway network. This is the full regs re "dual purpose" So some crew cabs are Dual purpose IF they comply with part two in its entirety. The definition of unladen weight is harder. Does it include fuel, oils, driver ect ect? Vehicle makers all use a different method to show curb weight so CW cant be used. This is what the gov site says in one place but on another gov site is says designed weight so extras dont count. Yet the link below says they do count (and below is the law). The last quote is the actual law. Everything else is interpretation. Only a court can decide what a law actually means. So if stopped do not accept a ticket, caution or NIP unless they take you to a weigh bridge, make you unload the vehicle, drain ALL water based fluids (coolant, screen wash ect) & fuels, remove all loose items / tools ect & then you are over 2040kg, ensuring they use the 5% tolerance. All quotes from http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/regulation/3/made Or drive slower lol Re van speed limits, more & more are now getting tickets as more advanced speed cameras are coming into use.

Same numbers but wrong vehicle type you/they are putting the pickup in. Its a dual purpose vehicle so car speeds apply. Its under 2040kg unladen & has selectable 2x4 or 4x4 Dual purpose vehicles A dual purpose vehicle is a vehicle constructed or adapted for the carriage both of passengers and of goods and designed to weigh no more than 2,040 kg when unladen, and is either: constructed or adapted so that the driving power of the engine is, or can be selected to be, transmitted to all wheels of the vehicle or permanently fitted with a rigid roof, at least one row of transverse passenger seats to the rear of the driver’s seat and will have side and rear windows - there must also be a minimum ratio between the size of passenger and stowage areas

By pickup you mean single / double cabs like the Rodeo & not flat back transits? Can you please tell me who the organiser was so I can contact them? That is not what the law says. Cheers

Just spotted that the link to the FW is 4 years old & there is not a single comment. Suggesting that the article was a fishing exercise that came up short. The double / single 2040kg is a red herring. Thats to do with Operators licences / Tacho's

Prob on the road works as he is allowed to do 70 as he is not over 7500kg or articulated / towing.

You would be wrong. In England & Wales vans (under 7500kg & not articulated) same as cars in 10-20-30-40 & 50 zones Single carriage way national speed limit 50 Dual carriage way national limit 60 M way 70 Towing same as cars in 10-20-30-40 & 50 zones Single carriage way national speed limit 50 Dual carriage way national limit 60 M way 60 3 or more lanes not allowed in outer most lane Vans over 7500kg same as cars in 10-20-30-40 & 50 zones Single carriage way national speed limit 50 Dual carriage way national limit 60 M way 60 Dual carriageways are not defined by having two lanes. All traffic on them must be going the same way & a physical divider or barrier between traffic flow. DC's can have one lane in each direction. SC can have multiple lanes in each direction. Different rules in Scotland https://www.gov.uk/speed-limits

Clad in breather membrane first then waney edge.

The only way to have a C1E 107 is to have passed your test prior to 01-01-1997.

You dont have the B1 (well you do but its not what you mean here) you have B. So would have BE. Your C1 will still be restricted to 750kg trailer. You are better off doing your C1 & then C1E but it will cost more.

With the cost of delivery I cant see it being viable. Do you really want to sell to another supplier locally that will then be trying to sell into the same market you do?
