  1. You used to be able to get a double screw in joiner. What ever you do, just make sure its well insulated for the voltage it will be carrying & sealed against moisture.
  2. Wow has WRC jumped up in price over the last few years? I was paying £50-65 inc VAT delivered on full loads (18-25 tonne).
  3. Only till the next MOT. Your insurance might be very interested too if you have a crash.
  4. You cant claim from home to work or work to home unless you work from home IE no unit or lock up. You can claim from your unit / lockup to work site & back.
  5. Try theses Logsplitter | MIG Welding Forum logsplitter for mini digger | MIG Welding Forum
  6. I posted a link 2 or 3 days ago about the new rules that are coming in next year. Main points are the 50km exemption is going up to 100km & the drivers hours rules to be applied will be the UK ones not the EU ones. This was it http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/80645-change-tacho-rules-coming-soon.html
  7. This might be of interest to some of you. https://movingon.blog.gov.uk/changes-to-tachograph-rules-for-local-journeys/ Main points look like:- increase in exempted distance to 100km need to follow GB driver hours rules not EU
  8. Its stained all the clear 25L cans I use & all the clear / white plastic fuel pipes.
  9. You dont have to have any lights as long as it has reflectors & you can see the tow vehicles lights from 15m (might be 15 feet been a long time since I looked this one up) behind it.
  10. Tyvek, Rubberoid or similar.
  11. We use a similar trailer. It holds 2.6m3. Its gross weight is 750kg & its net weight is 150kg so a 600kg payload. Even full of softwood its not near its limits. If taking it bagged up in 1m3 vented bags I can only get one bag on as the load area is not long enough to fit two on without too much over hang & excess weight behind the wheels lowering the nose weight to below its recommended amount.
  12. You have something wrong. I am guessing that a, you dont burn for long enough & b, you dont burn hot enough. We have the smallest Rayburn that has a 2kW boiler. We heat a 260L thermal store. From that we get our hot water & run the rads for 4 hours per day. In winter its running 24/7. The residual heat from the Rayburn heats the main living area & the rads do the bedrooms. The rads are small & only total 2.5kW output. Our TS heats up to 85c+.
  13. One up side of using a nail gun is that you get less vibration / movement in the item you are making so thinner weaker lighter parts can be used.
  14. Teenagers are limited in what weight & size tractor they can drive. 18 year olds cant drive 44 ton LGV's unless they are in the military. Failing that you need to be 21.
  15. Hand stitched repairs in Melbourne.
  16. Best not tie any knots in it then either.
  17. https://www.facebook.com/ttgrafix?fref=ts Also on ebay. They design & make you fit. Fitting is easy, Even easier on a flat sided vehicle.
  18. Not hugely. I would guess that the elec motors are about 2kw each. Getting 4kW from the PTO might take 8kW of engine power or just over 10hp. It would also leave the tractor hydraulics free to do another job. However I now know that the point of this is to get better performance out of the existing rams so keeping the elec pumps is a non starter. I would guess with a small tractor the flow rate is going to be low so will either need high engine speed or a PTO hydraulic pump.
  19. As there are a few welders on here I will mention the deal that BOC are doing for hobby welders. You can get a cylinder of MIG or TIG gas with a very low yearly rental if you mention the Volkszone deal when you phone them up. They have even dropped the fixed charge they normal charge each time you collect. MIG Y size argoshield gas 25.60 Surcharge 1.31p Rental 37.40 per year TIG Y size pureshield argon Gas 31.34 Surcharge 1.31p Rental 54 per year
  20. That sort of structural fab work now comes under some new legislation & you have to be a certified welder working to EN1090 if its not your own building or its offered for sale in any way. That would include fixing stuff you break on someone else site while doing other work. If its fixing stuff you break on your own barn say, then that might be ok.
  21. How is this any different to any other job that needs a ladder? In fact they seem to have made it quite safe with the top fixed & the bottom in perm fixings.
  22. Yes just found a doc on the .Gov site that explains it clearly that it does retrospectively affect all current taxed cars too.
  23. Check out the kit on here & ask any questions on here
  24. Will selling a car that already has a tax disc in the window result in a transfer of the tax or a refund?
