  1. Sorry to side track, is that a 25hp tractor, it seems to run the splitter well in your vid, how much can the loader lift. I've got a 20hp one and don't think it's anywhere near as powerful as yours? R
  2. That doesn't answer the original question though does it? I'd guess it would be something to do with the fact that they are an aid and that the exact forces couldn't be calculated or similar???
  3. I've got a mate that owns a phoneshop, sure he charges about £75 to change a screen on one. He's told me not to get one as it's far easier changing screens for me on a nokia......... I'd have thought it would be worthwhile trying one of the smaller independents. I'd recommend my mate but he's a bit far away for you. R ps As for the original query, try drying it out for a couple of days and try a different battery, sometimes it's only that that goes.
  4. When my renewal came through it had a 10m height restriction on it. I rang them up and they said it didn't apply to my policy and it was just standard t+c's they's sent me out??? Accordingly I asked them to confirm in writing that there was no height restriction which they did no probs at all. No complaints about them from me, but as you've said it depends what happens when you have to make a claim, which I hope I never have to. R
  5. No problem with that at all, I was just reading the thread and thought I was going mad until I realised - I definietly am.................... I don't know whether it would be easy to do but some sites have a swear filter on them, would this make your lives easier?
  6. There's been more and more claims, more people claim for personal injury and unecessarily high hire costs so everybody suffers. R
  7. Somebodies deleted a post which means mine doesn't make sense anymore:sneaky2:
  8. I'd recommend gnarlyoak (Rick) off here, he's over your way. He's got an add somewhere on here. If you need his number pm me. R
  9. He's done it in preperation for a race he's going to organise in a year or so's time. I think I'll be busy that 6months.............
  10. Might be of interest to some of you, might not, a mate of mine has just done a little bike ride round the world: Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Cyclist sets new record for pedalling round the world I reckon I'm still faster than him downhill though - Fat blokes roll faster!!!
  11. From reading stuff on here it seems that it's not the youth of today causing trouble anymore its the coffin dodgers!!!!
  12. Looks like your going to have to start stocking size 16 boots......................
  13. Can I have a go:drool:can't be that hard can it:cursing:,
  14. Surely if you've got the time for all that you've got a bit of time to get some quicker drying wood split and stacked now?? R
  15. Has it been pollarded and how long ago?
  16. Doesn't sound like a rip off to me sounds like it's keeping somebody of the roads that doesn't meet prescribed standards........ Or maybe he's unlucky. IMO we ought to be retested or made to do an update or something similar every five years or so. Driver training is never wasted IMO. R
  17. Might teach the developers not to do stuff without proper planning in place tho:thumbup:
  18. I'd be up for it, be good to put a few faces to names. R
  19. Fraid not it will only allow you to drive anything rigid, the 750kg rule will still apply to trailers. R
  20. I wasn't as lucky on the motorbike:blushing:, was it cheshire police? R
  21. I'd box clever on this one, last thing you want to be doing is having a punch up, appealing though it may be. Send an invoice, then a final demand, then action in the county court. You'll find most people deep down are scared of the legal system, and if they're not you can always have a punch up afterwards...... R
  22. This is exactly what winds me up, AE have put themselves in a situation where they can just write blank cheques.............. Still nothing I can do about it except pay the premiums R
  23. I have had bad dealings with them. One of my guys bumped a vehicle (tiny dink) and we arranged that a mobile repair thing would come and fix the vehicle which they did. AE then got involved picked the vehicle up took it away - after repair wouldn't give it back for weeks as they couldn't find the damage....... They then tried to bill me for the hire car, they were unsucessful. The owner was most apologetic and as annoyed as me. I hate the fact that people make money unnecessarily out of our premiums. They ought to be able to supply a replacement vehicle straight away under the conditions that the vehicle is examined and a full report made within 24 hours. The vehicle is then repaired whilst the courtesy vehicle is used or an offer is made by YOUR insurance company that they can then argue with the other persons insurance company. It means that the delay tactics to make more money don't get used. R
  24. IMO - correct me if I'm wrong, the problem here has been caused by using accident exchange. They're a 3rd party thats got involved and complicated the issue, and made an absolute fortune out of arranging a hire vehicle for you. Having said that it seems like thats just caused the delay. Unfortunately second hand vehicles are a minefield price and quality wise. Best of luck with it. R
