a big thank you to clive at Atlas trailers
ukminch replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
How close to the weight limit do you reckon you are there? I'm just wondering as I've just brought a tipping trailer and I don't think I can carry much behind my master in it. R -
Don't forget it's worth having a kit put on, as a failed tensioner will have the same effect as a snapped belt.......... That reminds me mines nearly due on the van again.............
-
The interval is very high on those vehicles, I personally wouldn't leave it that long. Also vauxhall do actually have somehthing in their service intervals about delivery drivers, driving instructors, ie round town having shorter service intervals for oil, possibly for cambelt to. It's not a lot of money in the big scheme of things, and you'll probably only do it once on that car.......... R

Fair does, not good if something is badly represented. R
-
Ah cool, I was worried then about what mine was doing.................... My vivaro used to get similar mpg to your T5, that was when it wasn't in limp home mode - I'll never get a new van ever again.....................
-
Do you really get 40mpg out of your renault master?
-
Why's were you appalled, was it misrepresented? I've sold stuff on ebay that has failed/wouldn't pass due to age etc on ebay. I always made it clear that's the reason for me getting rid of it though. Got another harness that I will probably put on it in march when my next loler is due. It's still useful to someone, and some beer pennies for me, rather than just binning it. R

I thought the dodgy bloke you got it off guaranteed it................... .............To definitely have a knackered engine R

kindling sticks for sale - collect midlands 400 bags
ukminch replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in Firewood forum
Just wondering how that VAT works, surely as a fuel it's 5%? Or is it only 5% to the end consumer? R -
Nice one mate, all that studying must seem worthwhile now!!
-
I was under that impression until I was out there..............

What to use for digging holes around newly laid pavers...
ukminch replied to J.D's topic in Landscaping
Maybe worth thinking about a jcb as the wheels may leave less marks than the tracks, irrelevant if your going to board it though. R -
He doesn't I just thought it sounded like trees had been felled brash chipped leaving the trunks on the bank where they fell sort of thing. Hence the 3-5m away from his access point? Maybe quite wrong in which case I'd definitely suggest doing a felling course. R p.s. In fact it wasn't how I read it, "hi all, iv'e managed to secure some fire wood from felled trees in railway sidings"
-
I've got one, as above good within it's limitations, never used a JB so couldn't really comment on the differences. R
-
A rolling bore cut maybe? Sounds like the trees may already have been felled, can't you drag them out to somewhere you can work with them more easily? R
-
I'd say you'd be way out with that, be very careful. I don't know how much your paying for turf but make sure you've checked and got in writing a quotation for the amounts your talking about. Unloading the lorry can take forever and then getting it to your work area will take a while. Having said that once your on a roll, it will go very quickly without many cuts. Be an interesting job to quote for............ R
-
Yep always interesting when this happens, going from glider tug to glider, but without the performance!!! Then you have to find where exactly you ditched the tow cable. R
-
Ah but I'm sure you wouldn't have to as he will be able to courier it at a very cheap price to your door!!! I''m sure you understand that western union would be more convenient for us all............................ R
-
Another vote for a jet wash, solves the problem 90% of the time, or alternatively some bleach and a stiff brush. R
-
I got mine from maplin, not expensive, does the job.
-
Yep you can as it comes under different rules. Don't ask me which though, I looked into it ages ago. R
-
Do tell........ I'd be interested to hear? R
-
I'd disagree with that. In court they need to prove you have done something wrong beyond reasonable doubt. If I was dodgy I could go and do whatever I wanted and I reckon the chances of being convicted are about 1 percent or less. As I'm not I will be doing it properly but I can see why people just get on with it as the system - which needs to be there is wide open to abuse. Especially in this case. To all others you've confirmed what I've thought application in, get result and work from there. R
-
LA won't do a site visit unless it's a dangerous tree in which case I either put in a five day notice, or photograph it and send them a covering letter after the event to cover my arse. How do others get on with the planning portal, I've found it to be far simpler to complete paper copies and hand them in, had a few problems doing it online. R
-
Don't worry I'll definitely have whatever I need in writing, nearly got stung years ago - never again. As i've got to put an application in anyway I'm just going to put everything on it. If necessary then I can argue about it afterwards. Just seemed a bit strange. All the times I've dealt with area TPO's in different counties they at least have a list of all the trees that should be there, these apparently haven't at all. Cheers for the advice anyway. Rob
