No I meant haw many flats have you made into tippers, answer none, went with the spend more money option. From the last few posts I don't think the OP has much to spend so putting the effort into the job is probably going to be the option of choice. Your £1200 quid option is most of his vehicle buget You can pick up a pump/tank unit for a couple of hundred and a hundred quids worth of steel will put a spline in a flat.

How many have you done?
-
Beg to differ. Been there done that.
-
I have done it and what it will cost will depend on what skills and resources you have available and whether you want new bits or used.

tandem trailer towing laws ?? question help please

But, its a multi agency thing and VOSA are the wrong agency to ask. People call this a grey area but it only seems that way because they haven't looked into it enough. Ask VOSA and they might tell you they have nothing against it but that bit of paper wont be a defence when the police prosecute if you are driving otherwise than in accordance, nor will it help you when HMCE have any issues with fuel usage. -
You mentioned under load on HILLS. That's the bit of water moving and finding the terminals. Drain the tank and the water will stop finding its way into the water separator.

Dont underestimate the power of condensation. Keeping the fuel tank full minimises it.

Indeed, driving through floods demands proper equipment and a degree of ability, these were abundant in the land rover vid and completely absent in this one [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uFm002CuA0]Police Van Flood Fail - YouTube[/ame] Not fair to criticise when your own people cant get it right

Not legally they cant -
12N sockets are subject to inspection, they have to be attached and not busted. The newer 12 pin sockets are subject to test Rather than mucking around with the existing kit why not just put a small Anderson plug (or similar) on to run the reverse lights?

It matters not what you call your log splitter, in the eyes of the law its still a trailer. -

It can be done on show mans and in agriculture under certain circumstances but for your purposes one trailer cannot draw another (legally) -
He may or may not be asked to pay for the works to re open the road. Depending on the authority most don't charge for reactive emergency works but in these financially strapped times that may change

You can use whoever you want to clear it up. That has nothing whatsoever to do with the LA and they certainly cant set any conditions. If the tree owner clears it up himself he is perfectly entitled to and that wouldn't be insured.

I like arborwear for the quality rather than fashion' A second hand pair off ebay might not be for everyone. Doesn't make the brand unpopular.
-
I wouldn't count on that, a chainsaw will go through wire core, a little slower than it would rope, but it will go through.
-
Just do it, fog light is part of the vehicle MOT but there is no test on the trailer (unless you have it listed on an "O" licence)
-
What are you fitting it to and why would you have to loose the fog light?
-
Get what you are saying, did you ever work in Germany? saw a lot of bemused looks there as well, sense of humour ectomy on a national scale.

When he said "what you want to do with it" its a question to determine what endurance you need. For what you have described an electric winch will do, if you had been looking at longer and repeated pulls then mechanical (not likely with the Discovery) or hydraulic would be more appropriate. When you say "pimp up the disco" I am assuming you mean make it more useable rather than girly good looks. I got a bumper custom built to fit my 8274 to a disco1. Its a bit of a carbuncle but it does have a certain "built in right of way" factor. Get yourself the best low profile winch you can afford and find a bumper to fit

Well I stand to be, or stand corrected but I thought an intergeneric hybrid would produce viable offspring and an interspecific would be sterile. Either way is a thug of a tree often used to bad ends, although it is a good money maker.
-
The trouble with that is the precedents establishing liability under English law. If you brace it you are accepting that the tree is defective, if the bracing doesn't hold you are slam dunk liable so we don't see as much bracing in the UK as elsewhere in the world The other thing is, (as others have said) its a leylandii, a cockrochesque thug of an interspecific hybrid. They are plentiful and not regarded as a high value tree.
