£550 + VAT mate. Thats for 1200mm width one.
-
Got it. 👍 I’m thinking of getting this Klou one for my Worky Quad. Same idea, just pick it up keeping the grab on. I won’t be able to rotate, obviously.
-
Have you got any pics of that Don? I’m assuming it’s similar to the one Mick has for his Avant.
-
No. I would have set fire to it.
-
Are any Transits rated to tow 3.5 though? I know mine isn’t.
-
‘I’m underweight officer, it says so right here in the sales brochure.’
-
They’re meant to be 2885 Dan, but seem to look bigger?
-
Very well explained Dan. Insurance companies seem to forget that it’s us who decides what a job is worth, not them.
-
100% bullshit mate. Delete it.

Correct method for driving through floods

He thought an 80 mile detour was worth it, and got home ok. -

The trick is just not to do it. You’re better off shivering in your car than writing it off and the insurance company disowning you. Is it worth £30K+ to continue the journey? This is my little bro trying to get from Northumberland to Scotland just after Christmas. The abandoned white car is toast. 4df64f8c-12a1-4f7a-9c81-195e0f6bb088.mp4

Good to know Mick. Next time I renew any insurance I will be sure to ask for a fully detailed breakdown of costs. Then give them the figure that I think I should be paying.

I thought that Moose. As long as there’s enough amps how can it know the fuel type? Unless it’s got a government chip in it and it won’t start anything running on red….
-
Agreed. You can’t work for idiots like that.
-
I would certainly check mate!

Apparently that’s not suitable for diesels Stubs.
-
My Halfords own brand one cost £90 and will start up to 3l.
-
Noco seem to be pretty highly thought of. This one starts diesels up to 4 litre. It seems the more you pay, the bigger sized engine it will start. NOCO Boost X GBX45 1250A 12V UltraSafe Portable Lithium Jump Starter | Halfords UK WWW.HALFORDS.COM Shop the latest at Halfords UK

Tree on pathway causing subsidence
Mark Bolam replied to TomCulley101's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
This could apply to all of us for pretty much every situation. -
Possibly. I can’t remember his name, but he was a specialist. This was in St. Albans. I went back to work in the afternoon with stitches in my gums and basically drooling blood. Bad idea.
-
Alex that is frighteningly similar to my own experience, including the bear-like saffa! The next couple of days were bad. Really bad. Like Mick, 30 years ago, and still an ugly memory.
-
So if I need to haul logs and chip to use onsite I’m golden? The rules are basically ridiculous, and they can fuck off.
-
Is there still an exemption for under 50km from base?
-
If I get stopped and asked where my tachograph is I just say the gypsies stole it, then no further action is ever taken.
