    sory to derail the thread a little but i have been using maximuscle promax diet for the last 4 months and seem to have found my energy and strength slowly dropping and the need for junk food getting bigger ! about 4 weeks ago a changed back to using Maximuscle Cyclone and have found that i have no want for junk foor and i have more nergy again , to top it all off my squatt has improved a bit and im now able to squat heavyer again and even managed 1 set of 4 squats @220kg.

    i did hear of a problem recentl with iffy crank seals on the ms880 , a local guy had a similar problem , when he tok the saw back to the dealer they blamed it on using Bio oial other than Sthil's own bio oial as it was to thin !!! however strangley they agreed to fix the saw FOC !!!! how strange !! its just a shame the husky 3120 in not alot of cop !!!

    i tend to climb with one end of my rope and a 10m strop , i may well get a large throwline bag to put on mu harnes to keep the spare line from my strop in while im climbing , but if im honest i could not be arsed with a retractable strop

    thats why they are using al jap 4x4;s in the dimond mines in Australia and Ammerica !!! they tried landrovers and found them to be pretty naff !!! as for half shafts snapping and driving like annimals i would argue that driving through i boggy field whilst toming in a trailer would not constitute "driving like an animal" mind you it was funny watching a Ranger tow the landy out and then the trailer . I know many of you drive Landrovers and are pretty passionate about them but honestly i do not rate them quite as highly especialy knowing that the chassis could snap if a put a good load of timber on the back lmao

    as far as i am aware both Lantra and NPTC are working together but still Lantra certs are not being acepted by quite a few organisations , im not sure if its still the case but LANTRA used to use the same assessor as the trainer and assessment is normally at the end of the training .

    i do agre that the jap 4x4's have gone to plasticy and hairdressery and this year sees out the current ford ranger to make way for the new style ranger that will look more like the ford f150 . But if as you say people are buying the defenders because they are going to be worked so hard and that the defender is designed to be worked hard then i would not expect them to break down as they do of for half shafts to break when off road in a field . especially when you look at the price difference

    Personally i would be inclined to take on board what im told by the fitters as they have no bias as they are not dealers and have upwards of 20 years experience in working on landrovers , in recent years they have also started working on mogs . i will speak to the fitters tomorrow and get more specific info on the problems they have had

    i have been asked to supply a chap with seasoned rings so that he can proces them and bag the logs himself , in just wondering how much to charge per 10 ton load of rings and possibly what to charge per 10 ton load of lengths - the guy is happy to have it all as soft wood too . Any ideas guys ?

    according To Western Power's mechanics they have had lots of trouble with them ! i would accept that you get the odd problem but with the ammounts they buy and the fact that they do not buy anything less than top of the range defenders with the special chasis and all the guys driving them get a totorial from landrovers off road training team i cant see that it could be a one off
  13. combined tree services
    persoally knwoing the ammount of known problems there are with the current Defender i would not boter with one . I believe if you speak to Nisan you can order a commercial spec Patrole iwth factory fitted Tacho .
