  1. yeah thats spot on mate , im realy glad that you even went out of your way to get one of the smaller cones for mark to put on his head so that he does not suffer fatigue and to fullfill the manual handeling at work regs ha ha ha , i trust tomorrow you will have him carrying out a full contraflow on the m25 ?? (might nedd a flash jacket for that though lmao:laugh1:
  2. hiya guys im hoping some of you may well have some advice for me - about 6 months ago a bought a vehicle for work , i went up to see the vehicle and all seemed to be ok , i was made aware that the vehicle had been in a cat c shunt but the repair work had been carried out by a "professional" everything appeared to be good with the vehicle so i paid for it prat cash and part company cheque , anyway since then i have had several serious problems with it of which i have put down to experiance but where do you draw the line ?? today i noticed that one of the welds on the tipper frame had actually broke not although im no expert welder i know that a weld shold never break as a decent weld is in fact stronger than the metal thats been welded . im seriously looking to take action now as its really not funny anymore ! the implications of what could happen should another weld fail does not bare thinking about so im really just looking for some advice really .
  3. well as long as you have documented it in your risk assessment im sure its ok !!!!
  4. yeah slowly but surely im catching you up mate , glad you got your insurance sorted mate . where is best to take the timberwolf round here to get fixed ??!!!!!!!!!
  5. well well tommer you must have gone up in the world to be buying from them lol , i trust the boys on the counter were polite and helpfull as always ?? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. dont panic maye that was 2 years ago , im now 26 lol dad:sneaky2:
  7. i assume you were at radmore's then tom ?? you be carefull up there in exeter in the big smoke !! ha ha
  8. yeah you will require street works training mate , highways departments have taken on guys specificly for stopping illegal stree works activity and the setting out of traffic managment equipment , and yes there are some serious fines to be given out . without sounding to rude i would like to point out that what was known as chapter8 has sort of been done away with not and is now covered by street works and there are several scheems out there that you can do , but personally before looking into doing any training i would get hold of a coppy of the street works manual and have a good read . there is far mor to it than meets the eye
  9. we had a 6 inch vairy track chipper on demmo for 3 weeks and we used it to pull trees over , tow the cabstar up a steepish slope , and drag timber lengths out of a woods . i recon that a tracked chipper would pull a small ish trailer , i guess it depends on how easily the trailer can get stuck with a full load on .
  10. not too diferent to a monkey puzel lol , i think i would cover my self in Celox before i even started climbing that lmao
  11. give Trust a call mate a bet you they will have figures for you within 48 hours
  12. i have been with trust for 4 years now and was chatting to then about renewing my insurance two weeks ago , i did say that i was going to get comparetive quotes and they actually asked me to get back to them - i have not got any quotes yet but i will be doing that this week . anyway a little further into the conversation i was chatting about switching betwene insurance companies for pl,el and fleet cover , they told me quite simply that it is proven that you can get better renewel quotes if you stay with one company as your seen as a preferable customer and that they will give bigger discounts to you and much much better offers , also they were saying that it really does help to be honest when filling in questions about turnover , etc etc as that too can reduce the premium . last but not least how many insurance companies do any of you know that will let a 24 year old bloke stick his subaru impreza on the fleet policy as a company vehicle ??
  13. i have a Navara and a for ranger and if im honest the navara is much more comfortable and as the navara is a sport its got a bit more go in it compared to the ranger lol , but then the ranger is just a work truck .
  14. i have been with trust for 4 years and have got quotes from others and to be honest trust are still the most competetive .
  15. for £2.50 i can by an aluminium crimp that is designed for crimping the ends of wire rope - it does exactly the same thing to be honest .
  16. personally i think that it sounds like a great idea for someone who needs the use of a 4x4 tipper every now and then . personally i would not considder buying a jap 4x4 where the standard butt tips purly because the wheel arches get in the way thus making tipping awkward , reducing the cappacity of the tipper , you still could not fit a pallet in the back and should you laod the butt up with jolgs and want to tip them off im pretty sure the wheel arches would get stoved in pretty quickly . so how would you alter the fuel filler pipe as they are attacvhed to the but and what would be your answer to converting the rear tailgate ??
  17. oh most certainly , insted of the cry or a young lamb we would of had the ramblings of a small mad irishman , oh and did a say poisoness
  18. they are lovely pics brian , they depict a calm tranquil happy place where birds call and you can hear the faint cry of a young lamb in the distance ............ and then its ruined by tommer and his motley crew ha ha ha ha ,
  19. pull your tongue out of tommers arse brian for feck sake

  23. was he not wearing anything to advertise Arbtalk ??? not even a 12x24 foot banner in the background ??? come on steve strip him of his rights and kick him off . i really expected more of him:sneaky2:
  24. i always wanted a nisan patrol 4.2 gr . if only i could fit that lump in the ranger lol
