Very nice.

Was the tank empty when she put the petrol in? I am assuming you have about an 80 litre tank- maybe more- so if the tank was empty and she only put 9 litres of petrol in i personally wouldnt be concerned. The biggest danger from petrol in diesel engines is the increased pressure, which can essentially hydraulic your engine in extreme cases.

IME merlo are the most useable and best designed machines out there by a long long way. Unfortunately they are VERY pricey for the build quality, esp the brakes which are atrocious, however given the hydrostatic drive this isnt the biggest problem in the world. STill a bit overpriced though......

Getting breezy down here, and very very wet too.

Pholiota aurivella?

:lol:thats the best euphamism i have ever heard for getting amsterdamaged:thumbup:

Not for long anymore Rich.... Dutch drugs 'ban': Is closing Amsterdam 'coffee shops' to tourists really a bad thing for the Netherlands? - Mail Online - TravelMail blog

Try these guys....Blue Line Trailers - Trailer Manufacturers - Home Page They are in south lincolnshire.

Trouble with that is that if you go to vermeer for what is an aftermarket (ie not made by them even though fitted at the factory) you will pay a fortune. Vermeer parts are VERY pricey.

I had a 620, and the brakes were knott. Either way, the brakes arent a vermeer part, so you should be able to take it to ant trailer dealership hwo does repairs or fabrication and they can respring it for you, assuming its the spring that has gone (which bythe sound of it is the problem). You CAN do it yorself, but the spring is VERY powerful, so this is not advisable.

What are you towing it behind?

What make of coupling is it? Knott? Whereabouts are you?

Crikey that was close!!!

That is a fine list of prizes there Mr B.

Indeed- possibly will be Beech this year.

Looking at met office latest, it seems that the southern half of the UK will be worst hit thins time, with the north escaping it. There arent any warnings for the north this week, but amber for the south.

The first word of that video's title is pretty worrying!!!!!!

Dont worry TCD- in a few weeks you will be stressing about getting it all out in time!! You may even find that you are one of the few with hardwood left in a few weeks if the phone stays quiet for a bit.

I think you ned to talk to your employer about this. You cant just land him with a bigger bill without at least mentioning it to him before you go to reading. I would expect to pay extra to a subby for doing this. Are you gonna be taken to the job or hve to get there under your own steam? Obviously he would be (IMO) obliged to pay all or some of any extra costs incurred by the journey, but TBH you arent really talking about mega extra hours there. IMO 6 am start in wales and 7pm finish there too isnt the end of the world, if you had to be at reading from SW at 6am and be there until 7pm with the journey on top of that, that would be a different matter.

I think its caled an Arclite? Its a heavy old stick welder that suits my level of (read lack of lol) skill, but is very reliable.

165 mph Matt!!!!

Theres been loads of pics of the largs promenade on the web news Stevie. HUGE waves!!

I cant wait....... Although i hate the expression ' I told you so...'

Yeah but hardly any apple owners keep their machines long enough for them to go wrong because they are sooo gullible they rush out to give Apple even more of their hard earned money because they believe the bull that is poured out by apple about how the latest must have has been released........its like the i-pad blag...they already have the next one ready befoer the last one is sold, so with all the hype and the fan boys' going on and on they take three times the money off you......and woe betide anyone owning an apple who says ANYTHING bad about their product on the apple forums- you just get banned, expanding the myth that these machines dont go wrong.........given that the hardware is IDENTICAL to that of A Pc, the idea that they are ANY more reliable is just laughable. And i have even started on the restrictive nature of their software (such as i-tunes (which BTW is losing popularity fast due to the issues that it is causing to peoples machines)) or the contemptible and hypocritical way the whole company started in the first place and has continued ever since.......
