  1. In my opinion a good well maintained landy will serve well,and keep doing it. I have had a few from series 2 through to my TD5,had a few problems over the years,but I expect that from a motor that gets worked very hard. Show me another 4wd 3.5t arb truck for under £12000,(2nd hand) with easy maintenance & cheap parts,the dodgy thunderclaps & raging bulls,(not to mention other pretentious names),are designed to impress,not perform in a hard work environment,I don't Think I have seen anything on the road, working,day in &day out with a good sized tipping body other than the landy.
  2. Well come on Allen,that 12mm rope did go down to about 8mm before you decided to take a ly down...good call though!
  3. :thumbup1:Well it was fun,I sat about(as usual), arbogrunt impessed me with his climbing and work flow on a hard climb,Felix the whopper made me feel handsome,(and that is hard work),and Sam just made me work harder on the chipping, he was a whirling dervish on the drag...thanks all three of you for putting up with me! I had a great day. The dog is NOT happy,he never got a mention for his tolerance and gentle nature!
  4. Great pics David,I get a few or these growing round my parent's garden,the smell is horrendous.
  5. Thats a nasty knock,hope you get sorted out in good time.
  6. Welcome Mr Bonhomme,Your next challenge is to get a lunge up!
  7. Thats a good one....Godammit!
  8. Heart stopping stuff Mark,you made short work of that climb...!
  9. That's a rough one,hope he gets over that soon.
  10. Thats strange,countax are still the importers,and unless the saw is a grey import,or a million years old, you should be able to get the parts. Have you gone through this website? Echo Tools

    Landy kit

    Yep,get it gone right over by someone who knows them well,it will pay dividends. Also its no bad thing to drain every fluid and replace with good quality fresh stuff,mine gets done every 6000 miles. Oh & a set of ear plugs & a bilge pump!
  12. Good fun those pics,I like the street scenes!

  15. I have a couple of good sized eucs to take down in howe green, there is going to be some good diameter stuff,its giong to happen in the next 2 weeks,if you want some pm me & we can work out how to get your hands on it. I'm not selling it,just saves it from the log pile.
  16. Clean the air filter too!
  17. Cant beat a good mulberry,luverly!
  18. Sounds like a cop out to me,pass the buck. The houseowner is the one who tried it on with you,whatever the excuses. Great you got it sorted,we dont need agg like that.
  19. Frightening bit is the time spent reading and replying to this thread,I could have had the job done!!
  20. Not at all mate,no need for sorries:001_smile: Bash it out does sound a bit careless,its a term we use round here a bit,more meant towards getting stuck in rather than a 'bodge it & scarper'type of thing. But I can understand how it might have come across..
  21. Rob thats a good idea,that increases your profits as you wont have to pay him,but can you video it,as it is arb related.
  22. Hi there Mark,but that is a poor excuse for not being on here.....
  23. £120,I havnt been to Calais yet.
  24. No offence mate,we are just throwing it about(the prices),but if I could do it for less than your £150,surely that makes good sense to the consumer,and if I did it on the way home to save THEM some money,how does that make me look sneaky? As I said no offence,just discussion:001_smile:
  25. I would agree,as a stand alone job.
