  1. Yes it would annoy me at that time. I would return the call when I came in from a generator callout at 1am . Mind you if you think thats bad try dealing with ebayers.
  2. The Landrover stuff feels on the limit at 3500kg but the Landcruiser feels like you have nothing behind. All genuine uk import amazons are plated and legal for 3500kg. The toyota landcruiser lc3 and 4 and stuff are not real landcruisers and dont pull the weight a lot of people have bought them thinking they were the new amazon. There is a clue in the price lc4 £45,000 Amazon 65k
  3. Halfords had some proffessional van racking :lol:for £250 a go but it did not sell so they reduced it to £50 a bay and it was fairly good may be worth a look in your local store they can look on the screen and see whats about. The racking in my other van is made by bott. Good stuff but cost about 2k proper shelves no useless little compartments. saws and combi cans fit straight on and dont fall off.
  4. I have some paslode gas cartridges in my workshop and they dont fit my mates so your welcome to have a look if they are any good to you. Not sure if they are in date think there might be 3
  5. Its amazing how areas differ. Until 2 years ago we had at least 10 times more demand than we could supply. Now very slow far too many people selling logs in our area. Fully seasoned hardwood still got 150 metres left.
  6. commercial ie navara is fine RR or Landcruiser car
  7. I think under a certain turnover or profit it does not show on line or you can opt out but think it says something like turnover less than 100,000 Another thing is if you have a big fat 4x4 on the business they will kill your tax free allowance so u need a non polluting car.
  8. Its worth considering if you have alot of assets like you own your house ( no mortgage ) you earn over 30k a year. Easier to get credit. Large companies like the LTD bit when giving out contracts. You will pay alot more national insurance. The idea seems to be you can put all your eggs in one basket take stupid risks everyone else gets screwed but you if it goes wrong.
  9. I seem to remember if it ever over heated they would pay for the repairs. I think it was massively over cooled. I have a feeling it was an old merc engine could be the same one in the sangsangyong thing as well. Nice drive does not ring a bell but its a cheap work truck and I am sure it will drive past many range rover sports broke down with ecu problems
  10. Yes your right ashcrofts. The first 300tdi discos did not have the cross drilling for months. Thousands of gearboxs failed within a few hundred miles being an export it may have not been picked up. Reading the first post I see its a 1999 so irrelevant.
  11. Mine will be up for sale but need to clear the logs first. 1998 172k new proffessionally built body 2 years ago approx. 5k + vat
  12. Or its the spline problem between the gearbox and the transfer box. They modified it so there was a drilling to allow oil in. The splines wear so bad eventually the shaft is smooth and you loose drive. Symptoms are huge amount of slack when you take up the drive and go onto overrun. The people I would trust to build me a box are turners if you look on their website they have a good diagnostic section.
  13. I think maybe bigger enough for whole trees
  14. we are interested. tried to send pm but your box is full
  15. Large logs tend to be for large open fires. It is more of a problem getting logs small enough to fit the 4kw yuppie stoves.
  16. It was not me. Mine are bone dry
  17. I had a fourtrack independant years ago good little truck fights well above its weight.
  18. Of course not all Range Rovers were fat oxs and not all drivers were old farts and the price of Amazon parts is horredous £1000 for genuine exhaust £800 for pattern £400 for set of discs and pads. What ever you buy its the luck of the gods.
  19. So would I Freelander ok to drive. Disco 3 and 4 very nice. Range Rover dreadful a right fat old ox that wanders all over the road and still has no boot space. I would struggle to pick between a disco 4 and amazon if was not for the reliability problems. Range Rover = cigar smoking old farts car.
  20. Cannot comment from experience but I would say disco 4 better than lc upto 56 plate. I would have a new shape Amazon rather than a disco 4 because the reliability on disco 3 was absolutely dreadful x10 and the disco 4 is shaping up to be the same. I would drive both before making the decision. But being a tight ass 10k is too much for a car so wont be buying either any time soon.
  21. You have made me laugh tonight the thought that a discovery is even on the same planet comfort wise to an Amazon. And I should know I run both.
  22. Going from a Hilux to a Landrover will be a culture shock. Not so much if ever more a case of when and how often will it breakdown. Not trying to start any fights love my landrover and had many over 20 years just the way it is especially early td5 discos go for post 52 plate with plastic lights.
