It's got to be worth you hanging on for the new hilux. When the mk6 came out it was a good truck but 9 years on its a bit long in the tooth. That d4d has been clattering its way around since 2002.

Somebody has to be really poor to not be worth £50 a day. If someone was that bad you would be happy to give them £50 as long as they don't come back. To use someone for the day and pay nothing is very poor. How would local tree surgeons feel about doing a free day around my place before I ask for a quote.

Have you met your match John

An honest reliable trust worthy grafter that has no text facility. Common sense personable, clean and equipped with sarnies. Of course it helps if his parents are rich retired farmers with a redundant secure yard with out buildings and containers.

I should have put to make holes in the soil for a pole barn.

I want to put some telegraph poles planted nr andover hants. Access is good so a skid steer or similar would be ideal. I have a bobcat if someone just has an auger. Cash waiting.

I thought it looked new. When there are trucks like that around it does not make sense to buy new. Clean looking truck and perfect colour

I bought a new ifor box trailer 10x5 2500kg the front axle was 1.5 inches pissed out of line and wearing the tyres one side and towed like crap. Ifor could not find anything better in stock so they refunded the money. The 3500 kg box has bolt on spring hangers so can be adjusted. When I was looking for a 16 ft flat bed one dealer showed me a trailer where only 3 wheels were on the deck due to twisted chassis while it was galvanised. Ifor are a good strong trailer and imo tow better than the rubber suspension when empty but they need to loose some of the cheap imported parts and screw them together properly.

Everything honda make is very good ( apart from formula one engines ) I did hear a few moans when honda moved the manufacture of small genies to China but I have no experience as I tend to work on the big diesels.

I went to Hyundai in Pembroke for a look see. I thought there suitcase range looked good even has remote control. No idea how reliable or robust but they have put their name to it. No idea what kipor handbags are like but if they are like the diesels they will be complete crap.

I never bothered getting bricks under warranty it's still going in the office I seem to remember it should have been £700 and the garden centre scanned it at £300 thinking it was on special offer

We have a hunter now 13 years old original un cracked bricks. We have a small villager the bricks were cracked within weeks. Even so I think a better stove. More heat and more controllable and better made. Smaller and very efficient

It's not worth it for pleasure either jon. You could buy a nice second hilux for the 12 k and keep the new one for pleasure. Sounds like the gearboxes are trouble so that ones out now. Back to the hilux.

This only my opinion based on ownership. The hilux is head and shoulders above the rest and worth the money especially second hand. The mk 5 was twice the truck of anything else at the time. The new 2.5 has nearly the same feel power wise when driven and according to the test reports you don't need the 3 litre. But if you are towing especially if you are pushing the limits buy the 3 litre. The only thing that lets the hilux down is the official towing limits but it tows as well as any of the others. If you buy a hilux they had engine problems around 2008 make sure the injector seals were done and the engine was not oil starved I think there was a few injector problems and they are hundreds of pounds each. Other than that the d4d engines are bullet proof and economical. If I had six makes of double cab lined up from different makes the rest were £300 the hilux was £2000 I would buy the hilux. The Amarok is a better pick up but nobody knows how the 2 ltr engine will survive and a decent spec is pushing £35,000

I was going to say where is peckerwoo but I don't need to now. If you mention his name he appears like a gennie

I think we have the new version. Currys sell it still a great package improved without over complication and probably runs better on latter computers we upgraded fron quicken invoice we bought mid 90's

I think we have a simple version of, quick books I hate integrated accounts software so never use it but their invoice will do everything you need and more without getting over complicated. Think I paid £30 for it and includes 3 months support but it's so easy we never used it. For accounts I use a street sheet I created 20 years ago.

Appears so. I would be thinking about the long term damage. Diesel is not a good lubricant for your engine especially the valve train

I spoke to the dealer about 3 months ago and he assured me that unless you leave it ticking over lots or plodding round feeding pheasants etc the problems are gone.A good run on a roads 20 minute per day will prevent the problem.

I used to go to a plant auction in chobham I was told if you hit Ferrari ones right they land in the engine well behind.

That does not look bad on there the balance looks right which is lucky, a long trailer gives you a bit more margin for error. Think I would keep it under 80 though

Electrician that works for me sometimes turns the engine off and gets his newspaper out. Best car for mirror jousting landcrusier Amazon mirror weighs 4 kg and full of alloy got a spare never needed it in 10 years. Transits and sprinters are best as you get bits of indicator as well as blind spots and motors.

But I thought it was for generator engineers.
