  1. I can't remember any of my disco commercials grossing more than the cars. They carry a little more weight as they are lighter to begin with.
  2. Had this problem with my 1998 could not programme the ignition key as the door switch was faulty. The door switches connect the negative to chassis both could be faulty and both go back to a terminal block near the fuse box. Mine was not faulty at the switch but in the wiring loom.
  3. Come back female arb 😊 I think I liked your page give us a shout if you need kindling. Adam knows us good to see things are going well
  4. Take the woodmizer labels off it could be worth more.
  5. I am not seeing anything in the pics to tempt me away from ifor. The 1 piece sides will have a lot less strength than two or three sides. Also a real handful to take on and off. The ifors are crude dated and badly finished and some conponents have obviously been sourced from prc. But they are over made with good thick deep formed chassis members so if you do accidentally overload it will forgive you. I bought a 3500kg Brian James 16 ft an easier trailer to live lower to the ground which is brill if climbing on and off all day better finished and thought out but it has no where near the strength of the old ifor. So ok if you stay well within the load limits better c of g and nice tie down points 3 sides makes easier fitting.
  6. Have you tried taylors expresso may be just my taste buds but cant find anything in the supermarkets to come close will try m&S next
  7. Thanks for taking the time to post the info. You have confirmed what I was told by the dealer that imports the machine. I was tempted to buy one with a decent grinder. I have killed 3 gaggias in 15 years and recently stripped the boiler what I found was a bit grim and now always flush the boiler before making coffee. I think by flushing the rancillio you speed up the warm up process ? Making proper coffee is a right faff but I combine it with loading the dish washer and cleaning the kitchen. I went on holiday for a week and never had coffee but had head aches when I returned to uk I was about to be taken to hospital with suspected brain tumour when the doctor sussed out it was coffee withdrawal :001_smile:a bucket off expresso and I was as right as rain.
  8. Does your rancillio take a bit of time to get up to temp. I like the idea of the stainless boiler rather than running my brew through an ally boiler
  9. Yes next time i need coffee will take the mountain bike and leave the Landcruiser at home.
  10. I give up on tea untill which did a test and said sainsburys breakfast fairtrade was good and they were right. I make sure the brita filter is in date and get a good cup of tea:thumbup:
  11. Taylor's expresso from sainsburys or asda. Head and shoulders above the rest as far as my taste buds are concerned. For the best you need to go to a specialist coffee supplier.
  12. Para source make them for the emer servs 2ft one for £200 on eBay. Good kit allot of the rest is Chinese crap.
  13. No problem hope to meet soon.
  14. I think I worked out with mesh sides and a 3500 kg gross trailer you could get 600 on loaded singularly weighing 2500 kg. If you have no mesh sides we could try 4 pallets and some round the outside possibly 500 in total.
  15. You should be able to claim for the 4x4 although they have changed the rules. Most are high on emmissions so you can only offset 8% of the value per year but if you keep it a few years you will get it back. The pick ups are commercial so you get 100% of the value in the first year so very good at taking chucks out of a big tax bill. If you are limited then avoid cars full stop better to own them privately and charge the business 40 p a mile for business use.
  16. We can get 90 on a pallet at £1.80 + vat per bag. A pallet to most parts of the country is around £60 + vat. Most of our larger customers collect loose to get more on their truck then palletise on return to base. It does not take long for 4 people to hand ball a 1000 bags.
  17. If your looking for kindling through the summer let me know. We have a huge stock of top quality material but limited dry storage for end product. With the mild winter and our increased production we will be running out of room soon
  18. If anyone has a take down. My wood burner loves beech,ash,oak,birch,sync,maple or similar. I have a couple of large ifor trailers to whisk it away and the beer or kfc is on me.
  19. Mine was white I just used brown paint on the bulk head and bottom of the doors.
  20. Its all i had when doing logs for 5 years. Found the exhausts work loose but then they go even better. I found them a good saw i think mine is still running on 20" bar with 325 chain.
  21. The free lander is positively bullet proof compared to the new stuff. All the technology and 8 speed boxs etc makes for a fantastic vehicle to drive. But if it's badly made it gets very expensive. I found this week if you have the premium radio in a new disco and it packs up and needs the screen the cables and all the Tcm units your in for 5 k . Not funny if you are digging down the sofa to feed the gas metre and your gearbox software has cancelled tomorrow's job. A d1 may be a bit sluggish and crude but you know it will get you to work and the heater works if the stereo packs up you can stop in halfwits and get one for £60
  22. Thats what land Rover translates to in chinese. Get your own back. I am a Landrover enthusiast the disco 1 was great and the disco 2 was ok. The new stuff is complete and utter rubbish.
  23. That does surprise me after my d4 was so good NOT
  24. 10.5 tonnes 2.5 tonnes of land rover 3.5 tonnes of trailer 4.5 tonnes of AA recovery truck
  25. When I had a pile like that I used to use a bench with a saw clamped in it. Once u have picked it up and cut it pass it to the man on the vertical splitter or put in a box that can be raised. The hard work comes from bending down picking it up all the time. I have a feeling the stuff will be too small for a processor,too short or too big. We put ply on our log deck and used it as a big table and pulled the stuff across with hookeroons.
