    I don't think it's Hornbeam. That is more fluted than knobbly IME.

    I think he means that the firm he is working for has Employer's Liability.
  3. felixthelogchopper
    First looks like Ash.

    How about an Isuzu? I drove one that sort of age for a firm when I used to subby. Nice truck with plenty of grunt for towing. Plated for 3 tonnes IIRC.

    BT50 or B2500? I'm selling my old white B2500 that I was using in the woods when we were doing the felling for Andrew if you are looking for a nice cheap one.

    Thanks, will do. Would that mean that the drag would be why it needs throttle to start it?

    I prefer to talk to people before giving out exact locations. We use all the chip that we are given on the sites I represent so I don't think a licence is necessary.

    Cheers Rich. Hope you feel a lot better soon.

    Today's wind up is a Stihl HS81R hedgetrimmer which will only start on full throttle then is impossible to get a nice idle on. It basically idles with the blades cycling then as you try to reduce the idle speed it goes from blades running to engine stopped with no middle ground. The throttle cable was replaced last year so is it possible that the plastic quadrant bit that it runs round has been disturbed when it was done?

    Posting like this casts aspersions on all contributors to a thread. I would like to point out that I am not the person to whom Jesse is referring.

    Looks like you shouldn't have to worry then.
  12. felixthelogchopper
    Big enough charge and they just disappear. On a serious note, get a trail cam so you can find out who is doing it. If it is the people behind the hedge, go to the police about and don't take no for an answer. If it isn't them, I would imagine that they will either (a) know who it is, or (b) be rather concerned themselves and want it sorted too.

    I occasionally produce smells that could suggest I was dead or decaying

    Bugger, I found out this afternoon that we can't make the 15th. Would you let me know if you are going to go on the 22nd please?
  15. felixthelogchopper
    I don't know about the newer ones but I never felt uncomfortable in the drivers seat of my old one for a couple of hours at a time. I'm 6ft 5 and built for comfort, not for speed, so you can see there is plenty of room. Unlike a Defender, I could drive it with the window up.

    When I was choosing a company vehicle, it was the gearing that took the new Ranger/Mazda out of the equation straight away. I liked my old one as a good solid basic work truck but the newer ones seem too aimed at the Sport SUV market for me.
  17. felixthelogchopper
    Ford don't even build their own trucks, let alone test them. The older Rangers /Mazda B2500s have much the better gear ratios for towing but it still pays to put them in low ratio for reversing a trailer.
  18. felixthelogchopper
    Cheers.
  19. felixthelogchopper
    There you go.

    I think it's a bit too old for him (X reg). I know what you mean about keeping it but it's been SORNed since Nov 2012 and only gets used by my other half's Dad for moving stuff about his land. Seems to be a bit of a waste when it would be a good work wagon for somebody.
  21. felixthelogchopper
    I'm selling my old one at the moment as, having a company car, I just can't justify keeping it anymore. Going to miss it when it goes. It was almost like a security blanket of 'I've still got my truck so I can go back to subbing if I don't like being employed'.
  22. felixthelogchopper
    Had one as my own truck before being given an Isuzu by my employer. Good solid trucks.
  23. felixthelogchopper
    Have you still got all your fingers left?
  24. felixthelogchopper
    Seeing as this debate comes up frequently, can this thread be 'stickied' please? Dan's description is clear and accurate and the points about LOLER are valuable from an employer's position as well.
  25. felixthelogchopper
    I used to do that too. Rather worrying when the beach you are fishing is Sizewell.
