Hang on 10 minutes while some spotty 17 year old drags his ass along to you to type in a code to ALLOW you the pleasure to purchase your pain killers-
All this scanning is done at a volume set so high it makes my fillings vibrate...
Oh and the best for last...

Great bits of kit easily fit a 6ft door in plenty of room in the fire box and very easy to operate

The amarok is a nice Car, (the hilux still feels a bit more like its built to work though) a mate has one which did need the engine splitting in 2, just under warranty luckily. But when the Navara n-guard, and hilux ultimate (high/top spec models) here are about 28k +vat, its hard to justify 45k +vat for the amarok.

I can never get my head around people rating land rovers. Personally I think there uncomfortable and most of all totally unreliable.

I have the same . Fully moderated fold up .

Exactly the same as mine. What a tool!

Silenced 410 is my choice with 3" cartridges 

Any one got one ? I have an SG and a flame top LP . Fancied a 335 . Tell me stuff !

When you say flame top do you mean sunburst?. My dad has a Jimmy page edition in black lovely bit of kit could be collectable now. He also owns a fender strat with lace pick ups and I think that is a Eric Clapton signature along with his other guitars such as Taylor's, Yamaha's and P.R Smiths.

I would think £55 - £60 per sq meter sounds about right for dig out. I do a lot of tarmacing and there's very little difference in price per meter.

Where does it all finish it just gets harder and harder to stay legal these days. No wonder there's so many people running around illegal maybe there better off taking the risk and paying the fine. That way would maybe cheaper than running to the book and that's if you get caught the longer they get away with it the more money they save.

I always use a regular mechanic who is proper old school and very much a perfectionist sometimes to much. The only 2 things he cannot check is the brakes and emissions a lot of mechanics/fitters don't have brake and emissions testing equipment . Last time I went my truck failed the brake test typical !!.

Start with putting a new spark plug in. If that doesn't work trace the problem back from there it could be a wire that's worn etc.

Yeah, but, what would I know about laying Tarmac/Planings. I've only layed thousands and thousands of tons in my life time.

Yes mate I know the feeling after 25 years on the highways. Diesel dissolves bitumen that's a fact!

Ideally you want H.R.A planings which is a surface course generally of major roads and motorways. In the past seen planings which have come from rotten highways they never seem to bed down. I wouldn't advise diesel putting diesel on them as it washes the bitumen of the stone.

Are there not two types of Cpc. Firstly a operators licence and secondly a drivers Cpc?.

Anyone remember The Royal Show??? It went the same way, glorified Sunday market with over priced tat.

Yes mate I remember the Royal Show in the glory days . Not to far from me no other show ever replaced it. The Stoneleigh show ground seems so wasted today:thumbdown:

Today's fleet

who for Thames or Severn Trent? Am averaging 1200 tonnes a day on my own

Severn Trent mate the problem we have is the distance we cover sometimes you spend a lot of time traveling from one site to the next. You definitely get about with this job.

I have spread paper crumble in the past but that's nothing to do with my name!

 

Currently spreading digested sewage sludge for Anglia water. Am adjacent to a17 can't believe how much timbers moving here where does it all go?

Have about 10,000 tonnes in front of me at the moment should keep.me busy for a day or so:D

Coincidence I'm out spreading sewage cake aroun the warwickshire , Leicestershire and Northampton area. We are flat out with four tractors and spreaders going and a Volvo shovel. We try to spread 2000 ton a day minimum but that depends on traveling and field conditions as I imagine you well know.

What are you spreading paper rustler

Sure you don't mean channel 4

Not much ploughing near me it's all sumo's often direct drilling rape in to wheat stubble. Often seems to be a race for farmers to get finished first ready for pheasant shooting.

If used for Hire and reward, ie delivering logs then you need a tacho but if using the trailer to take maybe machinery to site then see my post about 2 or 3 from the top. There can be quite heavy fines for non compliance, my local garden center got fined 2k when they were pulled delivering a new mower on a trailer behind a 4 door pick up. My local Vosa check point was chocka last Sunday pulling stuff off the M1.

Would that be Crick by any chance I've never saw them operating on a Sunday. I always avoid it like the plague but funny enough go by on a wet day and you never see much activity. One of vosa's weigh bridges just of the M6 at Coventry got vandalised it has been put out of action since.

I personally find not running the Husky 550/560s completely out of fuel also helps with the restarting issues.

Coventry on the A45 tollbar at a guess. Nightmare in rush hour:thumbdown:
