  1. yes,also had a go with one,very light weight, dont like the auto carb/mixture device.But it has to be priced very well to compete with stihl, and husky have to get it to run on Aspen which it doesnt at the moment.
  2. Just a few books ,a EYDON kettle( like a kelly kettle} and some overpriced food! Other than that a good day out.
  3. I use a jonsered super twist pro very light and agood finish.
  4. hi,bfg tyres are made by michelin!
  5. hi brett, long time no see .are u going to the apf this month? hope married life is treating you well. see you soon.

  6. hi,sorry your wrong on your info on 110s and class1V mots. 110 hard top landys [no windows] ie 110td,110 200tdi, 300tdi,110 td5 are 3050kgs u/l weight are still class 1V mot. there is still no up date on VOSA computer[6.30 pm today].if a main dealer left the weight details of the reg form when first registration was applied for DVLA always put it at 3499 kgs. its up to you top prove them wrong!VOSA have now worked out that 110s come in different body styles ie. h/d,hard top,truck cab,soft top and csw, ALL are different weights hence another cock up by VOSA! if when you go to the test station and your reg no is entered on the computer and it comes up that your l/r is in the wrong class [1V or V11] it will not allow the tester to procede any further and will void your test. the only difference between class 1Vand V11 is to check tyre speed rating/ LOAD rating and a weighted brake test not that easy unless you have a 4 wheel rolling road, and of course an extra tenner for the test.
  7. some engine blocks were porous and the liners dropped/broke the top off. also check theres no clunking from forward to reverse and the box changes up ok.
  8. hi,at a previous job i maintained 3 35c12s single cabs only major problems were broken front spring,and clutch pedal broke .parts are easy to get,not over priced and nothing vibated off!fuel consumption mind 20s , also have good chassis rails to carry the weight. would i have on..... yes. would i have a transit... no. even the local councils are leaving the transit brigade.
  9. as he says!.......and just forget the transit.
  10. used one myself ,ok trucks ,brakes are a big problem thats why the mod have got shut. imo avoid at all cost.

  12. local dealer around here is selling hay at 4 quid a bale off the field! do all our hay but crops are 30% down on last year.word is barley straw is going to go through the roof later due to the lack of rain.
  13. a landrover will always hold its value long after the hilux has been recycled into cat food tins! dont see any 60 year old hiluxs like you do landrovers,and they are still driven on the roads today.
  14. 110 2.td, 110 300tdi, 110 td5.landrover,landrover and more landrovers .... wellanother 4 more!
  15. bigger/larger tyres will make your speedo reading incorrect!normally on a landrover this is about 10% slower ....so watch the speed cameras!

  17. hi, the honda gx160 has 2 oill filler necks to suit different engine applictions so just use the easyist to get at. loss of power could be due to wrong sparkplug/gap,old stale petrol,dirt in carb,or carb needs alittle tune/adjustment,also make sure engine is reaching full revs..ie flat out!
