  5. As a Landy nutter i would say think really hard abouit having pay and play site. When i first got my defender90 i went to a local one and to be honest was dissapointed with the attitude of a lot of the people there. They were just thrashing around in there with little regard to any one else. Most of these vehicles were non road legal vehicles , bits hanging off ,no exhaust ,so damn noisy.All they were interested in was how much mud they could get over their vehicle ..... you can see where i am coming from?? Do you want this type of thing on your land? I went along to get a grip with how my 4wd, diff lock,low box . About an hour later and £25 lighter i had had enough. What you might want to look at is your local Landrover type club , see if they would want to use it for RTV'S which is a Trial set out and properly organised .All the vehicles must be road legal,check by a scrutineer before they are allowed to take part. Its a much more gentle way of having fun in your 4x4 , you tend to get a much more sensible bunch of people ,who are happy to plod around the site , going through gates set out (with garden canes). Have a good natter , lots of cups of tea and leave your site with little damage . The one i attend near me is set on a huge peice of land , through the woods and on some hills .They alternate which course they are using , thus allowing the previous course to get back to how it was .

  17. Maybe they have a 200/300 tdi to drop straight in it ,flog it on for a profit . What you gotta think of is what will you get for £2.5k ??? Not much of a decent landy ,prob an older ex military 2.5 na or just a turbo ,ie not tdi . Its a difficult one Mark

  19. Thats just bang out of order ,it must be hard enough for you guys to get work with this economy ,then some dork comes and does that . Lets say £200 for new ones ?? Ya working for nothing the next day ,or at least very little . Its good when ya catch em at it though ,swollen goolies make funny walking . I am not an Arborist ,however i have a lot of respect for the work you guys do .And it makes it harder when this stuff happens . I make some of my living from photography.One day someone thought it would be good to take my backpack ,full of my camera gear ,worth £6.5k .So i know how it feels . Cheers Mark
  20. I went to our local coal merchant today ( sorry ,i know thats a swear word on here:001_tongue:) .Went through what was the cheapest stuff they do ,its only for the dining room ,as the stove in there seems to burn wood faster than i can put it on .It is a fairly old one .We have found that smokeless coal will last much,much longer on it . Anyway ,they said they had bags of mixed stuff ,good for stoves @ just over £4 per 25kg bag .It looks like they gather up all the bits at the end of the day and bag em up for muppets like me to come along and buy .But when i put the bags into the bunker ,there was normal smoking coal in there . 1 .They are being naughty for selling it as smokeless . 2. I am keeping all the bags it came in ,incase someone says i am burning nasty smoking coal Just wish i could find a good supply of wood near me to keep both stoves going . Parks trust wont deliver to me as we have telephone cables outside house ,they are worried about taking them out . So any one near me who can supply wood ,get in touch .Milton Keynes . Cheers Mark
  21. Im in Milton keynes ,but can travel ........ when the landy works Cheers Mark
