  1. You can also use Super Selective which will kill all your weeds and ignore your grass. Pistol is good and will get rid of marestail which glpyh wont touch. For most general use glyphosate is your best option.
  2. We have a d22 navara kitted out the same for spraying and it's got those hubs on the front. It's got some general grabber AT2 tyres and some cool alloys. Looks the dogs danglies!
  3. Is it the ln167 by any chance yours was? The front diff does look pretty scrapped. As they are used to having a full set of teeth! Half shafts may be useful in the future. I'm sure some of it may come in handy.
  4. Cheers Steve. I'll speak with my dad in the morning and see if he will need any. What model did they come off? It's started making new noises now. Sounds like there is a piece of metal caught in the engine somewhere, and when I leave it idling it's fine. When I rev it it gets kicked around. Sounds like gravel in a bucket!
  5. after 5 hours in the workshop today, the truck is stripped down and ready for arb work Ive got the perfect steel chest to sit in the back for my gear too, the hilux bed is 57" wide, the box is 55", perfectamundo!
  6. If it's completely dead you can give apple £139 and the broken phone and they give you a new one. Or just claim on the house insurance. My mate did that and It took 6 weeks to fix a broken screen. My dad dropped then ran over his and got another in les than 2 days
  7. The only thing this reminds me of is the Baz Luhrmann Song. Everybodys Free (to wear sunscreen) heres the lyrics, some very good words in there Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not Understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and Recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before You and how fabulous you really looked.You're not as fat as you Imagine. Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as Effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that Never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm On some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with People who are reckless with yours. Floss Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes You're behind, the race is long, and in the end, it's only with Yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you Succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your Life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they Wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year Olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe You won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky Chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. what ever you do, don't Congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either, your Choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, Use it every way you can, don't be afraid of it, or what other people Think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever Own... Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for Good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the People most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you Should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and Lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you Knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live In Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will Philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize That when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were Noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, Maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one Might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will Look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who Supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of Fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the Ugly parts and recycling it for more than It's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen.
  8. ed is that shirt painted on thats all i ever see you wearing!
  9. just joined, posted the for what i needed, sourced a part already, will be daytime sunday when its sorted thanks for that gem of info!
  10. It needs a good looking at ed really. It's had a farmers life. Old fuel, little servicing. All the usual! Will hopefully get a look at it on Monday. But the exhaust seemed ok.
  11. I have had a 'ha ha' in a spec before now. It was basically a ditch with some sort of wall on one side. Thats the one I saw anyway. Have there been any the choices considered for planting. I wouldn't have chosen pine tbh
  12. thanks for the fast responses, ill give the fuel filter and air filter a check over and see how i get on.
  13. well, take a look and listen of this video, the cutters die when you rev it up, it will just about do half revs but then there is no power for it to cut anything [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPhkM3GySrg]YouTube - Stihl hedgetrimmer problem[/ame] i tried adjusting the carb, no change, new spark plug, no change, new fuel, no change, really wierd?
  14. i would rather pollard the limes and leave them in, they are the classic avenue tree anyway. are they unmanaged trees or lapsed pollards?
  15. ill give milners a ring again and see what i can find elsewhere, i can find parts in austrailia but the shipping would cost more than the parts. The cost of overhauling the diff would be the same as buying a whole new truck just for parts, and less hassle, if i can source the parts i would be able to do it myself. otherwise its into the garage
  16. Anything you could salvage steve would be a great help. Finances aren't too good ATM but I'll be able to pay the postage. Here's the model details Toyota details Model kf-ln167-TRMDS Engine 3L Frame ln-167 0017650 Trans/axle g52 AO5A The g52 is the code I need for the part. It's not a vw badged hilux. It's a real struggle for even breaker parts. I'm after a couple of front seats if anybody has some in reasonable condition lying around?
  17. an import like this one? milners dont have any, my dad is the owner and he has been looking for the part for a while. he has a navara with the same setup that he uses and he had two for the peak of the spraying season, he doesnt need this till the start of the next one next march/april. if ic ant get the part its just gonna be a rebuild of the diff, which will put it out of action for a week!
  18. no all the spraying equipment, pod, boom tank, pump etc will all be coming off and then ill be putting a chest on the back to put my gear in. Ive used a quarter tank today, been 2 places, done no more than 50 miles! It needs a new rear diff, with it being an import, there arent any ANYWHERE
  19. godfinger is a good one! angry birds and doodle jump are addictive and good for passing time at breaks!
  20. in a few days, this will be mine for playing in imported hilux 3L diesel, uprated suspension, the tank on the back is 1000l and is full in those pictures. Its great!
  21. i shall be there, maybe on my todd, the better half may come with me if i manage to persuade her to camp!
  22. Chris you could also go through Sue at millhouse training. They are based in skelmersdale across the road from the nfu office. Sorted everything out well and had plenty of info and good instructor choice. Always had the instructors you would want as assessors which made it better!
  23. Haha mr Stephen you make me laugh! I don't know about the bionic part. I've never liked the gym for some reason. Just doesn't feel like my place. I prefer to climb! Or even swim or ride my bike. I'm not even expecting to be that busy doing this. Just an extra 20 quid here an there will do me. One a week will run my car for half a week. Which I'd be happy for.
  24. Just don't put the chain on backwards! You'll never get them sharp that way! If you use a square edged stone you can do depth gauges aswell. Set it to the proper height you need and a bit more And there's them done too!
  25. at the bottom where you place the chain you want it to read 25 or 30 degrees depending on the chain, 30 is usually ok for most chains. Look to the side of that, it goes up in 10 degree increments, you want to set it 10 degrees each way for each side of the chain, so the grinder will be grinding at an angle of 10 degrees. at the back is the angle of the grinding stone itself, it goes from 90 to 45 or somthing i think, i found 50/60 was enough to give a curve on the cutter but not too much to undercut it and leave a hook. the screw on the top of the moving 'head' is the limiter screw, use that to adjust your depth of the grinding before it stops, best to adjust this for each chain . As you start each chain, set the grinder to take the right amount off the first one, assuming all the angles are correct (55 degs on the back, 10 on the side and 30 on the front) all you have to do is change the limiter screw and how much the grinder will take off. dont try and do half a cutter at once, you will just knacker up the chain straight away. Its best to do it in little bits and just take an edge off until the damage has gone. After its set to do one right, leave it, and just move the chain, it will file each chain to the same length. Plus it will make you think its doing it unevenly by taking more off one cutter than another, but thats just showing upo your own bad hand sharpening or someone elses! Trust me!
