  1. i would be concerned for basal decay personally, you cant tell how far down the decay goes or how much bark could be included in those unions, if the unions had enough included bark by the time it was removed then it may be less of a concern because the decay was already compartmentalised? could the wound not be covered of filled with something like expanding foam?
  2. 41! That's a whole 21 years older than myself! Not that I'm trying to make you feel old. Oh not at all Happy birthday Dave. Enjoy the celebrations!
  3. when working on future development sites where CSCS cards are required hi viz is a must anywhere, i got a pair of hi viz stretch airs and a stein hi viz climbing jacket for this need, i also have a hi viz polo shirt, cant say you didnt see me! When working anywhere else i dont wear hi viz unless its next to/on a road.
  4. That's a cool looking truck. It looks like it gets a bit light on it's nose when it's loaded like that?
  5. If that's what you into mozza
  6. Success comes in cans Failure in can'ts
  7. The bug eyes are apparently well rated I think. So they are probably your best bet. Or jut type safety glasses into eBay for some cool shades!
  8. i couldnt fathom a guess for how much it is, as it isnt really mine! haha considering the chair is mine anyway, that seems like an unfair swap!
  9. its extremely lightweight ed! its wedged on the wheelarches and for the tilt its got a couple of pieces of wood underneath so it will allow the lid to open and sit against the cab without needing to be held up. ive got another one of those chests lying around, its 55" wide 20" tall and 24" deep
  10. We buy glyph at £40 per 5 litres. It used to be a lot less but in recent years the price has rocketed. You could try ALS amenity land services or rigby Taylor. Both are good companies and we hav had a lot of dealings with them over the last 15 -20 years.
  11. heres an update, plus a photo of the interior!
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
  16. 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!
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. ed is that shirt painted on thats all i ever see you wearing!
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. thanks for the fast responses, ill give the fuel filter and air filter a check over and see how i get on.
  24. 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?
