  1. yeh but they evolved legs and attack revolving tyres (and stink when they return to water) 'warning'-post may include a slight de-rail:blushing:
  2. good point, theres a lad with a tranny who gets it stuck at the bottom of my chip pile, the landy only gets stuck when i drop it down the back of the pile, then claws its way out when i've emptied it
  3. dark metallic green looks best covered in dark brown mud sprinkled with sawdust before it dries, then dragged through a gorse bush:thumbup:
  4. is it worse to be caught overloaded or failing to stop until safely back at the yard pressing the tip button?
  5. oh dear, theres no hope for him now.. they work just fine without half a tonne of bash guards and chequerplate:001_tt2:
  6. least i never get sawdust on me socks:001_tt2:
  7. sweet, and i was thinking you guys were going to slate me for the high stump:thumbup:
  8. boot floor, inner wings, leaky sunroofs/alpine windows, door locks, sills, electric window relays, if it hasn't been off road in a while then it might stick in difflock, that'll do for now..
  9. no the real way to stop the squeak is to replace the errant pulley, but this will keep it quiet till either the next big puddle or you deem it annoying enough to fix it properly:thumbup:
  10. try to spray the back of each pulley in turn with wd40 with engine running, when it stops squeaking you know which one needs some engine oil squirting on it. yes walk.. or take the van, or bike, usually takes a day or two as he has to order parts.
  11. maybe? how do i find out? oh it was £250 but that included a load of connybashing.
  12. was expecting a thigh high shiny pair with killer heels:thumbup:
  13. squeaking is usually from one of the pulleys on the serpentine drivebelt, usually worse in wet weather, if you need the alternator fixing i know a guy round here who overhauls them for £40 if you remove it and take to his workshop.
  14. firstly Ed would like to thank you for taking the time to comment on his pics of expert tree felling, please do not try these advanced felling techniques without the correct training, ed was going to use a bore and remote release but this was found to be impracticable do to not having a dremmel on site, instead a suitably qualified expendable groundy sat on the fence to give the stem a help in its intended path with his boot, it landed with a slow whippy thwack and yes my balls are huge..
  15. 300's are bad for eating head gaskets, mine's been wearing a new head since january, i just hate the high gearing in the disco for towing, when i say thrashing i mean drive with a heavy right foot - not be a speed freak. sometimes i dream about having a fast car again but i get more fun at 5mph on the landy trials:thumbup:
  16. with the 300tdi disco you have to thrash it to get the best out of it.. not taken any pics of it yet?
  17. all the stone slabs were smooth and green, we were all expecting an early bath. it started raining when we arrived and just got worse and worse, also some of the steppingstones rocked as you stepped on them:thumbup:
  18. had a fun job this afternoon, the top pond was 1 metre deep, flat concrete bottom so ladder was chucked in, took three hours including cutting it out of the gutter and off the roof. nobody fell in:thumbdown:
  19. folding fall? huh? is that a special cut?
  20. i did think i might have to rig it down a separate line tensioned by the skidsteer, but poor access like you wouldn't believe and the helicopter was on a callout, i did the brave thing and dropped the beast in a one'er..
  21. did i tell you how big it was? and how tight the gap was?
  22. threading the needle.. looks shorter than it was, top of a hill with the wind trying to push it over the fence.
  23. its not undone.. its broken:blushing:, they wanted to thin out some pines and plant up as a native wood with oak etc, but have no money so gave the land to me because i said i'd like to do it as a project type thing:thumbup1:
  24. thought there would be more to it than i could see.. still interesting though. fave customer ever actually, they just gave me a 2acre wood..! still can't believe it:thumbup1:
