  1. mine says 'lotus' and just hoping pikeys cant read..
  2. i dont really mind them dislocating as im pretty sure during normal duties of my truck i would probably get stuck somewhere if it didn't articulate as much as it does.. the problem is the not relocating correctly which i dont believe there are parts available for double sprung setups? i do worry i might lose the top inner spring seats though, maybe a cabletie to the spring would help me not lose this part?
  3. use heras fencing with bottom bit buried to stop mr fox digging under
  4. whats wrong with a footpump? this guy just had a slow puncture..
  5. they dont.. you just buy special suspension
  6. well its one of them dissappearing pictures, grr blinking machine..
  7. ooh galvy chassis.. i can dream..-laid under the landy, its peaceful under there apart from the swearing/crying.
  8. arbtalk northern challenge? beats flinging shovels.. (bad shoulder) this guy is trying to jump 3 workmates..
  9. they must have been newish ones, mine started leaking after a month.. good ones too
  10. ah but can you push a loaded barrow along that 1inch wide gravelboard at the edge of the lawn? man skill with machine usefulness?
  11. me three, a lightweight bar eh? might go have a play with the anglegrinder later..
  12. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xADBQyQbIts] hope this works, sat the camera on a pile of wood for 5mins facing a nest, skip to 1:44 to see them get fed..
  13. previous owner had put a new crossmember on my truck and the next bit of chassis had now rusted through, 6mth to go for MOT but dont fancy chances when towing everyday..
  14. landy wins again..
  15. i only go to tescos when the woman has broken down, never out of choice, can't stand supermarkets, all that trolley pushing, they even do key cutting at sainsburys but like everything there i doubt they would cut the sort of keys i need anyway.. when lots of small businesses struggle like in some towns after tescotypes move in it seems very wrong.. -machines are ok..-people can be pillocks
  16. i think everyone doing this job deserves a welfare unit between vehicle after work and home..
  17. nice, occasionally all my work kit gets cleared out of the kitchen by the woman, but soon sneaks back in again:thumbup1:.. when its warm the haix'es live in the woodstore just outside the backdoor, keeps em cool - if they smell really bad the dogs fight over who gets to chew them first
  18. progress is for the best.. i couldn't manage without my sack cart, pneumatic tyres and everything:thumbup1:
  19. its brilliant having the 'open plan' dash, very easy to get to all the wires and loads of legroom, downside being when window at back of cab is left open the fusebox fills with chip pretty fast.. i would have taken a pic of the tree through the fence but we cleared it up fast and went to buy a panel before anybody noticed..
  20. just emptied camera memory card for the week, these were the best of a poor week.. an easy beech hedgetrim, prince charming, the result of a backleaning leylandii and gust of wind while felling(my first squashed fence), the window at back of cab left open for a couple of seconds and a couple of walnuts left over from a walnut fight..
  21. the squareish roll hoop looking thing just behind your cab, i think its meant to go inside the iw canopy, lift the canopy forward over it, thats how my truckman top fitted to my old brava pickups.
  22. isnt the ladder rack meant to go inside the canopy rob? i like them iw canopies for security but mine always made me look like a farmer..
  23. nice clever pic, my neck hurts..
  24. i hope that took you all day..
