good customers become like friends and of course we want to help them, but dont forget that in business the customer pays for 'everything' even if that means as ad15 says adding a bit on extra on other bits..

worked for a company years ago who used untreated wood for cladding and had us spraying it with greeny watered down paint before inspection..

maybe trim the bushes down slightly below the tree to give the appearance of more 'gap'? sometimes works..

tonights ray of light..

mileage is less important than overall condition, get underneath and spend some time looking round, check everything works, usual stuff like making sure oil filter isnt rusty etc, low mileage means nothing if its been used in seawater for a couple of years with speedo disconnected..

took a gamble buying a cheapo disco for £500, gave it wash n wax, blew out the hay n doghair with a blower, oilchange, made radio work, slapped on ebay for £550 and it sold for £860, thats a big win for me:thumbup:

the true horror unfolds.. nothing had got as far as the inside of the filter, was due anyway haha, well spotted with the spare bfg my eagle eyed friend:thumbup1:, just nipped in for some food then back out with the ramps to clean underneath and check levels in diff's, gbox and transfer box-and to make sure theres no water in them.. yes would be easier/better job with a big steamcleaner but mine caught fire years ago when some idiot filled the burner tank with petrol instead of diesel:blushing:

yes dean the dampers are too long, it isnt the first time they have popped out either, one has been leaking for a few weeks so i'll pop some different ones on..

just opened the bonnet and found more mud:001_tongue: bought a box to hold kit, going to mount it to cab roof:thumbup:

managed to get mud coming under the door into the cab, dislocated a rear spring and stone chippings behind both front disks.. off to dig the jetwash out of the shed..

escort van for sale if yr interested, been reliable but 4x4 needed, if yr interested i'll stick details up..

Can you get me a price on the mirrors pictured please Ed??

yes of course liam, might take me till sunday to get a reply as im playing landrovers tomorrow.. which did you like? the wall ones or the freestanding one?

ms460 all the way..

they are impressive lumps allright but they are just sat in an old mill with no real way of selling them.. everyone says they are quality and unique etc but they need to get seen or my mates gunna go broke before long..

my mate made these.. oh they're all for sale too..

theres some funny ones here.. i've written a series of books on medieval swordsmanship, as well as being a CPA certified accountant in the state of florida

rangie classics are a good motor, my faves are the 3dr early ones, same underneath as series 1 discovery, if v8 isnt your thing then 200tdi would do the trick.. i'd love one but have no need for it while the disco is still going strong

gosh theres no pleasing you is there? dont forget hi cap pickups have approx 6inch rear overhang after the rear crossmember, if you build your 90 with a similar overhang then it would hold more, hope it works for you, some pics of it finished would be nice when you do it..

better grow some hair over it..it you can. im destined to be a baldy so id have to wear it with pride:001_cool:

always fancied an arrow on the sole of my foot pointing towards my toes with 'this way up' writed beneath, think it would be funny, probably wouldnt work on my forehead though, if you are a sound person people can see that, one of the politest people i know has tats all over and everybody loves him

fancy starting and organising a community planting group sort of thing? there was one near me but all they did was try to get grants for pathways.. needs somebody who can organise things and motivate all the bunnyhuggers to help for free or maybe pay to come and plant. i know someone who has for years grown trees from seed/cuttings from his own garden and used to supply colnevalley tree society, dont think it would be hard to find landowner willing to have a few trees raised on their land... just a thought as its something i kinda fancy

nice pics of lesser spotted fungs, my fave is the volvariella one with sugar coating on the top..

hold on a sec.. is that frost? like this?

nice pics of lesser spotted fungs, my fave is the volvariella one with sugar coating on the top..

think i've seen that last one growing in the passenger footwell on the landy, does it grow on chip wrappers or just beech trees?

managed to blunt 3 saws today on barbed wire, its kept somebody busy haha.. damn farmers
