  1. if there is a lip on the edge of the vehicle one guy can grab the rear two handles and pull and it will dump them in a nice pile on the floor
  2. i don't know if people are still locking for something but wondered if these would be of any use to any one there are these which go on the ball http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Purpleline-Hitchdrive-Caravan-Mover-/390170758789 or these which replace the jockey wheel hope the help someone harry
  3. i don't know much about the side of things you guys are discussing although i wish to learn however don't you think a bigger part of what arb will be like in 10 years will be health and safty in 10 years do you think you'll be aloud to climb or will it all be mechanized it wouldn't suprise me if a whole gangs work could be done by 2 blokes and a machine what hse will alow you to do will have a far greater efect than what is needed and tree work will shrink as it costs more and more to do simple jobs this is just my opinion as the next generation of arb after seeing what construction is like by comparison and how little regulation arb has by comparison
  4. you have to search around at different models of the same vehicle like engines and trim levels modifications and so on there doesn't appear to be ryhme or reason to why inssurance companys like one extra or modifacation and not another the 2 sea swb trooper is cheaper to insure with the nfu than a normal one for young people however other insurance companys will charge you more i have a series 2 landy and my insurance is £800 and i am 17 with 1 mnth past my test if you lloked at lwb landys they appear to be more i think there considered harder to drive than a 90 also if looking at pickups see the difference between single cab and double and whether its registered and private lights goods commercial dual purpose or recreational vehicle because depending which dealer registered it it will change even on seamingly identical vehicles and these will change insurance quotes
  5. what a bout a landy a 90 hard top is suprisingly cheap to insure for teenagers and would tow more and go further than anything else or a suzuki samari or vitara or jimny cheap to insure and will go very far offroad disco or trooper comertials are also good for insurance and nissan terrano for some reason comercials are cheaper for younger guys to insure but pickups are more
  6. can anyone tell me what time honey brothers are open until on weekdays and are they open saturdays thanks harry
  7. are pinzgaurs to small for you ?? or how about the big russian kit Your First Choice for Russian Trucks and Military Vehicles - UK Russian Trucks
  8. the ground source heat is really good the farmer who built his house in a barn reconds he pays something ridiculously low (can't remember exact figure) as he has such a large system the only expensive part is the industrial heat exchanger
  9. once you've done cat c you will have to take cat c+e to tow with which i belive is arctic i belive now you can't skip straight to arctic you have to do rigid first
  10. get the 3.1 ltr as the newer 3 ltrs are can have alot of problems and what engine has the patrol got mr blair
  11. as above they are absoulotely brilliant tow motors they'll tow 4 ton up a very steep hill and not nottice however stopping is fun however they are increadibly unreliable if not looked after and rust badly how about a pre 98 trooper tow 3.5 ton reliable and comfier than a land cruiser colarado

  13. depending what measurement you sell your logs by it might be fun to do althou probally not very economical it can't be that bad as there is a company doing 110 double cab conversions to tippers altough if you get a transit with a 6x10 bed you can get 6 bulk bags of very dry wood on although if a tipper you can only get 5 on for weight reasons
  14. there talking about impact drivers if you thinking of what mechanics use thats an impact wrench impact drivers take a 1/4 inch hex screwdriver bit impact wrenches take a socket if your happy with your ryobi kit why not get ryobi also check your batteries for the mah reading if it is <2 as what usually come in the kits you can buy upto 3 mah ryobi batteries we use 2.6 mah ryobi drills sometimes and they will loads of 6 inch timberloks depending on what wood it into
  15. the leafsprung landrover forum and yes i would think they meant the genuine ones as there was a comparison picture unless britparts variations have got worse
  16. very nice mog how did they manage to blag all the free stuff ? there wasn't even the companys mentioned on the show
  17. wheel horse where the domestic version of toro they no longer exist but there sinngle cylinder geared mowers are solid we have had 5 of them the only thing they suffer from in my experience is rotten decks and lack of maitanence to the bearing but i should think this is a problem with most mowers as our 6 ft kubota was the same we even had a v2 perol in one of them although this was so powerful it shook the distributor apart
  18. dorking surrey to far ? if not L.crow do charcoal localy you could try him on 01306 712850
  19. what about torro or wheel horse if buying second hand very reliable koler engines
