told him it should go back, hes 87 and pretty stuck in his way bless him, ive worked for him for 22 years and nothing surprises me lol. i might try and convince him that it needs to go back to the dealer
-
it only has 40 hours on the clock..no end of problems but he seems reluctant to get on to the dealer. you cant tell some people !!
-
No mate , its 22hp briggs petrol engine, 727 ? i think
-
hmm, it had an issue with the main fuse when he first got it, ill chech that, cheers mate
-
A guy i work for has one of these, it wont start....so looking at fuel or electrical problem So how are you supposed to get at the engine if it wont start as grass box needs to be in its raised position to get at the engine ????? no manual lift that i can see ?? great machine but poorly thought out for maintenance/breakdowns Any thoughts ?? Cheers Mike

split shaft system
-
ithought it looked a bit cumbersome, might have to drop into my dealer and have a go with one
-
Has any one used one of these, any good ?? how does it compare to the handheld 525 ?? Cheers

Seems that a lot of you guys have had it far worse than me, makes my bloody blood boil, i too have worked for 21 years and built up my kit from nothing only for the scum to nick it and probably sell it for a fraction of the cost , and the worst part is that the police cant/wont do a thing about it without cctv footage etc, i for one will challenge any potential suspects regardless weather it is my kit or anyone elses, we are all just trying to get on and earn an honest living Cheers for all the replies/suggestions etc Mike

Was in a garage , very discreet, in the grounds of a care home, 20 yards from main building, outside flood lights etc, they took the locks with them, seems very organised but on the other hand seems like an " inside job "
-
Lost some kit last night, what does it take to keep the scumbags out, are high tensile locks and hasps the way to go ? a mate of mine reckoned that they used a rebar cutter to get in, locks were fine but hasps were mullered, as was the lashing chains around the kit, what is the way to go ????? Mike

lc4 120 series i think, 3.0 d4d engine 173bhp
-
looked at both..x trail ..43000 miles on a 12 plate, landcruiser ..127000 miles on a 09 plate, both fsh and 1 owner, both in above average condition..l/c feels more solid and great 4x4 capability, x / trail better running costs, not so rugged, either will be perfect for what i need, similar in price at £12k ..opinions please Cheers as always Mike
-
Hadnt thought of that, maybe tell them it has been modified, but would prob bump up insurance premium
-
Not an arb truck but...i have a great little outlander van/4work, great in every way but the seats are very uncomfortable, bad back gets worse when i been driving for more than half an hour, ive tried all combinations of seat pads/lumbar supports etc Anyone had experience of putting a better driving seat in one ie bit plusher from a l200 or what have you, could probably get a mate to weld runners/ bolt holes etc to make one fit Would it be an mot failure ? having different seat/modified Or should i just get a landcruiser Cheers Mike
-
Thinking of either toyo open country or cooper discoverer at3 for my jeep kk, anyone had dealings with either of these tyres, normally have general grabbers but thinking of trying something different, plus jeep is a bit of an odd size, 235/60/18 Cheers
-
had the same problem with my dolmar 9000, i went to a machine shop near me and they milled out a stihl bar for me, my old 153 in my picture had a stihl bar also milled out
-
This has happened within the last week, my trees are in a clump/small avenue , seems to be the middle ones have it, very strange, but like you say warm days and sharp frosts, ill keep an eye on them
-
At a site i look after we have a small avenue of mature Beech trees and i noticed today at least 4 have started to shed dead leaves, the canopies are looking a bit bare, i have cleared the l;eaves up and will monitor for any more shedding Any ideas as to what this is, ground is chalk , trees are probably 75 ish years old Cheers Mike
-
i got caught out on a landcruiser, cost me £700 to get it welded up, just about passed its mot , but was rotten as a carrot, probably wouldnt have passed its next mot, lost a few quid on that one, im more careful now
-
if you type in the reg number of the motor you are looking at into google,normally the first hit will be " regit" this will give you past mot history, you can check if rust has been picked up as an advisory, also mileage etc, i was set on a ranger and then checked mot history and it was a rust bucket
-
Using rosate 360 at the moment but seems to take up to 4 weeks for any noticible die back, is there anything a bit quicker ? cheers
-
This is something i wil look into
-
I have 5 garden/grounds contracts for a growing residential care home business that i am finding difficulty in getting someone reliable /trustworthy/efficient etc to carry them out, how would i go about selling the contracts ? all 5 are worth £38000, regular visits , 12 months of the year, payment via bacs,none of them are rocket science, seasonal baskets/pots etc,grass cutting, beds and borders, hedge cutting/leaf clearance, all have compost areas, all based hampshire.. any thoughts, just need to keep them looking smart all year round Cheers
