Theyre a good bus for what they cost and they do the job well! The daft thing is i just put an alloy back on mine back end of last year and it weighs just under 2 ton! Bought an iveco 2002 as better refinement, steering brakes etc(crap payload)..... miss the ldv though, advertised it but not sure as want to sell, but its a waste to have it stood, but it's paid for itself, could be a stump grinder though? Ldv's Rule

Yup try the fuel filter, mostlikely slight water content then freezing causing the problems. Love ldv's Shame i'm selling mine, don't want to though as its a cracking machine!

With mine i just put them straight to work. My 200t was dug into a big nasty black poplar takedown on its first outing. Still going strong as to be expected!!

Are there any decent companies in the northwest to work for?
swinny replied to swinny's topic in General chat
Have yet to look at the list, but i'd be wanting to work for a small company, where staff is valued and respected -

I was given a Dolmar ps-400 saw the other day. It was apparently not working or so i thought..... anyhow the chap had bought a new one and given the old one to me. When i got the saw i emptied the fuel out, popped some fresh in and and had a quick look about it and got it started on the 4th pull excellent. I whipped the sprocket cover off gave it a clean in there, filled the oil res up and started the saw to check for oil delivery, which it did, i dressed the bar and put back together. All it needs is to sharpen the chain and its good to do some work. Looks quite mint if i were to give it a good clean! stickers clean etc as are plastics I've had a look and found out it to be 2.3hp and the equivilant to a stihl ms210 is this right? if it turns out to be a little belter, may treat it to a fresh chain without them safety links All in all i'm happy and love tinkering in my spare time

Good afternoon, for starters please don't take my title the wrong way, i do not mean there are no good companies in the north west! What i do mean is: Are there any companies in the north west, that are good to work for, do interesting jobs and good to learn from? to work with a team that is keen to work and all aspects of the job? Did that make any sence? Currently looking for another company to sub to within 25 miles of barnoldswick, lancs would like to go north than south Cheers

Go for it, especially when the the 500 euro's will be retail and they haven't cost you that much!! Look at how much it cost you to produce that volume and it will look a different proposition! it'll look a bargain

your not wrong about the chipping part..... if they'd have just paid that extra bit..... anyhow moneys in the bank and it kept you busy

I do get some work off the company yes, but theyre quiet at the moment so hit and miss. I've spend 101.00 on the truck this morning just on parts, fitted a new timing belt kit and aux belt myself... so wear and tear is always an issue with everything, i have to pay to maintain the truck so will have to charge for its use.
