  1. 2 years ago i was hit head on in my truck i was with aviva so was the other driver and it happened on the last day of my policy. Aviva was amazing with me but there replacement hire vehicle company they use was a bag of poo. where they said the would get me a truck with in 24 hrs 10 days latter after me chasing them every day to get a hire vehicle asked me if i know of any hire trucks then i gave details of 5 hire firms to them on the 12 day they phoned me and said could i get to ipswich to pick a truck up at 10am this was at 9am that was over 110miles away without a vehicle. buck back to aviva themself total ace with me paid me 10 days of loss of earnings paid me compensation for injuries and paid me exactly what i paid  for the truck even though i had it for a  year  all paid up and when i made them aware of their specialists hire firm could find me a truck they got  me a panel van to me within  the  hour and told me to keep it into 5 days after i received the money from them.

  2. had a 2007 renault master pulled really well it was a crew cab with a crane on it that was 1500kg lift still had 900kg legal payload, great mpg 42/43 mpg average pics to prove if need be but was remapped. down side i found in particular  with it, a lot of weight on it felt very floaty and light on the steering especially at 60/70mph. wet and icy would wheel spin the granny out of it but half my fault heavy right foot lol. and was very solid felt every bump in the road. the citroen and peugeot from 2007 onwards  use the 2.2 transit engine just different electrics and different brand of injectors and pump that ford would use. the fiat use a fait engine in either 2.3 or 3.0 not sure if there iveco engines being the same size engine as the iveco and being italian also

  3. are you staying just off j25 of m1? if so thats right near our yard, it'll cost u in taxis from there. bout £20 to the city. For real ales id go to the trip to jerusalum. oldest pub in notts and its built in to the caves. theres thousands of places for food, just down to what you fancey, every thing is pretty much next to each other.

     

    where staying in Kimberley, Nottingham NG16 2NR apparently its 7 miles from nottingham city center. we are just out for a laugh and say thanks to the subbies for their help over a few recent big jobs. we pay for food and the rooms for a night out and to have laugh last time we was out in norwich and got rather friendly with the stippers

  4. like i said for me i wouldnt go battery unless i have to, not being funny to the likes of stihl and husky equipment, but i do a lot of landscaping and fencing and used all of the big names in battery equipment millwake bosh dewalt makita and other brands. Even with the new generation batteries the more times you charge them the less use time you end up getting from the battery and weather can kill them to getting to hot or freezing cold, and these guys have been doing battery tools for more years than husky and stihl combined in there battery eventure

  5. dont see the point myself seems to be going a step back words in hedge cutter and strimmer in battery be much cheaper to buy electric equivalent and a decent silent generator. as the genny that will give you power for anything electrically and power where ever you need it

  6. the iveco daily is 3.5ton tow even out old 2004 one is. the newer mk8 transits are 3500kg towing, the newer twin rear wheel drive renault master and vauxhall movano model can tow 3500kg, then as said the cabstar but only the dull rear wheel model and the isuzu grafter and the mitsubishi fuso canter
