  1. Average 30mpg in mine. Excellent turning circle, super cab very versatile.
  2. Whilst it does seem unfair that account holders are being hit with this levy, have they ever paid tax on their savings in the past? I don't know the answer to this but if they have not maybe it is time they started - UK account holders have had tax deducted from all credit interest regardless of their balance for many years. The economic problem with a lot of Mediterranean countries has been their reluctance to pay taxes of any sort. When the slump happened I remember hearing a Greek businessman resident in London state for generations the Greeks have avoided paying taxes and now this was coming back to bite them.
  3. PPI calls have moved on to "Did you work in industry which may have effected your hearing?" I reply "Sorry,cannot hear you" and hang up!
  4. Zetor Might be of interest to you
  5. My friend has a log grab for a 360, it's big as it was 13 ton machine (I think). I can find out more details if you wish.
  6. That's summer for Crook!!!
  7. Why not have a look at the new Ford Ranger - it's coming out tops in all the comparison reports I've read.
  8. Oooops!! Ta da..... http://offroadaction.ca/:blushing:
  9. Stumbled across this through another post on Facebook. Some fantastic pictures of Dodge Power Wagons - even a woody wagon and a double cab 6x6. I think they look great either all shiny and bright or more traditional looking. Enjoy.:thumbup:
  10. Surely it would have value as firewood rather than just wasting it??
  11. Are the dimensions for the small one not wrong?? 1Hx1Wx1.2L = 1.2 but it looks way smaller than that.
  12. No,different one that.
  13. BFGs all the way. I had the old style mud terrains on a Ninety and did 20,000 miles before I sold it - wear was minimal. A friend had BFG ATs on his Jeep and did 65,000miles. My Ranger has its original Michelin LTX ATs on and after 55000 miles the rears are half worn but a front one had worn on the edge due to tracking being out. I have been advised to put the spare (which is new) on the rear along with another new one and put the rears on the front and get the tracking sorted. Trouble is Michelin dont make the tyre now! This sites very good Search Results - 4x4 Tyres and helpful on telephone.
  14. They were in good condition, ages ranged from 6 years to newer and the company who put them in the sale guaranteed them for a week. Did not see the flails though.
  15. Yes you can but don't think capacity would be much either. Leyland DAF 45.150 4x4 Drop Side Cargo Truck for sale/ MOD direct sales, UK
  16. Rich, I would certainly recommend your friend speaks to Consumer Credit Counselling Service as well. When I worked for one of the high street banks we found customers who went to CCCS for assistance rather than CAB had a better experience and their lenders were happier.
  17. Max load Jon is 4200kg,so take off the crane etc and it will be less obviously.
  18. Has he not been to see any advisors either at the Citizens Advice Bureau or the Consumer Credit Counselling Service?
  19. Was at a collective auction at Hexham yesterday and a local company has put in a lot of their forestry and landscaping equipment. I saw the following lots go under the hammer: Husqvarna strimmer £250 Husqvarna 385 £380 Husqvarna 575 £320 Husqvarna 365 £310 Husqvarna 357 £240 Husqvarna 338 £200 Stihl MS200 £220 Echo pole saw £200 All plus vat plus 5% buyers commission
  20. Was a Botex crane on an adapted trailer by the look of it
  21. Nice trucks, especially the DAF but will the load capacity not just be a couple of ton?
  22. Same as everything else - different people will have different opinions. My mate has had two over the years and swears by them. Even had a Unimog and a Fastrac on demo in the same week and he felt the Fastrac was far better. Suppose a lot of it depends on what you plan to do with it. Good luck with whatever you decided.
  23. Client of mine had same problem and after the installer visiting a few times, discussions with the shop where she bought it and even with the manufacturers, turns out she had two air vents in the room - thought she only had one so had closed this but didn't realise there was a second hidden by furniture where the heat was escaping through.
  24. Yeah,it's a beaut Jon. It doesn't do a lot of work at all but we may have more work for the trailer coming up so Ian's thinking of going back to a Fastrac...but he just cannot bring himself to get rid of the TW - I think it's the size, classic styling and sheer grunt that its got that is the magnetism. Have a good weekend Jon.
  25. Had my first drive of my mates TW20 this week. Its a big brute with a tiny steering wheel but very precise steering. Loved it!
