Hi there. well business has been crackin this year. so i am now looking to change my van. currently running a 2003 transit crewcab tipper. however its starting to look abit tierd. anyways im puzzled on what to get next. im looking for a van that looks good and had a more refined cab. as this vechile will be used for personal use aswell. as im only 20 and insurances for a van and car are riduculess. good fuel enconmy is essential and i would prefer a crew cab so i have the extra room for more folk or for the tools to be safe when i go for my lunch lol. Heres my options iveco crew cab tipper new shape 140bhp transit tipper crew cab new shape with the 6 speed box vw crafter single tipper mercedes crew cab tipper have between 8k and 10 k to spend. was think about a landy as i live in the country and when the snow comes i will still be ableto get to work. any opinions, review i would be greatfull cheers

yes they do have air controls on the top and doors. the only reason i want to keep it going is, the house get cold really quick and the walls are starting show signs of damp. i just want to keep it ticking over. so i can dry my clothes and keep the downstairs warm. before bed time i stoke it up with logs and a shovel full of coal. and close all the vents. if itgoes out tomorrow morning. i will try tipping the embers into the fire to see if it can keep going tomorrow. thanks for your advice people

Hi there. i have a Hunter herald stove` dual fuel. coal and logs. just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on the best way to keep it going through out the night and daytime. i normally put a few logs on then once they are half burned i put a good few shovel fulls of coal on then ad logs every so often. however its seems to burn out if i leave to for long intervals (5-6 hours) im using hardwood ash beech sicky birch or cherry.

well i priced it for a normally take down. just priced a little more for my time the tree has a big union so i was going to set a rigging point from the other side of the tree so nothing touched the line. i was just parinoid about any electric contucting through the tree. ive already been shocked when i worked over in portugal. after the rope came across the line and sent a canny shock through me. i was told it was insulated but it was still enough to get shaking. but anyway thats another story
