    Hi there hoping someone can offer a solution, the headlights and rear lights on my 130 have stopped, i have checked all the fuses (normally this happens with badly wired tailboards) and they are all ok, i have noticed that recently the lights come on slowly almost like those long life ones you buy these days in the house. The other day I put a new bulb in a headlight as the mainbeam in that side had gone and it still did not work, then this, are they linked? I think perhaps it is a poor earth, but where is the earth?. Thanks in advance, Mick

    I do it differently; get a height from the client, talk about it then just do it, do not consult during the work (if poss) as they will only fret and put you off. I do not ask the groundy either as they cannot really see from under the tree. Don't do it by commitee as it becomes a dog's dinner. Just my thoughts on it.

    I forget his name but someone on here calls them the mortgage tree, and he's right.

    Good Pics, nice weather for it, not the biggest you say, not the smallest either!

    I just pump it in till you can hear it coming out the other side, maybe half a dozen pumps, I do it every 10 or so hours. I doubt its the bearings you can hear, probably something wrapped up in there;

    Mark, when you are in a hole.......stop digging

    I stopped being too nice after a year or two, short, to the point, and on with the job, if they get really irritating then spin 'em a yarn.
  8. Le Sanglier
    Yep done that, or a half-way house for young offenders.

    If it was a bearing at the business end you might have cause for concern, however it seems to me that bearing should not come under too much strain, compared to the ones at the top and bottom of the cutting head. Ps i have a 1625 but I'm no engineer!

    Been -10 or so for 10 days here, first the digger then the landy froze, (luckily no damage) now the pump on the fish pond!

    Thanks, what a gem!

    Good pics Geoff, tell us about the big old one.

    Dead right, you cannot get every job, don't sweat it.
  14. Le Sanglier
    dunno, cannot see the point.

    You're stuffed, and it's your fault. Similar thing like this happened to me recently, I was right (and we both knew it) and eventually got my money. I should, however, have made the quote clearer. I got lucky partly due to my "robust discussion technique" But next time out comes the aerosol and a more detailed quote.

    Interesting, instructional but a bit boring, repeating yourself a bit. More editing needed.

    Ok as people have taken the trouble to think about it and reply i will come clean. After Treewolf's guidance I double checked the level and you guessed it, it was very low. I thought that if you could see the fluid it was ok but then I saw the dipstick on the cap and topped it up and up and it kept going. So problem solved, i guess the whirring was the pump struggling for oil. Owning a landy is always an exercise in fluid retention(as indeed is the male body after 45) 2diffs, 2 boxes, Hydraulic tank for the winch, not to mention the engine itself. Thanks for the pointers.

    Cheers, I will check all those, just plucking up courage (minus 4 add the wind and its not nice to be under a def)

    My 98 300tdi occasionally loses power steering when setting off and this morning there was a whirring noise (which disappeared). Pump or steering box? 60 quid against 250! ps not losing any fluid. thanks in advance.

    This bit of photoshop has been knocking around on AT for years . (no offence)

    Got it, Thanks:001_smile:

    What sort of mini-loader have you got? I was thinking of investing.
  24. Le Sanglier
    Yep. One less thing to worry about.

    Same engine as mine, it's difficult with grinders as they have a short life, but I would always go for one with hydraulic controls because you can use it all day. 200 hrs is a significant time (mine has done 600 and it is very tired) it is all about bushes and belts,

    It does look tidy though. It looks quite old for so few hours, I'd be tempted.
