  1. Had mine done over 2 months ago. Before it was constant pain. Difficult and sometimes very painful to climb. Pain all the time even with pain killers. After op I walked out of hospital and was driving within a couple of days. I did have 2 weeks off ish then 4 weeks light work but it a hell of a lot better. The only downside is the drugs they give you to knock you out cause problems going for a dump for a couple of days. Other than that go for it

  2. Anyone know of some good strimmer guards to go round the base of young trees between 2 and 5inch diameter. The firm who do our parish council grass cutting have been killing the newly planted trees buy hitting them hard while strimming. They claim its rabbits even though every tree has been hit. Any advice greatly appreciated. Marc

  3. I've been asked to spray off (roundup) a load of allotments for our local parish. I've been asked to quote for individual plots and was wondering what sort of price I should be charging. It will be with knapsack sprayer and quite precise as they are new allotments with paths in-between. Thanks in advance. Marc

  4. Spoke to a guy I no today and he told me he'd had 60 pops taken down and was wondering how much they would be worth and would any one be interested. Access good, weighbridge close by. Don't know the size's as yet will have a look later

  5. They are but in this type of weather they can be a pain. Had to modify a tractor thermostat once in the middle of harvest due to overheating never overheated again. Stayed cold in winter though. I will reinstate mine when summer is over

  6. Pulled thermostat out and it didn't look right. Placed in boiling water and it didn't seem to do anything so have removed it completely. Just done a test run and the temp stayed normal. I hope this has sorted it. Radiator is in good condition and clean. Thanks for the advice

  7. I am a self employed (not vat registered) doing trees and fencing with the occasional landscaping if I'm not busy which at the moment I'm buried with work. Would I be better leasing a vehicle or buying one. I'm also a trained mechanic so repairing stuff isn't a problem. The problem is finding time to fix stuff . Also what sort price would I be looking at to lease a arb truck . Any advice appreciated

  8. Travelling back from Birmingham today towing a large ish chipper my van started to overheat. It didn't go in the red but did keep going up when driving up hills and back down to normal when going down. I'm thinking its the thermostat as is levelled out a bit when I turned on the heating full. Its a 90hp transit and it did the same run yesterday with no problem. Would I be right in thinking it's the thermostat or would it be something more serious. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
