    Google says... The Ranger has remote free-wheeling hubs to disconnect the front wheels from the front axle when 4wd is disengaged, reducing rolling resistance and hence tyre wear and fuel consumption.* When you engage 4wd initially (when stationary) the free wheeling hubs engage automatically. Once these are engaged it is possible to shift between 2H and 4H and back when moving (e.g. when going between solid road and snow, since without a centre differential you can't safely drive the Ranger on-road in 4x4).* This is why the free-wheeling hubs do not disengage automatically. To disengage them you press the RFW switch. This is the only time this switch does anything. If you drive > 60mph the RFW light will flash to remind you to press the button to disengage the free wheeling hubs.

    Fair enough. Not sure my van will be here in another twenty years!

    I've never maintained a vehicle electrical system or chassis. Engine yes, suspension yes, steering yes. Guess it's a landrover thing to rewire and galvanize your chassis. One of the joys of ownership no doubt.

    How do you maintain an electrical system or chassis?

    OK here but relying on friends to deliver is tough. I can load with tractor but dragging a bag too much with broken collar bone.

    Sold a guy a long lump to make a replacement beam in an old house. He bought it Monday, milled it and it went into house Tuesday. I thought it had to dry....

    Thanks! Unreal comment aimed at couriers not yourselves!

    Tractor. I can't get red at the pump here anyway but it's not as if a yard tractor doing occasional deliveries is thirsty enough for me to consider a tank.

    I run white as deliver locally. Been checked a few times only for tester to be very disappointed.

    Look around the area at what others have done. Local knowledge is everything. Any rules on felling? Licence needed?

    £22 postage surcharge on top of £5.70 postage to Argyll. Postage doubles price. Unreal.

    I'm with you Mull. Huge grants going to deer fence and plant hardwoods at moment. Heard Duke of Argyll already at £350,000 for new fencing paid for by grant, AKA you, me and other taxpayers. As for wind turbines it's tax the poor to pay the rich. Grrrr

    I split the income from the carcasses with the farmer. Nought a farmer likes more than cash in his hand for no work. Yes when fences down and deer marauding you get asked to help but once the emergency is over thinking can change.

    Carcasses are getting good money from the game dealers if you're qualified to handle them.
  22. ballibeg
    What's driving the price? Can't see where the demand is.
  23. ballibeg
    Thanks!

    Translation anyone?!
