    hand brake problems no doubt...
  2. nick channer
    mine did that at 35k and they replaced clutch and gear box... always found my dealer very helpful.. they ust put complete new leather interior in mrs sport cos drivers seat had slight wear on it.. and 6 months ago they recalled my range rover 2 yrs after warranty ran out to put font diff in it.. when i had land cruiser was hard enough to get em to do anything under warranty without a dozen calls [ admitadly i did 330k miles in lanny with no sign of gearbox going and interior exellent after those miles]

    hi mate... to be honest i'm not a land rover fan... although the mrs has the sport and i couldnt bear to sell TD6 range so kept that for myself..... i've always had L200'S or such like but i have to say i just bought a 57 plate 90 with the new engine in it and as i only use it for work its the best veichle for job... it pulls like a train and is bit more comfortable than older ones and will def hold its value better than anything.... depends what you do with it... i do lot clay and pheasant shootin clockin up lot miles through year and couldnt do it in the 90..[my back wouldnt take it on long journey] but 100% for work, cant be beaten....

    ha.. i'm sure thats not true... i run a skip hire firm and we have 1000+ acres mostly arable land and do bit agri contractin too.. also sell and deliver hay and straw all over place..
  22. nick channer
    your 100% right there.. i get grief round here for being to cheap.. but where as some would price job for 550 and take 2 of them all day i price same job for 400 but do 2 similar priced ones in day with 3 men and hopefully have bit time left to split few load logs at end of day... i'd rather do 3 good full days with good money than 5 with less.. but tree works not all we do so i'm lucky in that respect..
  23. nick channer
    thats why i said think what your happy going home with at end of job or day and as its one of first jobs make sure its right as word mouth is best form of advertisin.. i no when i first started climbin on my own with a young lad helpin i could earn very good money without any hassle.... i wouldn't say i earn great deal more now than i did 15 yrs ago... lot to be said for keepin small...
  24. nick channer
    we're in amersham in bucks.. we charge 4 to 500 for half day..[unless theres lot of hedge cuttin..] and between 8 and 900 if its a full day... [more if its ticky job].. thats for 3 workers.. wether a climbers needed or not.. like i said i have to pay climber between 150 + 180 day so he'd be savin that.. wether u wanna pass that savin to customer is up to u... most crews round here charge 500 a day 4 one climber ana 1 groundsman.. but there all done by lunch time.. when i pay climber i need him [or her] to be doing a good day..
  25. nick channer
    are you gettin payed just to reduce the tree then walk away leavin all brush etc for them to clear or is 350 to do whole job.. if so i'd a said that was fair..
