  1. I can understand the insurance companies wishing to send out a clear message, re un-restrained heavy objects, metal tools, sharp objects, never mind 2-stroke mix(potentially), inside the passenger compartment. Causing them needless hefty personal injury claims furthur down the road.(& pun intended) And the best way to get that message across is . . . just my thoughs. mth P.S. That is why most vans have, or have the option of, full steel bulkheads.
  2. The strongest force at play is the bending moment caused by heavy braking, which will be the same regardless of downsideup or upsidedown mounting.
  3. Whats the difference between a G Wagen and a Land Rover? The G Wagen keeps the oil in and the water out. BooM BooM!
  4. I kept anticipating some sort of LR link in there?
  5. Way Hey! Wor Peach is well into leaf again, well at least at each end of each branch! About 20mm of green leaf showing. Fingers crossed.
  6. tsk, tsk, That was clearly inferred in my laconic comment. And "n" is nowhere near "r" on my keyboard.
  7. That, dear boy, is pure simple statistics, a big/biggest saw cutting more timber faster, has to find nails sooner, especially in the more likely to be metal laden mature trees it will be cutting. See! There is always a "why" mth
  8. Ah Ha! He said, just now realizing why 50 year ago, his grandmother could grow phenomenal blackcurrants, just where the lagoon for the chicken litter leaked a little copiously!
  9. Will you get a Postcode with that . . .
  10. Nope, twill be me, useless as I am with computer technology.
  11. That's the sister vehicle to the Peugeot Burper/Rifter, is it not? which vehicle is a proper commodious little corker. P.S. I realize time is against you J, but there is apparently a 4*4 version in the planned production pipeline, from what I recall.
  12. No "k" 'K, tis "coked", only wine gets both "corked" and "de-corked"
  13. Hmmm, since a professionally built 3500kg flatbed/tipper trailer will weigh 900-1000kg empty, I kinda imagine for a 5500kg gross trailer the chassis, running gear and superstructure could be nearer 2000kg for the presumably longish chassis required, and superstructure stiff/strong enough to restrain logs(pure gut feeling, nowt more) I am also unaware if you are intending to run under an Agric exemption, or if that even applies for 56mph speeds. but I would however have imagined air was mandatory for 56mph. So cant really help, mth
  14. I shall require to consult my IT person, i.e. Lydia re this matter.
  15. But she already is, well fucked . . .
  16. "G" Wagen surely? On a 461 chassis, if LHD was acceptable. Or I know where there is a lovely LWB "G" pickup, loving built from a Wolf chassis with all new MB parts, so effectively brand new. Not sure if it would/could be registered a Commercial though. MTH
  17. Make that 59, incl the 3 of ours. I hope Lydia got some good photos. Unfortunately the cameraman from Leinster 4*4 had to dive for cover during her outstanding(and genuinely so) off-roading at Anagh Gap. In the wee red "G"(trailered there and back, about 450 miles return) Her ould Dad was so tickled. Marcus

  19. The Irish GWagenregister club are hoping to have some 40 No. G Wagens rounded up this weekend for Eddie Gilmartin's annual jamboree, I might take photos, but the daughter will probably have a proper camera along, fingers crossed.
  20. fingers crossed Do I need? a fourth? That much? EDITED with Jackson's reply. Thank you for your enquiry, I can offer the following, Mercedes G wagon 250 LHD box vehicles, choice of 2 in stock in good condition, 15,000-30,000 kilometres only, Price each from £19,500-£22,000 plus vat
