I don't have enough milling experience to say you're right or wrong there but I completely concur on crosscutting. I was cutting 2.5x bar length with a 36"/90cm the other day. Tooth lengths all over the place but depth gauges done well. Cut fine, steered well, ended up totally flat enough.

Simple but brilliant. Make them better than Stihl and take over the world.

Still on the subject of old/cheap ones, how are the mini lorries for getting through MOTs for things like rust? Panel vans can be bad for corrosion within 30 cm of a prescribed area.
-
Very helpful. Thanks. Which are the best of the mini lorries like the Cabstar?
-
Panel, box, maybe chassis cab. Confident on servicing, brakes (including new pipes etc). Can change suspension, driveshafts, CVs etc. Never done one but I could do a clutch, gearbox or engine swap. Pulling injectors would make me nervous.

In plain English it means mistake proof. Huskys aren't, which is why they're crap.

What would you recommend for someone who can do mechanical things but isn't very good at electrics?
-
Poka-yoke.

Are the 6.5 tonne ones 3.5 tonne ones with bigger springs and a bigger VIN plate like the 4.5 tonne Transits?
-
What do you think about Ivecos?
-
Would your answer be different for vans ten years older?

What are the least bad vans in your opinion?

Helpful Advice Please from SRT Climbers...
AHPP replied to Jamie Jones's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
For free hanging ascent, get your body in and focus on driving straight upwards. Thrashing about wastes energy. Redirects don't have to be down through crotches. A sling and biner can save a lot of grovelling. Persist. -
As Khriss says. Beginning of day and end of day to be double sure.

Husky chainbrakes I think are proof of the existence of god and that he’s a prick. How else could the joint top chainsaw maker in the world still be making such rubbish after all these years. I can count on no fingers how many times I’ve been on YouTube on my phone on my knees in a garden, relearning how to put the side cover on a Stihl with an internal clutch and brake.
-
Hallowed squareness. The panel vans aren’t bad for that either, bottom half of the space anyway. I suspect the Peugeot/Citroen/Fiats are even squarer but I sadly can’t drive them. The pedal boxes kill my knee. Drove one for a few days. Just couldn’t get it comfortable.

Well done. Enjoy it. I've always thought low Lutons would make excellent campers/livers.

What did you pay for what mileage and age?

I assume you meant you would do so to ascertain whether the watchmaker's widow was fit to be talked to. I would credit her with her faculties and competence until I had reason to doubt them. I do take your point about not doing bad things if you don't want your misdeeds publicised but there are three sides to every story. Perhaps she's broadly speaking innocent.

I'd be monstrously angry if someone aired my dirty laundry with my neighbours. It's not their business.

Go on, Mick. Up with the Mad Max memes.
