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?

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.

Burn it. All the extra transport, materials, work etc involved in disposal, recycling etc is far worse for the environment.

Dear Mrs Watchmender, You have my [specific watch]. You promised to post it to me on [date]. I sent the postage money on [date]. I really do sympathise for your loss but I want my watch back. Please post it in the next fortnight or contact me if there’s a problem. If I don’t receive it or hear from you, I’ll come and collect it. I reiterate my condolences and look forward to not having to take any more of your time. Yours sincerely, agg221 If she doesn’t post it, follow through. 10:00 Saturday knock, no flowers, wife and kids making tea on a gas stove at the back of the car. I’d say enough time has passed for the above to be acceptable form. Or from an alternative view of human interaction, I’m sure she was able to pull herself together enough to cash his life insurance. Lawyers are for properly last resort, adversarial situations. They’ll sense decency and accordingly skin you for “proper” letters.

Could you get a picture of what the stops look like please.

Have the definitive regulations regarding firewood?
AHPP replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
Biomass is size graded (commonly 30mm and 50mm) wood chips, generally for automated boilers. Logs are logs for the living room fire. Terms reasonably notorious in the industry, unless you’re a farmer, in which case biomass also includes car tyres, dead dogs and IKEA wardrobes.
