    I have noticed the newer landy owners don't wave much.

    There should be a manufacturers recommended minimum disc thickness. I had a transit minibus that I thought needed new discs last year, it felt like a deep lip,but it was actually a huge amount of rust built up on it. when checked with a mic the disc was hardly worn.

    It must be bloody hard being perfect

    Look into Dinitrol over Waxoyl, I done all of the body on my 130 rebuild with it and wouldn't touch waxoyl again, 4 years on and the Dinitrol is still like it was when I put it on. I put a first coat of cavity wax on and then put the black underbody wax over that.

    Ibex's have the axle as far back as it can go and apparently the swb ibex is a dream to tow with. It's the reason I didn't want any overhang on my 130, less rear overhang does make a huge difference.

    It's a very nice stable setup. I have some friends who run 2 of that exact setup without any problems.

    Joint Pain

    scraggs replied to Backpain's topic in General chat

    I visit an osteopath once a month. May sound a bit ott but he has made my life soo much better. I used to have to manipulate my way out of bed in the morning and it hurt like hell.

    They still have one of those in East Bergholt, rare thing now days.

    Stuff Steve what about the rest of us

    Although they are valid points, especially the tyre scrub, they do tow much nicer than a twin, having now spent a few years with a tri-axle every day I doubt I would consider twin axles again. That tri-axle Brian James tipper looks rather nice.

    How much is the Brian James ? I have seen a few of them about now and they look a nice well built and well finished trailer. As I said resale value is the only thing that would concern me.

    The only alloy used on the bed is the centre section. They may do lots of testing but it's not a lot of use if you don't use what you find out. They had a problem with the centre posts cracking badly, first the welds break then the steel cracks through, when we called them about it they said "yes we know about that problem, we will send you a new set" trouble is the new set are identical to the old ones, so they really sorted that problem out. Like I said I wouldn't touch their tippers again, the flatbeds still take some beating though.

    I have the newer style 10x5 and am not very keen on it compared to the old design. It doesn't get used much now I have the crane trailer.

    I find the covering strip between the ali and steel floor a pain in the backside when shoveling stuff off. Unless they have changed them the battery charging is not standard, but is easily added.

    Very relaxing, I used to do a lot myself but sadly just don't get the time now, I should try make time though.

    The quality of ifor tippers is nowhere near what it used to be imo, when they brought out the lightweight models they made a huge mistake. I would be looking at the Brian James tippers if I was replacing mine now, they look well built from what I have seen, but as said ifors do always hold their resale value.
  18. scraggs
    Do well Graham I will contact you when I get near to needing them.

    I must have missed something, I didn't realise you now had a mill. I have a couple of nice oak sticks I may want milling into 8x8 posts for a porch if you were interested ? but won't be until mid next year at the earliest.

    Kayaking and my motorbikes, also getting back into home brewing again if you can call that a hobby.

    cheaper for a britpart one from the link I put up.
  22. scraggs
    The originals aren't that expensive filler I used one of those and just made a bracket up off the steel part of the mud guard Will get a pic tomorrow

    I wouldn't recommend that, word will soon get around you are an easy touch and then all the unscrupulous buggers will be wanting to employ you. I would start by a visit to his house, most people pay face to face. That said it would be good to know the reason why he doesn't want to pay you.

    generally known by many as sh$tpart I refuse to take them from our local indie landy parts place, they must survive on people not being bothered to return stuff under warranty.

    I don't think it's even £100 plus tyres this year Although I did spend nearly £1500 on the turbo and intercooler but they weren't essential
