    EE landline

    This is the reason I now have my lines registered as business lines with BT, the issue we had was sorted the same day. Costs slightly more but worth it imo.

    Pallets

    I know where there is a load free, they just want them cleared, but Colchester is probably a bit too far for you.
  3. Myself and another member on here bought some barrow bags from bag supplies a couple of years ago and the covers didn't last much over a year, I wouldn't use them again.
  4. Its a shame these don't have a gross 7000kg
  5. I hope you get him sorted Jon We get far too attached to our dogs, and it's really distressing to see them ill. Sadly we had to put Willow to sleep this week after battling with her liver failing. I don't mind admitting I am devastated.

  7. Unless I am missing something that is only 2 places. You really must try harder Dean Hope you are OK Edit: I must look harder
  8. Another good programme ruined, shame as I liked it but I suppose all good things must come to an end. Bring back Angus Deayton I say.
  9. I have one, currently filling big bags and pulling out 1700 pear trees. It does the job but having had a Kubota aswell I wouldn't call it the best machine, but it get's the job done.
  10. I believe it's something to do with the vacuum pipes to the diff lock/rfw on the front axle
  11. I can If you do re use it like Johny said make sure it fits back exactly right, and get it changed soon as poss.
  12. You can but it's not advisable, especially if it's under a lot of strain, they are cheap as anything and most bearing shops should stock them.

    110 Tipper.

    TBH VOSA weren't really that interested, I mentioned about taking it in for an SVA if they wanted and they said there would be no need. I should have got it in writing and had I proceeded I would have tried to. I also ran it past the NFU as it was them that will insure it and all the underwriters wanted was a copy of the MOT, But at the end of the day if you were involved in a fatal accident it's VOSA that will need satisfying. I would assume that the design was approved at 3500kg when land rover built them, so don't see why it would be an issue provided it was upgraded to the same spec.

    If you go through the defender parts lists you can see what bits are different. I have spoken to our local VOSA office about it, they were fine with it, so long as it had the changes made, personally I would only do it if the Local Land Rover dealer could inspect it and get a proper factory plate. I believe there are a few members on here who have done it, and iirc one of those had a new plate stamped by land rover. If I ever get around to doing my 110, I will upgrade it to 3500kg, that was when I looked into it, but was a few years ago. there is a bit of info on the landy forums about it aswell. I stand to be corrected but I think most 3500kg landies have the heavier duty Salisbury axle, and that was also fitted to high capacity pick ups, and the high cap was available as a 3500kg option.

    Was a long time, but from memory it's front springs, rear springs and assisters, extended front bump stops, and then depending what wheels you have they may not be suitable for the higher rear axle load.

    You need to uprate the suspension and a couple of other bits to take it up to 3500kg.
  18. A bit of a long shot but are woodmizer's still covered by any patents ?

    It will go by what is on the plate if you get pulled across a weighbridge.
  20. Dead link I have been thinking about getting a camera like a gopro, so will watch this with interest.
  21. That's a nice looking loader. Kramer are exceptionaly good loaders, I had a very old 911 that was used for loading a powerscreen and it was great, and in it's low gears would push a house down, it's still working and according to Kramer they believe it's oldest Kramer loader in the UK. If it's a rear steer axle just watch for wear on the rear steer axle knuckle pins, and make sure you keep the bolts tight on the axle steering arms, once they come loose and get play in them they are a mare to keep tight. I am currently looking for another one.
  22. Has to be better than putting a match to it I would have thought.
  23. That's a bit of a waste, surely someone would pay something for it ?
  24. I use Sainsbury's strong espresso beans in the machine at home, then try various mixes when my g/f gets them at the coffee stall in town but it has to be strong I found out about the Aeropress the other day and bought one so I can have a proper coffee during the day at work, very impressed with it so far. I haven't had a cup of tea for years and don't miss it, but I do like my coffee
