Ouch! not a friendly one then I wish I had gone into milling when I had a chance 25 years ago

That's pretty bad luck. I would be having words with the seller to try get them to contribute towards the cost. I know bugger all about greenmech but. Looks like a standard UCC filter housing, and I would think it's a standard make axle and running gear, I would be surprised if they were making their own. For the filter housing try flowfit, you may need to speak to their tech dept to cross reference it as I don't think they do UCC, but any hydraulic shop should be able to get it if not. For the axle try get a name off it or if it's suspension units unbolt the good side and run it into your local indespension or trailer shop, or measure the mountings and work it out from there on indespensions website.

I haggle but hate doing it.

It's a land rover, they are virtually undrivable empty mine carries the weight well but it has +2" HD springs and assister springs inside, hard as rock though.

Most but not all 130's are 3500kg there is the odd one at 3050kg for some reason, so pays to check the plate under the bonnet, they should all be plated to tow 3500kg. My 130 with ally dropside and steel subframe can carry 1400kg iirc

Nice one
-
I have seriously considered them but then I put my sensible head on and forget the idea. Pants towing capacity of 2200kg is the killer for me, and some parts are not available unless you manage to get second hand. But without a doubt they are a nice looking bit of kit.

Comes in 20 different colours

I hate to see people use them before laying turf to help prep, but after it's laid is a definate no no imo

I asked for that one But I think you know what I meant

Perhaps you should take this up with whoever supplied and fitted the tyres ? You done well to get away without a fine, but still a pita. To add to this Essex police apparently now have a dedicated vehicle on the road for pulling trailers. Vosa are apparently having a new office/weighbridge built by the new Col utd football ground, nice and convenient for the A12 Just to make life a little more interesting

Might be worth a look in the service metals book, possible that it could have been built using standard profiles, which will save costs.

And welcome to you too Nice first post

So you have no insurance until someone has threatened you ? Not a very clever thing to do imo NFU would be a good starting point if you only leafleted 40 houses it should be pretty easy to narrow it down if it's someone who don't like competition I would have thought. What on earth is wrong with people nowadays

6.2 ton

I reported a phishing auction the other day, very cleverly done, the auction page forwarded to a very good fake page, that bypassed their contact system. I reported it and the tard on live help couldn't understand what was wrong with it it wasn't removed for several days Yahoo auctions was much better and I had some real good bargains off it.

Bad day Hodge ?

The new Dodge Ram Dually 4x4 with Cummins has a kerbweight of 3560kg In 4x2 Cummins it's 3380kg There is a big difference (nearly half a ton) between the diesel and petrol weight. I don't know about the Ford's as they didn't interest me due to the fuel economy of the powerstroke diesels, but someone I know had a 2500 Ram with 5.9 Cummins and it was pretty much built like a lorry with a pickup cab, but 300+HP was appealing

Rob at MCA Kingstone is good to deal with, we have some of our bulk soil bags from him and the quality is better than some of the others we have used.

I looked into it quite deeply a few years ago and came to the conclusion they are ok if you want a posing truck and didn't want to put anything heavy in the back, or you are going to be using it purely for towing. If you are using it for business it opened a minefield of plating, O licence and tacho issues, in the main due to them being built like tanks and being close to 3500kg empty, especially the 350 and 3500 models from various manufacturers.

I'm sure we could send you up plenty of landfill to help out

Not a very clever or ethical way to do business. I hope you get your money back.

How are people finding their new Ford Ranger?

Did I miss something ? What have they charged you £277 for ? -
Quick pressure wash and a bit of Tcut and your sorted My first non moped was an RD250 that had been stolen and dumped in the river.

If you are applying for a patent then it's best not to discuss the product with anyone else except your patent agent first. I remember something about if it had been discussed openly you can't patent it, or something like that. When you read a well written patent application you can see how they earn their money.
