Reminded myself why i went from landys to japanese...

I take it you aren't very keen on them then ? -
I would be happy to anywhere near 330 to a tank from my 09 Ranger

Ours have clipped wings, they can't get over the 6ft to the neighbours anymore, but they can sort of hop onto a 4 ft fence of their run, but but the dog soon chases them back. It is really down to them to keep them in though, but would be better to kill it now than let it suffer for longer I would have thought.

My bad for assuming they were 3 trucks you had owned. At some point we are going to play with my 130 300tdi, but am going to use a VVT kit, as you have said playing with the standard one is not ideal, that along with a full width intercooler, but that is going on a reconditioned lump If you decide to break the one thats gone pear shaped I would be interested in buying some bits off it. -

Bit of chemical metal and a new valve and that'll be as good as new You can't beat a good landy bashing Sorry but if you have done that 3 times to a 300tdi as said above you need to either look at your maintenance programme and/or your driving. oil changes at 6k with good quality oil and cam belt changes and they just keep going. 300 & 200 tdi's are very rugged built engines and even tweaking shouldn't cause problems if done right. And for the landy bashers, sure they ain't perfect but if you know of any jap/euro pickup that will run legally at 7 ton all up all day every day and still get 25-27mpg I'm all ears, and I do run both. I have said it before, a lot of the reason land rovers get a bad name imo is because of a certain well known make of very cheap poorly made pattern parts that should be banned. -
Consider using the same size text on all pages as your "about our tree services" page. Remove the image that contains all your header information, it's not very crisp and clear, if you can use the images but do the wording in text not as a graphic, that should also be better for SEO Just imo Edit: I personally won't deal with firms that don't put their address on the website.

Hyundai are decent diggers and that is a good price. But are they actually made by Hyundai or like the smaller Cat's made by someone else and badged as Cat, so I have been told. Would be interesting to find out.
-
Have to agree with that, very nice indeed.
-
Funny you should say that but the local dealer who has taken these on is also the local main suzuki dealer I wonder if there is some tie up

Dodgy Ebay listing Bewarned do not buy this truck!!
scraggs replied to arniecardigan's topic in General chat
Was is this one ? Ebay told him off, I would be suprised if they even bothered contacting him. -
I would rather push a wheel barrow to the job. "Made in China" no thanks
-
sorted that for you
-
Good luck with that. I have dealt with some crap companies in my time but EE must be high up on the list. Phoned to make sure the line was going in today, over an hour and a half later they inform me that they can't use my old number (which they said they could and that was why I went with them when I ordered) and that it was going to be on the 14th july, which then became 17th, but I still can't have my old number. I had to take a mobile contract to get the phone/broadband package with them, which was a whole load of fun canceling as it's over 14 days. I wouldn't touch them with a very long barge pole, one of those companies that are ok if it all goes ok I think. Rant over, I have wasted a whole morning waiting in and sorting this bunch of rubbish.
-
I will let you know tomorrow I have a new line going in tomorrow for another phone and fibre broadband with EE. Been quite pleased with the way they have dealt with things so far as we have moved the mobiles over to them aswell as part of the package. they have guaranteed 43mb/s which will be a huge improvement on the 1.5mb/s we currently get.
-
Am interested to know what they are like loaded off road, do they grip ok ? I know my landy can walk all over the ranger loaded off road, even with both having very similar tyres.
-
That's good to hear, nice one
-
Been struggling lately with sportsbikes because of the riding position, and my xvs650 was a nice comfy ride but was like a snail, so I have been looking at some bigger cruisers, then last week I took a triumph speedmaster out on a test ride. A week later the xvs is gone and this has taken it's place Shame the weekend weather is supposed to be pants.

Grab Lorry required Romford/Chelmsford Essex

The saving is just a bonus really, it's the getting one statement and one monthly payment and not loads of fuel receipts in the trucks, that I prefer. Around here it's all microwave rubbish anyway
-
You will get the price difference back in increased MPG from non supermarket fuels, I never touch it unless I get caught out and have no choice.
-
it's a keyfuels card with BWOC
-
130.4p this week on keyfuels next week 130.6p
-
It's cheaper to get a fuel card than buying in, unless you are buying in huge quantities. I am currently getting nearly 2ppl cheaper with my card than buying 1700ltrs bulk. And then the worry of it being stolen.

Done a delivery the other week, while I was unloading the neighbour came round with some nearly new crane pads, he asked if I wanted them, asked him how much he wanted for them and he said take them or they are going in the skip
