  1. Depends on what you are cleaning with it really, I have had my last load of jizer in for just over a year but it's pretty useless now.
  2. It's a great idea and a nice little loader but be interesting to see how sturdy that is going to be.
  3. Sealey are putting out some terrible quality stuff lately imo, you might want to look at cheaper different makes.
  4. I know it's thier cock up but it's you sitting there in the cold you would probably be better off to arranged your own plumber to sort it out and bill them including an arrangemnt fee, they are pretty much worse than useless and i'm sure they survive by preying on older people who think it's best to deal with british gas because that was all you had years ago. Had all this with my mum & british gas, they were taking money for a boiler contract that included parts, trouble was that you couldn't get parts for it and hadn't been able to for quite a few years and they knew that as they had been told that by the manufacturer.

    Laying turf

    How longs a piece of string, depends on what the ground is like, ie is there an existing lawn or soil type, how much leveling to do and also how much barrowing is involved. Hard to say but on average I would allow 2 men 3 days, and expect a really nice job of it.
  6. I was once advised that it pays to change accountants every few years as they can become complacent, and I pretty much agree with the statement from experience, new broom and all that.
  7. Is that one of the ones with the floor that tilts aswell ? I am thinking of getting one of those to replace my new Ifor with. If you are buying new I would be looking at bateson & brian james over a new Ifor, thier build quality has taken a bit of a dive with the latest models imo
  8. Not trying to stir things up here but how can it be mis sold, surely you knew what you were getting into when you took this stuff out, or did you not read the small print ? I'm just interested to know is all.
  9. Maybe it was them who put it there Good he has got it back though but sadly not complete

    ad words??

    I use it and although it can be costly it does get results, but quite often if it suddenly gets costly you need to bear in mind your competitors can be adding up your bill by clicking and using various methods to make it look not so supsicious. I use tracking software to check where the clicks are coming from and how often, it flags up too many suspicous clicks You need to keep a very tight reign on it otherwise it can be a very expensive way of advertising
  11. Posting this for a friend who needs a electro clutch for a carlton 2500-4 with a lombardini. He needs a new clutch, is there anywhere in the UK they can be picked up from or is carlton the only place they can be got ?.
  12. I had a fourtrack for several years, was a really good tow motor, and I thought it fairly economical for the engine size, the only problem we had with it was it had a sudden severe gearbox oil leak and the gearbox belly pan was lined with some type of material and it soaked all the gear oil up, so no one knew it was leaking, which led to replacing several gears and bearings in the box.
  13. PM sent
  14. A friend of my mums (84 years old) got ripped off by these thieving scum bags. I get my fair share of them phoning and play them along as long as possible, whilst I am wasting thier time they aint screwing some other poor bugger over, but the last one I had I kept going for about 20 minutes and she was furious when I finished, she then proceeded to phone me every 30 minutes for the rest of the day hurling foul langauge down the phone at me, she got even more upset when I kept saying "I love it when you talk dirty to me" They should be put up against a wall and shot imo
  15. I asume you meant green reaper ? it's a disc type spreader wont the vanes be the wrong way around on the tow one if you push it ?, so you could push it but you will get product all over you, and if you pushed it from the tow end the vanes won't flick the product properly.
  16. Yet another one, sorry to hear of your losses, thats a huge haul and I hope you get sorted really quickly.
  17. Domainmonster are pretty good, don't use thier back order domain service though.
  18. It's your life but imo do yourself a favour and try your diet before you let them start doing possible irriversible damage. As said before I don't have a lot of faith in the medical system, for some reason there are a lot of doctors out there who don't believe that ilness can be linked to what you eat.
  19. rear facing are a tight fit in a double cab, you will need the passenger seat pretty far forward, so you won't stand a chance with a king cab.
  20. Or fugly would be better suited in this case Don't like it at all.
  21. My intolerances started when I was in my late 20's but my youngest son was born with exactly the same intolerences.
  22. I think it depends a lot on how much you want to lift. There was one on here a while ago for sale, which was similar to this I have looked into it but the local crane firm won't fit one the size I need due to stability issues
  23. I was diagnosed with IBS by a doctor many years ago, then after ending up weighing just under 8 stone I was lucky enough to meet my girlfriend who has a vast knowledge of food allergy and intollerence. Long story short, after months of a very strict diet (living on rice cakes for the first few weeks) then slowly adding stuff back, we worked out I have a gluten and dairy intolerance. I am now somewhat sceptical of doctors who spend very little time in thier training studying diet, and personally feel that some tend to use IBS as a blanket term for "we haven't really got a clue" Probably something to do with the way food has been modified, but there are more and more people with gluten, oats and dairy allergies now days, and it might be something you want to look into. I dread to think where I would be now had we not found out what it was, but now have very little trouble unless I accidently eat something with it in, which is very rare.
  24. Yes this one was done with a pipe cutter, I had welded the bolts up on it after one went around the corner a while back and that one was unbolted, anoyingly I heard something during the night and never thought anything of it as it was windy and just thought it was something getting blown around outside. Time for some huge security upgrades around the place next week, yet more expence just to earn a living. I had thought about welding some strips down the new pipe although apparently they arent so interested in the pattern part ones as they contain far less platinum than genuine ones, but how true that is I don't know. The nomadic camp has already been visited.
  25. For the 2nd time in less than 3 months I have more stuff stolen, this time is was the cat from my ford ranger, taken from the front of my house in Alresford Essex last night. Apparently there has been loads stolen in the area recently and mainly from 4x4 trucks, so I don't now how but try do what you can to protect your trucks.
