Can you hear the music over the popping roof ?

PM'd someones number

It's all well and good saying put a bit aside, but having been there if you just haven't got anything coming in and it's sitting there put aside to pay the tax man at a later date what are you going to do, pretty obvious to me. I really feel for you, it's not nice having to sell kit to keep going.

So it's just me who finds him unbeleavably boring then ?

Age would help, if there are any 300tdi's I will be interested but I doubt it with that mileage

I know the electrics are lucas, the only problem is they are lucas india so are expensive. Or they were on the one I know of that had a new starter motor on it.

I recently bought a new tt3017 to replace my stolen tt85. I will not be buying another Ifor after this one, I have owned Ifors virtually since they came out and without a doubt this one is the worst trailer I have ever owned. The build quality is flimsy, there are no bed rests until 600mm from the front of the chassis, which is just stupidly tight of ifors(I have a set on order so that I can put them up the front to support the whole body), the wheels hit the mudgaurds before the bump stops, the side pins that the dropsides hinge from are so short that if you are on a slight slope the sides try comming off, the floor is now part of the tipper chassis so that will be fun if it gets damaged or worn, the lip between the chassis section of the floor and the aluminium centre section of the floor sits above the rest of the floor (pain in the backside when shoveling stuff off), the top/bottom hinged tailgate is useless because it hits the floor when tipping hinged from the bottom pins, so you still have to use it hinged from the top, only now you have a flimsy handle that locks the tailgate from one point. All in all I am completely unimpressed with the trailer as a whole and wish I had bought a second hand earlier version, we do a lot of pallet work and the bed blocks (or lack of) at the front of the bed I can see will end up with a bent bed, also the lip between the steel and ali bed will get damaged by pallets. I doubt and will be amazed if this one will last anywhere near as long as my old ifor's, in fact I see it being sold as it is also one of the nastiest trailers I have towed stability wise as it gets very twitchy. To say I am dissapointed is a bit of an understatement, and will be looking at the many other makes that are now out there, the brian james trailers look rather nice. Oh there is one good bit with the new design, the flat floor edge is really nice.

Our cocker is called "Willow" She's a stunning dog.

Sad to hear about yet another theft Does it matter a crap who or where it's gone ? What matters is yet another person has lost thier livelyhood and hopefully they can financially withstand the period of time it takes to replace the kit Jonathan probably has a good idea, if enough people were to sign a petitition then hopefully someone might sit up a think, I will PM you later Jonathan to discuss it. It now sadly is just becoming too common a thing and it's not a case of if but when your kit is stolen, I have had to put heaps of log around my rear boundry fence after someone tried to steal my new trailer a week after I had bought it to replace the one that was stolen, luckily we think they were disturbed by the security lights, my yard is starting to look like fort knox, just so that I can make a living. The police really don't give a crap as far as I can see, and someone high up needs a bloody good kick up the arse, all the insurance claims are only going to have a knock on effect to us anyway with increased premiums. If trackers are being considered, from what I have found out VHF one's are the way to go as GPS can be easily blocked.

Sending you a PM about it

Internet relay chat IRC It rarely has problems

With the site being a bit tempremental wouldn't it be better to have the site chat room using IRC ?, it would be far more reliable and would ease the load on the site. It would also give people a place to go if the site goes down.

I looked at getting one, but the parts availability issue is what put me off. Apparently if you get the ones the utility companies used they were set up differently and are much better trucks, but they are like hens teeth. Nice looking trucks though

I have a murex 240 tradesmig single phase that I bought secondhand ages ago, still love it, for me it has a quality to it that the others just don't match up to. I would far rather go for a second hand decent make than a cheap new one.

Having been involved in a murder inquiry many years ago in which all lorries of a certain colour and type were investigated as to what they had done and where they had gone on a certain day, I can assure you that if someone got killed in an accident they can do far more with tacho analysis than you would imagine, especially when linked with other information.

The one in that video is the electric one and it's nearly £6.5K + vat A bit excesive for what it is imo.

Take it on the chin and learn from it, there are no friends where businness is concerned imo.

Sorry to hear this a serial number would help

When we rotavate ready to re turf we refuse to do the job unless all the dog crap is cleared for when we get there and that is confirmed with the customer when we price the job. I don't like clearing my own dog's crap so I sure as hell ain't going to clear someone elses.

What a bunch of tossers, the thing about them visiting again is possibly true, 2 weeks after my digger and trailer were stolen someone tried to get my new trailer out of my yard, we can only think they were disturbed by all the security lights comming on. we have now resorted to piling heaps of logs around the fences to stop them getting out that way without a lot of moving involved.

I use a low watt electric fan next to the fire as I don't have room for an eco fan on top, but it certainly makes a huge difference around the house.

A set of air suspension helpers are cheap enough or a set of assister spring that are fitted to the HD version

Generaly done on a hijacked account Sorry to hear about this and I hope you can get your money back, as someone else has said if it was by card then you might get some joy taking it up with them.

all services have a recommended depth and it is more than 175mm for a gas main iirc There is plenty of info out on the net about it if you search. I found out after I rotavated through a fibre optic cable at 50mm, they came out and repaired it FOC when it was mentioned what depth it should have been at.

I have a roof and rear top bulhead panel going spare aswell Might also have a headlining depending on how I trim the inside of the one I am currently doing.
