  1. went to change the anvils on my entec and found that somebody had already tried it before me. All but one was rounded out. the two small ones i heated up till they where really warm then smacked a spline bit in to the rounded hex head and they came out so easy. With the larger one we had to weld a nut on the top. Obviously it heated the existing bolt and i think that helped as i put a spanner on the nut and it came out a treat. all new bolts going back in.

  4. I signed the petition and now get regular, spam, emails asking me to sign other petitions. Tryed unsubscribing but everytime it says server error! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Self employment is the way. Your never going to get any of the cream while your working for someone else. Even if you start off working for yourself on the weekends. Business will soon build. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app

  11. I had my 52 plate isuzu since december and the turbo went the other day. Cost 600 for the turbo and was one of only two available and that was from the main dealer. ( the turbo Is obsolete as is the repair kit) hope fully this one will last. Truck is gutless. You wouldnt know it had a turbo anyway. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app

  23. Hello there. I am looking for a person to help out on the odd day here and there. Must have the basic groundsman/ woman tickets. Not looking for the best climber here as you would be mostly based on the ground although there will be climbing opportunities if said person was aspiring to be an arborist. I am based on the eastern edge of (TA23) exmoor so somebody near would be preferable. Please email: [email protected] if you are interested. Thanks for reading Mark b
