  1. With me i can work any machine you give me, but the easiest to work id say is a kubuta machine or a jcb, even if you have no exp, dosent take half hour to get the hang of using the machine.
  2. Local paper will do you well!! Around here alot of traders use the Guardian for there main source of advertisment, Or you could use local advertisment websites, and pay for featured ads what get you seen more then standard free adds, i have done this before and its got me quite a bit of work. For me i use, my website, leaflets, biz cards, and advertisment boards outside of jobs etc, but im looking into the paper etc but i believe its 400-500 a month around here
  3. :pan: sorry just remember doing it like this once! your way is best.
  4. Well im sure you can run a switch from your battery, positive and negative from the battery to the switch then another positive and negative from the switch to your lights? Im sure i have done it this way before i cant remember !
  5. I used a electric karcher washer for a while, Until a tow along unit popped up cheap with honda engine, which i use constantly even if work is quiet washing and sealing driveways.
  6. I wired up orange beacons on my old transit tipper, simply by unclipping a cig lighters positive and negative and clipping them on a halfords switch then wiring the light to the switch, im sure you can do the same with any chosen light????
  7. I got fined and had to pay out £300 but think it was halfed if payed within 14 days or something? The waste was some old metal fence's and posts which was actually in transport on back of my truck to my stables. Couple weeks later I got stopped leaving an industrial estate with 2 bales of hay on the back and they (enviroment agency) stopped me to investigate my load, and warned me i could get fined! They apologised after i flipped out and let me go. LOL
  8. After experiencing the heartbreak of alot of expensive tools being stolen, from some fool beating out my window! I empty my tools every night into my alarmed lock up But it does get smelly in the cab sometimes its a bonus having a friend who works at IMO car wash who gives me a full valet for next to nothing
  9. 07 transit crew cab fully comp is £1100 with me as main driver and dad as named, and single cab is £1600 something, Recommend crew cab rather then single as its better for storing tools and equipment
