See what you can get from turning up to do a day's work for an amount which so many people derided - a glowing reference and 4 weeks work.

Another for your register - a one off built for a tender to replace the Scammel Commander. Now being run with a different engine and gearbox by ALE as a ballast tractor

Thought I recognised it from your first pic Twisted! Don't forget the hard-dogs they had patrolling too. Nothing ever got nicked though - fortunately! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Common problems would be rust along the top of the chassis rails from the doors backwards, rear crossmember corrosion (not always easy to spot) and also the bulkhead, at the top between the vents and the hinges and in the footwells, especially the panels ahead of the doors (crud gets trapped between the wing and the outside of this panel, which is generally not waxoyled). Then there are problems specific to which engine is in it. May be best to join your local Owners Club, they aren't as nerdy as you may think and members will be all too happy to make recommendations and view potential purchases. Also a good way to learn the limits of the vehicle and how to safely drive to them:) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

You won't get much of a defender for a grand, and it'll not be cheap keeping it going. Anything for that money will probably not have too much chassis left. Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Wouldn't it be better to burn the diesel used in the shipping of the timber and all the diesel used by the offshore wind turbines in the power stations? Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Bump! - I'm available again if anyone has anything

Tickets bought. Would have liked to have done more, but I'm a bit quiet right now. Hopefully next year .......!

Probably lets in less rain than a standard one too Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Been thinking about doing the same for a few months now. The arrival of the Tamar recently has made me even more keen Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

I have genuine heavy duty springs with Decarbon shocks. They've been ok for about 11 years but are starting to sag a bit now Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

Went in and saw Albert yesterday. Broken rivet replaced for £1.50. Hopefully I'll get another 4 weeks out of that chain now! Thanks for the tip Andy:thumbup:
