    I bought some once, there in the shed somewhere, just use good quality Lidl/Aldi work gloves these days padded and thermal, still a good grip with no ill effects.

    I think (after 20 yrs in the music industry and 16 yrs on the tools) that its certain frequencies you need to reduce rather then the overall noise level. The Threshold of pain is about 120 decibels so a lot of equipment, saws, chippers get to about that. I use of course chainsaw helmet which blocks out 90% of sound and Lidl ear defenders with FM Radio on rest of the time, I can still hear people call to me with those on whilst saving my hearing. Anyway at my age I am selectively deaf..... whats that dear shopping ....

    On one Estate I drive a 59 Defender 110 with 6000 miles on it, abs light on, drivers window lets in water! Have owned a Range Rover etc. Went to Botswana earlier this year and was given a Land Cruiser to drive about in on sand and rubble roads but its still all together and nothing dropped off did 700kms over 2 days at one place. Maybe its our climate does things in?

    That's approx £1200 per month are you protecting to mortage as well? Do you really need that much cover?

    I was warned by my insurance company to check before I bought one wether a 4x4 pickup is regarded as a commercial vehicle or not, thus needing commercial insurance, some are some aren't I forget which attract vat and which do not, maybe someone else can advise us? At the moment the van is insured as normal including business use as I do not carry goods. I am looking to go from van to 4x4 just to carry tools and a bit of chipper towing.

    I used to run my smiley Transit on a 10% vegetable oil/diesel mixture, engine ran quieter, better acceleration through the gears, cheap price for the oil (back then). V power out now seems to do the same but also of course cleaner.

    I have used a number of ride ons over the years, all were on site when I got there, really all depends what you local dealers are able to support in the end. Countax C800 Petrol on for medium lawns, brush, cut n collect Countax 2050A Petrol use this on pony paddock as well, brush, cut n collect on fine lawns Iseki SXG19 3 cyl Diesel 50cu collector amazing! great with leaves, on tarmac as well John Deer X320 Mulcher, Petrol, use this 5hrs at a time mowing, 15 litres of petrol,24 months old no breakdowns! Haytor Hydro 72 (for the animal in you) So its a bit of this and that really, some diesel, some mulcher, am sure one make must do it all.
