  2. not tryed anyone yet i am aware that wirral tool , orange , aplant and other do them but thought i would offer the work out to the "arb world" first if that makes scene. just from time to time another chipper is needed and if anyone had one sitting idel for the odd days would make sence for it to make a days pay :)

  3. looking to put the feelers out there if anyone would be interested or hires out there chipper on a "self drive" basis for the odd day/week

     

    I understand that hiring out your plant on a self use basis is a worry and i would expect the answer to be no.

     

    if this interests anyone drop me an inbox on rates and terms thank you.

  4. looking to get some info prices or website on where to get hold of a large quantity of oak for load bearing pillars for a build of a Orangery on the side of a hotel thats been converted into a house.

    although i would love to do the build its abit out of my skill set but will be doing the ground works / site clearance.

     

    whats best?

     

    mill on site to spec?

     

    pre made off site ?

     

    whats the best oak to use ?

     

    rough cost

     

    dimensions recommended to load bear.

     

    any one with any knowledge or experience of building with oak and anyone know anyone local to the llanengan (wales) area some pinters would be good thanks.

  5. Don't bother unless you want/need to fit bigger tyres - it isn't as simple as just fitting taller springs. You may need to extend brake hoses, you will alter the camber of the front axle unless you buy new radius arms, you will eat propshaft UJs unless you spend a fortune on new propshafts etc etc. Heavy duty springs (or helper springs inside the rears) are more than adequate and avoid all the headaches associated with a lift IMO.

    I have just read this post and was about to offer you my 110 300tdi HiCap for sale - it is rough and ready but will be going shortly as it is currently not being used. It sounds like you bought yours at the right price to be fair. Good luck with it (I hope you like spending your winter evenings underneath it with the spanners out!). You will probably spend a lot of time fixing things over the next 12 months, but will then have a very good understanding of your Landy. They can be as bad as people make out, but there isn't another vehicle on the market that is as versatile, easy to modify, easy to fix, as good off road, and as cheap to run (parts are cheap and depreciation is glacial) than a Tdi or TD5 Land Rover. Once you have owned one you will be smitten (but that isn't necessarily a good thing!).

     

    haha the misses has all ready give me a heads up as i work to much anyway any work will be done by someone who knows what there doing so i will be there to hold the spanners make the tea and learn how its done >< hands in pockets lol

  6. It all changes with 4x4 vehicles. Below from a towing guide.

    I want to transport heavy mechanical equipment across business sites

     

    If you are looking to tow anything heavier than 2,000kg, the list of suitable cars starts to get smaller, and moving up to the 3,500kg, the list shrinks even more. Below is a list of the cars that can tow 3,500kg.

     

    Land Rover Defender

    Mitsubishi Shogun

    Land Rover Discovery

    Jeep Grand Cherokee

    BMW X6

    Isuzu Trooper

    Kia Sorento

    Toyota Land Cruiser

    Range Rover

    Mercedes-Benz GL

    Mercedes-Benz M-Class

    Volkswagen Touareg

    When towing for business, if you add a trailer, taking the total weight over 3,500kg, then a tachograph, in most cases, should be fitted. Most vehicle manufacturers will offer a tachograph as a cost option.

     

    i should be laffing then :)
