    You should check it out as ford are supposed to help with costs to what degree I don't know

    Aren't the 08 one the last of the engines with the fault on the piston? (Cracked piston)

    question

    Richard 1234 replied to Bird's topic in Firewood forum

    From reading posts on here in general cord wood is expensive everywhere in the uk!

    I've been vaping for 18 months now. Can't stop it it's nearly as bad as smoking only it smells better😬

    I'm just a bit surprised as the l200 I had before (from new) never used a drop other than servicing

    Strange because I took it to Nissan this morning to see if they could look at it. No time until Friday but I did ask if they did use some oil he (the guy on the desk not a mechanic ) said no and that they wanted to look into it under warranty. A friend of mine has an Audi and that uses oil. Hopefully it's just running in that's causing it.

    My 6 month old navara had the oil pressure light come on this morning. So checked oil and it's managed to use 1.4L of oil in the six months. So it's off to Nissan on Friday to see if they can find out what's up with it. Can't say I'm overly impressed👎👎👎

    Yes far to big behind your CRV. Fine on the pickup though and suits my needs which is what you need to do too. The extra width from 4 to 5 foot is worth having IMO. The Brian James is well thought out with spring loaded plates in the floor that push down to fit the hooks of ratchet straps instead of hooks sticking out the floor so the floor is completely flat. Had it from new for nearly a year and the only weak point are the pins that drop into the sides to hold the doors up they are on thin wire with rubbish clips so I've lost a couple. Which reminds me I need to order some more! You won't go far wrong with one but the ifor is ok too.

    I've got a Brian James cargo flatbed on the 10 inch rims. Mine is the 4.5M by 1.9m though so without measuring I'm not sure of the loading height. By saying get the 5 foot wide I was trying to say have the centre of gravity as near to the load bed as possible. I'm not sure how much difference the small wheels make in that respect. For stability go for twin axle if you can and as an added bonus they behave themselves much better when reversing. I've also got a single axle 6.5 by 4 foot trailer. And reversing the big trailer is far easier!!
  12. Richard 1234
    Yes 👍 do yourself a favour and go for the 8 by 5 not 8 by 4 it makes a big difference. It will help keep centre of gravity lower as you won't have to stack as high.
  13. Richard 1234
    Sounds nasty😬 Good luck with it though
  14. Richard 1234
    The short answer is yes to both points. But you need to have positive weight on the tow ball. For example if you were to load a car onto a trailer the car should be driven on forwards so the trailer has more weight forward than back(the engine )

    I've git a load of grass to cut which won't stop growing but it's far too wet for the ride on and I really don't want to walk it👎👎👎👎
  16. Richard 1234
    The car will have a nose weight limit for the tow bar. Plus the front and more importantly the rear axle have weight limits too. So if boot is full and nose weight is too much you would be in bother if you went over the limits. It's worth checking out
  17. Richard 1234
    What vehicle is it out of interest ?
  18. Richard 1234
    I don't know. Normally it's braked and unbraked weights isn't it?
  19. Richard 1234
    The engine is attached to the shaft properly isn't it? I had the engine on an old fs85 come loose and that was vibrating until I realised it was that the bolt had worked its way loose and fallen out.
  20. Richard 1234
    Has the gearbox on the head got grease in it?
  21. Richard 1234
    I don't get many only 5-6 a month so it's not much of a problem. It would be a nightmare if you were putting hundreds of the things in though
  22. Richard 1234
    I only says cheque paid in for £x. And then gives the total amount. Bacs is ok but not cheques. If you feed them into machine 1 by 1 it's ok as well
  23. Richard 1234
    That shows the total amount same as the statement.
  24. Richard 1234
    Oh ok I see now thanks
