Hi folks, My own fault for forgetting to lock drivers door but my Land Rover got done over last night. Stolen (to my knowledge) might be more but it's a bit of a muddle in there. Sthil ms441 25" bar. Sthil 036 18" bar. (Very rough looking with qva scratched into it. Sthil style Chinese copy long pole saw, was crap but it was still mine Various other bits like splitting axe, tow rope etc etc. Stolen from Bridgwater area last night after 9pm before 8am. Please pm if any info, I'm desperate. Small reward offered. Thanks.

I'm no expert. In fact I've never even seen one in the flesh. But is he doing it wrong?? The excess material that he's having to hook out the way as he unrolls it looks to me as if he'd laid the material wrong????
-
Site I found on net said $200 but no idea in uk. I'm gonna try making one.

There are a few about, one on eBay at the mo for asking £12,000 on an 08 plate. To dear compared to £19k for brand new

Sorry, my mistake !!!! Read it wrong

Thanks, not exactly what I wanted to hear but at least I know!!!! I have found out that there was a limited edition that claimed 200bhp called the "invincible 200" ( clever that ) but that was just a piggy back chip that's available as aftermarket jobby so I might go down that route. :)

Sell it. It's not a tipper and it's got more miles on it than you are comfortable with. You could keep it because it might be reliable, but then again it might explode tomorrow. Like wise there's no guarantee that a newer one wouldn't either but you can expect a decent bit of warranty on something from a garage and a newer well kept smart van will always be a credit to your buisness.

Correct, will need to speak to Toyota again and see what the crack is. Might be convinced to wait if "my" hilux isn't the full 3 ton. 2015 Toyota Hilux - Release, engine specs, price, upgrades

sorry mate:blushing:

I'm really Loving this, my mind has wondered to keeping my old 110 to just putting a flat bed/chip box on with a built in roller system. Much easier and cheaper than a tipper. Hell of a lot lighter aswell which is always a consideration with land rovers
-
I think they sold out and have been for a while, I did a Google search but I'll try eBay. Failing that an afternoon in the workshop should be able to cut, weld, bodge something together. I really like the look of it

[ame] [/ame] Good idea?? ......... Discuss
-
It's not that i don't like its performance, I just think it could do with a bit more poke to pull the long steep hills around here. And besides, overkill is always more exciting
-
Is it a goer then?? I gotta ring him and get it moving because I'm busy as ...... Over the next few weeks
-
Not to my knowledge, at Toyota do you mean??

This was mine, pushing 300 horse with four wheels spinning on the rolling road. Ian at IRB developments believed (when on its road "slicks") it to be the quickest road legal td5 in the country [ame]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BeGHHJaeUf0[/ame]

Iv been googling like mad and I can't seem to find anyone who will do a proper rolling road or road tuned remap. A plug in chip is all I can find and I'm not to keen. Iv done a lot of Land Rover td5 tuning in the past and the difference between a chip that just dumps more fuel in compared to a rolling road set up remap that tweeks all the parameters is well worth the effort. Not much more expensive either.

Manual for me!!! Had several autos over the years and the only bonus in my opinion is the ability to talk on the phone when driving!!!! I like some engine braking get aswell.
-
Wonder if you could join all of them and get a free truck!!!
-
NFU were/do aswell. Was a time not long ago when I saw (on eBay of all places) with a NFU discount you could buy a brand new Land Rover 110 single cab chassis cab (ideal for tipper body) for something stupid like 13500 plus vat. Mental.

You do need to be a member for a good few months, 6??? All I know is you can't just sign up and get 3k off anew truck the next day lol. I prefer the hilux, always have. Just personal preference but I do think they are all very good and the only other one that stood out too me was the isuzu on torque alone (400nm) oh yeah ond 3500kg towing, but it's just not quite as good in my opinion, but others may vary. Is that on the fence enough not to offend anyone..........
-
Get one!!!! His and hers!!!
-
It's not worth rummaging around used stuff at that price. I'm really chuffed, thought with a 20k budget I was gonna be struggling at a 3 yr old one!!!!! How little I know, can't help feeling bad about moving away from lr tho
-
One downside although it doesn't affect me is the towing weight of the hilux is only 2800kg. I was surprised at that but as I say it's no biggy for me just to let you know
