Cheers Jonny, but isn't that a bit like putting plastic covers on the sofa? I mean it is a van after all.
-
Yes, sign written. Never hurts does it? Thought gold would contrast nicely with the blue.
-
You don't know what was agreed between the old girl and the gardener. Either way 50 quid is not really extortion.
-
Seems quite cheap to me.
-
No it's business, get used to it.
-
I'll know next Wednesday when I pick it up!

Cheers, the thing that's keeping me awake at night is people pulling gear out from the side, like ropes with krabs or harnesses that'll constantly chip away at the paintwork over the wheel arches. It's going to be a difficult adjustment.

This is a great thread, keep 'em coming.

Not that I've seen, I wanted a proper 4 door 4 seat like my current one, but they've withdrawn the VAT allowance on them (I understand they have over there as well) so it had to be a small rear seat job. it does have suicide doors that open the "other way" so the dog can get in alright.

Is vibration white finger related to grip?
Mick Dempsey replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
I've got an 076 that we bring out occasionally and the vibes are quite intense. I would not want to use that all day! -
I admire you guys that can fix anything, I'm reasonably competent but you've got to know your limits, that volvo abs fix would have been well beyond me.
-
Bad news David, but no one hurt, that's all that matters.

Yes, I've had 2 hilux, a Navarra and now have the old Mazda/ranger, Ive been impressed with my ford garage over the years (see other thread) I reckon the Nissan looks a bit dated these days, so it was a toss up between another hilux and this, the fact I know and like the ford dealers swung it for me. They make the effort to pronounce my name when I walk in, it's often the little things!
-
Since you insist, another picture.
-
Pulled the trigger on this new Ranger today, didn't want a roll bar but it was already fitted! Great finance deal with the bank. Should have it in a week or so.
-
I don't use small garages/mates of mates anymore, I use a main dealer, you pay a bit more but instead of talking to a mechanic you talk to a service manager, they give me a price and stick to it. Worth the extra IMO.

In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!
Mick Dempsey replied to silky fox's topic in The Lounge
Something like the ease with which a chipper can pull in something painful and awkward like hawthorn can really build a bond between man and machine! Hawthorn makes such nice chip as well. -
Yes, nice set up on the digger.
-
Hard to hear about these things. Fwiw I hope you get back on your feet soon.
-
You can hammer them and they come back really strongly. They are susceptible to long periods of sub zero weather. Even here every few years there's a very cold winter and I'll be taking out dead ones a year later, reduced or not.
-
Having used a 230 for a couple of days whilst back in UK doing family stuff, I have to agree.
-
Maybe because (according to the specs) it'll only take 166mm wood. Whereas the new 230 is a larger capacity intake.
-
Good question.
-
Much of a muchness, rather the ABs win if poss. I've always liked them.
