  1. if you found a disco 4 for 7k im not surprised !
  2. good supplier of proper treated posts and telegraph poles http://www.fenceandforget.co.uk/
  3. no 3.5 tonner. And before any keyboard warriors start moaning Im not interested in your payload comments.
  4. haha. no leather! Cruise control is bloody handy though, stops the speeding tickets!
  5. cheers bob, I did look at them but it meant the air con compressor had to go.
  6. the only negative is there isnt a PTO option yet for the ZF autobox. So have to run 2x12v pumps, 1 for tipper and 1 for hiab.
  7. have to say my 2016 daily tipper has been great. I did fit airbags to the rear axle to level her up when 4 ton was on the back. the 3 litre engine with 8 speed ZF box is brilliant.
  8. So what do people use as a rule for featheredge. knocker, pecker or auger for posts ? pecking or knocking would be quicker and cheaper as no postcrete. do they come loose ? Personally we allways auger (with digger) but often wondered if we just peckered the post in 3 feet it wouldnt come loose ?
  9. This sort of weather tends to sort out the weak batteries, thought id mention a good charger ive used for a good few years. Ctek 3600 (replaced by MX7) can do 12 and 6v more importantly can charge at 7 amps. If your like me and dont like faffing around under the bonnet, I knocked up a charger plug to go into the trailer electrics socket so can charge and leave everything locked up tight.
  10. if your off up the moor, dont call in the Slaughtered Lamb for a pint on the way back......
  11. what this chap said. I wish id bought a 3 tonner 5 years ago, it would have easily outperformed my ISA .....
  12. excuse my ignorance, wouldnt it be easier and cheaper to seal the chamber pretty airtight with plastic and then put a nice big de-humidifier in it as they are very cheap to run.
  13. this is the same edwina shagger who refused a free vote on Maastrict treaty that all other EU countries got a vote on. They even made the paddies vote twice as they got it wrong first time.
  14. It comes down to you advocating killing another human. It's another sign of mental illness the left suffer from. JRB says your wrong. I'm with him.
  15. its tax neutral. we do exactly that, plant owned by co A, comp B does work and pays hire fee to comp A. Tax position doest change. It does allow Comp B to go bump and protect the assets.
  16. i can only add my local Landrover dealer as well as the Audi and VW are equally as $h1t. I had the 'pleasure' of the new car purchase process at VW, they refused point blank to throw in a full tank of fuel in the deal. They did bombard me with, salesman youtube video (2 lots thanking me for the purchase), putting the car inside printing a label with my name on it on a stand and a sheet over the car. Utter utter millenieal crap. I explained to the kid/salesman than no tank of fuel meant he would be getting zero on the feedback form and I dont want any of the crap/fluff videos etc so to save his time (he ignored). Needless to say turned up to collect, its only a bloody vw at the end of the day, and it was under the sheet. Told them to pull it outside while I had a coffee. Needless to say he get zero on his feedback and when they rang to enquire I told them. Their service department equally as crap. I thyink its just a UK thing as I've yet to find a decent dealer who isnt a) a liar b)useless.

    Electric Cars

    I came very close to pulling the trigger on a model X this year, as they can be bought via the business and are 100% corp tax deducatable in the first year. I came to my sense and got a digger instead in the end. I have the tesla powerwall being installed in march to fully use the solar panels. love all this new tech its great.
  18. yeah thats looks puny. You will have to mount it near the back as it doesnt look like it has much stroke length. This will make it work hard. Much better off with multi. I had a multi on my old tipper mounted between rear axle and cab and that struggled with a 3 ton of wet clay. My new tipper i specced 6ton ram also 3 stage.
  19. it has a bleed valve on the top. insert cart, crank for couple secs, crack open valve and crank. job done.
  20. I dont think its an issue, the volume is what matters and it can be controlled with the trigger. It doesn't come out any faster than a hard pump on the manual gun. Probably one of those things that sounds like an issue in theory but in practice isnt.
