    Eww! ???
  2. Give the lad a brake eh [emoji6]
  3. You can buy a basic code reader for £30 off flea bay, it will really only give you P codes which is sometimes enough. If you wanted a diag machine (hand held) to read live data and give a bit more input and more functions to delete etc then a couple hundred upwards. For all singing all dancing you can be in to thousands [emoji15][emoji389][emoji389][emoji389] we have texa at work so i just have use of that. Cant really advise cos youd really need to pick one up and play with it, some formats are very complex and blow your mind.... some are basic and easy to get along with. I’m a hgv mechanic so my car knowledge is limited really. Same principals but worlds apart. Regards your transit, possibly something like this? :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fits-Ford-Transit-OBD-Diagnostic-Scanner-Tool-USB-Code-Reader-Interface-Cable-/223480957816 Regards iveco :- https://www.scantool-direct.co.uk/maxiecu-iveco-pc-based-diagnostic-system.html Never used them personally but if they do what they say in the descriptions then its not a lot of outlay. ?‍♂️
  4. Maybe up side of steering column towards your indicator stalk yolky [emoji848]??‍♂️
  5. Possible faulty flasher relay? Will be linked to hazard switch no doubt and obviously sends a signal to immobiliser. Hence the flash when you trigger the fob.
  6. [emoji23] a lot of our mercedes axor parts came from brazil, including the OM457 variant, a coach engine originally designed for hot climates [emoji6]
  7. Ah! ? i learnt a little there Khriss, [emoji106]
  8. Whip top cover off and get a butchers at cylinder & casings, look for husky branding / casting marks. Know nowt about huskys so cant say much more. If you shout loud enough “sir stubby” should be along for a husky gospel verse for ya [emoji106] Hope its the real deal for ya, looks a nice thing.
  9. Got any vids in action? [emoji106]

  11. Anyone know what sort of money they are? And anyone experienced the electric one in comparison to the above petrol one?
  12. Na, PM’d ya [emoji106]
  13. I’ll dog him when i speak to him the granny perve! Was gona come and give ya some grief! ?
  14. You been to Lancs today Rough?!
  15. Hhhmmmm!!! [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] Think your about five days late at posting!
  16. Oh yeah!!! [emoji6]
  17. Christ!.... you want some rope?!!! Your very pessimistic towards BigJ’s ideas. I hope he proves ya SO wrong!
  18. Not really had any contact with you, but all the best!
  19. I fear another “no deal brexit” type thread evolving here! Up anchor and let it sail for gods sake! You’ll never stop it nor change it, its happening and is part of the great circle of life! Cash your wages and pensions and go enjoy yourselves before its too late! Iceberg ahoy!!!
  20. Depends if one bona-fide is hiring the other? Or are they both being hired in by someone in the background. I’d of said who ever provides the initial job instruction / who pays the wages will hold the cards on liabilities.
  21. There are EL exemptions where its not required by law but gets messy depending on the situation like working abroad for instance. I know brief bits about it cos a bloke that used to do site work and training at our place got landed in a spot of bother with it all, no expert tho.
  22. For an employee it is law, for employing anyone part time or more, for employing one person and more. You personally would / should only require PL, its not law for you though, but advisable.
  23. Eggs / Steve, its not law to have EL or PL insurance when self employed, but is a huge safety net. Ultimately the book stops with the person / company that has hired you. Reference above post, sorry was referring to PL for you Eggs, EL would be for the company you were subbing too. Words in a mucking fuddle.
  24. Any insurance company will gladly take your money on pretty much any scenario, but like mark suggested earlier, would they stand by you if it came to ehh lads ehh! If working alone for yourself you should really have EL regardless. Working alone for someone else, i.e being the subbie, you should really still have your own EL as you have advertised as a lone/self employed worker for them to hire you in the first place, but the liabilities would then be and stay with them as you are doing the works for them.
  25. You CAN’T contract out liability!..... book stops with the employer whether he/she is on site or not.
