    But im not looking at unbraked trailers , all the trailers i have were braked
  2. Tree monkey 1682
    To be honest it'd be worth going to dealership about a new one , i just googled what it could tow .
  3. Tree monkey 1682
    Il have a look tomoz
  4. Tree monkey 1682
    Completely agree, They aren't a cheap vehicle to run anymore , for most work its an iveco daily tipper- they aren't cheap either. But I was shocked at pete b hilux being dire at fuel towing, really surprised me .

    Elm, if its good enough for locks

    Our were always good, but I would say that sometimes it must be luck of the draw, other times one sensor could throw out performance and still work within tolerance. It just depends if you find it. Had 4 td5s ,one 300tdi, one 200tdi, one td, a series 2a 3.5 v8. Ive never like the 300tdi for being lethargic , 200tdi yes please. I dunno why our td5s have been ok ,they have been unusually great

    It should be , il check tomorrow but I know on the defender it says it all ,

    2002 jimny 56 plate defenders
  9. Tree monkey 1682
    I will just put this out there about td5s, they don't take to remapping and if you say its been well maintained local garages dont count and dealerships aren't always great - often saying oh its diagnostics is the answer and people miss the basics, you need a decent reputable garage who specialises only in defenders . Not oh its a defender anyone can work on them/fix them .

    I wasn't thinking unbraked but it does say on Google and on our 2002 it says 1.6 id have to look tomoz on the plate again
  11. Tree monkey 1682
    Hmm
  12. Tree monkey 1682
    Must of had a knacker and not from new then
  13. Tree monkey 1682
    It can do all manner of shite to the engine,from losing compression ,to pulling manifold studs out, to tips of injectors , turbos seizing etc . A good maintained td5 wouldn't need maping.
  14. Tree monkey 1682
    Worse thing you can do to a td5, good way to shaggy the engine.
  15. Tree monkey 1682
    Plated to 1.6 towing capacity
  16. Tree monkey 1682
    Well each morning recently its rain, didnt think we'd have a pandemic but it happend .
  17. Tree monkey 1682
    Depends, to be honest I find it crude compared to.my defender , but they are remarkably comfy , can go fast ... I mean ive had 80 out of ours, but also id say they are good for going up on motorway as well. Td5 and the the fore runners to it are only good for 70 top whack unless u change transferbox and then there shit for towing .

    Unfortunately he is right, it is a slow painful death, I do remember going to a local hospital with a regular cough for a chest x-ray and the people to the left and right of me were late thirties to early 50s. I was only 19 at the time , but does make you think . And regarding suicide ive a dim view on it mainly due to my history and also the people left behind like children. The only good thing about the big C is you have time to say good bye. That said I had a freind who found a cancenogenic lump on his chest ,I did the usual shit of reassurance that things would be fine .... next day he died of a massive seizure. No one knows of whats around the corner.

    I own a jimny and a defender, I take out the jimny because its capable , easy to park ,and the new ones dont have back seats so quite a bit of space in there, plus also it won't get stolen , spaces aren't expensive nore is road tax. Complete opposite for a decent defender, spares are costly , it probably will get stolen etc . Jimny can tow 1.6tons legally .not tried ours yet. Equally jimny can get out of a tight spot and spins on a sixpence , great for narrow drives .

    Oh I completely agree, seens the police are useless , however in this day and age you will get someone stab u in the back by filming it... the stuff you could get away with you cant and because the police are biased - ie all this so called mental health shit, or they came from a bad home etc means that the police are geared up to protect the criminal, including the justice system and prisons...there the worst as the moj are so scared to be sued by a prisoner that they will bend over backwards for them. Nothing will change until u get rid of the human rights shite. Maybe then il happily get involved but unless my life's in danger , I couldnt be bothered .

    I was trying to place him, and i did wonder if that was him.id have like to known what he originally did time for , be funny as if he turned out to be into nicking small plant , chainsaws and arb equipment . At the end of the day some people fight so people flight , its becoming so normal now that its not shocking to hear this on a day to day basis anymore . I just feel for the victims and all of the medical staff having to deal with war zone injuries in a civilian set up and the scars they have to deal with.
  22. Tree monkey 1682
    Ive never touched the stuff, to many people near me developed mesothelioma, I know of people who have taken there lives because they were scared of developing cancer . Ive just knocked back a job of stripping off a garage roof and dismantling a concrete garage

    Don't forget asbestos takes many forms , and was used in fire ppe in the 60s, You need to go on u tube, they now cook asbestos, turn it into glass and then gets used for trench backfill .
  24. Tree monkey 1682
    Looks like asbestos, possibly chimney liner doesn't look like cast iron
