  1. Doesn't surprise me seens the average wage a month in Portugal is about 825 euros ...so a local was saying to me .
  2. That is not a good sign,😆 when reading this it filled me with dread knowing everyone wants to try not to pay out for more certs . But alot of it is in cpcs training. But I had the displeasure of driving a 3 ton grey thing , struggled lift 1/4 dumpy bag on a tight radius !
  3. If you did a cpcs above and below ten tons with lifting ops, that would cover alot of the stuff that needs covering
  4. Oh need to be careful of in house training as that can be a slippery slope also , ie what makes you a competent assesor/trainer .. get the same stuff with npors ,hence why cpcs works. I spose the closest thing to trees is getting the d90 ticket , for demolition, thats working with various attachments at hight .
  5. Stay out of lift plans as you'll go down the route of appointed person, slinger and signaller and separate insurances
  6. Check valves on a digger incase of burst hoses, and also an alarm so one doesn't overload the machine , I guess cpcs and lifting ops covers the operator
  7. Thank you for that
  8. Mew to me ,but why would you buy greenmech unless your going to close them down?
  9. Whats the side casing made out of? I know my 350 (different saw ) used to do funny things if the side cover was warped dont know if its worth having a look- and mine didnt show signs of internal damage either...
  10. Hmm ,look how precious the people around hadrians wall are about a sycamore tree! Im surprised a listed /protected wall didnt override the tree. Nether the less deep pockets or knobbing an arboricultural solicitor. But most times council are stubborn and my original comment is quite true , that you brought the house knowing the tree was there !
  11. It is simplistic,or maybe to the point , but waffling on people don't always seem to 'get it' .
  12. Don't buy a house next to established trees, you know they will do naff all ,council normally have a view that you brought the house knowing the tree was there before you brought it. Or that's atleast the view down south.recently I put in to remove three trees with ash dieback back only for the paperwork to be refused . Yet the trees are in a public place with ,other issues like weak limbs and bark damage and poor pruning. And that got declined
  13. Speak to timberwolf uk / entec they'll send over an op manual. Schematics Stringy bits are the blades are to far away from anvil or anvil needs rotating replacing Ever changed hydraulic oil? Id go down thst first before messing with the anti stress
  14. Nothing to do with being a tit, my ex had a stupidly strong Devon accent , and it was a passing pub thing .
  15. Arrh, it. Was only when we asked local police which ones safer and they said, use this one we dont get called to it -went to that one walked in and u could hear a pin hit the floor it was that quiet once my partner opened her mouth (ex)
  16. Yeah but which one is that, thes 2 in Glasgow, one where you'd get a kicking if your from down south...and the other one isn't too bad ! And tfls aren't great ,they seem to wreck anywhere they go
  17. I cant believe chard is so much bearing in mind thes bugger all around chard and nothing to do.
  18. Oh , not sure i knew about alot of the of the info when the first freelanders were about but he dropped dead when I was 17 , so that was 1999 I knew about issues with tdv8, v6, and stuff about the freelander one, td5 engines and weird stuff like that . I could walk into any garage , mention his name and get a job within 5 mins . Not sure id ever touch newer lr stuff now ..
  19. My grandfather, sold the tech to volvo from landrover so they could make their 4x4 s 🤣 believe it or not , and also had close ties with Honda and there crvs
  20. Whats it weighs?
  21. Permanent marker line instead
  22. Ex bosses drove one said itvwas quite a good drofe one, that got thr different lock in?
  23. Skoda yetty 4x4?
  24. Not seen the berlingo van, derived thing but I guess its like the freelander all electronics and tech stuff like that , Jimnys are ok , buy ive not put hers to the test of towing , plus also new they dont do 4 seater or auto . And hers is a bit cramped also 1.3 engine! I know what u mean about things being too long like the Japanese crew cab pickups not great for double gates , What about turning your defender into a station wagon? If u can get bits
  25. Partners owned ,had one as a paramedic for off road events you wouldn't have one as a paramedic if they were shite. Im not bickering, or arguing ,u asked someone for advice thats it . And when you see whats out there currently not ideal really
