Yeah, it's a nice machine. But it is horribly noisy and for such a big machine there's not much room for the driver.

sound check ------- very good are you and floyd dorset bound ?

hard to say without a pic but is it not possable to fully grind off the head say with a dremmell ,remove the part bolted on and then you have access for small stillsons , mole grips etc ? then weld a nut on once removed to effect a repair this might mean your one off may be a few mm short so just remove any washers fitted

mark, as you know i had loads of trouble with my winch ill phone you in a while may even be able to pop in if your home i have to go to shepton mallet after lunch ,andy

Autohome are a recovery service a bit like the aa or rac but they also do the heavies too, they do horseboxes and commercial recovery and also rates for classic commercial but you have to phone them up.Vehicles up to 3.5ton £93.50.....Vehicles 0ver 3.5Ton up to 16ton £105......vehicles in excess of 16ton (incl drawbar and other articulated combinations) £159..... Recovery anywhere in UK up to £1000 costs (i don't think they cover you if you run out of fuel, Get stuck in snow or soft ground...

Hi Andy , yes it is the disc for Daisy but before anyone laughs I have always taxed her since I bought her as I thought it wouldn't take long to finish her ! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

surly pre 1960 hgv was one of the exemptions not affected or did i miss something

Has anything happened yet?

I ask the question because I have just received a tax reminder for my pre 1960 vehicle and it states that I need an MOT test from the 8th of August this year. Does this mean that it is here???

interesting that andy ive just done the same as croc no problem with lightining might that be the disc for daisy??

rob, whats auto home all about ? is it hgv recovery there was a guy putting leaflets on trucks awhile ago but ive heard he has retirered id need somthing that would take theliving van home as well andy

today i had a reply they do not hold my records or of many b vehicles cast pre 1970 but thanks for the £ 25 search fee anyway well i was warned that might be the case -- andy

i know for a pioneer driven to its resting place 14 years ago but now parked outside rotting away and dispite a few good offers remains there it will soon only be good for breaking bl**dy shame really

Right off out to do battle with the bigger drills:beatenup:

good luck with it hope tonight went well :idea:

having not heard from the rlc about my card i phoned today to be told they have lost a member of staff whose full time job was dealing with our queries and they will get to me in due course just thought id let everyone know theres quite some wait andy

hhhmmm ive got single skin the heater beneath drivers seat no switch and super duper springy thingy hitch

I take it your explorer has been re wired at some point and it's origanal battery isolator switch removed:-( Or is it still sat in the cab doing nothing? I've just re wired my explorer an being an early one it had a set of breakers in the isolator box instead of fuses. They all work too and reset automatically when you turn the faulty circuit off thus saving fault finding time:D

yes its been rewired of sorts its a earlyish mk 1 but with a cummins fitted where floyd has lots of lecky bits in front of the passenger on the bulkhead i just have a wireing harness that has been modded with insulation tape is that were it should be ?

thanks, i have a new single pole 1 lying about so ill use that

having had a little battery problem on my explorer im going to fit a battery isolater switch to stop them going flat when some idiot (me ) leaves stuff switched on for 3 weeks does it go between the vehicle earth and the earth terminal on battery 1 or between the 24 volt terminal and the out going cable ?? andy

ill be there ,useally thursday night to tuesday morning with my mk 1 explorer
