Thinking of the nose weight, you may be better off with a short wheel base tub. Mike, surley if the brackes on a vehicle based trailer are rugged to work on a push bar overide, they'd be no difrent from a trailer hub? Sorry just ocured to me, the main part of a vehicle back brakes would be hydraulic operated!

Then having cleared one of the 'usual suspects'. Dirty or loose connections? And of course, all the earths. Have you a decent battery tester, if not worth taking the old ones out and getting them checked. Battries don't like sitting about

Have you checked all the drive belts are correct tension? Connections clean and tight?

Welcome Mark.

Great tool , never seen one before.

Make that three pints of Brandy!:iamsmiling:

Make that two pints of Brandy!

Followed by several... don't you say that about me!,,,,no I didn't....yes you di....... Oh I love this place!:-D

Then you have my humble thanks, and I'm sorry for not thanking you before!! :bow: Anyone with a lathe may be able to turn up the odd ones?

Thank you!:-D

No, any vehicle can be PLG. The catergory was brought in to 'harmonise' the diffrence bettween commercial good vehicle, that is for hire and reward and non commercial carrying. The Hire & Reward also require Certificates of Competence to operate. As a commercial driver as well now. So if your'e main job is not 'driving' and LGV or PSV you don't ned a CPC. So if you stick a box on the back of an MK or MJ with a bed etc in it, drive where you like when you like how you like! Take a plain MK or MJ..... I'm off for a pint of brandy and vallium sandwich.

Stupid question, what's a Broach?

Wave proof I know that! Unfortunatley the DVD is copyright. There might be somthing on UHU tube.

Don't forget you also need the H&S protocols! Is the bulb above head height? Is your back able to get down to it? Why the **** are we bothering with these clapped out heaps anyway? :-D

Kid's used to be satified with Action man!

Still goes on even in the TA RLC. My Number One Son is having two weeks paid holidays at Pirbright, ah isn't the weather lovley?:cool2: Bitching like hell 'Why an infantary place? We drive not march?'

Or as an RTR guy said me 'Why to walk to war, when you can drive?'

That's the bug bear. It must be clearly marked on your calander the days are 'REST'. I and most of the stage bus drivers on here all drive Domestic Hours, which are difrent from International and truck hours. It is a bloody minefeild. For instance 'THEY' dictate if driving a car, you should take a breack every two hours oor so for about twenty minutes. A bus or coach driver on INTERNATIONAL, EEC hours must take a thirty minute break after four hours, but can split to thre breaks of not les than fiteen minutes. Daily driving hours max of thirteen (Twenty two if doubled manned) Daily rest minimum eleven hours, but, may be reduced to nine hours up to thre times a week but the time lost must be compensated by the end of the following week. Weekly rest forty five hours after six days. This may be cut to thirty six hours if working from base or twenty four if away but time must be compansated for en-bloc within three weeks. Domestic hours are maximum FIVE AND HALF HOURS driving thirty minute break or eight hours thirty with forty five minute aggragate breack. I'm not even going to start on the rows and arguments over stand time etc. so you see what a whole mind fuddeling mess it is?

Bugger! No lottery win. :banghead:

Three wheels on my wagon from that photo:-D though there is one lying in the background. Does appear to be still mobile though.

I managed to knock up just what you require for my Dodge from bits obtained from the yery patient local Plumbase.

Welcome to the forum.

The bug bear in this is 'resting' time. Defined as time that you dispose of as you wish. So when you are working at the day job, the time is not yours to dispose of as you wish. So your 'rest' time, in which you would be driving the DROPS, means you haven't had sufficent 'rest'. so you are in breach of driving hour regulations. There is a whole new term for these cock ups, they are now called by the **** that make them 'Unexpected consequences'.

Yeah and you forgot Tilley and Bi Alladin paraffin pressure lamps! :-D

Welcome, keep the Parabolics.
