Being told my L200 4Work can't be repaired because they can't find the parts for it anywhere! :( :'(  Hard to believe that..

that silage face is really authentic,the way all the loose silage is on the ground just the way it would be.really looks the part well impressed

Second that, hats off to you sir.

That reefer she's smoking can't be good for mum or baby's health

Off work with a winter illness

Yesterday went for a family meet up at the Exeter Arms near Easton-on-the-Hill.

I spent several hours clearing a drain of fat by hand only to find that it's still blocked

• MIB Britains 595 (early type)
  
• 135 2nd ed, a very nice unboxed example
  
• 2 Britains telegraph poles, circa 1930s
  

A Hyundai and it's driver. What is it with people in small cars?! I thought it was just people in Nissan Micras but what with the Agilia I got stuck behind the other day; there seems to be an epidemic of pricks on the road lately!!

Oh dear, I shall keep a watchful eye on my rear view mirror in case you appear in it Tris; I've got a Micra as a (second) courtesy car  

Haven't had hot water the last two days only cold!

And Today we have nothing!! NO Warm, NO Cold!!!   

Well at least I'm not the only one to experience this. Frozen pipes I assume?

Sore point after having the engine rebuilt on his I think Alex, some of the 2002 - 2004 ones seem to suffer from bottom end failure in the engine or head gasket problems (and turbo in some cases...). The later old shape ones seem reliable as do the new shape ones, depends what age you'd be looking at. If you want a reliable double cab I'd go down the Hi-lux route but you will pay a bit more for it

Hmm don't like the sound of that   Having a hiccup with the turbocharger would be expensive..

Shovelling snow all day to clear the lanes, I'm exhausted now

Picking up a 7 week-old puppy, lurcher-springer spaniel *****

Britains 1979 Farm Building Set in a fairly tatty box;

original Britains linkage adaptor, mint, but loads of other rubbish along with it, for £10.

replaced the blown headlight bulb in the C2, and then proceeded to start the car to see if the bulb actually worked, (it's french so i am naturally mistrusting  of anything electrical) started the car, and it appears that the replacement bulb has cured the ECU fault as well! French electrical witch craft at its best....

Tell me about it

Looks fantastic Sasha well worth the time and effort 8) Perfect even further by adding tyre tread impressions, perhaps some weathered machinery?

Not getting to my tractor course at Hartpury, for obvious reasons

So they have arrived.... i will need to attach each and every leaf.... and cob..... then wrap around wire.....

I can see a lot of work over christmas...... Pictures soon.....

That reminds me, I've assembled 42 plants of the shorter variety just have to post up the results.

Interesting art work on the 803 baler, 520/525 combine brochures, never seen it done like that before.

Graham your workshop may be untidy but it's darn clean! Nice touch with the gas gun on the silage. Those things make quite a pop though, I hope it doesn't frighten the feeding animals

PJ Baron's guide to Britains Massey Ferguson tractors (at last )

Recovering from a late night party with the locals. As the snow is 3" deep outside I think I'll put the tree up.

the only time ive ever argued with a bollard was with the weights carrier on the front end of a ford 7840

guess who won the argument 

Is that small act of vandalism something to be proud of Derrick?

I didn't even make it to work today, my courtesy van breaking down 1 mile before reaching the farm (alternator fail).  But now all is well, as I have a replacement car for the replacement van, a metallic blue Nissan Micra

Will these be reviewed in Model Farmer?

thats the releases i was on about cmb

Whoops sorry, just noticed your post there
