do as i say not as i do in Land rover owner international. the blurb on a technical article reads use eye protection, and barrier cream and a breathing mask and other such Health and safety esque advice. in the pictures for the article, is either of the people wrenching on the freelander either wearing eye protection/ hand protection/ face mask? no.

that's the way! my dad changed his business to LTD for that reason!

i actually like it!

i have a tyre rotation sequence too, to be honest. having a front wheel drive car means the front tyres wear a lot quicker than the back ones, and i also have a set of winter steel wheels and a set of summer alloy wheels. sounds like a tracking realignment should sort it. as for the pressures, there are conversion charts online between kpa and psi.

what was the wear like? even? centre? just one edge? incorrect tyre pressures can also increase wear. worth getting all 4 corners aligned, and then checking the wheel balancing. but i guess if the pickup spends a lot of time carrying a full load then that could explain the tyre wear

revision. comfort ate my only easter egg. stress, what stress?!

so sorry to hear that David, just keep thinking of the good memories you and your family have, thinking of you, Alex.

oh dear, now you've started you'll end up respraying the whole tractor! i'm sure your back ground as a graffiti artist will make for a very good job! don't put the letters on wonky!

next door but one have decided to try and rival bernard matthews by building a huuuuge chicken coop, whether they forgot to clip the flight feathers or just didn't know chicken's could clear 6 foot fences i'm unsure, but either way the chickens had emulated Chicken Run and ended up in our garden... so i've just been round (with 3 chickens in a dog cage) to ask if they want their chickens back! they were lucky Roxy wasn't in the garden at the time, (she was actually bouncing headfirst off the french door trying to get out.) I just hope they don't have a rooster that crows and wakes me up...

i'm going to hazard a guess at it being a dual mass flywheel, and prepare you for the fact that they are not cheap. unlucky mate

university. one of my lecturers gave us all a nasty shock today, 3 weeks before the exam, after teaching us nothing for the past 10 weeks she dumped a 15 book reading list on us for 1 topic then told us it was really important.... roll on june 3rd when i finish 2nd year and start work...

i'd have to disagree on the army trousers, the belt loops have all broken off and the fly zip doesn't stay up anymore, (awfully embarassing when i picked my sister up from school ) up to my eyes in revision at the moment, but hoping tomorrow or friday may be a shopping day! got a month, but need to get these boots worn in!

snickers, get some nuts! they look a bit expensive for my budget, i'll see how long the dickies' last, hopefully a couple of pairs will last me the full 4 months!

tris you are brilliant, thank you

there is both a screwfix and a machine mart in liverpool within 20mins of my house, so i guess I'll head to them when i've got an hour spare to do some shopping! thanks for the continued wisdom,

thanks a lot guys, definitely glad i asked now i fancy some Dickies trousers. then just need to find a place that sells either big bear, hoggs, or dickies, now so I can try them! keep the advice coming thanks again

cheers guys, i'll have to look into stockists so i can try the different boots on... keep it coming!

Sorry if this is in the wrong section ! I need some advice; for my job this summer I need some, affordable & durable steel toe ankle boots, (I've worn my previous pair of steel toes- made by grafters- out after 4 years, getting smelly, and sole is wearing thin, after i used them to put out a camp fire gone wrong..). I need to be able to stand for 10 hours a day 6 days a week in them in saw mills and timber warehouses, (I don't want blisters or sweaty feet! leather vs fabric?), steel in the toes (falling timber) and sole (nails on the floor) would be ideal, as would some sort of shin protection, (rigger boots?). here's the catch I would need to be able to jump in the van and drive in them... Could do with some hard wearing and comfy trousers too... kneepads, lots of pockets? any advice appreciated... I've heard good things about Dickies, and my previous Grafter boots were both comfy and safe, but no shin protection, I could also drive in them. Regards, Alex.

up for that!

congratulations!

thanks Ol, everyone is just trying to carry on as normally as possible, I think that's the best thing to do but time will tell I guess..

went to see grandma in hospital, within 2 minutes of my arrival every other person in her ward who was conscious told me all she did was sleep, (much like all she does when she's at home then!) dropped some things off and left her to recouperate from her hip operation. went home and stepped into my role as master carpenter on my parents kitchen, oh if my wood work teacher could see me now....
