The wife got me one of those vices from Lidl a few years ago now, have to say I've found it very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdmac Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Very happy with it John, gone straight to work holding the 1490/1394 bonnet for headlight surgery with the Dremel. Been putting it off for awhile, turned out to be a fiddle but at least I've got a stable hold on it now. The screwdrivers have a lot better handles than what I've been using.

Awdmac Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Had me a battery strimmer, not the cheapest but so quick & easy to use. Can have job done in the time it took faffing with the old 2 stroke. Good life out of the 5.0 ah battery, though you can go bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 nice gas powered weed burner, got fed up with putting the spray stuff down, and they come back a few weeks later ,and after someone at work recommended a electric heat gun version, i decided i didn't want a lead trailing round, so went gas, just tried it out the back and it gets rid of them pretty dam quick, acid test will be how quickly do they come back i guess, but the guy at work swears by his leccy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Bought this NH 717 super recently, it had been parked inside and not used for around 30 years but has spent a couple of years outside latterly which has spoilt the paint a bit with surface rust taking hold. It's seen very little use prior to that. My cows had to come inside at the end of september due to the wet weather so I bought this to zero graze what they would usually be chomping through in the conventional way.

alf aphid Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Christmas shopping started! Hope Mrs Mac likes it! Feeling sorry for her having to wear a coat every time she takes the old disco out at the moment the funny side wears off! Probably a foolish buy, but we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdmac Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Very smart Alastair, gives a good ride I expect. Plus there's always the towing capacity! I was going to get the missus a new hat & gloves for carting the muck trailer, bit breezy with no cab, better up my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha yes haven’t picked up yet but certainly drove very nicely compared to the old disco, but a bit of a different beast! Got to hide it now for a month!

Liking the colour as well No Ted, wanted something useable that didn’t feel sick about fuel economy, it’s a diseasel, I know it won’t be economical but hopefully not to dissimilar to the td5 and I’ll be happy. Real stinger is road tax, I’m afraid Land Rover vehicles were way off the likes of bmw, Merc and Audi, in terms of emissions around this vintage, not sure if they’ve improved now, but I would imagine they would have too.

They run a BMW 3L diesel so tought..so you would think the emissions should be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old ones used to run the bmw 3 litre Diesel from the 530, 330 etc but Land Rover did away with that years ago and replaced with their own v8 diesel which is in the one I bought which doesn’t score very well on emissions!

I think it was a bit downrated from the car version and attached to different gear box plus of course heavier.

GPS Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 These are fantastic cabinets, bought two a few years ago. But they sell really quickly, ended up chasing around a few stores one Saturday to get them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
