This is quite right! I had 5 recovery LORRIES craned OVER a fence......what with god only knows, but everything in reach was cleared and they were gone. No-one saw a thing - surprise! - which I found hard to swallow, being the size of the crane they must have used, and multiple vehicles to...

Try Frank Pickles - cheap insurance, and they cover off road use as standard - in fact they insist!

I have one sat on my desk, brand new! Didn't fit mine. 9lbs rating.

Hire Standards - trailer hire There you go!

You only have to service it regularly - then enjoy driving a 4x4 with better fuel returns than a 1.4 eurobox!:D If you keep it serviced, you won't have the associated problems above. Most of those problems are only a result of poor servicing/ or ignition problem. In these cases, people don't...

There is a company called rapid recovery in westbury, probably on that industrial estate! They normally charge something like £60 plus £1 a mile Failing that, have a look on ebay for vehicle transport in westbury or look in the back of your local paper.

I think something may be going on in your neck of the woods! A member on another forum had a notice of change of keeper on a old series vehicle he had in bits in the shed....the 'new keeper' was roughly around your area (within 50 miles or so anyway)! The ID was put on a 90. Gotta catch these...

That will be recovery and impound fees - it is a little unfair in theft related cases, where the owner has to pay - but that is what it is for! £115 release fee (cost of recovery) £12/20 per day storage They did it quickly, which is good - I have known vehicles sit in soco bays for months on...

If you want to check the mounts, park on a level surface and get your chalk and plumbline out. First, drop off the hub each side, and mark a line where it falls. Go underneath and drop the line from each mount, marking an X where the line settles. Remove vehicle and join points up...

Lovely engine! Used to be a common conversion, and gearbox adaptor plates are out there. The 12/24v is no problem! 24v is only need to starting. To solve this, you just run a kill switch to the cab, turn on the second battery to start it, and then knock it off when started. That was the old...

^^Well said! I do like the land rover, but would not be so blind as to discount other manufactuers. The Land Rover has its' strengths in its' easy to maintain basic mechanics (on older ones at least) and its' cheap and readily available parts. That is taken as a strength, and a reason to own...

If LPG is backfiring, it will be caused by the ignition system. It could be either plugs/leads worn - you do need LPG compatible plugs/leads as they are under more strain (burns much hotter) Other common problem is the Lambda sensor. These take a battering due to the hotter running, and don't...

I think it would be better if only admin could see the reg of the car. Would cover you legally as well. You could have an Icon for matched hits to show a vehicle has been seen at numerous places, but putting the reg out, could be unwise - if not illegal.

Rustoleum far better than hammerite! Ideally, you will need some rust inhibitor,painted on first, and then coat with a good layer of rusto. If you use light colours, then you can see any problem areas in the future. Red Oxide and Chassis enamel is a common choice too. Wire wheel the...

Air getting in your power steering system, causing it to groan. Usual place is along the pipes at the front. They rub against each other and chafe through - or the connection to the fuild bottle. Usually, fluid loss is very slight - look for oily residue on the pipes where the fluid is...

It will either be limestone, or the rarer Ivory. More commonly Limestone.

Get yourself a 151 Clarke - cheap, reliable and will still be around in ten years when you need to replace a part! It will pay in the end! (You might even find a used, from someone who has tried and given up- I paid £80 for mine 10 years ago!)

Yes, the picture is court quality and assuming the vehicle is found, they can see who took it. They will probably know who it is, or be able to find them - there will always be an exception though! Main thing would be getting the vehicle back before it is stripped - I had an old Capri I kept...

Only paid a grand for my old 300tdi - had all new mods on too. That things makes my old one look like brand new! It was a tidy one - which makes 1750 for that old thing seem a whole heap of money for a whole heap!

This is quite an undertaking as you are dodging quite a few regs...and VOSA don't like that - nor do they like banger lorries and will go through you with a fine tooth comb! Insurance will be expensive, as most insurers will not insure recovery lorries - even trade insurance will only add...
