It looks really nic, and I bet the reg number is worth as mcuh, or nearly as the tratter!

I fink mine has them, can't member wivout lookin.

I bet he drives one too. Although I doubt I'll get to see it :(

God loves a Tratter 90.

Required on trailers over 1.3 meters wide. Now I'm not sure about triangular reflectors, some have a white surround and I cant remember why, I think it may be the length of trailer ????

Day 3 of post-build euphoria. I’ve taken Flo, out for a coffee.

Oh dear, our own union rep out on the warpath.

News looks grim. How you doing?

I have to agree, if I am honest, it is far enough away to be reassuring more than anything else, but the ones on the front, really cannot see the point of them. The box trailer has front ones quite high up and they got dead annoying. I suppose...

Just got through most of servicing the big machine, exhaust tappet needed a bit of tightening, cleaned the airfilter as best as poss without getting a new one. Can't find the part number easily, grr! Spark plug gap was fine but it shows it's been...

I mean the rubber light stalks, I dont find the little light a problem. J

I have to agree about stalks etc. My old box trailer has the vertical posts you use to lock it down with i.e. to stop it moving when parked and being loaded etc. They are right on both rear outer corners, so visible in mirrors, but not annoying...

Just cleared a small job on me tratter to do list. About a year ago I couldn't get the nut undone on the battery negative terminal clamp. It's a bolt with a conical spacer set vertically through the terminal, so tight it was at risk of damaging...

Shame that a certain person has come on here to hijack the thread and have a bash at others, having done the same in spades on another thread, which I am sure some of you will have seen. He obvs wants this thread to be moved to AG so he and his...

That section is too full of "what's wrong with my gaylander", and "how do I fix my gaylander without breaking a finger nail" threads.

BB doesn't want to deal with the truthful carnage that this thread would get if it was in AG, more like. It should, at the very least, be in the gaylanderer section.

Mornin Light rain and a moderate breeze so far Was going to fit marker lights to trailer today, it's 45 years old and just has lights at the back Might go LED for rear lights/ indicators while I'm at it Undecided as to wheel colour, trailer is...

Morning All. :D Late.... awful night. Mr. Gout visited me. :( Have a good day. :D

Start by removing the screwdriver bit jammed under the hand brake adjuster nut.

That's the intake filter, it's there to keep debris out of the vacuum system. If the hissing continues while the brake pedal is pressed, then the diaphragm in the booster has split.

From my experience; Rimmer Bros customer services like to play these games. They supplied me with reversing sensors that didn't work and then told me that because I had tried them that I would have to put in a warranty claim and wait for...

I've never done with with brakes, only on a clutch on an old Peugeot that was very difficult to do, but I think it would work. I got a length of hose that was secure on the bleed nipple but long enough to run all the way back to the fluid...

Not brake related, but I love that tattoo.

Not experienced it myself, but I think in these instances it is usually the master that has gone and needs replacing. Summat might of happened when it ran out of fluid. With no ABS, its a very simple setup and nothing really between master and...

THAY are because thay forget where thay stored them for the winter

They av bin planting them for me. They aint daft.

The same reasons that trains have been cancelled as the weather is to dry 😲😲

Why don't you plant some nut tree's and cut the middle man out , and be green at the same time ??

Just ordered some more nuts for me friends.

I'm sitting here waiting for storm Floris. So far there's a breeze and a bit of drizzle. It's very silly to give every westerly low pressure system a name.
