Apologies if this appears a stupid question !!.
But I have a query.
Can a group of say 5 or 6 mates who all have sgc organise a clay shoot for themselves as long as they have the land owners permission in fact he may well join in .
We have a trap & clays .
I say we are ok.
but another says we need the police force for where the land is permission to do it .
Can anyone clarify please

If they ask the question and you lie, then you have obtained insurance under false pretences.
I've no idea what you even mean by a 'voluntary question' - if they ask, are you just going to refuse to answer it ?
I didn't write the section mate I copied and pasted it directly from the email I received from the organisation that ran the course.,
During the course I also verbally asked the question and got the same reply from the guy taking the course.

Depends on what it's painted with ?. Could be old style cellulose in which case it could possibly be removed by using cellulose thinners/ gunwash.
Just make sure you don't leave on longer than is needed to remove the paint.
If it 2 pack you may need to use xylene thinners with 0000 wire wool.
Or as ditchy says if your wanting them black get some fine scotchbrite pads and rub down wipe with panel wipe and rattle can them satin black

A while back someone was on about that you had to inform your insurance company that you had took part in the speed awareness course.
I done mine yesterday (35 in 30) and received an email today confirming my attendance.
It also has the instructions regarding your insurance , so here is the said instructions word for word as in my email.
Congratulations and thank you for completing your driver awareness course with DriveTech!
As a result, we will notify the Police of your successful completion, so you don’t have to take any further action.
Please note: When applying for car insurance, insurers may ask if you have any motoring convictions or prosecutions. As neither of these apply to drivers who have attended a driver awareness course, the Financial Ombudsman has confirmed that drivers attending a course can honestly answer ‘No’ to this question. However, if an insurer asks specifically about attendance of a driver awareness course, then drivers must provide this information on the application form or at any other time during the lifetime of the insurance policy, typically at renewal. Failure to do so may invalidate the insurance. Please read your insurer’s terms and conditions.

back in 1988ish I booked a test drive in the cossack edition of these as at the time they were getting good reviews for off road use and the coastguard were using them . i was 6ft 1" and 13st back then and unfortunately there was no way i could fit in to it , front seats would not go anywhere near far enough back to allow me to get in so the test drive never happened

I’ve been a mot tester since 1999 and that’s pass and advise
Ditto since 1985 but unfortunately you'll know that vosa have what they call "grey areas" and one of their favourite sayings is as I said "testers discretion".
In stead of just saying that's a pass or that's a fail .
We once had a guy come to us that had been to his local ford dealer for his mondeo st to be tested , car was only 5/6 yrs old and the fail sheet was like war and peace . We went through it and only agreed on the fact 2 tyres were too low on tread .
It stunk to high heaven of profiteering as they had even failed all 4 coil springs for being rusty along with all 4 shocks being rusty .
Now we never tell people to report the tester / station to vosa as we believe it's putting someone's livelihood at risk but in this instance we advised him to do none of the repairs and put a complaint into vosa as the accompanying estimate for repairs supplied alongside the failure was a fortune and like I say stunk to high heaven of them trying to rip him off ....

He would have been crucified over here. People take crimes against horses more seriously then crimes against people.
Everyone thought the sentence he got was a "token gesture" and should have been a lot longer .
The saving grace in the whole thing was a friend of a friend of a friend of the guy next door was in the same prison at the same time ... and made sure he "accidentally slipped in the shower " ...
And more so the 2 horses finally made a full recovery

A few. Years back my next door neighbour who is a horsey man had 2 of his horses out in a field during a good weather spell . When he went to bring them in for the night at around 7pm (he had been to check in them 2 or 3 times through out the day ) both of them had crossbow bolts sticking out of them one had 1 the other had 2 .
Emergency call out vet then off to an equine specialist surgery . Both animals survived but it cost him a small fortune in fees .
Luckily the "horsey community " helped by sending him money & donations .
It took the police about 3 months but they did catch the moron responsible for it .
He had a collection of crossbows ,swords , rambo knives bought off the net .
As for WHY he did it when in court his reply was "I wanted to see how powerful it was .
He got 3 months jail

I put leds on the back and front of my Landie and had the same problem. You have to put some little gismo....don't ask me what it is called....in the power line and this solved the problem on mine. Your garage should know about it.+
Resistor . If car has canbus the leds dont create enough resistance for the system to recognize them so you need to compensate by bridging the + & - wires with a resistor

The main reason I didn't go the full complaint route was because of the long term impact it would have had. With my father now being somewhat part of that family....his mental instability plus that families reputation for taking revenge would have quite possibly led down the road of intentionally putting my wife and children's safety at risk.
If I could afford to move house I would. Perhaps with their landlord being called on by the police as well there is a chance they could be moving I suppose 🤔
Edit... just to say I did offer plod the evidence, I have them in a sealed bag if they ever decide they want to take more action
Taking all that into consideration you probably have gone down the right road..
But imo unfortunately by "letting them off " to speak is how the people you describe obtain their noteariatry / reputation
Be safe and do what you feel is best in your situation.

OP I would of deffo made a full complaint and showed plod the bolts .... one of them may of well ended someones life or seriously injured them ...
Nobodyimportant .. do you want a live in assistant I clean guns very good handy around vehicles being a retired mot tester/mechanic and not too bad at joinery

Pm sent re tyres

Strictly speaking it is an advisory as if you say its not leaking gases ....
But it's down to " testers discretion" so what 1 tester might pass & advise another may fail on the basis of it's not leaking gases but it may be structurally weakened enough to fail as he can can test corrosion by finger pressure or by" light tapping or scraping " with the c.a.t ( corrosion assessment tool .. or as we call it the toffee hammer)

SO DOES ANYONE ON HERE RUN A T31 XTRAIL ?
I have just bought a 08 plate 2.0dci auto one
if so what tyres are you running on it ?
The ones that are on are fine for road use but looking at the tread pattern I don't think they'll fair well on the muddy fields (not severe) I drive whilst bunny bashing .
I've checked the pcd , offset , and centre hole size and t30 wheels will fit ok .
Typical when My t30 blew its engine and I scrapped it I sold the wheels with geolanders fitted but at the min and probably for the next few months I can't afford to put them on this one unless I can find a S/H set somewhere

I would think that with nearly 3inch larger diameter you would have all sorts of rubbing issues. That is without a big speedo error.
7 minutes ago, decoy1979 said:They would take up 35mm of space around the arches so i'd have a measure and see what you have to play with first. If you do have enough space and choose a 2nd set of rims you would then have to consider rim width and may need spacers to adjust the offset.
There are a number of sites online that allow you to compare tyre/wheel setups.
You're also looking at roughly 9% Speedo error.
Thanks peeps I've found out all the info on the 2 sizes via a bit of net surfing and they won't fit .
So ill be putting some good bits Goodrich (I think that's what they are I'll check in morning) 4 of 266/65/17 tyres up for sale no picture repairs or sidewall damage in next few days ...

Bought a 2008 xtrail t31 2.0dci on Tuesday.
Its got 215/60/17 Road tyres on
I have a very good set of 4 x 255/65/17 M+S TYRES that I bought for a previous vehicle and never got fitted before it had a catastrophic engine failure.
Can anyone advise if the 255/65/17 will go on ..
If they will I'll get another set of wheels to put them on for shooting and keep the road tyres on the current rims for if I need to do a long journey on road
