  1. Best option is to sell privately, if you are looking for 11k plus vat it’s unlikely to come from a dealer. I was looking for one just like that but looks like we are buying a new house so the current one won’t be upgraded in the near future.

    Caravans

    65 mph yes it’s 5mph over the limit on motorways but it is well within the vehicles capability.

    Caravans

    I used to bash them a little then got a mrs whose parents have one. We now borrow it regularly and I have to say quite enjoy it. Towed with my l200 it is easy at 65 so not much slower than without. Kids and dogs come with us and some of the sites are really good. Things to look for are damp but other than that most things are pretty simple
  4. A lot depends on the spec and if you aren’t buying from them just looking to sell them you won’t get decent money. Try we buy any car as an online guide to value they weren’t far out with mine
  5. Why do you need manual shift? Our 09 plate rav was full time 4x4 but economy was good
  6. I can’t as let’s face it a lot of people who shoot are on here. However this was certainly 3 weeks in the property while the holder has been on holiday but there is a lot more to it. When we get it settled I will fill in the dots!
  7. Gun has gone whether there are more is another matter and I guess a revoke will happen but is there an offence / sentence attached or is it deemed revoking the cert is enough
  8. I’ll fill in the full story when I can but like you i’m Not sure if there is a specific offence. I know this case has allowed access to people without a certificate but plod have been inept and verging on dangerous so far
  9. We have a little issue that I can’t say much about but if as a licence holder you don’t notify the police of a change of address and then don’t fit a cabinet to your new address and keep your shotgun behind the door are you likely to just be revoked or is there an offence attached to this?
  10. I have to say I have had a multi strimmer, brush cutter and hedge cutter from screwfix £125 or so on a special offer. 3 years later it’s still going well, starts easily and has had a fair bit of abuse. The mother in law has a stihl and yes it is a heavier duty machine it was twice the price
  11. Ahh we have a diesel, so 7 seats and a spare, the rav you just used to get a can instead of a spare
  12. My other half has had a rav 4 and now an outlander. The rav was fine economical and reasonably nippy. Fine for 2 children and 2 dogs. The outlander is more refined and works well for us as it’s a little bigger than the rav. As you’d expect with jap no problems really to speak of other than usual servicing
  13. Direct line, admiral group and lv have all insured mine over the years and that’s social domestic and commuting and reasonable prices
  14. The outlaws and a few mates have them. The outlaws needed a diff rebuild last year at 50k which seems fairly common. Not that expensive, a mates has had a few electrical gremlins they have been a nightmare used to just refuse to start from time to time. I believe in the end they changed the dash as it was probably linked to the electronics thinking the steering wheel lock was on. That was reasonably expensive but his only real fault. They seem fine really and hold value well
  15. Sadolin do a stain/ paint that seems to actually last on rough sawn wood outside. Not the cheapest but stays on
  16. It’s unusual to have total failure these days and on that age truck. I guess a pipe has burst but it’s usually an easy fix. The new barbarians are very nice but hell they have a lot of lights just about everywhere if you ever go lamping!
  17. If zero is fine using the archer on paper at the range you are shooting then it’s down to you. If you are zeroing with it off then try again. Personally after 5 misses i’d Have found a target to shoot at to see what was going on
  18. Pet plan were good when I claimed, having paid in for seven years we had an incident beating and they paid out fine. And paid out for two other operations and drugs while sorting the problem. Had I been paying it would have been painfull. What I have been impressed with is the premiums haven’t gone up much and that’s considering the dog is nearly 11
  19. No.... but i’m Guessing one is a spare for when the other breaks...... Ultimately they are a luxury car and with big bills and you won’t hear about the reliable ones. As ever but on history and condition and budget plenty for repairs
  20. I think these have an oil cooler which might be worth a look

    CIL levy

    All you can do is get back to your planning consultant on Monday morning. It looks like being agricultural doesn’t exempt you unless you meet certain criteria so best to do more homework before you argue it too much
  22. I find my l200 rows ours fine and much preferable to the outlaws discovery which I used to hate towing it with. security is the issue though you can get central locking kits that lock the tail gate on the l200 but not sure i’d Be happy with that with thousands in the back
  23. Ahh a poo cocker make sure you don’t get it too dirty when you take it shooting!

    Archer NV

    The key to it is the rear focus ring on your scope, wind it out a load and try again!

    Boiler Grants

    Put another way we pay more for our energy due to these incentives and those with the most inefficient boilers will have paid in the most.
