al4x

They are at the commercial rate along with the hilux ranger and Navara etc

The older l200’s had the same recall. It depends how worried you are but I never got the time to have it done. It’s all fine as long as you don’t test it!

That budget will buy a reasonable l200 B40 I think it’s 2.7t towing wise and no problem without weight in the back. Reasonable economy, and you don’t get hit for £500 road tax like most of the conventional 4x4’s in that price bracket

Look at the 31 x10.5 I think it is, pretty sure they are a very similar size and in 15”

Will try that, it’s particularly bad if there are any nettles about. Great strimmer other than that but a pain to keep having to re set the cord when it’s broken off inside the spool

Do any of the stihl users find theirs melts whatever brand cord they use? The outlaws have one and it just seems to eat cord

We’ve a 2014 plate one and it’s been pretty good so far. Had a couple of issues with batteries draining and a calliper problem on the rear but other than that a good motor. Economical goes well and she who must be obeyed drives it like she stole it....

There are lots of these cideos cropping up at the moment with the fraternity who do everything possible to drive over fields lamping. We are having huge problems with it and some cropped fields are trashed. Police don’t have the resources to deal with it and you can’t confront them as they ram any vehicle that tries. Go round most of rural herts now and every gateway is blocked, most boundaries are ditched as they seem to like doing it most on the wettest nights going. In our case we know who it is mainly, where he comes from and it only goes quiet when he is inside. Clips they have put on Facebook include ramming landowners on a public road but the worst that seems to happen is they loose the vehicles they are using but another one soon turns up.

The crank pulley usual issue on these is de lamination of the rubber inside. Simple fix usually and it’s the pulley that drives the auxiliaries rather than cam belt. As you have found out it’s not a major fix. I’ve had 4 L200’s now and they are a decent reliable shooting and recreation vehicle. Like all vehicles though get an abused one and it can cost you a lot of money

Another one here, very happy with their customer service after iresa went pop. The app is really easy to use and have signed a couple of people up via the link and it’s been dead easy and paid very fast

I’ve shot on a day there a few years ago. Nice ground and nice guys

I opted for one, no more reading the meter and accurate bills. Really nothing to be too scared of

Had a new l200 barbarian for a week now and it is very nice. Work have supplied it but it’s definitely an upgrade on the series 4. I had the option of whatever I liked to tried the rest and this is slightly smaller than most and turning circle etc is pretty impressive for its size. Goes well and is pretty refined for a pickup. The best advice is to go out and test drive them and see what deals can be done. With lid and tow bar etc the list on this is 33k so getting a decent discount is always good! As said service intervals are 12500 or yearly

I have to say we have a fan and it works well but we have a stove in an inset hearth. With your setup I wouldn’t bother as it won’t move the heat from room to room

My other half last year witnessed and a nasty head on accident involving the car in front of her. Due to the fact it was on a corner she drove round it and blocked the road and went back to help. While there some impatient individual squeezed past hitting her car and drove off. That was witnessed and the police were naff all use, they sent him a similar letter and let us have his details and that was it. He denied it and we were given the option of passing it to our insurers to pursue. As it was minor we didn’t bother, the main thing in this case is find out what is being alleged as it’s most likely the other parties insurers will be in touch shortly

Very nice, mine is due start of January and can’t wait!

i’ve Had 3 so far and done 150k in them. The first had a knackered head gasket but I bought it with it and once replaced was fine. The next two no real problems at all. Springs need replacing at 60k but that’s the only large thing. I’ve a series 5 on order and can’t wait. A little poncy and not quite sure how we will lamp from it but where there is a will there is a way!

Buy the stihl 1 shot containers unless you use a large amount. At 50:1 it’s 1 per 5l and they are pretty cheap

Personally I have never bothered draining down. The chainsaw will get the occasional run and the strimmer doubles as a hedge cutter so that gets the odd bit of pruning to do. That way they get some fresh fuel at some stage and i’ve Never had a problem on first start of the season

The outlaws have one on a 10 plate. It’s got 50k miles on it and they had to have a re built diff. Other than that it’s been ok, the only plus point is that was £500 for an exchange unit fitted by their local land rover specialist.

I had a littler from my Gwp in similar circumstances. Great experience and the pup we kept is a bit of a star. Cockers are simpler as there are loads of stud dogs about. First thing is get any of the recommended health checks done for your bitch. If that goes ok then start looking for a stud dog, if registered the kennel club have a few tools to help with checking how related they are and also checks registered against dogs in the lines history. Once you have a stud then you wait till the deed can be done, make sure the bitch is well wormed and you need to do this far more than usual through the pregnancy. whelping mine was easy but you never know with a first litter. Once you have pups the first month is easy the second month hell and you will be glad when they go! I ended up making money and it was a really good experience but it is hard work

Pet plan as well, I had a sizeable claim a few years ago and it didn’t go up hugely afterwards. They do reduce the cover slightly as the dog gets older but on a percentage basis so you contribute more rather than bumping the premium up

It just shows the progress being made. I’ve an 09 plate l200 and with at tyres get 32-33mpg on usual running around which is 440-460 to the same sized tank.

Shapes or heat sources, you can spot anything living with a thermal and very easily in the dark. Depending on the quality depends on the I’d, I spot with mine and shoot with nv, but the thermal is what will spot someone 500 yards away in a hedge behind the fox you are about to shoot

It’s tragic and one reason I like a thermal spotter even more at night as people can’t hide in the background as they stand out very clearly even when partially obscured by hedges etc
