Top bargain there - tis a thing of beauty. well done that man!!

is the right answer in my experience - they appear to be "butt hinges". As the linked article states, "flap hinges" have much more adjustment, and we have replaced most of our butts (!), with flaps (!!) now. they are available all over the internet, including the bay of fleas... On one particularly exposed and heavily used door, we put 5 flaps - a great improvement... ATB

I am glad you bought the Toyota. Its my recommendation every time. I have a good pal with a 2006 auto, and you could eat your dinner off the chassis underneath, it is spotless. I would have one if I fitted in them ( very long legs = I don't ). We had a navara, from new. I will always advise anyone to avoid them. Even if they only have half the trouble we did. And in my experience, Nissan "customer service" are a complete joke. Best of luck with your truck. It looks really smart, and good value too!

Agree on every count. I do wonder how long her hearing will last... but then I also wonder how long she will actually live for !! She is the last of the litter now..... mmm.... decisions, decisions !! Oh yeah, food will definitely work !! she has a better appetite than her four year old companion!! Thanks again the help

Have you been to our local then Thanks for all the info... trying whistle first, then the collar if and when that doesn't, or stops working. Thanks again.

Agree 100% - even at this advanced age - she is fine with learning "new" stuff - or more accurately taking directions in new ways - this is why we are bothering trying to help - she is the best working dog we have ever had, and I reckon, given the work she has saved me, that I owe her one. ( probably several, actually !! )

When all the strays from miles around come running..... its working Thanks. will give that a go. Thanks for that too... will try the whistle first, and then, as necessary get her a collar.

Thanks for that - do you mean the "535" ? even at £20 - its still peanuts. TIA

Thanks for the reply I have actually been clapping to get her attention, and then hand signals to command - and god bless her, she is getting the hang of this quite well.. Just googled prices of dog whistles... blimey! £1 - £3 each - you're a bit reckless you are !!! Care to recommend a frequency for a collie ? TIA

Right then, long story short, my current oldest Collie will be 15 in August. Pic attached! She is very definitely retired, but still in "good order", a few lumps and bumps, all of which have been biopsied and shown up as essentially irrelevant. Same Vet all her life, almost can't believe how well she is !! So, she probably has a few years left in her... hopefully good ones.. The problem, such as it is, is that her hearing is failing, so she "needs" a "deaf aid" !! could use a walkie talkie on a collar to enable us to get her attention when necessary..... And I am sure I can find a miniature one, so she doesn't need a neck brace to carry it Or, I have seen the shock collars that have a bleeper on - would this work ( NOT the shock bit !!! JUST the BEEP BEEP !!) Or ?? any one have any ideas Thanks for any help - she'll appreciate it.... Pardon?!?!??!?

is the right answer. £340 for new drums and shoes !?!?!??! O/P:- Glad you went somewhere else - as Harnser said, rear drums do so little work, that it is almost always **** and Crud which causes a problem.

one word for the lot of you....:- LINUX its FREE !!!

I would suggest he tells his shooting organisation sharpish, and lodge his guns in the same vein.

me too!! tis the all in one approach - kills mole, buries mole, and, er, "gets rid of" the mole hill too

Absolutely, definitely do this. it is far more use than anything LR fitted. ( gazzillions of them on fleabay ) They left the factory in a mild state of tune, and will respond well to tweeks to the Bosch pump. you do need to watch for smoke though. IMHO, these engines are quite tolerant of high EGT, but there is a red line - and you will NOT know you are anywhere near, without the gauge, it until its too late.
