    My now ex brother in law was going away working, so pressed print on some saucy pictures off the net, however the printer wasn't working, off he went to Poland,  he had a lot of explaining to do when the printer was fixed by my sister and the print que actually printed. ?

    Yep very similar situation, apart from it wasn't just "normal" pictures!! He is a wrongen, and she found the lot!

    As a licence holder it's HIS responsibility to carry a licence when transporting a gun!

    This is my understanding and also have been told by various people, how can he say it's your fault for not telling him!! 

    You have been more than fair, some people just can't help themselves!

    Very good ideas. I like the chimney flue, a bit of skip dipping is on the cards I think!!

    To start with I was unsure the best approach, after reading walkers579's previous posts I thought I would try a feeder. All I could find were some catering size tins, like giant bean cans. Wire locked two together, a bit crude but hopefully it will be successful. 

    Im giving peanuts mixed with whole maize a go, fingers crossed they find it.

    I'll be watching this thread with interest, finally I have secured some shooting permission over woodland.

    Visited today to get an idea of the land and to position some feeders. Very much looking forward to going back to hopefully getting some greys. It's my first time trying for squizzers so a bit of a learning curve. An enjoyable walk though, had a robin following me watching what was going on!

    The earlier td5's can suffer head shuffle but it's no big deal as long as you know and can budget for it!

    Anything can be fixed, but in general yes, look for rust. There will be some for sure, have a good poke around.

    Generally people believe landrover should go on forever, they buy them run with no maintenance smashing them about off-road then when they start playing up sell it and moan they are unreliable! The unsuspecting new owner then has a huge repair bill and again whinges how bad they are! Take someone who has knowledge of them.

    Any car needs maintenance, they are mechanical and things wear out! If you are handy with the spanners you are on a winning streak already. 

    As regards to mileage I have had a few high ones, last courtesy disco td5 I had while they mot'd mine had 225k on it. My last td5 sold with 179k on the clock running a 170bhp tune, nearly 3 years on the chap tows every week with it without a problem. I spoke to him a few months ago, apart from tyres he has had no problems!

    With that kind of budget you could get yourself a tidy early td5, and that would be my choice.

    It's a very tuneable engine for very little outlay, I'm on my second td5, this one I have had nearly 3 years and as of yet not opened the bonnet. Provided they have been looked after they are very strong. Sure they have a few design faults as does anything.

    people keep saying they are expensive to run, last year mine cost me a service which I do and a mot, that's it! Given the value has risen lately it actually didn't cost me a penny to run.
