  1. If I had a choice I would go block every time with raised bed and insulated and a concrete run with 1 block all way round and built in drains but if you do go wood route just a shed design with raised bed with a run with slabs down does the trick if you know your not going too be there for years

  3. Next year I'll be getting a cocker spanial in to hunt flush to the runners and working with my pals birds and for knocking woods out to guns and runners.

    They seem to excel at the bushing game and ill be able to run them through woods with holes in without fear of dropping in like my terrier.

    So the point of the topic is to throw some pics up of pure cockers that you work and any info about lines etc

    Atb jcm

    there is few lads up this way running cocker spaniels too be honest they would surprise most folk but I will say this with out proper training they do just become nuts for the hunt and would make you look daft on a beating line only thing I notice they will knacker them selfs out very quick if left unchecked and there not daft can be very quick and smart and will enter any cover if there is some thing there the only thing I would say if your hoping that they don't drop too ground you may be surprised cos some of them got heart of a lion

    Sure it's pretty impressive but what's the point you can alrdy buy a eletric saw

     

    True, but can you take the blade off an electric chain saw and put a sanding disc on and sand the piece of wood that you have just sawn?

     

    Seriously though, I think you just do not get it. It's about the concept, the ability to come up with an idea and follow it through to have something that works as a consequence.

    no I get it I like a lot of that lads videos the sunken bench is a good one but I don't see the point in reinventing the wheel when the wheel still works is all

  7. Think the ban on deyodrant is cos the kids inhale the gas too get a slight high can mind when I was at school that's what a load of kids done you put your jumper round the lid a few times so it caught the deyodrant stuff and you put your mouth up too it too inhale the gas but we did have some dumbasses in are year but it was a craze with some of them

    There has been diesel lpg conversions for a while now or well my old man has one

    That's very interesting. They seem to be selling it on performance increase rather than economy, do you have any idea what it improves economy by? 10-30% increase in power could realistically be matched by a decent remap at half the cost and without the need for a gas tank.

    iam really not clued up on it too be honest my old man had he's done he told me unless your doing a lot of motour way miles it's not worth it for the benefits too out way the cost of installing it but the one problem he does find it lags a lot more round town when your not really gunning it but he has a switch. Inside that turns it off he only uses it on the motur way but he is doing close too 200 motorway miles a day he said he gets close too 1000 miles on both tanks were he was only getting 700 miles on just desiel that's as much of my knowledge

    Slightly off topic and hope you don't mind me jumping on here Moorside but to the lads who've got these pickup trucks - what sort of MPG are you getting? Around town and on a run?

    I've seen the book figures for them but I don't think they are ever close to real life figures.

     

    I thought you had a Hilux? Mine does 30mpg average and 36-38mpg on a run.

    No mate I've got a Vectra estate. Really fancy one of these pickups and need one really but I'm a bit of an MPG lover. My Vectra does 40mpg driven hard around town and close to 60mpg on a run driven steady.
    If you worried about MPG convert one to LPG I have a forester and I get around 200 mile for £20. Definitely worth doing especially on big 4x4
    That's never crossed my mind to be honest mate. Certainly worth thinking about.

    What sort of money is the conversion?

    Not sure to tbh but definitely worth doing. Iv heard its around £800 to £1000 but the gas is less to buy and tax is also lowered. If buying a newish motor definitely worth looking at

    Iv had mine a year now and it's never missed a beat and been through most terrains only having to be pulled out once when every wheel was off the floor.

    Thanks for that fella. Will look into it for sure.

    LPG conversions are for petrol engines. I don't know of any pickups in the UK market that have petrol engines. Unfortunately it doesn't matter how any body spins it, 30mpg is about ya lot with them.

  10. I get 30mpg average with my navara and it's done all I've asked of it? I used to have a manual one and it did get a bit slippery on the back end when off road, but I think all rear wheel drive pick ups do if you don't put them in 4wd lol got the same version with an auto box now and I like it TBH? Surprised the navs not been mentioned?

    cos the engines blow up at 80 k
  11. Get in the pub mate you see some Utes outside it with some dog cages on the back that's your best bit and get rdy too buy some beers the South Islands nice lots of hares as well the fishing is good you just won't get used too having too go too the shops for beer instead of drive thrus and if your in the South Island it's really not that cold as some say

  12. Can any one actually explain what the hell we even import from them any way that we can't do are selves I can understand food grain and such but the vast majority of it comes from Russia the States and and Egypt way sure we get some meat but you can still import from nz USA South Africa Australia I can't see it what do we actually import from them that we can't get elsewhere so what if we could not buy there cars we have been making are own for years it's there loss in my eyes I just don't understand what all the faffle is about can anyone explain

  13.
