A load of balls is what it is. There's an awful bad setup on the land cruisers for the handbrake, it has to pull the left wheel before the right and it's the same thing every year trying to get it right. I wouldn't mind but the rest of it is spot on. Trivial enough I think..

If you don't retest in 21or 28 days can't remember which it's €110.

That's it alright. It went up this year. Couldn't believe it when your man asked for 110 after the test as I was expecting the usual 90. Was bloody lucky to have it on me.

Indeed it is, It's the 45 quid for the retest that's killing me. Was sure after all I had done it was just a formality doing it.

Whatever the crack is with brakes, I find it very hard to get through the test if they're renewed just before the test.....always something wrong

I think a lot of problems with brakes is people not changing the brake fluid every two years like recomended. The fluid takes in water and seizes the pistons.

Test it and see what it needs, better off with the jeep you know instead of some mystery yoke. A newish one could depricate by 3 grand a year, a few hundred might sort his and it won't depreciate into nothing overnight, always a buyer for that model.

Is this the one ya bogged in the field

Nekarsulm

The 4wd can be just the servo/electric switches down in front of the front axle (unless you mean the actual lever is stuck) Rear wheel bearings have a reputation for being a pig to change. Rust at the rear of the chassis is another culprit.

Just back, in time for the rain two. Great time had by all. Silage done in my absence!!! Mixed weather, some unreal thunder and lightening at night. One night you could hear the glasses in the press clinking with the vibrations. Visited some big food stores over there and not as much as one Irish product on the shelves. Half thought I might see kerrygold butter etc but none. Did I miss anything!!!!

Have often got smell of 'da fry' here. Presumed it from neighbours. One evening the aroma was very mouth watering. Happened to be talking to them and mentioned it. Told me they not have a fry for over a week. Imagination getting the better of me!!

Bit of homemade potato bread fried after the rasher and a tomato os some tasteI
Or homemade brown bread fried in tbe same if you want a decent cholesterol boost

The limit is 50 posts, there was an issue a while back where someone created multiple accounts and posted illegal content on different forums.

In order to address the issue the quota was brought in in the hopes that the same would not occur again.

If you would like me to upload something for you I could do so if you PM'd me the link?

Just back in after having a sh1te day between upset cattle and repairing fencing and rights of way.
A neighbours bulling Lm heifer broke into ours last night (Thurs). She landed into a field of weanling calves and proceeded to barge her way through most of the farm and broke electric/barbed wire fences on her mission. To make matters worse, the calves followed her and mixed with other batches of calves :mad:
This afternoon we managed to separate her and put her into a pen. I spent the early afternoon trying to stop the bitch from trying to jump out over the gates until the owner came to collect her.
We spent the evening trying to sort the mixed calves into their respective groups.
Re- rights of way. Another neighbour that buys some turf from our bank decided to draw some of his turf home on Wed and Thurs. Another neighbour altered us to what was going on.
This guy has ploughed up the right of way to the bank with his new tractor and shiny new tyres with trailer.
OH is not happy.
My original plan for this evening was to have a barbecue but that went by the wind.

Nothing worse than the right of way getting ploughed up. We drew our turf home early one year and the neighbours used our empty bank as a road to their banks afterwards. Ploughed up the whole bank on us that year
