  1. I've moved a few containers on trailers, but only on local roads. Probably thirty miles as a max. I've always used sleepers as supports. Trailer is a triaxle Ifor HD Biggest issue is side winds as the tail will wag the dog, but to be fair its just like towing a double axle caravan (like a Birstner) in a side wind. Don't forget max length of trailer must be a max of 7m and that's from the tow couple to the rear
  2. Depends very much on what you want to do with it and how the vehicle is set up
  3. It's the under seat water storage area that was causing the problems
  4. After spending a few hours trying to fix a drowned TD5 the other weekend, I'm even more convinced that electrical is the thing to avoid
  5. The only reason the Standard isn't the best is because the Perkins 3.152 was and still is one of the finest three cylinder engines ever manufactured. The Standard is a lovely engine and the cold starting issues are easily worked around with modern gloplugs, batteries and starters
  6. Just waiting on confirmation of dates from 4x4 Days. We've agreed we will run the refreshers at 4x4 Days Events
  7. Don't place value on the extra's. Use them as a bargaining chip - ie what can be used or sold on to reduce cost of owning vehicle In the Project Jay (your is a Romulus, not a Jay) Club, we look at every Jay having worth as a collectors vehicle, so price on how much it will cost to return to standard or approaching standard. This becoming the same with Romulii. Take a base, well serviced vehicle as being 3K, then reduce by what needs doing - for example sills or inner wings, then reduce by what can't easily be done to return to standard - for example a camel cut A Romulus with flaky sills is going to be nearer 2k than 3k as a repair isn't just patches The interior needs to be clean, tidy and preferably not eaten by a dog. If bits have been removed, put them back on. You have three markets Beat it to death 'off road' - they won't pay for a tidy vehicle, so just put you op picture up, say it's got loads of 'Off Road preparation and hope to get 1.5k The huge market that need a decent tow vehicle/family barge/4x4/room for kids - they will be impressed by cleanliness, lots of good pictures and a decent service record. 2.5K is achievable as this vehicle needs to last The collector - weird lot, may pay 3k if it's really tidy, may not even offer 500quid I was chatting to a chap last Saturday Morning (03.00) who is looking for a decent solid 300 and he has budgeted 3K for the buy, with 6 for the tidy, respray and a few goodies. He's looking for 10 years plus form the motor.
  8. Big difference is whether it's made with apple juice or apple juice syrup. The former tastes far, far better
  9. Imported juice, probably from down here. We export juice to Wales, Ireland and Scotland
  10. Hecks - finest cider in the world
  11. And too far. An old friend moved to Elgin when he was invalided out of the Army. Bought an amazing house to do up. But it's 14 hours driving to get there And they don't make cider in Scotland
  12. Start points are Launceston, Popham and Cirencester, converging on Bridgwater
  13. That's a shame, I was hoping you would chose the South West
