    Shall I swap my loader ?

    what about spending £5000 on yours and buying an additional one at £35k. Then you always have a backup. For loading a biomass boiler, you could buy a construction spec machine which Usually have less engine power and no limited slip diffs. Would last for a long time.

    New toy day

    And what happens if you did sell it? Is there a penalty to pay, or is it not actually yours until after the year. Or do they just blacklist you and try and prevent you from buying another new one, ie to stop profiteering?

    Is there a way to re-number spanners?

    Meant you only needed one set of spanners to tighten the bolt. Not two of everything. Some suspension bolts on cars are like that. 16mm and 17mm. Or 18mm and 19mm.

    Which battery?

    That is common with lots of parts. The parts fitted in the factory are often better quality than the genuine replacements. Bought a Vauxhall Astra new in 1999. First set of brake pads done 20000, genuine replacements from Vauxhall only done 12000 and were much dustier. Different compound. Same...

    Rav4 v Tiguan

    What age, and are you looking 2wd or 4wd? 2wd rav 4 seem more common, same with the majority of these small SUV’s. If you need more than 1600kg towing capacity, then it has to be the tiguan.

    Power washer pump conundrum.

    Easiest way would be to remove the shaft and cut or press the rotor off the shaft and reinstall you could cut it off without removing the bearings. Or remove the stator assembly. See pic below.
