    Car manufacturers and warranty customer experiences

    Having had a nightmare with VW recently are there any manufacturers who offer a proper full no quibble warranty and courtesy cars at no cost. I’m at war with VW over a brand new car. At 1800 miles the management light came on. I rang the dealer who said it’s a 16 week wait to get it in but I...

    Piton Hitch

    I've got a tractor with a piton type hitch. Is there any particular type of towing eye they should be used with? Or are they in effect just a fixed pickup hitch, so anything goes so long as you can lower and raise the trailer/implement towing eye? Does it have any advantages over anything else?

    Hilux mk7 vs ranger

    Hi all, another truck post so apologies, looking for a new work truck and have narrowed it down to a 66plate hilux 2.5 with 41000 miles or a 67 plate ranger 3.2 wild track with 80k. Tempted by the high spec on the ranger but also conscious the hilux would be more reliable. Are the 3.2 ranger...

    Lifting dead sheep

    Having turned 70 a few weeks ago , today for the first time I found I could not lift a dead ewe and throw it in the back of the pick up. I feel fine physically and assume advancing years are sapping my strength. Other than kitting the truck up with a winch, does anyone have an easy, practical...

    Looking to change our 3.2 Ranger and someone said the 10 speed isn’t good towing as it spends its whole time hunting for gears. Anyone know if this is the case?

    Removing conditioner.

    I'm doing a bit of zero grazing with a mower and wagon. Is it possible to remove the conditioner on the mower? if so, would the wagon still be able to pick the grass up?
