somethings stagger the imagination...the point of vehicles like these is that they may only be needed a few times a year, but theyre always ready and AVAILABLE. I remember when Fylde council got rid of all their snow plough 'enabled' wagons (front mounts with hydraulics)...two years later they had to 'buy-in' trucks from the private sector at a daily rate that was three times the cost of plough gear for two trucks!!!!

...oh yes...and we've just had electric (YEDL/CE) on the field....four landrovers, two 4x4 chevvies, four transits (all 4x2) a renault kangoo and a big 4x4 110 Iveco, one of the guys saw my ivie in the barn, an old yorkshire electric 4x4 and mourned their passing, he said if they (YEDL) had still had them it would have only taken two, one workshop truck, one tele-hoist...now they dont 'own' any vehicles, their all leased....we had to pull all the transits out!!!!

Alas it would appear that all three have now been or are in the final process of being sold.

Good news, one of the deals has fallen through so I've been offered to buy my Iveco H228 AHS, so I need to find insurance for it now so I can get it out of their hands before they change their minds, any pointers at where to get some? I would rather a month by month policy as my plan would be to sell it on to a good home (and then donate the profits back to the Red Cross)

iveco
My daily 4x4 is coming up for sale soon. downrated to 3.5 ton. J reg. No rot at all, anywhere. surface rust only here and there. electic front dif lock on a timer, manual rear dif lock, pto with a hyd. pump fitted. split rims (don't like 'em really) freewheeling hubs, always, regardless of cost, maintained prior to storing it this last 2yrs., cab totaly solid and soundproofed (not silent but a comfortably throaty growl)run's on veg oil, kerro,(bosch pump) CLIMB'S WHAT YOU POINT IT AT! get the right gear, point it, take your foot of the accelerator and this truck knows what to do if you don't. Currently with an alley flat bed on. ONLY EVER CARRIED LETTUCE'S ,TISSUE PAPER AND SPIDERS WEBS but I'm told if you put 5 ton of scrap on it you can't tell it's carrying it. Everything works except the speedo. Rear brakes sticky from storage but I do run it and drive it arround my land every few months. Starts first revolution of engine every time, on any fuel, and no preheater aid. this truck has been my favorite toy. Bereavement and need of bigger truck makes me want to sell. Come and look, have a demo over rough ground, make a sensible bid. Lancaster uk area. This is a presentable working truck.
