I’ve been using VPI Accrolor2 …. Seems very good. Just like Micro was……

I’ve had the same view. But …. I brought my Iveco for 5k about 7 years ago. It’s cost me about 1k a year to keep it going countless problems with electrics etc just as an example. Then you lose about a weeks worth of money with it being in and out of garage so let’s say another 1k. So the van...

Stokes about the same ….

Also if you were to buy a van from a loan would you put the loan payments through until it’s paid off?

I’m I right in saying if you buy a van for any amount it doesn’t all come off your tax in one go it comes off over a period of time?

That’s a fair point.

Nice van mate, but after something I can stand up in, and something I can slick 8x4s in on the deck and still get me bags and gear in side door. Not sure if any customs are this big?

https://www.vannational.com/used-ford-transit-stoke-on-trent-staffordshire-3989366 I’ve been looking at this one but trying to justify 27k on something that’s nearly 4 years old and got 40k on the clock……

Does that come with things like cruise control and heated front window or are they extras?

What will that cost you brand new @owls 30k+Vat?

Can you stand up in the h2s or does it need be a h3? I’m about 5’10

With not being vat registered, seeing vans + vat your like for fcuks sake. I seen a mint van for 16k + vat, then I’m like I don’t wanna give 20 for something that’s worth 16. Is there away around vat for us lads that aren’t registered?

Does that mean your going be selling something @owls ?

Frightening at the moment.

@madmonk … How did you get on in your van hunt mate? I’m looking to upgrade my 09 Iveco to a Ford transit, but it’s a minefield out there at the moment.

@Complete … Feel your pain mate, I’ve had sciatica since February now and not had a pain free day since. Had private MRI scan and I’ve got a bulging Disc L5/S1, which if I don’t get sorted will become a herniated disc like you. I’m Drinking lots of water and doing certain exercises see physio...

My diet isn’t great. Not the worst. Probably a couple of stone over weight if I’m honest. But like most of us it’s work work work kids at home etc, there isn’t 5 mins to take a s**t, never mind look after ourselves.

Not at that stage mate.

Supplements like cod liver oil?

I probably don’t drink enough hence why I had kidney stones a few years ago. I don’t take any supplements and don’t do any exercise outside of work I’m not much overweight. Had this since March now. The lady doing the acupuncture says the inflammation needs to go down for pain to go away.

Yeah I got one of them. Feels nice for a bit but that’s about it .

do you still get it or cleared up? I have been reading up bits from old threads

Cant even put my socks on in the morning never mind do my boot laces. Pain killers waste of time. Acupuncture not really doing much but only had 4 sessions. I’m wearing one of those weightlifting belts just to get through the day. It’s demoralising. Been told to Exercises, but how when you can...

No reason not to believe he brought it

I’m going to go for a Ford transit lwb high top. But would begrudge 25-30k out the savings. Even considering a loan as interest is so low. I’ve got until September before the Iveco fails another MOT and costs a fortune

Did you buy it or leasing it ?

Brand new mate? Leasing or paid for?

Ordered a pallet from Jewson’s this morning 5.23 +vat. Was 4.98 plus last year What do you pay at Travis?

Was thinking same, get a pallet delivered for the garage.... Don’t fancy lugging a trolly loaded with finish.

@hstoke @hollybank s**t load of stock everywhere from what I’ve seen ..... Are we still going stock up or reckon it’ll be ok? Weighing up a Wickes run in morning

Nope??

Maybe over skim stick to gyproc and on new boarded rooms use this SuperCove

Yeah I found the tubes of adhesive go nowhere for nearly £4 each I used 4 on 5 lengths!

Same old shite with walls and ceiling all over the place.

Paper rips a bit when cutting externals .... seems to take a bit longer for some reason start to finish. But went ok

Tbf you can fit 3.6s Gyproc no mither on your own, just fancied giving this lightweight shite ago .....

Have you used it mate?

Did you use the proper SuperCove adhesive? Or Pink grip?

Screwfix do supercove but wickes do a version under a different name is it same shite?

Bedroom to cove tomorrow was going use that Super Cove, not used it before but looks effortless. Anyone used it?

You learn something everyday mate

I’m I reading right the highly Ah the heavier the battery? I got the Hilti collated couple of years back with 2x 5.2ah batteries and it weights a ton. Good for the radio as lasts for ages......

can only find summit that’s a powder is that right? Or you got a link?

Near you or online mate?

Are you still using micro? If so where you getting it mate?

That’s a good shout Andy. Will give them a ring Monday

Where do you get that from ?

I have mate. Then they add 50 quid for delivery and 20% vat and it turns into a fortune

Yes that green stuff is decent. But Is like 24hours drying. Micro was ready skim in couple of hours. When you got be in and out in a day and all.
