interesting!
how much for delivery or collection from saumur (france) to mitcheldean gloucestershire??

Go get some quotes and I will beat it

i havent bought anything... its just if i do... when i had my jcb 3cx (9 tonnes) delivered it cost me £700....if this helps

MOT booked for the Vitesse Saturday morning, went down to Wickes Fridsay night after work to get some tiles, and it started pulling to the left when braking......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....most likely a fault on the right caliper- sure enough, damp pad which wasn't moving as it should..a quick strip down showed a mildly tarnished piston, enough to cause a leak past the seal. A clean up with 1500 wet'n'dry, reassemble and bleed, good as new, and pulling up in a straight line. It passed and is still dry but I suppose I'd better replace the seal now.

The initial cause is I believe the protective boot was adrift allowing winer salt in- I have 16P calipers, the boot is an unbelievable pig to fit, you really wouldn't believe how fiddly they are! 16PB's are identical have much better protection, must track some down!

after only 8 years of ownership i finally got the winscreen washer motor working on my jcb, it was full of sand & im getting all the lights to work again....

Does this mean you are planning some romantic night time digging

...and why do you need windscreen washing facilities on a JCB? Is this to keep things nice and clear for making your escape after you've managed to slice through a water main?

im doing my jcb test (class 4) friday in my own machine so i thought i ought to get it working properly....

There's a test? Cool! Pictures please, if you can take some while you're at it.

i will try, but its a written test & another showing i can use the machine & not kill anyone.
