Decided I can't ask to borrow Phil's trailer again (he will lend it to me, I just can't ask for a while
). Looked into hiring one, quite a few around but none on my doorstep so by the time I've hired including jungle juice driving over to collect/drop off, I'm about £150 down per weekend. Decided if I was spending money I don't have (credit card
) a better deal was to buy one and re-sell.
Friday night ebay session secured one - only problem was the one I bought (bargain!) was in Brum and I don't have the Disco yet. Went to hire a Navara I've used before but that didn't go according to plan... It was out that morning so couldn't collect till half 1. When I got there, the brake lights had stopped working
I spent 2 hours with them trying to fix it but no joy, so he let me take the only other thing they had with a tow bar...
Late afternoon set off to Brum, got back at half midnight and dropped it off at the barn this morning;
Cost me £85 in Diesel but... the bloke didn't charge me anything for the truck hire because I'd spent that time trying to fix their vehicle
(That sort of service, plus their prices is why I've been using them for 10 years whenever I need a van
)
This is what I bought.
14' x 6' bed, new tyres all round, bearings just greased, new wheel arch covers, decent weight and strength, nice and low etc. Well pleased
Should do the job nicely for moving the rest of the CXs and I should be able to sell it on for a profit.
