Title: What is YOUR Newest Toy ???
Post by: John_Flynn on July 17, 2005, 07:33:33 pm
Mine is a Greenglide I think it is the Dogs Doda's !!

Much easier to work with, makes as good as job as without and is much less of a strain on the old back.

Is that a car or a van??

I use the Rotowash to agitate.

Vacuum
Pre-spray
Rotowash- with freshwater & deodoriser in the tank
HWE

Makes a bit of extra work for me, but the results are worth it and it also brings the pile up very well.

Good piece of kit, but not worth over £2k, there are cheaper versions about.

A mate of mine got caught using the red stuff in his car £500 to release the vehicle and if he's caught again he won't get the car back :o Saying that he's been using it for 3 years now so £500 not much compared to what he has saved in the 3 years ;)

Steve

How about the Injectors I am led to believe that the dye in the fuel colours the Injectors, this is how they can tell that you been using the cheap stuff, did the £500.00 release fee include the Ministry fitting new Injectors??

i think it is ok to use red in your truck mount, isn't it? ???
Title: Re: What is YOUR Newest Toy ???
Post by: stevegunn on July 19, 2005, 05:19:58 pm
No they just dipped the tank and the £500 was just the release fee.He was given 72hrs to have his tank drained at a garage but as he was going to Manchester to catch a flight they said as long as he filled up with the correct fuel he would be ok.

you should've saved the money on the truckmount and bought a better van! What was wrong with your old truckmount?
Title: Re: What is YOUR Newest Toy ???
Post by: magic_carpet on July 21, 2005, 07:41:23 pm
nothings wrong with my old spitfire. the hrs i'm doing makes a diesel pay for it's self.plus dual wanding cuts time. new van is on the way soon. how're you getting on with your tm?had any problems? they do take a bit of getting to know.
