Top guy!!! Every month I go off roading down that way normally round Haslemere or alton four marks etc etc so can divert back that way after if that's good for you ? It's normally a Sunday afternoon if not can pop up Saturday morning

I am in Horsham every day, do you have an engine? Most parts other than the ignition are engine parts, I have a fuel filter assembly you can have too.

I only know them a Searles, I think it was Les Searle originally, they have or did have a fair amount of heavy equipment back in the 80's they had several CAT dozers, dumptrucks and Terex TS14's they also had a large field by the railway that was full of old plant from the 50's and 60's it was a real sight for any plant enthusiast.

I remember going in Searles yard as a kid. My dad new them through the traction engines. It was an awesome site to ten year old. Acre upon acre of parked up kit dozers cranes scrapers everything you could imagine packed in like sardines and slowly being lost to the brambles.
Still go in there now occasionally for roudens and fth but all the old kit has long gone.

Quick question guys I'm talking to a dealer about a wiring loom he's asked if I i need a 2 aux or 3 aux I'm only likely to be using a hammer if I get one so would a 2 be suitable?

It’s what I do!
Very unlikely that you would need a 3 aux, unless you are going to have a tilt bucket, and hammer, with hydraulic quick hitch, generally on a 216 you may have a manual or no hitch, and just hammer/auger circuit with tap!

Thank you mick I kinda guessed this but wanted to double check as it's a expensive mistake if it's wrong

Does anyone know where I can get like a spec list for what bolts are needed ? Length etc
