Your last sentence is pretty much what they said to me. However, this is a particularly complex hose with three extruded joints and a tight radius incorporated. Of all the engine hoses this is one I would have appreciated an opportunity to replace. I did get the front-to-rear ones upgraded to stainless and new rad hoses at least. They didn't recommend reusing my old ones of those.

Used it for an hour this morning simply moving the 1 tonne builders bags I have filled with garden cuttings. Put the straps over the rear arms, lift and drive to drop the bags accessible to load into the car.

Then I tied a tarpaulin to the rear arms, piled tree branches on this, and dragged this to where I am having a skip delivered to.

The above two jobs would take all day doing it manually. Just 1 hour in the tractor.

Looking to get a scraper attachment so i can run it over the surface of the garden to keep it looking tidy. Next door neighbour has a rear bucket thing I can use to level off a few places, but he is away at present.

And its here to tinker with....

Sat and looked at the (lack off) space in front of the garage and thought, "yep, I bought a Matiz yesterday that appears* to have no o/s/r brakes".

Oops were you aware of the braking situation before attempting to stop?

Regular listeners will recall my rant about Scumbag Romanian cunts last week.
In contrast to this two regular blokes turned up this afternoon had a poke around the Fiat drove it round the block , offered £1200 against the £1350 advertised, daughter settled at £1250 they paid, her she did the change of ownership. Just like the olden days.

I was talking to one of them, turns out they import Classic Yanks and one wanted it for his daughter. They had an actual fight with some Romanian cunts a few months ago when trying to sell an e39 M5. Oil in the header tank trick and during the kerfuffle one of them tried to get in the guy’s house !

I’m going to advertise my E Class next, should get an Albanian turn up pay a fair price and drive it away, that’s what happened the last two newish Mercs I sold. Think I’ll ask where they’re from before I give em my address, WCPGW?

Stopped OK on test drive, just handbrake didn't engage " spring broken M8".

Looked under when home and o/s/r appears to be missing the wheel cylinder, which would explain the shoes and brake springs in the boot
