Thanks for the help, it was the combo bulb but isnt blown! I have ruled out an issue with the car. This is what i have: Indicators and front facing lights fine Right brake fine Side lights fine Top light- what is this?!- always on on right, never on on left. Bulb ruled out. Left brake not...

Hi all, After searching the net with no luck, and asking my local (admittedly Ifor dealer) trailer centre with no luck, i'm hoping someone can help! My 3 month old cheval trailer has, it seems, popped a brake light bulb. its quite tricky to get into the housing so i'd rather not do it...

Hi @ROG & all! Interesting conversation just now with a trailer retailer.. before anyone says it, i've already emailed VOSA myself for confirmation but wondered if anyone on here knows- He advised me that the rule applying to post '97 licenses is now that the ACTUAL weight must not exceed...

Hi everyone, I'm after some advice and info on 3.5 ton horseboxes, regarding.... 1. What do people have and whats the internal dimensions of horse area? 2. Running costs - insurance, fuel, tax? Basically i currently tow a single ifor with an estate car. horse travels great, but if i'm...

Update, no snottiness today, edema still big but seems to have shifted slightly to one side (or reduced on one side, I'm not sure). It also seems firmer, I couldn't make an impression in it without pushing really hard (which would of got me kicked lol). Still baffled, another bute given, if no...

Really? I hadn't even thought of that, he is on the yard worming program, so I don't really worry about it. But it's always a possibility, will look into it thanks!

He had his teeth done on 1st June, and yes was a mouthful of caps! Good idea with the vapour rub thanks :) hopefully the bute will help the edema. If he doesn't improve he will have to have blood tests- I'm not having him filled with drugs without an actual diagnosis. Giving him a couple of days...

Thanks for replies. I haven't checked his temp, that's a good idea will see if anyone has a thermometer. Re strangles, this is why I spoke to the vet earlier in the week but they weren't concerned. His glands only swelled up for 1 day, and he isn't lethargic as such- he was a little that one...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this My youngster (3) had swollen glands in his throat about 10 days ago, for max 24 hours. Then a slightly snotty nose, again for max 24 hours, on that day he was brought in to hack, and seemed a bit lethargic. Since then, no snot etc ...

i should- he grows too much & ill have to upgrade to one of the fancy new chevals that are bigger!

i need the payload unfortunately, towing a 16.2 hanoverian who could get to 650! so i will have to stick to the beemer lol

I do have a handwritten receipt so hoping a photo of that will suffice! just need to go back & get the chassis code as didnt know i needed that until i went to fill out the form. Yeah i am, thanks mainly to your thread plus a couple of confirmation emails from dvla!! bmw 3 series 2045 GVW...

OK thanks- i spoke to ifor before, they first want me to register the change of ownership ( i've just bought the trailer) including sending proof of purchase, which is a pain as i bought it private, once thats done they will send the new plate & yes us £40 + VAT. Just wanted to know if it...

Hi, wondering if you can clear something up! I need to downplate my trailer- an ifor. I know what i want to downplate it to etc, but it seems i have to jump through hoops to get a new plat sent out by ifor themselves, and my local dealer want £60 plus vat to sort it! Does the vin plate legally...

Ah I haven't seen those, that is a good idea! Did you buy ones intended for horses, or human tablets?
