No Alex, stop and desist. We are old and live in the past, we like it here and will not leave. Keep your cyber-slipknot-shouty-screamy-hateful-dirtyhaired-fire in a petshop rubbish. I want Simon le Bon on a yacht, in the Caribbean singing his heart out, and you will not prevent it!

Is this a one off or something that may come up again in future? It's something I've often thought would be interesting to be involved with, however I'm booked for the remainder of the year.

Beating today? I am. Swimming weather here.

Good Morning Misty Murky and a couple of tons of Beech to collect Have fun

Agreed, didn’t like them a young man, cos they were good looking and the girls loved them. But listening to their best stuff these days, it was pretty good. SLB is a great front man with a really good powerful voice.

Oi oi then ! 🙂

If you read what Mark wrote you will see its not a casting defect but the casing was scored from a thrown chain . He did a quick repair by removing the burr and scoring that was causing the problem . Aside from that , a 395xp is a cracking ( old school now ) saw that is tried and tested . I have one ( Crocky ported ) and have had 2x 394xp as well over the years .

@Mark_Skyland Isn't that a casting defect? How is the "new" part showing? I thought Husqvarna builds quality chainsaws for fcks sake... And I was thinking about a 395xp... Not that the current Makita EA6100 P is doing anything wrong...

A memory that has always stuck with me was that one of the lads in school was absolutely gutted when he found out that wild boys was a Duran Duran song. He's long dead unfortunately , a good lad just a bad upbringing.

I'm told that it was one of many that had issues.

is it licensed for the road sir what about MOT

Turns out it is the X having checked, so must be the same as all others. Cheers

I was only joking. I charged £20, he's a good customer and I learned something.

That's the old "hitting X with hammer £1, knowing where to draw X £999" story in action. Offer to sell him a refurbished cover for £50 ? Then he should come back next time the saw breaks.

Well seeing as it's "Genpower Ltd" based on Pembroke Docks, it's obviously not Lord Bamford.

Underrated band.

The long winded version. Slackened off the chain so its hanging a lot and after a bit of messing about I could see that the chain was getting pinched at the top of the guide bar. I turned the bar and it did the same thing, the sprocket cover and guide plate (this thing in case people are wondering what it is Husqvarna 522 74 28-01 Chain Guide Plate SKYLANDEQUIPMENT.COM Replacement chain guide plate for the Husqvarna chainsaws listed below. FITS HUSQVARNA CHAINSAW MODELS 545 MARK II, 545G MARK II, 550 XP MARK II, 550 XPG MARK II... In this photo you can see the cover was scored along the top probably due to a thrown chain. ) Although the surface didn't feel raised I gave it a bit of a tickle with the angle grinder and boom, job done. The amount of material that I removed was next to nothing but enough to cause an issue that I haven't came across before. BTW Im not going to tell the customer that I repaired the cover I'm going to just bang a new one on for the handsome sum of £92 quid. I hope he doesn't use Arbtalk!

I like that, I could handle hearing that theme tune every time I climb. Much like I spring up like a ninja every time I put my Harken Ninja foot ascender on...

Agree. I think we've had people on here trying in vain to source blades for JCB chippers too...
