I paid 30k in 2001 for lode lane to build a sv based on a tomb raider defender, I dread to think what that would be worth now if it wasn't stolen. I've another high spec defender now county td5 pickup, 30k on the clock 7 Yrs ago and I dread to think what that'd be worth also!

whats wrong, cant grow a beard?

You do that. And remember shaken not stirred. I'm still recovering after getting sprayed in the face with a mist of unleaded yesterday - fixing weeping car fuel tank bung. I think the tank was pressurized for some reason. Central heating oil is also another delicacy that hangs around the senses for a while. Im probably going to get cancer.

Aye I'm seeing that now, the same bunch who think the bloke who advised saville should be allowed to continue unchallenged, and has more or less ****************ed up everything he touched since walking through the door of #10 is going to fix the uk??? what a feckin' joke. good job were not all in the same room .

The taxes Reeves could raise to get the UK battle-ready for threat of Putin APPLE.NEWS Starmer unveils major plans to make Britain a ‘battle-ready nation’ - but questions about funding remain Battle ready armour clad nation 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️you’d have to be absolutely insane to buy into any of that utter BS. He could start by stopping the hounding of UK forces veterans for actions taken in wars they were sent to by spineless politicians. It’s never hard to realise Starmer is lying, just watch his lips move.

What's this stint of commuting into the smoke for? You've been at it a few weeks now.

That looks like a "hazard beam crack" and while it may not affect the stability of the tree for climbing if I were felling it I would be mindful of that crack compromising the hinge if it runs down, especially the way ash will often split. It's half way to a barber chair already.

Pimp my Mog! they do however have a considerable range of mud tires in 20" now these would be my choice, but you probably have to order them from an off road specialist. https://www.intercotire.com/tire/6

how are you testing for a spark. a poor coil will often produce a spark on a test lamp or earthed plug but be insufficient under compression to ignite fuel/air mix. is the plug getting wet on successive attempts at starting, stihl carb or ting tong land carb? it can be a bit pot luck with ebay china carbs there's a reason why they are so cheap. have you tested compression.

Im a climber from the UK subcontracting in Germany I need public liability insurance can someone please point me in the right direction thanks

If you look on ebay, the was someone doing alloy chip/tipper bodies in stoke

In my experience once Kd is well-established and visible there is very limited scope for only 'monitoring' it. It can but doesn't always progress rapidly, but full aeration takes it from a selective rot mode to full-on loss of strength. So, usually some sort of intervention is recommended. The life of the tree can be increased by crown reduction to avoid basal failure, but as with all reduction you're removing part of the tree's energy source to fight off further decay, accelerating the overall demise. A lean makes management decisions even more difficult, as leaners can in theory fail under the self-weight tension at the base. In practice failure will usually be triggered by a wind event. And there's always the issue that as things get worse the tree gets less climbable and more expensive to remove. 'Monitor' is such a useless recommendation for any risk survey. A specific season and year for reinspection should be specified, and take it from there. As precise a record of current condition and extent of decay and fuiiting is essential for future comparison. Risk is only partly about the tree. Target is as important, either by reference to defensible thresholds set by H&SE or in discussion with the landowner. Rarely I have seen trees with Kd in positions where intervention was not merited. I've spotted Kd on a few and recommended reisnpection after an appropriate period. I've also come a cross a few failures lying on the ground. But I don't have a body of records on what happens from discovery right through to failure.

Those Ifor Williams built in locks are only only good for securing trailer to ball hitch when is transit to kept it in place and not to prevent theft as very easy to overcome.

fair play to him, I apologize for perhaps jumping the gun[see what I did there] I hadn't realized it was your son, or that it was a posed pic.

My mother has a couple of fields of these. My advice would be do nothing, the ones that work for the environment will grow and the ones that won't die. After 5-10 years you won't see much difference. One is 20 years and looks fine, one is 7 and the ones that survived haven't filled the space yet, they will.

Used it today, we like it a lot! 4Ah battery dismantled an ash, logged it up and stil lhad 1 bar. Quite a few decent sized cuts to test it out, perhaps 16" dia with the 10" bar. I meant to swap a normal 14" bar to try but didnt have time. The balance of it is good, and it doesnt seem to slow down even when battery is low.
