  3. I know you fud, I was just messing. That’s actually a pretty nifty technique.

  5. I’m not an expert on the legal side but as far as I understand it, once they’re PAYE you need to make sure they’re at least hitting minimum wage for all the hours they’re classed as ‘working’, and travel time can fall under that depending on where they’re starting from. A lot of firms I know pay something for travel if it’s a long run, even if it’s not the full rate, just to keep things fair. Probably worth having a quick chat with an accountant or HR advisor so you’re covered, especially with 2.5hr drives each way.
  6. Worth trying a couple of the local coppice lads around Herefordshire – a few still cut decent hazel each winter and usually have binders and stakes stacked. Also check with the Small Woods Association groups in the area, they often know who’s got fresh hazel in. For 63m you’ll need a fair bundle, so best to ring ahead before you drive out.
  7. Try giving a shout to a couple of the bigger firewood lads around Cheshire/Staffs, they usually know who’s moving artic loads at the moment. A few mills will deliver mixed hardwood/softwood if you’re not fussy on species, but it depends what’s coming in. Might be worth asking local contractors too, a lot of them have surplus straight off jobs.

    I’ve not heard of that one. They had the 2.8 out over here and it was a great motor but then I heard they had changed to some sort of hybrid type. I was looking to upgrade mine and went in for the 2.8 but they said they we no longer available.
  16. Just to tie this off, the spigot for the drop link was in the old wishbone but sheared off when trying to remove it. That and a drop link was £120 from Land-rover so, I drilled and tapped the spigot to M5, cut the head off a bolt and screwed that in lovely! The drop link was slotted back together and had a tie wrap secure the two halves! Decentish bodge job but it works!
  17. Bigger engine and 12–15” feed should be fine, but check how easy it is to move and set up.

    My mate, Josh turns up with toys for Sailor. They usually squeak. This one squeaks and rustles. Sailor loves them. d2e3ea1c-1aa3-4586-ad3c-9e0989ff4468.mp4
  21. Oh fck off, you chancing bint.
  22. Well Jesus H Christ 🤣🤣
  23. Same issue - solved after much grief by using air compressor (low pressure - just enough to make snapped off piston stop rattle inside the cylinder) - out it came after about 20 seconds. Did require removing exhaust.
  24. I think you have carb issues - the scoring may not be all that bad. When storing a 2 stroke machine for more than 3 months I go over to some rough ground, start the machine, then with it running, open the fuel cap and pour the fuel mix onto the gravel etc, or a jug if you're eco, then rev the guts out of it till it stops. This way you are not left with stale ethanol fuel in the carb to gum up all the bits I know nothing about. BTW I've had mixed results trying to revive carbs with carb kits. Often end up hunting for a chinese copy carb and changing it out, or even a new genuine Stihl carb off ebay if its cheap. By tipping the fuel out after long term storage you still have remains of gakky fuel in the lines and carb. My protocol is for a tightwad who won't pay for alkylate mix. There's usually enough breeze to take the fumes away. And I'd hate to have spent all that money then get prostate cancer
  25. Both are decent bits of kit. From what a lot of climbers say, the SAKA feels a bit smoother and lighter, and it’s easy to tweak the bungee so it sits right, while the HAAS tends to give you that longer ‘big step’ feel and is pretty bomb-proof. If you’re already used to 30" of travel on the HAAS you might miss that with the SAKA, but most people seem to find it more efficient over a full day. I’d pick based on which set-up fits your rope diameter and how you like to stand in the harness rather than the spec sheet.
