  2. he used the office of President to promote the coin The venture has faced widespread condemnation from ethics experts for Donald Trump's conflicts of interest related to the project and his presidential duties. During the second Trump administration, Trump has promoted $Trump and taken actions that have raised the value of the meme coin, contributing to a substantial increase in his net worth.[3]
  3. I still don't get it. To seize an engine, it needs to be run up to max revs and put under load for a fair time so the piston can effectively melt on to the cylinder and it would still need old fuel, an air leak, bad carb settings or straight fuel. Let's see the parts and go from there. It is possible that carbon has caused the issue but can't see how kit can go from ending the season in prime condition to losing all compression on running it up much later. Rings can get gummed up and that can cause compression loss but have usually experienced the old oil coating in the bore giving the engine excessive compression after being left for a long period but no bore damage. Done enough MS200Ts left for years thinking they had good compression until the old oil burns off.
  4. Sorry, only just seen this! On the ground so far, working through my tickets, dragging, cutting and rigging, and running the log grabs etc. Crane job was a particular highlight so far!

  6. Yep was near Huntly, but bailed out with all the shit from SSEN pylons and substations which is not needed. They wanted to put pylons on our fields, no asking, just slam dunk there you are. British and Scottish government along with SSEN are screwing up Scotland nicely, England and Wales are doing the same just a few years behind, Sorry to be bitter but we are damaged after the last few years.

    New Hilux.

    Just realised you meant truck! What a dullard! It is a 2.8ltr four banger. I am told it was this years m9del and registered before the changes in tax code etc! Used another tank today and got 21.4mpg. Bit leery at times, especially on a wet, diesel soaked roundabout! Wheel spin and opposite lock. Comfortable enough but oddly, has a stepped gear shift and a manual hand brake. Automatic headlights but not wipers and the lane advisor is nasty!

  10. I know you fud, I was just messing. That’s actually a pretty nifty technique.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

  17. Another vote for the Milwaukee here.
  18. Looking on ebay theres some eliet prof shredders if its for hedge waste etc also
  19. That’s the best compliment I’ve ever had! 😂😎
  20. 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!
  21. 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

  26. 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.
