Hi all it been like this for years world wide it only in the uk they have got away with it and that's what I'm told from Stihl uk so I think we all have to move on from it thanks Jon

 

Funny how I managed to get a load of OEM parts from Germany then...

out of interest have they tried this policy in the US yet or is it just us brits

 

Not that I am aware of. I suspect the market share is so much larger that the shear number of dealers precludes this from happening, at least I hope it does not:sneaky2:

We buy more Online in this country than anywhere else in the world. Which is probably a lot to do with congested roads, high fuel prices and difficult parking.

Here's a prediction, in 10 years stihl will have a reputation as a domestic / semi pro manufacturer, others will have taken their place as the professionals choice. And at the end of the day who can blame them!

 

I'll bet the semi pro market is worth way more than the fixit yourself pro market.

Like I say, in 10 years we'll all be using dolmars or huskys and stihl will be oing a roaring trade selling garden blowers, hedge trimmers and light saws to landscapers and the more adventurous gardener.

 

I Agree, modern stihl stuff is crap, all the stuff I have bought this year is husky.

 

I am now using Husky for saws and Echo for everything else.
