I guess google don't rate them, won't be the first time it's been wrong, or the last. It passed, that's all that matters.

oh dear!! Electrical & Other Issues: Electrical Problems: The Relay van is known for electrical problems, potentially stemming from the fact that the body and electrics are manufactured by Fiat. good luck.

MOT inspection manual: cars and passenger vehicles - 4. Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment - Guidance - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Headlamp, position lamps, daytime running lamps, stop lamps, indicators, hazard...

sorry I missed that bit, looks like you been through it pretty thoroughly, can you jury rig a reverse lamp using the lights[or one of them] and a bit of temporary wiring, get the ticket and investigate after, vehicle construction and use regs state if a light is fitted on a vehicle it must work, and post '09 reversing lights are mandatory.

thanks, I corrected my mistake.

what vehicle is it, are the reverse lights triggered by a hyd switch in the braking system, or an electrical switch, often located and operated by the brake pedal, either way find it and join the two wires momentarily together, if the lights come on its a faulty switch, if they don't or it blows a fuse, it's likely a wiring fault. post 2009 vehicles must have one working reversing lamp, you can wire directly to a switch and bypass the fault but you must have a visible warning light clearly seen from the driver seat. [not necessary if operated by engaging reverse]

no saw collectors then? somebody posted @shavey on another thread, is this the resident Dolmar fella, I got quite a few Dolmars too.

about time you had a tidy up in the kitchen!

I always wanted to play guitar, but alas with hands the size of a small digger bucket it was not to be, I can make it make noise,, but I wouldn't call it music by any stretch ! been a roadie in my teens, total disaster, right before a gig vocalist elopes to europe with a girlfriend, I knew most of the material so became the singer, two days before the gig, lead guitarist gets dumped by his girlfriend and hangs himself,, didn't feel very musical after that. But on a much brighter note some of the best times of my life have been in the company of Rory Gallagher.

do you use them?, crank 'em up now and again to give the neighbors the benefits of them? If they were the amp Rory chose,, that good enough.

wow, your insurance company are bending you over seriously. sorry cant help directly but you need to do some serious searching various brokers, sources of insurance. over 400% increase is taking the piss! hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to discover a more reasonable quote.

I'm afraid not.. but if I ever find one, I'll swap it for a McCulloch 125

Are there any collectors here that would like to start a conversation about your latest project, or a search for a rare part, or simply just chat to other like minded saw collectors and users of older equipment. or maybe even swap a few tips to others. On the bench currently I have a couple of Pioneers, 3 Stihs, and should be getting a Remington Logmaster on Monday hopefully. that brings the total to around 50, but I got more space so always room for another

@ Treehelp81 I'll ask you directly,as I'm curious, what made you choose this forum for advice? and while it's a little difficult to assess from such a distance, you may find this helpful. although I would refer to a fellow countryman for a more accurate opinion. A blackening at the base of an oak tree can be caused by several factors, including fungal infections like Phytophthora rot or Armillaria root rot, or even a build-up of sooty mold due to insect activity. Acute oak decline can also cause bleeding lesions and stem rot. Here's a more detailed look: 1. Phytophthora Rot: This fungal disease often causes black staining on the trunk and can lead to tree dieback. Trees weakened by drought or injury are more susceptible. 2. Acute Oak Decline: This disease manifests as black, fluid-filled lesions on the stem, caused by a combination of bacteria. 3. Armillaria Root Rot: While the damage is mostly below ground, signs like dieback and mushrooms at the base can indicate this disease. Thick, black fungal strands might also be visible. 4. Sooty Mold: Aphids and other insects can secrete honeydew, which then allows sooty mold to grow, creating a black appearance on the tree. 5. Other Fungal Infections: Various other fungi can also cause blackening or discoloration of the bark. What to do: Consult an arborist: If you're concerned about the health of your oak tree, it's best to consult with a certified arborist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Improve air circulation: Pruning infected branches and removing debris can help improve air circulation and reduce fungal growth. Consider fungicides: In some cases, fungicides can be effective, especially if cultural methods aren't sufficient. Be cautious with fertilizers: Avoid fertilizing, as some fungi thrive on nitrogen. Address insect infestations: If sooty mold is present due to insects, you may need to treat the tree for the insects. this is from a quick google search.

Seriously!!!,, where did I insult the op? my comment was questioning why this forum was chosen, there are some very knowledgeable aborists/tree experts in the US. as for the rest ,, well you got some neck considering you insult the potus at every opportunity. its possible that may upset the op more than anything I said here.

A duck walks into a bar and orders a beer and a sandwich. The bar tender says "but you're a duck". The duck says "I see your eyes work OK". The bar tender says "and you can talk too". The duck says " and your ears work fine also, could I please have a beer and a sandwich". The bar tender says "where did you come from?" The duck says "I'm working on the building site across the road". So the bar tender gets the duck a beer and a sandwich, and the duck pays him. This goes on every lunch time for a few weeks. One day a circus comes to town and the ringmaster drops in to the bar for a drink. The bar tender says "you're from the circus aren't you?” "Yes I am" says the ringmaster. "Would you be interested in a duck that can talk?" "Talk?" "Yes, talk. Perfect English". "Well I sure would be if it's true" says the ringmaster. Next day the duck comes in and orders a beer and a sandwich as usual. The barman says to the duck "how would like a job at the circus? Great pay and lifestyle" "The circus?" asks the duck. "With the great big canvas 'big-top'. And the animals in cages?" "Yes" says the bartender. The duck replies "what the f*ck would the circus want with a plasterer?"

you sure,, that's a feckin' long way in a punctured rubber boat, and the hotels and benefits are shite.

sorry to hear about your kid.

A chicken farmer went to a local bar, sat next to a woman and ordered a glass of champagne. The woman perked up and said, 'How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!' 'What a coincidence' the farmer said. 'This is a special day for me. I am celebrating.' This is a special day for me too, I am also celebrating,' said the woman.' 'What a coincidence!' said the farmer. As they clinked glasses he added, 'What are you celebrating?' 'My husband and I have been trying to have a child and today my Gynecologist told me that I am pregnant!' 'What a coincidence!' said the man. 'I'm a chicken farmer and for years all of my hens were infertile, but today they are all laying fertilized eggs.' 'That's great!' said the woman, 'How did your chickens become fertile?' 'I used a different cock,' he replied. The woman smiled, clinked his glass and said, 'What a coincidence!'

A labour voter knocks the door of a brothel A woman answers and asks what he wants The labour man asks what can I get for £1.50p The lady says go have a wank 3 minutes later the labour man returned and knocked the door again The Same lady answers and says what now The labour man says,, WHO DO I PAY?
