  1. Try the TW tech spot on this forum?
  2. If it is mainly woody waste from hedges etc, try GreenMech Combi 200, petrolatum but diesel Tier5 once the program is sorted...
  3. The Returnees have appeared in North Nottinghamshire at my partners spot! They were first seem last week! Skylarks in the fields too...
  4. 1st pic is grey fergie tractor!
  5. Bigger diesels with DPF etc require good quality fuel, quality service items and intervals by the book. Which some people struggle with. I get what you are saying Mick, and do agree. But we can only fit what is available and suits the package.
  6. Unfortunately, if you want to buy a Tier 5 diesel, in a sub 750kg unit, it will not be quite as good as its predecessor. Close, but not quite...... Accept that they are here to stay and designed to be better for the environment. Adjust you prices slightly to accommodate a slightly slower process and get on with your life. It will take time to adjust, but, you will, as will everyone else in time who has a similar unit!
  7. The Tier 5 thing and engine hp has been covered ad nauseum in other threads. Unfortunately, the 25hp diesel is not as good as the 35hp version. But that is what we have to play with going forwards....
  8. You only crowing over a switcheroo! Stop hijacking a decent thread....
  9. No interest in looking at GreenMech?
  10. I read a short bit of the Afed stuff, but got lost in make-believe....twisted diatribe in the main part tonatteack the feeble minded into thinking that the author is clever and 'banging their drum!'
  11. There is a specific technical section in the forum and TW do have their own section. You could posting there too?
  12. Has the trailer got LED lights? My Ranger flashes double speed to notify a fault, but the lights on the outside are working as they should. They don't 'recognise' the LED units!
  13. Screw involved anywhere?
  14. Wouldn't have happened without the screw thread though would it?
  15. How about the screw thread! The invention if the screw thread lead to screws, bolts, nuts and they have held everything together allowing manufacturing to start a build the things that we use in every way today! In peace, love and war, for good things and bad, in food production and waste extraction, in the production of beer and PG Tips too! Many different sizes and strengths, left hand and right, to keep things together and hold them apart.
  16. Down to 190 miles before no start. That is in two weeks driving, so about 2k miles I think. Pish poor! Had it down to 14.7 mpg not long back too!
  17. I wished had lead such an exciting life to post stories here, but, I know I haven't, so will just stick to my comfort zone and say little!
  18. Sorry, I did read that after I posted and thought 'twat, asking a question and also to stop the derail! Where are you to on your travels Paul?
  19. Has booze harmed my finances? Define please. When I drink at home, do I have mood swings and does my partner/kids have to adapt to them? Define drunk please? Do I deny that I may occasionally have a propensity to drink? Nope, I'd rather drink wine than tea of an evening but not always.... I will not deny that to some, drink is evil. I will not deny that to some is harmful to their health and ultimately those around them. I will not deny that alcoholic addiction change financially ruinous. But then, life has a habit of doing the above without alcohol being involved too. I tend to look at things in spectrums although I also hate labels as a reason or excuse too. At one end of the range is the sort of person who is lucky enough to get through life in total, world,happiness. The other has the complete scumbags who are, or should be, locked away to protect society. There are those who are unable to do things because of physical or mental issues and those who reach extreme old age in a very good physical condition. There are people who unfortunately have a short life through accident and scum who live a long life when others would,d rather they didnt. I agree that alcohol can be harmful but to some folk, apart from money and extra weight, it isn't.....Let's agree to go follow our paths without rancour and not derail Paul's thread further. Best wishes to you Paul.
  20. Hmmm. ...... Nope. Apart from my offspring who will have to manage on what ever is left in the will after I passed it up the wall enjoying myself! No blood spilled, no lost relationship due to drink, work has been done correctly, kids doing well enough etc etc.... Oh, BTW. I had a crap bottle of Shiraz last night and nowt since last Saturday.
  21. I think that some people are susceptible to mental health issues, it is bred into them....and alcohol is something that can be a trigger to 'awkward ' behavior. Like you, I have had periods in my life where I have drunk a fair bit, both at home and in the pub, but it has not harmed me in any way except made me poorer! I know someone who talks such bullshine sober, it amazes me and when they have a drink they are away with the fairies and the odd person who seems to get aggressive after a few too! I think that a lot of people nowadays do like to have a 'label', or belong to a group, maybe even to have a excuse for their behaviour so align themselves within a spectrum. In the past, they may have been pushed into an industry where they had been able to 'hide or be hidden' from life by the work or their co-workers and got on with life.....but now, we have a whole section of the health industry making big dollar to pidgeon hole people, find a reason, blame or excuse folk for their oddities and that is where the thing sits!

    There is a technical help section under the 'Forum' last which has a link to TW. Try posting in there and give them a chance to respond going forwards.
  23. Have asked and the garage will consult Ford again. 60ltrs in 10k miles seems excessive to me now. So does 15mpg on a tank...
  24. Possibly a trick question but also thought provoking. In you opinion, what is possibly the best thing invented that has changed so much? In my opinion, in comes in many different sizes, different patterns, ambidextrous and strengths. Useful in Peace, Love and War,
  25. It is, but not yet. We had such a run of success with the old Tier 3a engine in 200 and 165, we sold out some 6 months ahead.
