  1. I'm not sure those have been fined thousands would agree with you.
  2. You just need the crab to be captive, so it can't move round to a position where it will be levering the attachment if shock loaded by a fall. (this is only on mark 1's)
  3. :confused1:What difference does it make?????????
  4. I'm still on my mark 1 and loving it
  5. Really sorry to hear this, but please don't give up Rich, a positive attitude is very important!! I've heard some incredible stories of people making remarkable recoveries, stay positive and kick up a stink for the best treatment!!! Really hope things work out for you!!
  6. Do you mean a second tie in when cutting?? as with DRT that is required for SRT.
  7. Sadly I have not found this to be the case
  8. Its like when your aboard and can't speak the language, shouting doesn't help
  9. Our system is certainly the worst system…………………except for all the other systems, much like democracy I guess.
  10. If this is true, can you explain to me why they buy government bonds?????
  11. I'm not sure anyone who pollutes their coffee with milk or sugar is qualified to comment on its quality. Its got to be black and to strong, once its to strong it looses the more subtle aspects of its flavour. I believe the Espresso is the building block of all coffee's, IE add hot milk for a Latte, hot water for an Americano, etc,etc.
  12. Looks ideal for our tight streets and narrow drives
  13. Because he can charge the RRP or pretty near, as those around him cannot buy cheaper on-line.
  14. Its only one year for pro users I believe and build quality issues are not covered, in fact most problems will be blamed on you and you'll end up paying.
  15. Last time, before Xmas, I used the insurance money to buy the 540, I was pleased with it at first, but hate it now
  16. They are a major step down, IMO, the 540 has the power, but its made from plasticine, mine is 6 months old, the fuel tank is leaking, the side cover fits poorly, the chain tensioner is poor, the rear av spring is shot and the top handle is folding where the switches and trigger are. Mine also runs poorly, cutting out when hung on the harness and often cutting out for no reason. OK the the 201 lacks power, but IMO is better built than the 540 (I had a 201 for 6 months or so before it was stolen) I have just bought another 201, I can accommodate the lack of power, adjusting my cutting methods accordingly. I just need a saw thats predictable and will at least hold together.
  17. Got to agree, I bought a new 201 on friday, my 6 month old 540 is falling apart
  18. I now despise my 540. OK when running it cuts well will great power, however it cuts out for no reason, stalls when hung on the harness, runs out of fuel at certain angles when the tank is half empty. And I used to think it was plasticy, but I now realise its actually made of plasticine Mine in only 6 months old and is already in worse condition than the 201 Reg ran over, if you accidentally stud heavily on a 540 there would be very little left.
