  1. Good point! But don't get it working and then forget about changing the oil and filter! When was the engine oil and filter changed ? Maybe a full service is in order ?
  2. If the oil and filter have not been changed for 3 years CHANGE THEM!!!! Oil, filters and grease are by far the cheapest mechanics I know!!
  3. I disagree! The unions handed all our manufacturing to the far east ! Thatcher saved what she could !
  4. Stale bread and rancid butter!, but it pays the bills!
  5. Change oil and filter!! Check belt tension on pump!
  6. Remember my story about the boiler man and the spiders, Ed? I like spiders and never knowingly kill any!
  7. I love spiders they eat fly's, which has to be a good thing! We get some whoppers!, I picked one up the other day and I opened a the end of my fist up to let the Kidd's see it and it was so strong I could feel it trying to push my hand open! I was amazed!
  8. I think some people are taking about "bollards" which have to be "strapped" tight to the tree, while others are taking about portaraps/flying capstan that can be fixed with a sling.
  9. Scum!! I would take legal action to get my money, I would not WANT to supply them again, and I would do all I could to publicize how they treat their suppliers!
  10. LONG tail backs! you saying Rupe's slow
  11. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! your such a softy at heart Dean!
  12. Yes, but tell them your day rate! Give them a price for the job, do it in half the time of the "have ago's"! You win, the punter wins, every body is happy!
  13. I know what your saying! I think its difficult, on here, to get to know people well, but as you say we understand one another a little better now
  14. Not the way I chose to look at life. But maybe thats why I didn't find I wanted to continue to grow my business.
  15. Are we talking flying capstan here or bollard type ?
  16. I had to put that mate or I would get ripped to shreds! even though what I wrote is true
