    I don't see the problem, OL is not a problem anyway, it just ensures the vehicle is well maintained ??? I think tachometer and license restrictions are so uneccessary
  2. Dean Lofthouse
    The answer is as mark said, a new classification of 4.5 t vehicle and sorting out all the red tape to allow them to be driven on a normal licence

    Sorry should have said, if the voltage is still there at the original solenoid lead when the engine dies then it's not electrical and must be fuel
  4. Dean Lofthouse
    Yes it does

    Just read back through: This could be anything electrical or fuel,more info is needed. A diesel wouldn't necessarily splutter when starting back up if it was fuel vacuum either. The easy way to tell whether it is an electrical fault is to first check whether or not the supply to the fuel solenoid is 12v . Switch the ignition on and disconnect the lead and check with a meter. If it is put a connect straight to the solenoid from the battery and start the car, but leave the meter connected to the original lead to the solenoid and keep an eye on the meter when the engine dies again, if the voltage is still there then it's not electrical. That then just leave the solenoid or a fuel problem

    I am going to non eom labelled parts but manufactured by mahle, the saw has its original cylinder and has the manufacturers stamp, which co-incidentally is Mahle

    I would say those symptoms are fuel vacuuming, the fuel is being used faster than it can be supplied. That cause can be a number of things, fuel filter blocked, fuel solonoid partially opening, fuel line flattened or collapsed on the inner lining etc etc. start at the tank and work forward

    I've just put a meter on my 300tdi solonoid and it's a 12v supply

    It also helps if you cut with the back end of the bar, in other words, star the cut then keep the tip in the same position and work round so that the chain is throwing debris out. If you work the tip of the bar, you are pulling debris into the cut. If you work the back end of the bar and cut slowly, the shavings throw off and dislodge a lot of the debris before the chain gets to it

    This old chap was 19 year old at the time and watched a lot of his comrades die.

    An elderly gentlemen was very upset today, he was fed up with all this mention every day of the Titanic. It turns out, this guy was on the Lancastria, sunk when it was evacuating British troops from France in 1940. Reports say the ship was laden with around 9000 troops trying to escape the German advances. The ship was bombed whilst anchored around 3 miles off shore whilst still taking on evacuees, the damage sustained was so bad it sank in fifteen minutes, whilst people were in the water, the German pilots machine gunned them, around 4000 people died in horrific circumstances. This event gets very little coverage if any, no wonder the old boy is upset. Full story BBC - WW2 People's War - The Sinking of the Lancastria?1940

    I see,d one today but it was only a baby one, they asked me if it harmed the tree, simple answer was it didn't matter, the tree was already past it's sell by date, bark flaking off all round the base and stag horned "Oh, Would the big diesel spill that we had have caused it" was their reply
  14. Dean Lofthouse

    Slightly, I have 12 saws and 3 are husqys I,ve got a 357, 365 and a big one with a 30 bar that I can't be bothered to look at the model number

    I used to do the same with the smaller bags but now I have two wooden ramps, I tip the back up a bit then slide the bag down the ramps to the deck, most of the time you can reverse up to the garage and slide the bags straight into the garage. Most of my deliveries need a bit of manual handling to get the bags out the way and I couldn't do that with bigger bags I would consider them just to store logs in so I know what I have in stock cubic metre wise
  22. Dean Lofthouse
    Cheers Stubby, mine is the special, I have the top of it and the cylinder is only very slightly scored, I could probably get away with a light hone and a new piston, but I want it to have a little more "grunt".
  23. Dean Lofthouse
    How do you deliver the 1m3 bags Ian, just tip them off?
  24. Dean Lofthouse
    Btw Tom, before you order gazillions of them, if you are planning on storing fresh cut logs in them I would buy a few first and experiment to see if they sweat and go mouldy first
  25. Dean Lofthouse
    I've always used 80x80 because they are just about handlable when delivering
