I thought the same when I tried the motorway diving thing but the light never went out. This worked though, with the tool you can see the soot levels in the dpf before and after the regen. It doesn't always work from what I read at the time but it certainly worked for me. Sounds like the option of getting yours cleaned is far simpler. I couldn't do that with mine and I think a new dpf was around £800-1000 ish.

It could be worth seeing if a local garage will do a forced regen. I had a Renault years ago that wouldn't regenerate the dpf no matter what additives I tried and loads of motorway miles. I ended up buying a diagnostic tool that you plugged into the car and and worked it through a laptop, you can probably do it with a smart phone nowadays. It has loads of things including the option to force a regen of the dpf. It took about an hour but it worked. It cost about £150 iirc which was a lot cheaper than a new dpf.

Not very hidden agenda to get more and more state bale outs...

Forget the foraging for berries and wood. Boris said if I buy a kettle I can save £10 a year! I've just ordered 5,000 kettles, by this time next year I can retire. Down there for dancin.. -
I'll reply in the covid thread when I get a chance as I guess the vast majority of people reading this aren't interested and it is just ruining the thread.

Go and read the article you posted it's been updated. All the info is there. Stalking the same article says she's been banned. It's not breaking news, it's news from two years ago. Btw I'm not defending anything, I'm just pointing out fake news/ misinformation.

A quick Google shows that there is a crucial bit of info that TracyK2017 from Twitter (now banned from Twitter) failed to acknowledge which completely twists the advice. Surprise surprise.

Would have been fitting with today's news but alas no.

They need to draft in the old bloke with a small hammer.

Plenty of good advice on here. If you haven't done something like this before I suggest that if you get the job, at the very start get your level and get the customer to agree that it's correct. Because, no one has ever, in the history of hedge topping, got to the end of the job only for the customer turn around and say that it needs another 6 inches taking off!

Shirley you have noticed the increase of the quality of your water and electricity since it was privatised?

The U.S.military budget is more than 30 times that of NASA's. IMO space exploration is definitely not a waste. The technological advances from space technology also filter down to the consumer level, along with military advances too so there are other advantages to the mahoosive spending. I might not have explained that very well but I imagine most people get the gist. At least it keeps a lot of people in work if nothing else.

Well the rocket launch didn't really go according to plan!

Hopefully there won't be any more delays as you say it has been a long time coming.

Cracking pics as always Mr H. I hope you foraged some of those oyster mushrooms. -
Sounds like its nearly as bad as Japanese knotweed!

It's forest green, do you have a problem with that.

Although i do agree with that to a point some peoles opinions are far more valuable than the opinion of others. For example, I will give eggs opinion on how to install a water pump/supply far more weight than say your opinion. If your opinion is down right garbage then theres no problem whatsoever in calling it out. Opinions only have value if they can be backed up with proven repeated, I was going to say science but I know a lot of people are scared of that word so maybe proven experience will do. Unless someone is asking you what your favorite colour is, in that case yeah, you can respect and value their opinion. IMO of course.

Just out of interest how much fuel do these generators use?

Short answer is no, it isn't safe to work in close proximity to live electric cables.

China may be making some news later on today.

The world's top two polluting counties feel the need to have a bun fight. It doesn't look like global environmental problems are high on their list of things to sort out.

That was the issue a guy I used to sub to had when he went down the route of trailing this type of thing. He thought people would look after the kit better if it was classed as theirs and received a bit of extra pay. They didn't and just ran substandard machines. I guess from a HS view its not a good idea.

This is where a written quote can help. I know a lot of people prefer to give verbale quotes but if the job doesn't seem to be straight forward at the quoting stage ie the customer doesn't seem to understand any limitations or they seem a bit too fussy changing their mind etc then you could always give a written quote once they have accepted the job. I suppose in the grand scheme of things non paying customers make up practically 0% of all works so it's probably not worth worrying about really, except on principal.

What does the bank do with the extra £100? Who gets it? Or is that a metaphor? I have no clue as to how any of it works. I just thought the price of stuff goes up because of things like shipping cost increase (which I hear has been ruthless lately) energy costs which effect more or less everything and tax increases.

Do Not send your lads out Monday and Tuesday.

I do like a can or two of 'do as you're told' but I've never tried the unfiltered version. Beer of choice atm for me is old crafty hen.
