  1. Thought this might be relevant with the odd few threads on insurance. Will prob just die of death though like the first time around!
  2. Doesnt sound like nice neighbour but then maybe he wasn't happy about someone building a house a few feet from his property then complaining about the trees. I would say its tough on the new neighbour tbh. Heard too many times people complain about neighbouring trees when they have only just moved into the property.
  3. Tbh if you are that bothered about wasted time and fuel why not just give him a decent sized saw from the start? I assume it's the same lad that nearly took his head off on the other thread.
  4. Well judging by your username a normal one might do him fine. Gadgets, all men like gadgets. I'm pinning all my hopes and dreams on this.Moller Skycar M400 - buy at Firebox.com
  5. He did, and did and it was worth it in the end.
  6. Would dirty,weak,worn injectors also cause white smoke?
  7. Whip the glow plugs out and test them with some jump leads. Well I say whip but not sure how easy they are to do on your engine but its always the first thing I check on poor starting diesels.
  8. Do many take chondroitin,glucosamine,MSM supplements at all? If so what do you think of them Ive been buying some and they aint cheap but do seem to help with a bit of joint pain I used to get in the wrist.
  9. I'd say its the lift pump as they can be damaged if they are pumped without being bled, well some of them anyway. If the engine isnt worn ie good compression, the injectors have a good pattern and dont leak and it runs well after its started then I would be replacing fuel pipes,clips and filters as it sounds like an air leak. Air leaks on diesels can cause loads of problems and be difficult to find, they dont always leak diesel out of them unfortunately.
  10. Ah right thought you had some nice new technique. TBH though fast cutting through really tensioned/compressed timber isnt something I do, I've seen enough stuff whip about,explode and generally move and do what it wants so its nice and steady with me on that one.
  11. Come on then man! I'm always willing to learn something new.
  12. If you are hardly going to use the chipper then I can see it working and financially its probably for the best. If you are going to be using it quite a bit then theres no way I would go halves plus surely if its getting used a lot it will be paying for itself fairly quickly. I would just by a good secondhand machine on my own rather than a brand new one and go halves. Hope it works out whatever you do.
  13. £60 to get to B&Q and back! Must cost your missus a fortune when you do a bit of DIY.
  14. Which type of can are you using? [ATTACH]52190[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]52191[/ATTACH] Not that I can help just wondering which is the best one to buy as I could do with a new one and the husky and oregon aint very good.
  15. I agree there. I think it is more to do with the injuries we pick up along the way rather than the age. Dont forget, your only as old as the woman you feel.
  16. Nope but thats why I can make an unbiased judgement. But I agree with what you say as thats what I said, they will not want you to go and will say that but it is the best thing for them.
  17. Yup sry I did. Yep visit a dealer in England and sort it out.
  18. Yeah I wouldnt listen to what children want as they are too selfish and unwise.
  19. What is shagged out gear though? A 2 year old machine that has NEVER been serviced or a 15 year old machine running on song? I see way too often people critising others for running old equipment, why is this? Does anyone really use shagged out equipment when its fairly cheap to buy decent stuff second hand?
  20. Is it cryptic clue night? I will instantly compress a piece of wood and you try to power through it while its compressed. I will win.
  21. Ermmmm severly slap the people that request a 999 for that type of injury:thumbdown: No offence but its an emergency service and that wasnt one! Hope it heals well though, does look painful.
  22. Best you explain it in detail please.
  23. Run a new saw like you stole it! I have a 46 and 66 that wont die and run bleedin great. No need to replace them with something newer and unknown!! Although as Mr Blair said a new saw does smell nice.
  24. Hows that work then? Nice1 in getting the tree down and dusted.
  25. 35+ and your down hill, just look at athletes. Doesnt mean you cant do the job though just at a different and more experienced pace Anyone tells you any different and they are just old kidding themselves.
