I had one of the first auto boxes in a Disco 1, 273,000 faultless miles. Sold a Disco 2 TD5 last year, another 262,000 faultless miles. Currently run an 03 plate Defender, new Discos seem to be money pits, RR are out of the question but the fault hardly looks major and they are taking action to rectify. A

Love to see pics of that when its milled. A

Its usually tax deductable, so get the taxman to pay a good slice of it !!. A

340C is pretty hot for any stove, thats way into the To Hot area of a stove temp gauge. Are you sure you dont mean 340 F, thats more likely I would have thought, thats centeral on the Best Operation scale. If you stove is a contempory model then the top may not get as hot as the sides and flue pipe, I have one of these live in my showroom: Morsø 7940 - Morsø Making Life Warmer The temp on the top is only half that of the sides, as a result I use an Ecofan Bel Air, The Ecofan 806 BelAir is designed specifically for use on the lower stovetop surface temperatures found on many Gas, Pellet or Contemporary Stoves. The Bel Air is designed for low temp tops such as contemporary stoves and gas stoves. The tops on these stoves just sit on the stove and are only in point contact hence poor heat transmission to them. If however you have a normal stove with a top that is welded on then put your temp gauge onto the top and see if that varies from your flue pipe temp. If it does not then the Ecofan has a 2 year warranty, take it up with the fan supplier, suspect a new motor might be needed. A

Forget newspapers, people read them today and they are chip paper tomorrow. Find your local free issue magazine, locally I use these: The Village Emporium The Village Emporium - community magazines in Warks & Northants Comes out 4 ( or 6?) times a year, costs under 200 quid an issue to advertise in all 3 versions, thats 30,000 magazines, all hand delivered to potential customers. They will also run features on me from time to time if I want to promote something. They tend to be distributed in the wealthier areas which is better for you. The area they dont cover I use other similar directories. A

I have an ASH stick, about 32 - 34 inches diameter. Perfectly straight and parallel for about 9 feet. Storm blown tree, got some heart rot in the lower part. Was thinking of milling it for mantle pieces to sell in the stove showroom when dry. How does Ash mill, is it likely to split?. A

Its not straight through the hand of a stock, needs straight grain there for a recoil, lovely to look at though. A

West Highland terrier, good nose, lovely with kids, independent and sharp as a needle. In the rodent killing area nothing beats a good farm cat. Mine catches Moles, a hare and even an odd pheasant poult. How the hell he caught a hare god knows, I found its head and ears in the garden !!. A

You will need to be an RHI approved firewood supplier to enable the customer to claim RHI. That looks pretty straight forward, just a matter of cost and annual audit costs. As regards the supply IMHO a decent splitter is your best option and billet bundle it. A

Link does not work for me.

Husky blamed the inferior oil when my 560 seized up. It was Sthil Red sold to me by the dealer for use with the saw when i bought it. Certainly since its been back the Husky is a lovely saw. A

Correct, put another one wherever you feel you need one, cant have to many. A

I use a 2008 6.25 most days, good bit of kit, easy to drive and use. However trying to get at anything to service it is a pain. After a fuel filter change it usually objects by running rough when cold for a week or so. Had been using an old JD4400 before that and still do occasionally, the Manitou is more instinctive to drive. A

Bosch and Varta batteries are made on the same production line. In my 40 odd years in the heavy goods game their Silver Calcium batteries were top drawer. I used to supply all the Fire Services, their batteries are constantly on charge, driver approaches cab, pulls out charge plug and leaps in. All other batteries would not stand this constant charging. Fire engine with a dead battery is not a lot of good. A

Pop, Horse Chesnut, etc A

How do you sell your logs. A, Hardwood and Softwood separated. B, As A but lower grade hardwood separated and sold at a lower price. C, Mixed wood. A

Sounds like its joinery waste. A

Check the combustible clearance from the outside of the flue pipe with the flue manufacturer ( Stovax) or the company you bought it from, if it was Poujoulat ( which it isn't it) it looks a bit close, its one of the things whoever is signing it off will check. You should be able to get a cover plate to fix to the pipe to cover the air gap around the pipe on the inside, it will need to be elliptical as your roof slopes. Just tidies it up. The window frame is maybe a shade close, minimum combustible clearance above the stove from memory is 375 mm as it is from the flue pipe if 125mm, a 150mm flue outlet pipe requires 450mm of clearance as nifty steve advised. Ecoburn Plus 11 is a good stove, we are installing one next week, did a Plus 9 today. A

Locked into a British Rail Calico packing case. This was a collapsable wooden box about the size of a Europallet often used to ship gasket sets in my motor trade days. A

Looking for completed items ready for retail sale. A

To retail them. A

Is there anyone here who makes the above and sells to the trade?, Sort of thing I am looking for is here: mkwoodcrafts.com > Home Dont sell many though. A

The effectiveness depends on your ceiling height and room lay out. Hot air rises, the room is heated from the ceiling downwards. Those without a fan stand on a chair when the stove has been running for a few hours, you will be surprised how hot it is up there. The fans push the heat out about another 20 feet and increase the temp at head height by 4 deg C ( 10 deg F), a significant improvement. The Ecofan 2 blade is the best unit on the market and I have tested most. Generally I send them out on a sale or return basis, 80% plus stop sold. Be aware that some tall contempory stoves have tops which just sit on top of the stove, (models such as the Morso S10 and 7940 series ) as such the tops are only in point contact with the stove and the temperature they reach is about half that on the sides. For an effective fan on those stoves the Ecofan 806 is the fan to go for. If your top is fixed to the sides as per a traditional stove then use the standard fans EF810 and EF812. Unless you are on a budget dont waste your money on the old Ef800 reintroduced to have a go at the copies, its far less efficient. http://www.ecofan.co.uk/woodstove-ecofans.html A
