Waste of good money, and Yell.com is just as bad. I also tried advertising for 3 months with Google ad words, analysing the results over a 3 month period is was costing me £12 every time someone clicked through onto my website. I am on p1 of google anyway in my area/field, the add simply put me at number 1. Another waste of money. Parish type magazines I find quite good. A

You would have thought that the seller would have checked that through and sorted any issues arising, the TER stickers are no exactly small. Dont blame you for walking away. A

Whole new lingo automotive wise over there, years ago I worked selling car parts to guys from the local USAF base. I want a muffler for my Bug = I want a silencer box for my VW Beetle was one of the easier ones to translate. A

Using 1m log bags I just get two onto an 8 foot x 5 foot GD85 twin axle. Trailer is plated at 2700. I would estimate a cubic meter of 20% soft to weight 250kg, so weight wise you might be ok with two but volume wise you will struggle to get 2 cube onto it. I do stand to be corrected by someone with a trailer of the same size. A

The new Charwood Quttro control runs all the air supplies. Wood does indeed burn from the top down, you only want air coming in above it once the stove is up and running. Smokeless fuel on the other hand burns from the bottom up and wants more oxygen than wood. Therefore keep the top air supply fully open and leave it that way, control the stove using the sir coming in under that grate. Leave 15mm or so of ash on the grate each morning when burning wood, that protects the grate. If burning solid fuel remove all the ash on the grate. Empty the ash when the can is half full, most stoves thats daily but some of the new generation woodburners can go for 2 or 3 days. A

<p>Hi Bob,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have had what I think is a spam e mail apparently from you saying you have been robbed in Portugal or similar and can you borrow 1800 euros.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have had this type of spam before, the reply to e mail address has a zero in it as opposed to a o as in bloke.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure if you e mail act has therefore been hacked. Have not deleted the mail yet in case you want me to send it on to you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please advise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

i am a Morso Uk Center of Excellence, if you want parts lists then pm me. Joints on Morso's are usually sealed with the same rope as goes around the door, this is available by the meter. It is a special soft rope, industry standard rope will NOT interchange. As regards a full strip down, or not, I would replace the rope around the door, the rope under the glass and she how she runs. If your secondary air control is having little effect then air is entering the stove somewhere and a full strip may be needed. However this is pretty unusual. A

I use Retail Merchant Services, money in your act in 4 days. Been using them for about 6 months, all ok so far. PM me for details. A

As an Esse cooker dealer I (and Esse) consider it vital to install a Laddomat or the boiler control unit from Esse which does pretty much the same thing. Not fitting one does not allow the firebox to get hot enough to ignite the creosote given off by all woods, this then gets into the flue ways where it condenses and lines the cooker flue ways and the flue with tar which of course is combustible. The W23 has from memory around 17kw max of heat to the water, its was replaced by the W35 with bigger boiler at least 5 years ago. I am not a plumber so cant really comment on the plumbing aspects of the job, however 200L is not a big tank as a bulk energy store. The one I saw in the Esse training school recently linked up to a 990 CHQ cooker is I would think twice that size. A

Remember when your kids had wooden bricks with the alphabet on them ?, remember when you stacked them away they made a distinct CLACK when you touched them together, thats what you are listening for. If you get a dull thud then its to wet. A

I would have thought that the phone call could be traced these days by the authorities. The problem is there is no hard evidence that would stand up in court, just your word against an accused. No way that would ever get to court. Some sort of recording device on the phone, then repeat but 5 houses at a time. Record the following phone call, that should be enough to get the perpetrator at least fined/bound over to keep the peace. A

You could try Past Parts over near Bury St Edmunds., Nigel Wigg used to be the guy to talk to. Specialist Remanufacturing Facility JCB used to use mineral based fluid systems, these are pretty expensive as they tend to be exclusive. Also used on Rolls, Bentley and the likes. A

Most older tractors ( Ford + MF at least) tend to have a pull out engine stop, tie a rope to it. Not immediate blade stop but pretty fast. A

[ I do, I used to mod and admin another site. Spent hours and hours usually sorting out squabbles. A

The eyes on the Baker bags are bigger than the Bag Supplies bags. Bags are also slightly different in size so dont stack nicely when mixed. Personally I prefer the Baker bags. A

Mine 560XP ran like crap when hot and would not start when warm. In the end the engine siezed, this was after 20 hours. Having had it repaired under warranty it now runs very sweetly indeed, hot starts even when running out of fuel are no choke first pull. Just hope it holds up, A

Suggest in that case that one of the mods rattles the offenders cage a bit, that is at best sharp practise and has no place here. A

woodsure?. Woodsure Helen is the lady. Have looked at it myself, specs are max moist 25% which is far to high IMHO. Had it been 20% I might have joined. A

Was not aware of that potential issue, thanks for the heads up. However any logs likely to be imported by members here with be from within the EU and be kiln dried. Logs from EU member states are exempt from import disease control from what I can understand but being kiln dried I would have thought the major benefit of the kilning process providing its properly carried out is that any pests within the logs are killed. Thats of course where we came in, with crap wet mouldy logs. A

It might be, Husky blamed it for a seizure on my 560XP after 20 hours. They advise using their synthetic additive. I now use my red Sthil additive as diesel additive in my old MF 135, the new diesel formulations have no sulphur for lubrication, plays hell with the injection pump. A

There are standards around, the REA have one I think, certainly Hetas do but its not to hot. As for unit of sale, you must sell by volume not weight, cubic meter bags which when properly full with the sides expanded hold around 1.2cu when filled. You then get a bit of shrinkage in the bag as it dries. A
