  1. I beg to differ chaps the daldinia is not the cause it's a symptom the tree is getting on a little as can be seen in the photos so yep dead wooding it needs and the ivy does need shifting agreed but this is a declining tree nearing retirement next to a road where cars probably travel at 50 mph I don't think some poor chap hitting some dead branch in the Middle of the road or though the windscreen would appreciate the fact that the tree was saved the axe.

  2. I've just a couple of dats ago fix the same problem.... But I don't know the cause :) but I can tell you that I

     

    Cleaned the air filter

    Emptied the fuel tank and blew it out with the air line

    Cleaned the fuel filter

    Stripped the carb off and mildly blew it clean

    Put carb setting back right after messing with them like a man possessed cause I had only took one Ms200 doh!

     

    Put it all back together and hey presto working again

     

    Good luck

  3. just started to do my own work on my own saws i guess this i this is the right place to ask ......

     

    A. Where do i get where do a get manuals from like for Haynes cars but you know for saws

     

    B. Where do i get parts from off tinternet

     

    c. Why are so many bloody screws... i always loose them

     

    d Where can i find cheap screws

  4. its a little hard to recommend much from the photos but here goes. if you can get yer hands on a tractor winch just rip the lot into the field live a far hinge and off she`ll go. if you've just got a turfer the yer limited cause cause of the speed. Take a little off the top so as it balanced and the turfer will do it but ....... give a gooooood set of signs either side set a man on each to stop the traffic for whence shes gonna pop.... oh i for got yep its goosed and why the inspector said to reduce is beyond me unless hes after a few year habitat

  5. I got memory map cost me 20 quid but I can load all my maps on it and not get lost up an hill . Still gritting my teeth a bit though seen as I paid £300 for a top notch hand held sat nav last year

  6. i can`t say nothing ive never had much luck with mowers either thats why they took me of the things 17 yrs ago but recently ive had to do a bit but ive wrote off a 4 grand tractor flail and i did this the other week

    thats a 45 deg angle down hill and i was on it ... nearly bloody killed myself wot a way to go "ARB LAD KILLED BY MOWER" . you can see it in the paper. so ive give the mowers some time off and doing some inspecting for a few months lol

  7. Cut all mine down cause they all jossed it in extactly the same way and I think probably the rest of the countries has as well cause I ain't seen many survive. seems to me there

    Must be a business opportunity there some where !

  8. Got a little drunk at weekend and thought I was Freddie mercury

    not seen it before but now it landed in salford it colonized a good number of ash in the area apparently its been around in outlying cities and tows for a short time. I got a bit worried at first when i seen it the lady was getting on a little and in tears because people had complained about the enormous amount of caterpillars and on seeing them i could understand. as luck would have it the trees were self seeds and pushing up the backyard so they got the chop she was well pleased glad it wasn't a tpo or conservation area.

     

    fact is ive red these little blighter's can be wiped out by a harsh frost at late in may or strong wind which we haven't really had his year. so you happy entomologists in the north west look out for this one its coming to you soon :sneaky2:
