Hi guys. As the title suggests, anyone know of one on the hertfordshire area that hot on diagnosing an electrical fault on a machine? My machine manufacturer had a great guy but he has now left and as my machine is obsolete, they dont seem to want to know. I have the wirng wirng schematics
-
I've got similar issues, not engine cutting out, but my code reader wont work. Garage has had it for a day and cant find the fault so will have it back again for another day

This is all well ang good, but what about hen we have electric trucks that already weigh 3.5tonnes due to battery weight?

Try hydraulic pumps.co.uk. i needed a new pump off a machine, gave them some code numbers off old pump and they built one. Third of the price of a new cassappa

Signed. Good points made but
there are a few typos that could do with editing to help it read more fluidly👍
I will have a look

I've set up a change petition. Hope you guys can sign and share. It's self explanatory. Up the o licence from 3.5 tonnes to 4.5 tonnes.

Hardly a new or novel item,but well worth keeping in your glovebox-its earned its keep and got me and others out of jail,pretty much makes full size jump leads redundant.In particular it saved me so much hassle when returning from 14 days in Greece to find my elderly golf cabbies battery totally flat in the long stay airport car park.This one will start a 2l diesel at least twice and a 2l petrol mebbie 3 times I would guess.
Had one of these myself, until it decided to spit the innards out along with puff of smoke while trying to start a 9hp diesel engine.

What about a double cab transit tipper or the like? How are they defining pickup?

Apologies if I've misspelt the above
Customer has had a letter from the fotestry commission, saying that the OPM. Has been seen in the area and he has to get his oak tree sprayed.
They are offering to do it free, but will this offer expire and does he have to have it done or can he tell them to get stuffed?
It's in a private garden and covered by a tpo

A random stop or had they set up an operation?
The weighbridge at Hatfield on the A1 is very busy now with stops. Never seems to be stopping the overloaded over width/length agri vehicles.
That's exactly where it was! They were waiting to pounce once I got on just before the Hatfield tunnel

Yeah he was probably hinting about your "woodshure" registration. ( Think that's what it's called). Licence to sell firewood. Complete bull. The police shouldn't even be thinking about policing this, or even know about it. Not a road safety matter.
Did he say he was going to report you to woodsure or do something else?
Reported for insecure load. I think as I was giving the logs away, he said no more. I genuinely was, giving them to my ex wife to keep my kids warm!

It does appear that he was just doing his job, and even displayed a bit of common sense.
Sheeting over a loose load of sand?

Asking about what you were doing with the wood was sinister though. Mission creep. Unless he suspects the timber is stolen or something.
I got the impression it's done kind of licence. I've been asked for this before by certain customers who refused to buy from me unless I produced it

Put three bulk bags of seasoned conifer on my twin Cab iveco daily, got on a1m and was immediately asked to follow a police traffic officer to a weighbridge.
I was 5.1% overweight!!!
He let me off that, but told me the load was unsafe as the logs were higher than the sides.
I then manually reduced said bags so loose logs were now lower than the sides.
He still wasn't happy, and insisted the load should be sheeted as if I go over a pothole, a log could jump out!
Even a load of sand has to be sheeted he reckoned!
The final sting was asking why I had them on. I told him I was giving them away, so he let me off but if I was selling them he would need to check my licence!
It's getting harder to make a living!
I'm being reported and may get prosecuted!

If it’s pushing just air into the tank then there Is no fuel in the carb to fill the bulb, so basically fuel starvation..
Yes, but primer should pump fuel into carb, but it appears to just push air into tank instead.

Mate is having problems with his blower
It was running rough so had cleaned out the carb with an airline. Now the primer bulb won't prime but appears to be pushing air into the tank! Any ideas?

Looks like a 5 tonne machine. No wonder tyres gave out!
-
Mate has had so much trouble from adblue on his nt400, he has just had it mapped out. It's like a different truck now. More power and better mpg

These manufacturers need to get off their high horse about this. Their responsibilty ends when the machine leaves the factory. If people want to modify them, it's up to them, and if they have spent upwards of £25,000, they should be allowed to unchallenged. It's nothing to do with anyone else.
I can think of a certain chipper manufacturer who has threatened to sack people if they even dare to suggest to a customer that the fuel settings can be modified.
