The 620 is a good little entry level machine but the series is a bit long in the tooth now making it a bit less desirable. In its favour, its a rugged little bugger, easy to maintain and small enough to park in a domestic garage. On the down side its relatively heavy and it only has a single feed roller. Parts for the Hatz engine are expensive and its narrow wheelbase makes it a bit tippy. The bearings are an off the shelf item and an easy fix, the engine is an unknown and could be expensive. The standard in feed control is no longer HSE compliant and this unit looks standard so it will need a retro fit. As a going concern, ready to work its worth somewhere in the region of 2K. As a non runner its worth a fraction of that.

That's the way to go. Defence in layers needs............ An easy outer zone with a silent alarm A well protected inner zone A short response time Somewhere to get rid of the body.

If your VT isn't bighting you need to look at why not. That can be fixed. If you think the VT is "dangerous" wail till you knock the lever on a Lock Jack:laugh1:

How hard can it be? I did it to a Discovery

That's some pretty advanced gear for a first aid kit, do your people have the He training to use it?
-
In the UK, the powers that be like us to carry a personal first aid kit. Mine lives on the back of my harness and my rescue knife is in there. If you forgot that knife was in your boot top and you walked into town the police would be on to you in a heart beat, but then again those boots would attract plenty of attention all by themselves.

If the noise is coming from the pump tank unit (assuming its electric) the unit is probably low on oil. The squealing noise will be the pump caveatting. The tank should have a dipstick on it, it's often a screw in job on the top of the tank. Prop the body before doing anything underneath.

Those ally fins are a bit soft, perhaps they could make them out of something harder like cast iron? No wait, that's might not work either

You aren't the first to fall foul of that, I drove for 2 years thinking my renewed policy covered me for other peoples cars on a third party basis, they had sneaked it out of the policy. Read the small print even on a renewal
-
I did say driving driving and notice you were a tad evasive there, what was the charge? Last month an acquaintance with a thriving business pleaded poverty on a DD charge and got off with a fine in low hundreds, while driving his new range rover. No evidence required.
-
Selective quoting, from that same document 1. The amount of a fine must reflect the seriousness of the offence.1 2. The court must also take into account the financial circumstances of the offender; this applies whether it has the effect of increasing or reducing the fine.2 Normally a fine should be of an amount that is capable of being paid within 12 months. Continuing with the footballer analogy they could pay the maximum tariff in 12 minutes so that's not means tested
-
Fines are dispensed in accordance with the tariff of punishment. It sets out the minimum and maximum punishment for the offence. For the plebeian, your brief can whinge that you don't have a lot of disposable income and that a heavy fine would be difficult to pay, that cant be said of the footballers so they get the top end of the tariff. The courts don't get involved with financially auditing each and every drink driving defendant but the sentencing guidelines say they do have to take the severity into account. To take your example of Mr Smith lets say the fine is £100.00 and he earns £400.00 a week, that makes the fine a quarter of his weekly. Rooney earns 329,851.00 a week and a quarter of that is over 82 grand, that's hardly a means tested fine What looks like means testing is the guilty as sin whinging that they cant pay even tough they are bang to rights.
-
You seem fixed on the financial, what about murder, does a young man get more jail time because he has longer to live? And the page you linked to is nothing to do with means testing of fines, its a site that earns its corn by dealing with bailiffs and one of the defences is that they may have to means test you before setting the bailiffs on you. It's a complete red herring and has NOTHING to do with the means testing of fines, only the collection of them.
-
As I understand that its the payments that you get means tested on not the level of fine. If the level of fines were means tested the system would be grossly unfair, a poor man and a rich man would be punished differently for the same offence, how could that be right?
-
Fines aren't means tested, they are supposed to be based on the severity of the offence. If you have built something and decide to wreck it by drink driving you made your choice so live with it.

That would be the ISA UK&I chapter. The AA is an entirely separate organisation The chapter has a sub group that runs the TCC largely autonomously, unless things have changed drastically.

What's the AA got to do with the ISA TCC? (Scuse the acronyms)

You missed the significance, I was paraphrasing your own restriction to emphasise how unfair it is to play a game where the other side makes the rules as they go along

If you wanted to stick that, Polyurethane adhesive would do the job

Nope, those are your words that you are putting into my mouth. I never said that, I never said it was low on diversity in itself either but there are many other trees that are just as valuable from diversity point of view that wont dominate a garden or wherever else it grows. You set conditions about what I could nominate but I am going to disregard them because you don't get to make the rules to suit your answers. Poplar is just as frisky at re growth and as a native will be waaay better than any gum or redwood for UK biodiversity. Goat willow is a good coloniser but its a bit of a cockroach.
-
But other trees have the same or similar associations and I have put a saw through more goat willow than I care to think about and under its canopy, it is largely sterile. Its good at propagating itself and not much else so I stand by my statement, kill it now. Everything has a place but unless you are looking to green up a waste tip or old railway siding there are many equally worthy trees that don't share the unfortunate characteristics.
