  1. If what they did caused the problem then they should fix it, your problem may be proving that is the case
  2. Its perfectly normal to look at your actions in the cold light of day and naturally you are able to see things you could have done differently, reacting well under those circumstances is a difficult thing, many go to pieces at the sight of a bit of claret and scalp wounds do bleed well, add to that the family factor, and anyone would do well not to have at least a "moment". Rather than analysing your actions, ask yourself if you would have been able to step up if there wasn't someone else there to take the first aid on.
  3. Its got a radiator so it wont be hatz, if it is a cummins 4 B series the engine is worth waaaay more than 4 hundred edit looking at it that's engine looks a tad small to be a 4B
  4. Have you ever driven one? It would be a short romance:laugh1:
  5. Having worked on a few I can agree its a good car but like all cars now, it is designed with the emphasis on low cost to build regardless of how expensive that makes it to maintain. The diy mechanic is going to have problems he didn't have with earlier models but that can be said of most manufacturers for quite some time now
  6. In an urban environment probably not very far but at 6am in the rural quiet you described about half a county away
  7. Its cool now, there is no roof:laugh1:
  8. The blueing is nothing to do with your usage, it was on the bar when it arrived, its part of the heat treatment to make the bar durable, what you have done is taken a bit of paint off to expose the colour. Its probably not possible to create that kind of heat by friction with a chain and if you could the chain would get just as hot and you would have noticed the chain oil burning off the bar and plastic bits melting and dripping off your saw just before it caught fire.
  9. Are you serious? It had 4 tractor pulling on it
  10. With a massive caveat that if you use it and bad things happen they aren't responsible
  11. What he said
  12. Ha ha, I am going to call it a product test and invoke the general rule of, I am a tree surgeon so I am exempt....from everything
  13. Now that I didn't expect, I wasn't actually serious, you cant use anything but the grillons rope without taking it out of its CE mark and the safety elf's wont like that, at the moment its got a bit of imori in it and that's a tad fat making it harder to use.
  14. Don't rely on a dog to keep the scum out, they have no morals and will think nothing of poisoning your animal.
  15. Or is slipping and falling is more dangerous? I tried a wire core line but it won't go through my grillon, can you get one with a thinner core?
  16. Pretty simple when you think about it, the fire is centred on the bar so bar lube, saw dust and a spark.
  17. Its called a flip line, the wire core is to make it flip, its not cut protection
  18. My engineers report cost £120.00
  19. Now I feel bad, if I have known that I would have delivered and fitted it Glade to be of help
  20. It goes in swings and fits, if you luck on an underwriter who is looking for business it will be cheaper, if they are at saturation it will cost more Try a few more, it's a chore but it can save a respectable sum
  21. I have a heavily modified discovery tipper with NFU at 600 quid
  22. Some hydraulic tank breathers have a gauze filter in them that could be described as an air filter:biggrin:
  23. You cant really tell how canister filters are by looking at them for the little they cost swap it out to eliminate it as a problem.
