  1. I find it happens more in cold weather when the wire contracts making the line tighter placing more strain on the weakened area and more in warm conditions when the plastic insulation becomes more elastic and less able to resist the tension:laugh1:
  2. It has been my experience that lines through trees rub on the bark which is exceptionally rough, wearing the line through and causing it to snap quite spontaneously and without warning
  3. If the ine goes to your customers house you pretty much have to play thier game, or drop it off the pole yourself, thats not allwed because the pole belongs to open reach but i have heard of it happening. If the line goes elsewhere the "get orf moi laaaand" tack often gets results.
  4. Ask to see the easement that allows them to run the line over your clients property, when they say they dont need one ask to see chapter and verse on that, they often realise its easier to drop the line than argue with you.
  5. Classic symptoms of a worn out pump
  6. Ha ha ha "Be reasonable, do it my way":laugh1::laugh1:
  7. Yes, I think it is. You do have tax don't you?
  8. That's the tax mans money. If fed ex cant recover it they will chuck it to the taxman and his wolves, he is remorseless and relentless and if you don't pay it will attract costs.
  9. No one said you weren't a masochist:laugh1:
  10. The RL stands for???????............................ Really Lame The R series are a thing for the rivet counting enthusiasts and the M series not far behind
  11. That's because you haven't had to drive one:laugh1:
  12. I would want them to fix it or show chapter and verse on why they didn't have to
  13. How does that stand legally?? One dealer is like another, I can take my Aston (I wish) to any dealer for warranty work. If its a warranty issue any dealer should be able to deal with it.
  14. Leave a shot line in, not as noticeable and cheaper to replace, just in case
  15. Here is my take on this, you called the thread "bottled it". Now I don't know what your interpretation of that phrase is but I understand it to mean failing to do something you ought to have managed, associations of cowardice and failure There is a difference between bottling something and finding your limits. Its history now so kick it to the curb and move on.
  16. Now have visions of the appliance going back with a roof rack full of firewood:laugh1::laugh1:
  17. When dealing with a concept its vital to get confidentiality agreements in place before sharing your idea with third parties.
  18. Well they sell them as flip lines rather than cut proof lines, the wire is there to make the line flip so as long as they flip that's pretty much all the testing they need to do
  19. Plenty of sparks, I am guessing that was a stainless wire, but I have seen otherwise with my own eyes so I will go with "don't bet your life on it"
  20. Liking that, particularly the winch. Liking it better if the bed were a bit longer
  21. How do they melt? I test cut a wire core with an 026 once, one tap was all it took to take out all the wire, no time to notice anything. Don't forget you are cutting strands, thin strands at that, its nothing like hitting a nail The point is that wire core cuts waaaaay easier than people imagine which for some leads to a false sense of security.
  22. That's an expensive mistake
  23. Climbing kit is a personal choice but good choice on the SJ and well done on being able to drive a Hymac. Built by the Welsh for the Irish to drive, not at all logical or simple to drive. I had one as a yard machine for a few years and every Irish digger driver who came near it got all nostalgic and teary eyed over it:thumbup1:
  24. Google is your friend and it says that sinepower makes inverters (logical because an inverter uses the sine wave) That and the fact that there is no sight of a generator.....
  25. Or you could get better at selling cars, unless you like that sort of thing:laugh1:
