  4. Most of the dealers will either do there own or have a contact.
  5. X3 I wouldn't have time to traul papers or planning apps on the off chance I find something . Smacks of desperation to me, and will do to most customers .
  6. My 540 has Been great so has my navara, others with the same kit haven't been so lucky, it seems most modern stuff is down to the luck of the draw.

  9. Spud, i got a metal clutch bearing for my 261, it's a bit better but there is still a fair bit of slop between the bearing and crankshaft wich allows a fair bit of movement on the clutch drum. Am sure I herd somewhere that the early 261 had a crank issue? ??? What can I do.

    scam alert

    I had a call 3 weeks ago from "Microsoft " when I said I only ever bough apple computers it went rather quite !
  12. With some of the dross stihl have been throwing out over the last few years I would go 395, no auto tune and tested for years, don't forget this is stihls second attempt on the 661 in less than a year!
  13. No sorry bud mine has been faultless.
  14. Stihl hiflex are actually easy too repair, simply glue tissue paper over the tare and it will be stronger than when new!
  15. Really wow, not worth loading it for thst surely?
  16. Haha, looks like something from wakkie races
  17. Yes you do need it and it really isn't that expensive compared to getting sued if one of your "employees "has an accident.

  21. Alot round me as well, have done a fair bit for schools over the years.
  22. Correct, there are loads of firms robbing people and saying you need all sorts when you don't, I always get asked for my muppet card but only ever once for for nptc certs. When you think of some of the drongos that end up working on sites they can't make it too hard too get!
