Nice, that's not the twin-cylinder 'Evil twin' I've heard about is it?

Stihl 090av?

Love Mark's one about the disabled boy Trimming a conifer hedge in a back garden, finished and tidying up when the client, an old lady comes out, points to the other corner of the garden where a horse chestnut is dropping a few leaves and asks 'You do a good blow-job! Can you go over over there too?' Others include 'Can you just..' 'Not that one!' 'How much do you charge per hour?' 'What's your lowest price?' 'Can you clear it up for free since the wind took it down in the first place? Most of the work is already done, right?' 'I like trees but only when they're far away in a field, no-where near me'

From memory it was £164.70:001_smile:

Did a bit of research and that seems to make sense regarding your gearbox. Despite my comment above it's apparently not revs that increase EGTs and therefore assist regeneration in diesels, it's torque load, so chugging along in lower revs and making the engine work a bit should result in fewer DPF issues. That said, long live Euro 4: no smoke no poke!
-
As above, they can clog up if they're not driven faster every now and then, all most DPF's ask is around 10-15 minutes at around 50mph. A dash light will usually come on to tell you when Regeneration is occuring, in which time the engine will get hotter, MPG will drop, purposefully burning more fuel to increase EGT. Unless you exclusively drive in built-up areas, you shouldn't really have a problem. Even if you do, it's an excuse to take it on a swift drive on your favourite A-roads one evening if the reminder light comes on Regeneration will normally occur naturally on motorways etc Failing that, just pick up a newer Euro 4 engine, such as any Vw Group 'PD' engine (golf, passat, A3, A4, Octavia etc etc) as DPFs are a Euro 5 requirement. Or have the DPF taken out DPFs are not currently a legal requirement or needed to pass an MOT test.

Bingo. Or put in better foundations in the first place, but that was obviously a silly non-business-like idea. The tree was clearly there before the building. Would have been an even better idea to site that tin can, sorry, home somewhere else. The thing's probably still on wheels!

Point well made, a soggy arborist covered in shiny metal things with an equally soggy length of rope dangling down to the ground sounds like an ideal path for lightning!

Coalition plans for relaxing applications goes further still?

Trees are taking a back seat. At least we'll be able to stream super fast youtube videos of a chimp having its way with a frog. -
Those people wanted £2500 AND to play with trains? Pfft

Shame there's a reserve price, someone might have dug deep and coughed up the 99p (provided it's cut, split, stacked and loaded into the van when you get there)... NAAAT:biggrin:

Possibly sanitation fell, since it's only a young'un and you mentioned you had more. It may be too late though..

£450 buy it now!? That's the Everest of optimism. Probably trying to make his money back from a guy like us who did the job:biggrin:

There's a lot of speculation about magnetic bracelets acting/reacting/massaging/etc the iron molecules present in every red blood cell, the problem is magnetism itself has a famously small range and loses its influence incredibly quickly ie. the distance between the magnet and your vesses. Also I believe the copper in copper bracelets can't be absorbed by the skin and therefore not utilised. Despite the many benefits of trace copper as a micronutrient for humans, the bracelet ads you see fail to mention that near all usable copper is absorbed by the stomach, not the skin. Just eat a bag of brazil nuts every now and then, very high in copper:thumbup: Science aside, I would probably still wear one even just for the placebo effect, that and to be sure in the mind that I have some scrap value should somebody weigh me in

Heap some soil and rooting hormone around it, worth a shot:001_tt2:

You have to scroll down after you click reply to find a box called 'manage attachments' from there you have to upload the photo, then some numbers will appear in the white typebox and it should be visible after you click submit reply Hope this helps.

Okay you win. I can't even seen the photo but you still win.

This morning I was also able to make a winning bid on a secondhand Suunto clinometer on eBay, £140 new but I got this 1970's antique for £25! Every cloud

I'm writing this from home resting my back for the day after having a small branch that was threading it's way down the canopy from above and got stuck released itself in the wind while I was below it (First day being groundie in weeks too, that's my excuse) I'm usually good at clocking hangers and keeping them in mind until I get the polesaw to dislodge them but today was a lapse. The butt end hit me like a dart just above my left cheek and hurt like hell, it's feeling better this morning but still hurts to sit down and get up (fine once sat) But I certainly can't climb and even crouching to pick stuff up hurts. Back injury is not funny, fortunately I've got survey stuff to get on with It seems you're not the only one off today! To everybody else, stay safe!

We were 15m downhill with a long hose at the time = super vacuum:laugh1:
-
That's the same system we use:001_smile: Although once we left the lid on with the breather closed and the vacuum caused by the water leaving sucked the plastic tank in on itself
