its all good shane i meant it in good humour :001_smile:had a few minor issues but all is good now !it has served me well !

is that why you sold me your chipper !lol:lol: just for record shane how often did you have to change then ?

yeh too true ! and unfortunatly the majority of people watch this stuff , ooh and argh have a little cry then turn the tv off and forget all about it and then moan like crazy cos the pizza delivery is late

did you watch comic relief by any chance ? you had to admire that father ! very very sad to give up all hope but still manages to smile so his kids dont hate him

hundreds of possibilities but is there any chance it got shut in a car door or boot ? making a bend in the wire and forming a weak spot ? im just trying think of obvious things thats likely to have weakened it

well both being landy fans and arbtalk mates rates !! thats a pretty big discount:biggrin:

not sure about a decompressor valve ? in my limited machanical knowledge id say no but wouldnt be 100 % , hps ? never heard of them but would be well handy as the only place ive got parts from in the past are in derbyshire , much appreciated mate

so twisted hicap , so far ....... your cleaning my fuel tank and now rebuilding my engine ! ha lol .

ive just downloaded the workshop manual from that , so im geussing that rules out the previous thoughts

sounds like ive gota lot of stuff to check ! i much prefered last week ! things were looking so much simpler ,lol

so the timming could be out then ?

hey billy , i was hoping that might be the case , :thumbup1:ive got your piccys all good , and thanks for the info on it . once ive got this week out the way and these problems sorted il know more what im doing if youve got potential buyers dont hold back but i am very tempted, just gota sort my finances out ! this week has not gone to plan !! thanks again mate

well this week hasnt excatly gone to plan , monday - turned up to job to find out gardner had done it for free at weekend ! Tuesday-flat tyre wenesday-hands covered in annoying blackthorns and pissing hard rain all day only to here a strange noise coming from chipper , misfired a couple of times then saw a little oil leak coming from around tube that covers pushrods got back to garage and striped down engine to find one broken pushrod and another bent ! joy oh joy . so my question is apart from obviously rplacing neccesary parts is there anything more sinister that i should be looking for as to why this happened , to me it looks like the little cup on top of the rod that sits under the rocker arm has snapped off so im geussing the other rod has compensated which is why that is bent ?:confused1:the other cylinder seems fine . i should have taken some pictures really . its a lombardini engine 9ld if any body has experience of these . many thanks . oh and does anyone know how expensive pushrods are ?

oooh thats handy !

yep your right ! so where in sussex do you live and how much do you charge to clean fuel tanks !(you think im joking)

right i get you , well the filter has been full in the past now its less than a 3rd full ? so not so much in the way of a bubble but more of a massive space !lol

interesting stuff there tommer ! so bugs have been doing there no 2s in my fuel ! how lovely lol:lol: i think its more grit and stuff rather than sludge but il be investigating further , i really want to get the tank off but i think its going to be a headache ! any other suggestions for cleaning the tank cos im at this moment im looking at the dyson and just wondering !!.....hmmmmm:biggrin:

yeh engines all good ,drops revs ocassionally but thats due to lack of fuel getting through i think ,what do you mean by (a little bubble in them )

hey david , yeh i think i know what this weekend is gona hold for me , never thought about the gauze bit that might be worth a look , im just wondering now if i need to take the hopper off to get the tank out joy !

hello mate , i thought youd pop up ! yeh had it since last june i think :confused1:id love to drain the tank but from what i can gather ive gota take the tank off to do that as there isnt a drain plug (i think ) really annoying me it is !

right guys ive got a 98 entec but with a deisel lombardini engine on it , i only have a small inline fuel filter on it and it keeps blocking up with rubbish that must be in the tank ,(not usually a problem as i just change filters every so often ) my problem is that the filter recently never seems to fully fill up with fuel ,even using the manual pump i cant get it to fill ?? is there likely to be air in the system somewhere ?or is the pump knackerd ?

i wouldnt say i get all the luck ........ but that was pretty lucky

ive got the coopers on mine ,and id say theres no difference in performance between them and bf and i got 5 for 360 quid cos the garage cocked the price up ! RESULT

hi jon , id have 265 /75 /16 , thats what il be buying when my current ones need replacing ,there wide enough to allow it to be a bit more stable and not to wide that there be a problem with wheel arches ,mot etc

really tempted now! where abouts are you based and if you want to pm me a phone number that would be great ive got alot to think about now ! i think this threads gone right off transits !lol heres my landy
