  1. I used to get £120 a day for me with a 357 and my axe.
  2. Cheers mate. It's only one that was laying around at St L's. I thought I would see if I could sort it out as a spare for Ian to practise on. Btw, shame you couldn't make it yesterday. I think you might grow to like the 'drome.
  3. Ok, I will give it a try if I get a chance to disappear into the workshop tomorrow.
  4. Cheers both, will give it a (gentle) go tomorrow.
  5. Seriously???
  6. Is that a sawn end underneath it?
  7. Phew, I thought somebody had been despoiling our lovely county.
  8. I think you can ask the mods to do it for you.
  9. That's bad, mate. Where was it?
  10. Did somebody want 'their' view improved? My first suspect would be any developers nearby who would benefit.
  11. I have a Makita DCS 340 from the late 1990s with the starter cord hanging out. I've got the nut off the flywheel but can't see how to get the flywheel off to get to the starter pulley behind. There doesn't seem to be any room to get a puller around it? Help!!!!
  12. If you are making money from it then that is great. For those like the OP who are receiving a derisory amount for the chip, plus the inconvenience of storing and loading it, and who have a suitable site offered to them, my suggestion is a viable alternative.
  13. We use it as a mulch around trees and beds around the estate. Having worked in Arb for a few years before taking on my current role, I know how invaluable it is to have a network of places to dump chip on '2 truckload days' when working away from home and so am pleased to offer a service that is mutually beneficial. We don't get tonnes and tonnes of the stuff in but we get enough to get by. We can always use more though.
  14. I initially got in touch with a company online called Brixworkwear and they then put me in tough with a lady called Cordelia Wagner at Haix in Germany. I sent them a few photos of the problem and they asked me for the serial number which is on the label inside the boot under the size. She then arranged a new pair for me.
  15. I had the sole split on mine after 18 months and Haix sorted me out a new pair with no arguments.
  16. We'll take it if you want shot of it for free, but you have to get it to us in Ingatestone, Essex.
  17. Offer is still open if you are nearby again. PM me if you need my mobile number. I've also got another site which needs a lot of chip for mulching a memorial wood in Stow Maries, near Maldon.
  18. Why have the stress of worrying about it? At these prices, by the time you factor in storage, loader + fuel and your own time to load it for them, it can't make economical sense. Just have a list of places that will happily let you tip there. We even put the kettle on for the driver when we get a delivery.
  19. Thanks for the tip.
  20. I'll give you a fiver for it.
  21. Thanks mate.
  22. That's more to do with the slow down of the Asian Tiger rather than H M Government.
  23. It has already worked to the extent that kit thefts are on the up as opposed to metal theft.
  24. Anybody know the part number for the carb adjusting tool for a Husqvarna 142 please? And the factory settings too?
  25. That's fine for us. When I say clean chip, I just mean chip that doesn't have a load of rubbish in it. Regular chipped arb waste is fine as we just use it as mulch on the estate.
