  1. Has anyone else experienced this with their scafell lite boots? These are 6 months old but have only been worn every other day on rotation with a second pair. Just thought I would ask before I send them back. Thanks.
  2. A friend of mine had his Stihl MS261 stolen yesterday whilst working in a customers back garden. He was working at a property on the A41 Whitchurch road, passing through Christleton nr Chester. He was working in the back garden cutting the top of a hedge off tripod ladders. When he came to move the ladders he noticed an ISC 3 way Karibiner with a short chain attached to it lying on the ground nearby. It was not something he recognised and after giving it a good dose of looking at he assumed it must belong to his groundie and carried on cutting. Ten minutes or so later he noticed that his saw which had been sitting at the side of the house within his view had gone. The police recon the Karibiner was probably thrown by the thieves as a distraction technique whilst they nabbed the saw! So be alert folks. If anyone stumbles across this saw i'm sure he would be pleased to hear from you - Dan 07970128842 It is a Stihl MS361 with a 25" bar (not many around with 25s on) and has a broken piece of plastic on the chain brake handle (the piece of plastic that divides the hole if this makes sense) Around year 09 I think. S/N 170457525. Probably gone for good but you never know:thumbup1:
  3. I had two of these machines, both had to go back to Stihl 3 times, always with the same issues .Each time they took 3 - 8 weeks to be returned to me. They finally did the right thing and replaced them with brand new saws ( After many cross words on the phone). I find it very disappointing that even though I paid a premium price for a so called premium product, I would have recieved better customer support if I had of purchased a 'DIY' saw from B+Q! My two replacement saws were fitted with spur sprockets (by Stihl) before I took delivery of them as Stihl themselves cannot be certain that the faulty batch of rim type clutch drums are not still being fitted to brand new saws! This problem has been known to them for over 12 months, why are there still faulty clutch drums being supplied? I have been pitched firmly in the Stihl camp for years now but unfortunately my experience with this warranty claim has left me very reluctant to buy any more of their products.
