And i'v just rememberd some thing else, the gear box problem was just a plastic gate at the bottom of the gear stick, the origanal ones were to week. so not the box itself,

I'v just rememberd. all of the above was done on the new shape l200, and the out of warranty stuff was done on the old club cab, so yes if it is a recall regardles of age its free.

I did have a lot of recalls on the l200, the rear spring bolts twice, engine pipe?, gear box same as you, and a few other things, if you have got the trucks history it should say but if not ring Mitsubishi with your reg and ask if its had all the recalls done, they will have a record, if not get them to book it in.

You should still be able to get it done for free as recalls can be a safety issue. the garage doing the work will get paid by Mitsubishi, go to a main agent. I did have another issue on an older truck, out of warranty, Toyota i think, and that was done free of charge.

I had the club cab, loads of room in the bed and you could still get a 3 man team inside the cab ,with tools, as long as the one in the back was a dwarf and by chance at that time we had one of those working for us, T2 was his name:lol:

Yep i had the same thing go on mine but it was under waranty, they came out and took it away, turns out it was something they had recalls on so maybe its something or a recall that this truck has missed, give them a ring with the reg because if its a recall that the truck has missed you should still get it done for free.

I'v had it with them, there will come a point when we can't even go up the trees.

Thats the best way

I'm the same as you, but I don't bother explaining about all the other work above that of day to day tree work, I tend to enjoy tinkering with the chipper and grinder it keeps me out of the house:thumbup:

No criticism intended but I still believe it is Bjerkandera adusta. I have been looking into this one of late and especially the 2nd lot of images I believe tie in well.

I thought they were good pictures, its one that can catch a lot of people out.

Try a taste test, if it is it will taste sour.

Bjerkandera adusta.

Yes, my son , he lives with a lasbanian

I'l be round in five, get me a cold one out:lol:

WOW big fish:thumbup:

I'l get you, you wait and see, no mates in the pub tonght? :lol:

No, just ring him up and talk to him, talk being the main word, he's just the same as you and me.

Mog, or a blue VW passat:lol:

Hot nice bit of Oak 2

No , not at first, just build your kit up as the money and work comes in.

It is a nice touch though, if you have the knowledge, qualifications and can quantify your input - ie pile and beam foundation in respect of construction work within or around the RPA of a tree, general piling recommendations regarding type ie micro - plastic sheathed and including foundation depth. Most of this has relevance to clay soils, strip foundation precautionary measures advice. Developers are often cost driven sometimes alternative solutions are sought. PI, index levels, water demand of a given species all should ideally be included or commented upon, just my opinion. It often eveolves into a much larger project which could address in detail some issues which LPAs building control officers can often oversee and especially sub contracted ones. Clients are always very grateful of detailed information regarding their investment. NHBC chapter 4.2 good source of reference and my own personal favourite especially with all the spiral of new development across the country. British Geological Survey sheets, soil and drift editions - they will provide LPAs with a much deeper level of detail which might have ordinarily been overlooked unless of course it was covered within a geological survey but this may not have always been carried out. This can also provide details which can halt development in its tracks.

I assume you mean the new 5837:2012. I have not received mine yet but I assume that they refer to a simple tactile test to assess soil structure, a drainage assessment and a ph assessment ie what trees and plant species are present and doing well or a simple ph test could be carried out but I would not expect that detailed level of assessment at this point. Existing compaction could also be commented on and also the location/presence of virgin ground whioch would provide new quality planting areas subject to adequate protection measures being put in place during the construction phase of the development - my thoughts I hope it helps and I look forward to receiving my new 5837. This info would be invaluable data in respect of recommendations regarding future planting areas and species selection for those areas.

Thanks for that:thumbup1:

I'd say if you are apprehensive about using a chainsaw alone then don't, my confidence became rooted from doing tree surgery work in Australia, we would climb and cut with chainsaws in shorts:thumbdown: it was so hot, I have over the years cut my self with cainsaws, mainly through rushing jobs, so for those of you who wonder what the pain is like this is how i would discribe it- (is this a first for Arbtalk?) The cut-first is observation-lots of red! followed by a tight burning pain/sensation on the wound, Panic- the first time you do it, then after that, if you ever cut your self again it tends to be more of a "ohh bugger" moment, other sensations- wetness (blood) .for me the worst part/pain of a cut is the recovery, for weeks as the injury scabs over there will be times when you forget, at this point when you stretch the skin the pain quickly reminds you of the injury, as the scab cracks thats the worst pain, you tend to say"ohh deer that hurts" or some words like effect:lol:
