had one of these harmless thingys(forgot its name) getting interested in a freshly felled larch stem, last saw one two years ago on freshly cut scots pine. both times the creature was intent on sticking its thingy in the timber..

have same problem on 6mth old stihl hedgetrimmers, have to 'choke it to death', seems to have fixed itself and now the blower has started doing it..

it was the biomes bit i was mostly interested in, needed in depth info , but the rest looks just as deep.. thanks for sharing, im pretty poor on the computer for finding stuff.

you are asking a lot there, was honeymoon 6 or 7yrs ago:blushing:, the pics are in a box covered in dust on top of the wardrobe, mr blair would have me throw them away as they havn't been used for over a year, i'll try to scan some in later:thumbup:

nice find hama, could have done with that 6mth ago for an assignment at myerscough, scraped a pass without it anyway but i'll read through sometime as a refresher..

really nice pics:thumbup1:, done ballooning in egypt and loved it, we did it early morning as the sun was rising over the nile and sahara, would be ace to do it somewhere i know well..

yeh that bloody hurt.. if it happens again i damn well will cry..

nice.. i'll try a spoonful on him and let ya know:thumbup:

haha i told him to man up. does that aspen fuel really make a difference? i always just use the stihl green stuff..

'laddo' is my younger bro,

dont be tricked into buying them cheap ratchet straps, they hardly reach across the trailer, well miffed first time i tried strapping the old landy down on trailer and it wouldnt reach all the way, as well as the ratchet handle too short to get loads of leverage:thumbdown:

laddo had day off sick thursday, throwin up etc, either from heat or fumes from hedge trimmers, or both, he was sat in the sun all dinnertime + working all day in sun, need to drink before you get thirsty, or maybe he wanted a day off in the sun with his bird? hmm

mobile rang thursday, guy said-'ive got a bush needs trimming' -nearly laughed at them, asked what area, he says 'its not mine its my mother in laws' -nearly choking with laughter now i asked again what area, he said ' between her legs- i asked if it was a prickly one and he said yeh-very and hung up.. and heres me tryin to sound all professional and not laughin down phone in first place

on a saturday? saturday is for laying down (under landrover) got a stack of overdue spare parts on standby, have a good wknd - dont forget ya blower:thumbup:

Has nobody ever told you, blow-job is just an expression?

blower is ace for dryin sweat behind ya knees, cooling ya down fast etc, climbin in the sun can be a killer(so can groundying), 2ltrs of water doesnt last a morning never mind all day. could have wrung out my t-shirt after 25mins dismantling a larch this afternoon..

type a's are for fairys, same as sunslap, some people say i have a big bum:001_tt2:

whats holding the backrest up? looking good so far:thumbup1:

thanks dean i'll find time this wknd to check it over. previous owner nicely installed a later bulkhead and mashed all the wiring for me as well as welding on a new rear crossmember with rear loom still inside:thumbdown:, lost count of all the wires i have cut and bypassed, if i had a spare vehicle to use i'd sort this one for good with a loom and plenty solder..

at first it looks like im out of fuel, then i notice temp gauge is at bottom too, also indicators going out, just used my last fuse from my stash.. anybody know hand signal for 'im going to brake suddenly -swing right a bit then turn off sharply left into a hidden driveway?

wow 2000 30amp fuses for £47 delivered..

sounds a bargain as landy is eating 30amp fuses at a rate of 1 or more per week.

or maybe i should do the ultimate bodge (no not tinfoil) two male spades with an inch of wire:thumbup: like the previous owner did! one day this truck is having a new loom:thumbup1:

talking to a ex-tree officer from southern parts, she said the local scrote yobs had been nicking chainsaws from sheds and attacking trees in woods/parks/streets etc for fun.. big ones too, very sad. i dont know if this still goes on but very dangerous too..

taller tyres would give better mpg unless they are wider aswell, mines worse on fuel now with muds, wider and taller with lugs churning the air, i havn't got stuck since i changed over though:thumbup:

spent sunday showing shiny car owners see what a real one looks like, guess which is mine..

nosey neighbours..

sorry forgot yesterday.. hope this helps, Ed
