    Transit yes looking at the reverse curve on the springs. Trailer depends on its specs. Overall who knows
  2. I think he said IIRC that neighbours house was sinking away from his
  3. Everything has a chemical formulae, even oxygen O, whether it is natural or man made is the difference.
  4. Yours will be the Mk1 pantin(green) carlos, which was much better than the mk2. Yes you do have to flick out the lever but you can do it with your other foot with a bit of practice.
  5. Strange how when it does not matter if you damage anything jobs, you don't and .........
  6. Lost my mk2 pantin couple of months ago, best thing I have done for a whilst, replaced with a CT ascender much better in my opinion and tends right away rather than needing 10 ft of rope below you. Straps longer as well so better for bigger feet/boots.
  7. Thought Habitat went out of business years ago.
  8. Large forestry companies working for forestry commission, no tickets or up to date with FISA then no work, well that's how it is up here.
  9. Check your engine oil level. Had one loose tracking power before, seal gone on pump, pumped hydraulic oil into engine, which then tried to lunch itself by running on the engine/hydraulic oil as it it was blowing it through the breathers into the inlet manifold. Very smoky and brown trouser moment stalled it by tracking till it stopped
  10. Used to do it all the time, break the bead with a prepared piece of angle iron and sledge hammer. Tramp into well, tyre levers and jobs a good un. Now just go to tyre fitters.
  11. Last time I shaved was in 1986, think of all that time saved being manly. Mind you not much hair left on top.
  12. Looks nothing wrong with the bark to me, but what do I know. At least he knew what bark was.
  13. That will be why I have replaced mine cos they were knackered lol
  14. Straight swap for the old style, not recommended by Stihl but it works.
  15. Esarco 8x8 / SS300 all terrain vehicle (ATV) WWW.ALLISONS.ORG Esarco 8x8
  16. An Esarco as said made as prototypes for MOD. Chassis numberwill be something like Sabateur, normally just behind nearside headlight. Was avaliable as 6x6 or 8x8, front axle steered on both but on the 8 wheeler rear axle steered as well. They weremade with V8 engines, Perkins Phazor engines and 6cyl VM. Transmission was either Auto or manual mated to normal L/R transfer box mated to another L/R transfer box to give 8 wheel drive. Propshafts and radius arms allways. Thing of a 110 transfer suspension on a 110 or 90 and overlap another in between the gaps. They were made as soft tops or crew cabs. IIRC MWD werethe final company involved. Think army went for Supercats etc in the end. They were very interesting to drive on and off the road. Got an article somewhere about them will try and dig it out

    Stihl oil

    I think it does, not so much on bigger saws, but the top handles 200/201 run crap on supermarket stuff.

    Stihl oil

    Sorry. I use non supermaket fuel and Stihl green oil(HP super IIRC). All my saws are non autotune so less fussy.
