  1. Hi, recently purchased a brand new 372xpg and only been used half a dozen times then it decided to just seize up. Returned to shop and they took it apart and one of the guys said it had been run on neat fuel but there is no chance of this happening as I'm the only one using it and I mixed the fuel and I have been using same fuel for two other saws and blower. The piston and bore looked ok just the crank knackered. It's just bugging me why it would happen and when I get it back will it do it again ?
  2. oh and never had any probs on wet conny

  5. Hi , My main climbing line is new england uv and i climb using a blakes hitch. However the split tale i have been using has nearly had it and want to replace with a spliced eye split tail,theres a yale magma ice split tail on gustharts would this be any good or does anyone know of anything better. Thankyou
  6. It's NOT the same as our old 61 so I'd say 162
  7. Nice shots monkey !!
  8. Sad news yet again, Thoughts with his friends and family.
  9. Yes your right ! Also congrats on the birth of your little'un
  10. Yes I agree they can be a bit bouncy on the back end , they do ride totally different with some weight in the buck though. As for the interior I made sure I bought one with leather and it does make it a bit smarter. I do always tell myself though that it still is classed as a commercial vehicle so the ride is never gonna be anything like some of the cars I have owned.
  11. Yeah I agree but kind of confused me as I know of two loler arb inspectors that aren't at all qualified climbers, just arb retailers. I'll be speaking to one of them in the week so will ask him then
  12. I had same dilemma 18 months ago. Went out and drove ranger navara and l200. I wanted it as a family motor but still be able to use it if my old work l200 broke . To me the the ranger just wasn't comfy and felt too agricultural, I liked the navara but all the stories from people I knew that owned them and from the net scared me a tad so yes you guessed it I bought an 18 month old warrior. The wife drives it most of the time but I have used it for work a few times and yes they are no where near the ruggedness of say a Landy but I didn't buy it for that. I know alot of people don't like the styling but after some general at2's went on it did help a bit with that. What did you hate about them ?
  13. I don't understand this part where it says be qualified to use it . Does that mean they have to be qualified climbers ? Or am I being thick:confused1:
  14. Wow that is bad ! In it's lifetime it must have had something spilt on it to cause it to rust/weaken like that . Is the rest of the steel core rusted ? And if so how bad ?
  15. If Its now unusable can you not cut the outer sheath open and have a look at the steel cable ? And post pics .
  16. That kevin wilson video was brilliant !!
  17. Nice beefed up looking arb truck !!
  18. Bought myself a 372 xp a couple months ago and can't put it down ! Been using it for everything, absolutely love it !
  19. Great, looks worth every penny !
  20. Thats a good pic of it next to the husky Kind of puts it into perspective of how much of a large well made piece of Kit it is ! I'll certainly be ordering one very soon:biggrin:
  21. Personally I prefer the 346xp . I think there's a thread on this before, I'll try find it . Found this , has some good replys. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/22373-346xp-357xp.html
  22. Steve , can I ask why you deleted my post. I didn't swear as I asterixed it out. What. Wrote was also true information.

  23. Ha or two Rottweilers !!
