  1. It’s certainly well protected and looking good in the quarry environment. I once did a lot of work in the Cornish china clay quarrys, but their environmental team took exception to the many oil seeps from under my 90, and they surrounded it with spill kits and told me not to bring it back. Is the cage arrangement on the bonnet fixed or just sitting there?
  2. I’ll be sure to avoid jabbing it with a logpick then. When I poked a hole in my daughters old iPhone battery it left a very nasty scorch in the chopping block. Definitely not one to be tried indoors!
  3. @openspaceman do you reckon this approach would also work for busted bli200x batteries?
  4. It’s only a shame that Husqvarna see fit to build their batteries out of something akin to fine Swedish crystal. Maybe if they chose materials that weren’t so fundamentally brittle, customers wouldn’t feel the need to open ‘em!
  5. @adw just for research purposes*, how much would you guys charge to undo 4 standard screws, switch a cracked bli200x cover for an uncracked one, and screw it all back together? *asking for a friend
  6. Oh, them. Yes…. I’m not totally convinced that they aren’t playing for effect!
  7. The OP seems quite happy with his existing installation IMO.
  8. Do you think? Maybe I should wait till winter to change it…. At least the family will be warmed by my smouldering remains.
  9. I assumed that there would be that kind of sentiment from Husqvarna- hence the lack of battery parts thus far… As luck would have it, I don’t remember ever entering into any agreement with Husqvarna or it’s dealers about not opening batteries, so that’s all good.
  10. Not even when you pop your eyeglass in?
  11. Do you have a patio heater? If not, stick a length of vitreous enamel flue, load it up with hazel, and enjoy the great outdoors as the summer evenings draw in. Not only will the paint cure, but it will not owe you anything should the chimney installation become too onerous. 🧐
  12. I must confess, I’m not certain I’ve ever installed anything quite along those lines before.
  13. …. And then just keep whichever are the best stems from all the regrowth.
  14. ….but I’d probably do this…
  15. It’s willow, so I would do at least this….
  16. I thought that building control signed them off if the installation met the requirements of part J of the building regs? I had them signed off before no problem, but it was a while back. Maybe ecodesign stoves are incorporated building regs now? (I have also had stoves HETAS installed, and the installers have incorporated some ‘engineering solutions’ that I would never have considered). When I was a younger man, I did ‘install’ an aga into the fireplace of a house I was renting…… the landlady went proper apesh’t,….. possibly with good reason.
  17. Ordered, and for little more than a can of Aspen!
  18. Thanks Dan It’s including keypad AND screws…. Bargain!
  19. Ahhhh, Dan, if you could dredge up who it was, that would be brilliant. I assumed I would have to wait until someone like Farmertec would start producing rip-off ones.
  20. If you stick one of these bags in a boiling flask first thing in the morning, you get a hot, smoky tasting, tannin- free cuppa throughout the day, no milk necessary (can’t do without milk in most hot drinks). The drawback is you can’t let on to anyone what you’re drinking, lest they think you a pretentious prick.
  21. This. Aeropress is possibly not as fast as instant coffee, but it’s not far off. Instant coffee is an outrage to humanity.
  22. Anyway, to answer you actual question, I have had a T540i for over 2 years, and a 540i for over a year, both on oem pitch chains, using bli300 and bli200x batteries, and I have found they haven’t needed any sort of attention at all so far. the only issues I’ve noticed are.. >the bli200 battery sometimes comes half a click out of the topper, resulting in no electrical contact being made, but thats no biggie once you’ve noticed. >the batteries front panels are a bit prone to cracking.
  23. I take it you checked that the motor turned easily by hand whilst you were in the “checking obvious things” stage?
  24. Chicken. I’ve seen Ivy do it.
