  1. plywood boards are 22m or 25 mm thick though arn't they there will be some weight in them! other than that i can't see where the other weight comes from? must just be a heavy bus
  2. hows the chainbrake handle? has it freed up? i know that theyre stiff when new, also have you have any work done to it or is it standard?
  3. Also the data plate should be next to your head where your seat belt is (drivers)
  4. hi there, i've got a 2001 cabstar same 2.7td engine. just come to replace glow plugs and one snapped in the head! bummer, so got the head off now and its off to the engineers. mine gross 3.2 ton and train weight is 5.5 ton debating wether to keep or get shut yet...
  5. hey bobby look at this, stihl ms200t top handle chainsaw on eBay (end time 06-Sep-10 14:57:30 BST) just thinking about buying it and remembered this!!! might not be though checking his feedback he sells a few stihls

  7. just spotted a chap selling one on ebay, brand new in box, selling for his mate..... but its his mates brother who's a tree surgeon.... sounds like a load of codswallop but he wants 400 quid, maybe a little less.... it sound dodgy? does a little but its still a saving? or stay away?
  8. was looking to do that, but i don't think there'll be any 200t's below the 400 mark at the show will there?
  9. just pricing up etc i could get away with spending 80 quid on my saw to get it sorted.... or still to buy new? the above 80 quid would consist of, new piston, crank seals new 14" bar (stihl) and chain what to do?
  10. Recently my 200t has decided to play up approx 5 years old now out of action I have an older 020t which seems ok and still earns money for me (also one other 020t that's a runner and seems ok and another that runs but is for spares) Just wondering whether to plod on with the 020t's or due to the fact they are the tool that gets used the most, buy a new one at the Apf show that's going to last some years and be reliable and flog off the others?? hmmmmmmm??
  11. yes, edd not there anymore, Grahame Watson and Peter Gray as assessors
  12. not sure if you can do this but is it worth putting a price of the 200t for the show on here? or that a no no? i'll be after one but don't want to be pestering thats all Cheers

    Stihl 066

    there needs to be a small gap between the coil and flywheel all your contact points need to be as clean as possible, the flywheel area needs to be nice and clean, the pick ups on the coil also, check ht lead secure in the coil, check good fit from ht lead to the plug top
  18. excellent to see transformation from tree to beams good channel made with the trunk also lol
