  1. I've not encountered this yet. My air filter cover fell off a few times which was annoying so i drilled a small hole thru it and used a cable tie to secure it.
  2. dunno why yer hung up on economy as they will all guzzle a bit when used as intended. I never consider economy as i just keep filling them up and earning.
  3. i not agreeing to anyting!
  4. i kind of disagree as a Cabstar carries weight legally as opposed to better in my not so humble onion. Transit for me as they are cheap to buy and run, spares are so easy to get (the same day usually) and they have a bigger cab fer voluptuous lads loike meself. If i was city working it'd be an Isuzu Grafter i reckon, better turning circle and easier to park.
  5. depends on what you mean, i have a Transit that can physically hold a lot of chip but it would be overweight if i was to do so.... A cabstar and grafter can probably carry more chip legally versus a transit. Your choice as to how you want to play it.
  6. gotta be a Grafter or a Cabstar for city driving and max payload.
  7. great idea but splash thru a puddle or ford a shallow stream and watch all the pollution running down stream as you drive thru. I prefer proper underseal like Waxoyl as it does not wash off easily like old or new enjun oil.
  8. Ok i spoke to Ariens recently and emailed them yesserday. They rang me this morning and they are collecting the 2511 from my nearby dealer (who is only 15 mins away) it'll be assessed at HQ and then they will inform me as to what the next course of action is. So far i have been impressed with the local dealers and Ariens willingness to help out when it comes to issues with kit, 4 years ago they offered me all my money back or a brand new replacement saw after i had a few exhaust issues on my CS360TES.
  9. thas yummy. I tink they have diff locks as standard? There is also this on FB. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/614919932285658
  10. good advice right there.
  11. Mine has migrated outwards and the threads are stripped rendering the saw useless. Apparently it's a known issue and I've spoken to Ariens about it. There may be a solution in the pipeline. Oil keep ye updated.
  12. Annie Mac on Radio 2. Perfect fir me to wobble to as I tinker about with kit in me garage.
  13. look at this madness. https://www.google.com/search?q=&tbm=isch&tbs=rimg:CRkcXBUXsrCIIjiIQPId5yc08doLx2OCKFU9hhsPLxh2kdXO6THjiVDDjaSpaJvh0Su4louUYsyqr6_1NGEcnqYJqUCoSCYhA8h3nJzTxEZZTQTlsrE_1-KhIJ2gvHY4IoVT0RKmHf3jMXNJoqEgmGGw8vGHaR1RG_1yRcchsqQmioSCc7pMeOJUMONEcrGtOH6PjiVKhIJpKlom-HRK7gRrKcg_1tDBj_1EqEgmWi5RizKqvrxF0I4KWkuYMoioSCc0YRyepgmpQEVBRtAoLixMC&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiT8eqNwtrfAhWuxYUKHRYqABwQ9C96BAgBEBs&biw=1366&bih=626&dpr=1#imgrc=oH0Qhn9Eze0DUM:
  14. it amazes me that even when wearing close fitting safety specs the Petzl Vizir and mesh visor that long thin twigs can literally bypass all the eye protection somehow and touch up against your eyeball! 3 defensive layers breached! I have since removed the Pezl Vizir as i don't like it / get on with it.
  15. well following on from my original post, my wife has had 2 more bouts of surgery in 2018 making that a total of 6 procedures in less than 11 years. It will never get any better and the impact it can have on your live is a lot more than we realise as you assume you will recover or adapt and move forwards. Not so in some cases as a form of PTSD can kick in at any time after the event.
  16. glad it came good fer ya. carry on as ya are and ignore the negative posts.
  17. yep i currently have Fedima AT’s on my DRW Transit tipper, they were wearing quite quickly till i realised i was over inflating them. They are rated correctly for the weight and are marketed as a mud / snow tyre. If my Transit had a rear limited slip differential (LSD) then it would be even better allied to these tyres.
  18. i opted fer the Timber Croc in the end, it turned up yesserday and is stihl in the packaging.
  19. show us what ya mean Ste? Anyone else bought a Timber Croc?
  20. glad ya stuck to yer guns as they were clearly trying to mug you off.
  21. looks ideal that, the big old skool power stroke enjun too but i tink thas a 4x2 and not a 4x4? LeeGray has the ideal tow tug it seems. @LeeGray it's a shame the V8 TDI Range Rover is not as good as it sounds on paper.
  22. LOL ya fecker!
  23. wireless remote control too!
  24. @markieg31 didn't you have some sprocket troubles too earlier on this year?
