  1. Just found Mark Bolam's post so oil keep trying!
  2. Ok i was cleaning everything and decided to remove said spring as it was 'gunged up' and the starter cord return action was a bit lazy. Spring needed to be scarped clean as it was minging. Now i'm struggling to re-install the spring and i cannot find anyting on here or YouTube that would aid me in the way of pics or a video. Tanks in advance, Ken.
  3. got there in the end, i just had to 'buy some more patience' off of Ebay ! tank yew all.
  4. CRV's have been known to have UJ's fail at around 50,000 miles, as the UJ is a 'stake fit' type it is a big hassle to get the pins pressed out and suitable replacement aftermarket UJ's accurately welded onto the shaft etc. Honda like to tell you this and charge you £1,400 for a complete new rear drive shaft plus fitting. I however have found a place that sells an aftermarket version (tink it was £230 delivered) that comes with circlip replaceable UJ's and grease nipples already in place where as the OE Honda UJ's do not incorporate these features. Also watch out for front half shaft failure (£1,200 approx) and the rear diff breather is badly designed on some models (ours was on a 56 plate) which allows water ingress which requires the diff oil to be drained off and flushed out a couple of times, they may have modified the breather by now though. The 2.2 Diesel is a peach though, 6 speed box and it is quite frugal.
  5. have ya booked that climbing course yet ? did mine at 40 and love it.
  6. tink i got this sorted ! drilled a 10mm hole as i didn't have any bigger bits !!! pic to follow.
  7. Hi all, since my top handled saw is on the bench in bits i'd like to mod the zorst as it's the more silenced version as fitted to some 200T's and i think it may be a simple case of getting the dremel out and cutting some metal away? Any links or pics to this procedure please as i'm struggling to find any. Tank yew all kindly, W.

  14. i have a customer that is looking at hiring out a tow along Wallenstein petrol powered log splitter (or such like). I don't have access to a tractor so a PTO splitter is out of the question. Any one know of places that hire out kit like this?? Thanks everyone, Ken.
