  1. Probably trying it on. Had a problem with a guy who bought a mobile phone off me, picked up in person, five minutes later he phones and says the phone is damaged and wanted some money back, but wouldn't bring it back to show me, then complained to eBay! Still no evidence so they sided with me. I think at the end of the day it's all sold as seen

    ms660 recall

    Just had the chain break replaced on ours after it melted and fell off! Very bad design
  3. The echo stuff is pretty decent, had a Cs-510 which never went wrong, bought a stihl ms261 which I also rate, but the echo after not being started for a whole year, and without changing the fuel started on the second pull. You can get a cs450 for under £400 if money is a issue
  4. Got one for my boy last month, well built toy! Looks like the smaller version of my ms361 which is a bonus
  5. The flywheel is on it's way out on my transit, it's a 2001 with 171k on the clock so time for a new truck
  6. I thought that when got mine, found they made me feel like I was bouncing as I walked and a foot taller but once they wore in are comfy, almost 2 years old and almost zero wear on them yet
  7. No they closed down about 6 months ago, sold the land to build some houses in it's place, try bradstocks (kimpton)
  8. In Bruges was a brilliant film of his, well worth watching
  9. Very thin, I normally use oregon but used another firms stihl oil and it is like water in comparison
  10. 5 jobs came in since yesterday, all small but it all helps
  11. No-one told amazon they can't sell stihl stuff online
  12. Yup that's an exenco, used to have a road tow one, probably would take 10 inches when sharp

    Breaking Bad

    Great video here, don't watch it if you've not seen them all as is full of spoilers
  15. Not sure if posted this in the right area but just spotted a story about a new piece of trauma kit that's been used to seal a chainsaw cut to stop the bleeding http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-57602482-76/man-and-chainsaw-no-match-for-device-that-controls-bleeding/ it could be a must have for the first aid kit
  16. I've got a 3d slideshow on mine and it works fine on mobiles as isn't flash. Previous incarnations of my site have all had slideshows which worked too. If it's an issue do you have a dedicated lightweight version just for mobiles?
  17. No problem, I like technology as much as chainsaws
  18. I think you're on the wrong forum! But it's press tv, hold down red button and select, type in your tv code then the power off button to check it's worked
  19. I have the same saw and also stopped oiling. It was a worm out worm gear, think the part is only about £7 and easy enough to replace

    Stihl ms261

    Can't fault mine either. Never had to touch it and cuts better than the 260 imo
  21. White plastic screw that drives the oil pump I believe
  22. Had a look at the 540xp at my local dealers today, planning on getting one in the next week or so once get some cheques in as my 200t is getting tired
  23. I've heard that it's not a stinger, but I'm not convinced, if see one, I'm off!!
