  1. Try contacting Rowena Motors www.rowenacarbs.co.uk they are stockists of Zama carbs etc
  2. Not the bar studs, the screws that hold the 2 halves of the plastic case together on battery saws
  3. What do people use to repair Husqvarna plastic case screw holes when the screw keeps turning ?
  4. Probably a blockage in one of the tiny holes in the carburettor, will need a strip down and clean....is there a make and model number of carburettor ?
  5. I'm in my late 50s and have early stage, will end up having to pay for the treatment to slow down the condition at some point in the next few years...cannot rely on the NHS for treatment on this one...
  6. radiotherapy is another option in earlier stages, have a look at the this website and also the work of Dr John Glees https://dupuytrens-society.org.uk/treatment-2/dupuytrens-disease/radiotherapy-treatment/ it runs in families as well as being aggrevated by occupation...
  7. found this https://www.labc.co.uk/news/foundations-clay-soil the section "The trouble with trees" worth reading, if I was fighting this one I'd probably reference this
  8. Mark, have you got free legal advice on as part of your own home insurance ? From what your post says - the engineers report says the foundations are insufficient...Have the engineer or arborist dug or core drilled any holes in the ground to substantiate aspects of their reports ?
  9. My house is on a concrete raft not strip foundation, I'm talking about the tree not having any effect in my own situation, cracks are small and not subsidence cracks...
  10. My own house is on clay as well, although in recent years cracking is worse...it is not significant and I have a large horse chestnut close to the house...tree is not having any effect
  11. I'd be interested to read the arborist report, tree roots remove moisture from the soil...the further the distance from the house perimeter the ground inside the house gets drier from my experience...the trees roots spread as far as it needs to, to provide anchorage and to search for moisture, nutrients etc...soil types make a difference and other local conditions make a difference...some of these long dry periods we keep experiencing are causing a lot of soil shrinkage and very wide cracking of the soil, my own location seen 1-2 inch soil cracks... houses built on strip foundations bound to experience issues...has any crack monitoring been installed and the situation been monitored over a year or 2 ? Very easy to just blame the tree...
  12. I run a husqvarna pro battery chainsaw and pole saw, (since 2017) both are great cutting stuff less than 10 inch...reasonable performance and battery life...once you step over 10 inch performance and battery life tails off... they get used more than my petrol saws and tend to grab these first...I do like the quietness, less vibration, no fumes etc...But I think it will be a while before a battery saw performs as well as a 50cc pro saw.
  13. THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

  14. Also don't forget it is a conservation area - that means completing a notification of proposed works to trees in a conservation area form and submitting that to your local planning authority.
  15. Someone owns the land, the land registry does not contain a record of every peace of land...many pieces of land are un-registered and ownership still relies on papre deeds. It is the land owners responsibility, the council will only act when the owner cannot be easily traced if it is a danger to the general public in a public accessable area. Most councils have a tree officer who deals with any tree issues in public spaces, try contacting them for advice.
