:laugh1: No wonder I weigh what I do.

Yes, we do, in fact it's all we eat. Use the 'No Knead' method, so simple its stupid

Blacksmiths Stake tool. They are more typical as a 'stake anvil' - a small anvil normally with a specific purpose that can be driven into a log. Lots of different types for amour making and thin plate metal beating. This one looks more like a cut off tool - a 'stake cut-off' if you like.

We bought a Def TD5 second hand, ex utilities, at 60k miles. By the time it hit 90k all the big stuff started to go. Ran a Merc E class from 178k miles to 230k miles, I rebuilt ALL the suspension and brakes, bullet proof motor and box but then the ABS pump goes, aircon pump goes, windows drop and won't come back up, SRS airbags show red light on dash... still did 55 mpg at 95 mph but all too expensive to sort and pass the test. At the end of the day you get to about 100k miles and all sorts of stuff starts to fail depending on how well it was made and how well it was treated subsequently.

He's a joke; Staunchly anti nuclear for years, Fukushima occurs and he goes staunchly pro nuclear overnight. There's a pattern to what he writes and when as this recent flood event shows. Regardless of what one thinks of the issues, anyone who flip flops from one strong opinion to the polar opposite so often... No thanks George

Yes, I use one of those along with a hitch lock. I think its OK for a trailer and ticks a box on the insurance requirements etc. but for an expensive chipper or plant...

Great thread Mick. Agree with you and Ty, but then I live here too:001_rolleyes:

More likely half your arm:lol: Best not to let a toddler work it:thumbup1:

In the summer to fire a pizza oven. Autumn and spring a small wood burner, winter to fire up from cold an Esse Ironheart then once the oven is hot switching to cord wood. Has meant we can stretch an arctic load of cord another couple of seasons - not to be sniffed at. I fully accept however you need to be an enthusiast or hard up to go to the effort. Don't think you would easily sell nets to the local pub as firewood for instance:001_smile:
-
You could do what I did and import a basic unit from Poland and build your own. Would not be without it now. Since this vid I have added a screw splitter on the back for cord wood and cover plates on the input/output of the muncher mech. when the splitter is in use.

Having just scrapped a high mileage Merc with a pre heater but without a DPF, the heater helps engine wear but still only works ONCE the engine is running. Mercs have DPF issues too!! You are confusing two different issues.
-
Their selling it !!!!! Are you for real with this post?
-
To add a heater to this generation of diesel engine suffering a DPF issue is to NOT understand the issue of DPF regen. You will indeed have a nice warm engine, but that does not make a nice HOT dpf. The Webasto heaters are an old world solution to old world diesel engines long before DPF's were ever thought of - work well on old 90's diesel's with mechanical pumps but not on new common rails with DPF. The issue of engine wear on a cold start is entirely different to DPF issues. But WTF do I know.
-
Ah, I see. I thought you were asking for feedback on what you posted, I did not realise you expected us to do our own google research to answer your question. If you had already done that research yourself then why ask the question? The left/right thing is really not relevant, is it? You asked a question regarding your media postings. Don't know where the "tin hat" thing comes in but what ever floats your boat...
-
Sounds like the perfect justification for some skilled immigration I would not draw any conclusions from that list (with the exception of the nurses) until all figures were checked and cross referenced with industry sources or trade bodies directly. The media lie one way or another to suit their agenda at any moment in time.

He's got his mandate to go 'balls deep' (other peoples obviously) on Syria now. Remind me who said "wars a racket"?

It was a metaphor.

Not if you've got a plugged up DPF due to it expecting to get an active REGEN and that box has stopped it. The back pressure will just build up. It's a band aid on a septic toe... BTW, I got the message WW.
-
That figures. The Euro 4 system was an open loop DPF i.e no sensors monitoring the DPF, it just relied on a burn off cycle based on usage, it could generally be removed without issues. From about 2010 when Euro 5 came in The DPF went closed loop i.e sensors monitoring the pressure in front of and behind the DPF. When a set pressure differential figure is met it goes into active REGEN, dumping the diesel which finds its way into the sump. Your trips are too short causing the DPF to clog and require another active REGEN. I am surprised given you tow a trailer but given it working harder will cause more soot another REGEN does make sense - still seems like a design fault to me.
-
Sounds like the well documented problem to do with ACTIVE DPF regen in Euro 5/6 vehicles. Seems to affect some vehicles more than others. From what I have been reading the excess injected fuel (intentionally injected to cause REGEN) leaks past the rings, as expected, and dilutes the oil. You will need to change the engine oil PDQ otherwise it leads to engine problems. Sounds like you have a DPF issue... But then you knew that already:thumbdown:

I'm a convert. Although I would still use a large conventional handsaw for cutting a joist, I have moved over to Jap pattern saws for bench work. Have an Irwin that works well although it has lost its initial edge slightly, possibly due to me cutting 15cm oak beams with it Recently bought a small model in Lidl with two different blades that can be swapped over - really good for detailed work, lovely finished cut and the pull rather than push action has helps with accurate cuts. I bought an arborist Silky that has lost its initial razor edge after one season of light use so I would personally not lay out a huge sum of money on one but then I see saws more as a consumable, rather than say a good chisel which should last a lifetime and is worth the investment but thats just me. Try one

Wow, I missed Cameron give that corker of a speech:laugh1: but then I don't listen to a word any of them say anymore. I am of course assuming you are quoting him directly... BTW, Voila sounds best when spoken with a really condescending tone, the way a school teacher would pronounce it when speaking to a pupil:biggrin:

Not meant in an insulting way. The immortal Jesse Ventura lines "Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me." and "This place makes Cambodia look like Kansas." followed by "Ain't got time to bleed..." Ring any bell? Sorry OP for the thread creap
-
Thanks for the apology Mr Johnsonmbe. No Lasting trauma, I found it amusing and still do hence mentioning it - I had a mental picture of you at the time as a cross between that 'Ranger Rick' character out of the film Avatar and Jesse Ventura's character in Predator:lol:
