  1. So in short: Your quite new vehicle suddenly developed a problem. The dealer hasn't been able to find or fix the problem despite having had ample time to do so. Then their solution is to blame the customer! About par for the course really... I'd harnas them ceaselessly until they've either fixed or replaced your faulty goods. Unless you were told the vehicle wasn't suitable for repeated short journeys either at handover or in the manual, they've not a leg to stand on. Keep at them, if they give any sign of unwillingness to fix or replace, threaten them with legal action. They're wrong, you're right, the end
  2. Heeeelp! I want to remote start a diesel generator. I have a generator that provides mains voltage and battery bank charging. I have a battery monitor with an adjustable relay output that can close the relay when battery voltage gets below a preset threshold and opens again when voltage has risen sufficiently (to a preset level so as to avoid the genny coming on often in short bursts) The signal from the monitor can only power a relay. How do I convert the simple "relay on" to "ignition on, 10 seconds of preheat, 5 seconds of starter"? And then back to all off when the relay contacts open again? Confused... Daniel
  3. John was asked subtly to try and limit his (unintelligible to the uninitiated) ramblings a bit. He didn't see the problem. More people asked him to, a lynch mob formed (as we're all just hiding behind pixels the mob mentality is easily unleashed), unpleasantness ensued, Jon was hurt, and left. It was quite a vile display of lack of tact and understanding.
  4. I had 13 or 15 on mine, mostly 13. I tried a 20 once in time of need, but the saw didn't like it at all. It was not too bad on my 346 so it lived on that for that job (and in the shed ever since)
  5. Not as expensive as foot repair surgery. If they last a year, how many kiwi-bucks/working day do they cost?
  6. I can't wear airstream, too narrow. Bloody boots! You'll just have to take the plunge on some you think may be good, I've found good recommendations for nearly all boots available but very few boots work for me.
  7. He talking complete testicles. I didn't open mine, just took it off, drilled a number of holes through the baffle from the engine side and took a dremel to the outlet to widen the hole. 15 minutes max. As said before the saw will compensate the tune.
  8. I guess it's also down to the wearer. Someone who works for me got 4 years out of the meindls! I didn't get to a year. So i guess part of it is luck, part care, part quality of product and part is in the way you walk, the shape of your feet and how the move and stress the boots, how high you lift your feet when you walk, etc etc etc...
  9. I wear pfanner tirol fighters. They're very solid, the soles can be replaced and they're not too narrow (got wide feet so often have to oversize to fit widthways) I do have sofsole inserts in them, I found the heel area especially lacking in cushioning. They're super comfy with the inserts. Before these I had two pairs of woodwalkers, both of which were comfy but both pairs literally fell apart within less than a year. I won't buy another pair.
  10. My brother had a rexxton for a bit, couldn't recommend one...
  11. Thanks for the update!
  12. I'd reccommend a Fenix Hl60r. It gives oodles of light its rechargeable via usb. The light is a really pleasant colour for the eyes, not blue-ish or yellow-ish, just pleasant. The battery is replaceable! for many such tools they become useless when the battery goes, not this one! It takes a normal 18650 battery (of which you could have some spares with you, or a cig plug battery charger in y'r truck charging one while you use another) You could also power it with disposable type cr123 (often used in camera's) 5 years warranty Aluminium housing, robust as... well a robust thing! waterproof (down to 2m under water for an hour or so) Less than £70.....just Fenix HL60R - 950 Lumen Rechargeable Headlamp with Battery | eBay
  13. So all pins 8-13 are not doing anything for you. I don't know how clever that particular vehicle is though, on some the vehicle diagnostics include the trailer lights. I'd just chop em and see.
  14. The 13 pole plug is for caravans really. The only useful addition is the reversing light. Other poles are permanent +, ignition +, separate earth's for these etc. It's not going to fix the hyperflashing if you change it, but it may solve your random faults. Nearly all weird behaviour of trailer lights is down to bad earth.
  15. Alternatively: find a rock climbing helmet that fits (lots more choice) and fit the adaptor kit that goes on the stein helmets. It does mean drilling a small hole for the bolt but in my risk assessment the benefits outweigh the risk. Then you can fit normal muffs and visor to whatever helmet you choose. https://honeybros.com/Item/Stein_Kask_Euro_Clip_Adapter_Kit
  16. Skyland offer this: CT Climbing Technology X Arbor Helmet Orange which says it squeezes down to 50 cm. I've no experience with this helmet, but it's the only one I've found that goes that small. I've looked a lot in the past for proper kit for my daughters (who aren't petite, just young)
  17. Got some. Thanks for your perseverance in the face of many adversities Steve!
  18. Why would you mirror a picture? I know it's sometimes done to evade copyright issues but that doesn't seem likely here?
  19. .....
  20. Very vertical markings don't suggest ash die back to me? The second picture suggests this isn't a sudden issue. Lightning?
  21. Facts are just that, facts. There's nothing to agree or disagree about facts. We were talking about the USA, where the fact is that vastly greater numbers of people are killed by Christians than Muslims. This fact is in my opinion bizarre enough. Why people of any religious belief would use that as an excuse to hurt others is beyond me. But I don't think singling out one religion or the other and stating the problem is their fault is a solution. Quite the opposite.
  22. Is violence against people (doctors, pregnant women) in the name of a made up God any different to violence against people in the name of a different made up God?
  23. Then allow me to refresh your memory, or educate you a little: Contemporary American Christian terrorism can be motivated by a violent desire to implement a*Reconstructionist*or*Dominionist*ideology.[103]*Dominion Theology insists that Christians are called by God to (re)build society on Christian values to subjugate the earth and establish dominion over all things, as a pre-requisite for the second coming of Christ.[104]*Political violence motivated by dominion theology is a violent extension of the desire to impose a select version of Christianity on other Christians, as well as on non-Christians. After 1981, members of groups such as the*Army of God*began attacking*abortion clinics*and*doctors*across the United States.[105][106][107]*A number of terrorist attacks were attributed by*Bruce Hoffman*to individuals and groups with ties to the*Christian Identity*and*Christian Patriot*movements, including the Lambs of Christ.[108]*A group called*Concerned Christians*was deported from Israel on suspicion of planning to attack holy sites in*Jerusalem*at the end of 1999; they believed that their deaths would "lead them to heaven".[109][110] Eric Robert Rudolph*carried out the*Centennial Olympic Park bombing*in 1996, as well as subsequent attacks on an abortion clinic and a*lesbian*nightclub.*Michael Barkun, a professor at Syracuse University, considers Rudolph to likely fit the definition of a Christian terrorist. James A. Aho, a professor at Idaho State University, argues that religious considerations inspired Rudolph only in part.[111] Terrorism scholar Aref M. Al-Khattar has listed*The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord*(CSA),*Defensive Action, the*Montana Freemen, and some "Christian militia" as groups that "can be placed under the category of far-right-wing terrorism" that "has a religious (Christian) component".[112] In 1996 three men—Charles Barbee, Robert Berry and Jay Merelle—were charged with two bank robberies and bombings at the banks, a*Spokane*newspaper, and a*Planned Parenthood*office in*Washington State. The men were anti-Semitic*Christian Identity theorists*who believed that God wanted them to carry out violent attacks and that such attacks would hasten the ascendancy of the*Aryan race.[113] In 2011, analyst Daryl Johnson of the*United States Department of Homeland Security*said that the*Hutaree*Christian*militia movement*possessed more weapons than the combined weapons holdings of all Islamic terror defendants charged in the US since the*September 11 attacks.[114] In 2015, Robert Doggart, a 63 year old mechanical engineer, was indicted for solicitation to commit a civil rights violation by intending to damage or destroy religious property after communicating that he intended to amass weapons to attack a Muslim enclave in*Delaware County, New York.[115]*Doggart, a member of several private militia groups, communicated to an FBI source in a phone call that he had an*M4 carbine*with "500 rounds of ammunition" that he intended to take to the Delaware County enclave, along with a handgun,*molotov cocktails*and a machete. The FBI source recorded him saying "if it gets down to the machete, we will cut them to shreds."[116]Doggart had previously travelled to a site in*Dover, Tennessee*described in chain emails as a "jihadist training camp", and found that the claims were wrong. Doggart pleaded guilty in an April*plea bargain*stating he had “willfully and knowingly sent a message in interstate commerce containing a true threat” to injure someone. The plea bargain was struck down by a judge because it did not contain enough facts to constitute a true threat.[117][118]*Doggart stood as an independent candidate in*Tennessee's 4th congressional district, losing with 6.4% of the vote.[119]*None of the charges against him are terrorism related.[120][121][122][123] The November 2015*Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting, in which three were killed and nine injured, was described as "a form of terrorism" by Colorado Governor*John Hickenlooper.[124]*The gunman, Robert Lewis Dear, was described as a "delusional" man[125]*who had written on a*cannabisinternet forum*that "sinners" would "burn in hell" during the*end times, and had also written about smoking marijuana and propositioned women for sex.[126][127]*He had praised the*Army of God, saying that attacks on abortion clinics are "God's work."[128]*Deer's ex-wife said he had put glue on a lock of a Planned Parenthood clinic, and in court documents for their divorce she said "He claims to be a Christian and is extremely evangelistic, but does not follow the Bible in his actions. He says that as long as he believes he will be saved, he can do whatever he pleases. He is obsessed with the world coming to an end." There's plenty more by the way... As for your last comment, Trump has acted against the very constitution he's bound to serve only this week. And who or what I am, concerns you not. As for losing the argument? I made a statement, you then pleaded ignorance and thus I've lost the argument? I think maybe you should go find a nice Dr, or a mirror or maybe find some help with family or friends as you appear to be dillusional.
  24. I agree, the vast majority (by over 99%) of crimes against Americans are committed by people that call themselves Christians. Including trump.
