  1. Prop carrier bearing or universal joint on prop?
  2. I like it, seems to last much better than others, don't seem to have problems with it gripping
  3. Very nice mix of colours and pattern there. Nice one
  4. I fecked my chain that came with it on the second day with it. Caught in a chog and got bent. So been on either maya or rotatech since and never had it come off at all. Don't know what would cause this?
  5. Aye just flog it and get a echo 360t new with the money. You probably have change also. That or send yer 200 to spud
  6. If the 460 is for sale please give me a shout. Ta
  7. I found bfg all terrains to be among the best for mixed driving. Cooper sst or stt ( forget which) have been excellent off road and pretty good on road, as have bfg ko's. Insas are like driving on ice!
  8. That's mint. What's other side like?
  9. Aye, will be ordering a newie but needs must, have work tomorrow and I'm an hour's drive from gusrharts
  10. Yeah that sombrero looks dead handy
  11. Matty is it better than ventex? Last as well?
  12. My heart sang with joy today as my kask helmet has broken for the final time. Naturally I supposed that the screws which hold the ear bits to the helmet at worked it's way out (despite the locktite) for the millionth time, however i was exhilarated to see the Ear piece snapped where the threaded bit goes into. I shall delight In not replacing this part and getting a newie. Back to the 2003 ventex for now. F.o kask
  13. I have a lwb syncro 4x4 transporter t4 for sale if your interested? I can measure it up for you if you want. It's the 2.5tdi (think remapped to 130/140bhp). New: engine, head, turbo, injectors, discs, pads, hoses, ecu, viscous coupling (New discs inside also), timing belt, vacuum solenoid, spare wheel, keys, locks,rear wheel bearings, shocks, poly bushes, ball joints, drop links, diff oil, engine oil, filters etc. (Spent a fortune on it as if was going to keep it forever!) Totally mint underneath (Irish import so no salt), waxoyled well. Bit tatty on outside but no serious rust at all just a bit bubbling, scratches etc. It's done 175k ( engine hasn't, still had over marks when changed) and is y reg. Owes me 6k in ( no labour), prolly would take a bit less but not much or id keep it. Drives very very well ( can do all hills in 3rd). Has very decent bfg AT's Sorry (Not sorry) for shameless ad!
  14. Think chainsawbars.co.uk do them
  15. Pics?
  16. Permanent marker?
  17. False. The clutch on the 076 was engaged and the whole saw was being driven by the 084. When you start milling you are correct, the 076 clutch does not engage but after it has engaged it won't disengage until both saw revs drop.
  18. Sure you are correct Rob, when I used a 076 which is a chugger and the 084 when we paused milling and I let go of the throttle on the 076 often the revs didn't go down at all and it sounded like it was screaming. It was very hard to tell what was going on tbh as it's all pretty loud! I ended up feeling it was prob safest to pair similar saws....i.e I would be happier with a 660 and 084 or 2x 076/ 075 /090 /051 etcs
  19. Just went to sharpen a chain from them after a mornings cutting. Rivets not been peened. Wtf.
  20. Not a t2 but pretty decent https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/mercedes-207d-autotrail-apache-motorhome-2500ono/1294641929
  21. Mine was scruffier and done 670,000km and I got it for £1650 no mot and not converted. Sold it for £5k after conversion. If it was was tidy I could see a Merc bus properly converted making more than 7k...... Worth checking gumtree eggs, some. Bargains on there from time to time.
  22. Shit the bed. Sorry about that eggs..... still more fish in the sea.
  23. Honestly Greece has gone to the dogs. Just full of nasty beaches and horrid blue sea. Got 19 to 23mpg but was a 4 speed auto and on the weigh bridge we were a little over 6tonne. So depending on what you get might not be comparable.
  24. That's my 811
  25. You'll not feel mad when you get it parked up on a beech like this eggs
