  1. No . It revs freely in 1st and 2nd but tugs back in the taller gears .
  2. So twice I had explained that they are suckers and twice I have said keep mowing / cutting them off and they will give up FFS !

    He means led ? Shooting them ?
  4. Its not been ground out yet . That is flush cut to the ground at the expense of a few chains I recon .
  5. Suckers . Keep mowing them off they will quit eventually . Oh and by the way your Mum will go to prison ! ๐Ÿ˜€
  6. That will be suckers . Just keep mowing them off , they will give up in the end .
  7. From the little bit I can see it may have been a conifer of some sort . If it was then it won't recover from that ! If it was a willow there is an out side chance it would coppice ( sprout from the stump ) but doubtful . A stump grinder will get rid of whats in the photo .
  8. Easy Egger . No biggie , you are amongst friends bud .
  9. The roots wont suddenly go away just because the tree has been taken down . You need some one in with a stump grinder if you want the stump to be gone . The roots will be dead but still there .
  10. A forced regen is what I thought I was doing ? There is a place near me that will take it off , put it in a machine and blast it through with out damaging it . Takes about 20 mins to clean so, an hour or two to remove , clean and replace ?
  11. Its the same where I am Steve . Those little seeds even get in my bed . Its kinda normal for me now .
  12. So , Today I drove from Chichester to Arundel and back then on to Southhampton air port roundabout . Then back to Chi then between Chi and Emsworth on the A 27 3 times . Used a about a third of a tank of fuel and was driving for about 2 hours . There was an improvement , it will rev above 4K in 1st and 2nd but tugs back in the other gears . you can feather the throttle in 6th to eventually get almost 90 m/h but the DPF light has not yet gone out . It might have cleared if I persisted but I got board . Might get it taken off and cleaned in a machiene . Then add some JLM DPF regen plus in every tank full . This slightely raises the exhaust temp to help with keeping the DPF clear . Its designed especially for twats like me that don't go any where !
  13. I find " Deer Hunter " coats very good . I have 3 . One for autumnal weather , one for the south of England " winter " and one for winter at the North poll . This last one gets worn once very 5 years or so . Fine if you are standing still but take a step or two and you are sweating light bulbs .

    Turns out God , why he is just a squirrel , an I shot an eat that sonbith ๐Ÿ™‚
  15. If you do do it , in the spring , collect the sap and have drink . ๐Ÿ‘
  16. She could always re name the cottage Ex Silver Birch . ๐Ÿ™‚
  17. But with the increase in price of electricity that's coming they will be less economical than wet fuel when you consider charging them .
  18. I have done this on my old truck ( 2 trucks back ) It was a filter of some kind imediately after the exhaust manifold . I removed it drilled it all out and replaced it . I also blanked off the EGR . It went a bit better but smelled like an old diesel but of course no electronic warnings on that old one . . If I did what you are suggesting above would it still pass an MOT ( in 3 years time ) and if there was no DPF would not the partials just block the CAT further down the line ? It already has a Tunit box and blue tooth power pedal that sharpens the throttle response and ups it from the stock 190HP to 237HP .
  19. I see you use the MAP GAS torch also ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ™‚
  20. You need to seek out the Wise Woman . She knows all . ๐Ÿ™‚
  21. Some of the locals from my village have out gathering . Damsons , sloes , blue berries and elderberries . Then we are " cun'rey folk " ๐Ÿ™‚
  22. To true eggs me old mucker , to true .
