I thought I needed it but I did want it . All I have had is trucks . Habit I suppose .

Yes I had no such problems with my D40 . Don't think it had a DPF ?

Yes mate . Logs from my log stack , towing my splitter , horsey stuff , bales of shaving feed etc .

I have a fairly new NP300 with all the anti pollution gizmos EGR valve , DPF , nox sensor , CAT , another nox sensor in that order from the engine back . This makes it ULEZ compliant and brings the road tax down a bit . Also on it are things IMO that tend to fight against the above . An actual MPG and average MPG monitor and a stop start thing ( which is turn offable ) . On the one hand I am drawn to the MPG thing so try and keep it doing its best average and the stop start turns off every time you halt ( unless foot on clutch or you have turned it off anyway ) Doing this is bad for the other components especially the DPF . It needs to get hot to self clean , the CAT needs to get hot to function . As everything I need is local most of my trips are short . This makes the DPF start to clogg . So I have to drive fairly hard up and down the motorway until it regenerate and the light goes out wasting fuel and polluting . The whole thing turns up its own arse I think . Totally frustrating . The best thing I can do is ignore the MPG monitor , leave it in a lower gear that I normally would ( so it revs a bit higher ) and once a fortnight drive aimlessly up and down the M27 . Thoughts ?

Nope . Not here . Bug splats a plenty on the screen . A few squashed badgers , Deer in the form of Fallow , Roe and Munties . Pheasants and Partridge just starting to appear as the Keepers get their birds but have seen a few " wildies " who are sleeker and shiny with longer tails for a given age . Util the river dried up ( as it does every year ) We had Herons , Egrets and Mallard . Not seen any Shell ducks this year . Oh West Sussex by the way .

Any one got any free milk or cheese they don't want ? I am quite happy to collect from your fridge . Eggs , bread etc etc ...

Out standing !

Its been so long oddly enough I don't 🤥

A party 🙂

How long have you lived in the shire Stevo Baggins ?

I got caught out on a job like that back in the day . I had an 10x8 double axle trailer you could hold a dance in . No chipper . I spent 3 days on it and several trips to the green waste site ( stubbs cops at Arundel ) Rashering it all up with a saw to get as much in as I could , forking it all out took ages with blokes with tippers queued up behind me . On the last day at the green waste tip I lost the will to live . I was saved buy a young bloke With shoulders the width of a barn door , hands like shovels who just wanted to tip up . He could see I was spent and he just mucked it and grabbed huge armfulls and got me cleared . I vowed never , ever again in the world X 10 Amen .

We used to have to clean out the pre filter on our old horse lorry about every couple of months . It filled up with black gunge . Took the tank off and had it steam cleaned . It does not need sunlight .

This has possibly been done in the past to promote new growth to get more cherries ( if it a fruiting variety ) A small cut is put in to the bark , just above an outward facing bud , into the green sap wood and is sprayed with some kind of acid ( can't remember what ) this promotes new growth at the bud and above it making more fruit .

Try Mark Odin of MJO frorestry West Dean nr Chichester .

Didn't Jefferson Airplane ( Grace Slick and Paul Kantna etc ) do a few American protest songs ?

Solar roof tiles do exist .

Thats a neat trick !

PM Steve . Its his site . @Steve Bullman

I suppose not Mark . 👍

You have obviously gone one step further and got out of bed and dissected one 👍

Dunno . I saw on program , " click " I think it was where each roof tile and each flag stone on the path was actually a solar panel .

Not sure about " finding " it but have you tried your local log merchant ?

I did hear somewhere that if you applied these percentage rises to beer it works out at around £50 a pint .

I too wake at a similar time Mick . I too think about pointless shit . I wonder what color the inside of an ant is ?

I do 😁
