  1. I heard that they don't sting like our hornets but slash rather than penetrate .
  2. The MS400 is highly rated by folks on here . Although I am predominately Husqvarna man I would have one if I was in need of that size saw . They say its like a slightly bigger Husky 562 .
  3. That Caribou earned its keep ! Fascinating story . What a total pisser in the end . Good watch . 👍
  4. Quite a lot of different news outlets on youtube saying the Ukrainians have pushed the Russians back .
  5. Yep . I saw that . Just hope the ground they have recovered they can keep .
  6. Sometimes ash can make that build up on the chain that you have there . Not saying this is the problem but it can't help . Also I would never let a new saw idle for a tankful " to bed it in " . This is more likely to glaze the bore . Just use it without abusing it and vary the speed a bit .
  7. You can even hear the change in engine note at tickover when the AC cuts in .
  8. No , the oil did actually need changing the code when checked on the OBD port said oil degradation . Apparently the computer monitors the condition of the oil . It was just a coincidence that the DPF light came on a couple of days after the oil change code . And yes I think you would need a " launch " code reader to clear the codes .

    Queen

    I will be sad for a bit when she goes . I was present at her coronation ( but don't remember it as I was in a pram ) . All I have ever known is the words to the tune " God save the Queen . I suppose we shall have to learn God save the King ( or what ever you think he is ) .
  10. Ok . Problem resolved and I have learnt something about my truck . Apparently it wont do an automatic re gen if the oil needs changing and/or if there is a quarter of a tank of fuel or less . So me razzing it up and down the motorway last week was a waste of time and fuel . Would have worked if the oil had been changed first . So had the oil and filter changed and a forced regen on a machiene in the workshop . Was advised to do a trip once a week of 40 odd miles or more . Anyway its going like a Goodun again .
  11. Third night of thunder storms here in the South Downs .

    Energy Bills

    When my old Dad died the solicitor said " with your allowance , your dead Mums allowance and your Dads you can have up to one million free of inheritance tax . I just assumed that was the limmit .
  13. You can still wear the orange braces though Steve . Proper cool; !
  14. When I have not got my data switched on I get a wattsapp notification when I am about 200yds from my house . Thats with Sky .
  15. Could be the flywheel magnets are becoming tiered . Not common but have heard of it .
  16. It could be when the wind is driving at the ridge it bounces back at the stack causing the blow back . I am sure if you extended it to above the ridge it would be ok . .
  17. I would sooner have the Laylandii . The oak takes so long to season and burns real slow .
  18. Well coppie , you could be onto something . When I switched it off yesterday it was still displaying the symptoms I described above . I have just driven to Midhurst and back for no reason other than to do some more DPF clearing and it was spot on right from the start . It seems to have , over night , regained all of its 237 dobbins . The DPF light is still on but it performed faultlessly ! It is having an oil change and filter this week so I will ask him to clear all the codes then . I will adopt a different style of driving . Rather than squeaky pinch on the mpg I will leave it in one or maybe 2 gears lower for a given speed than I would of done in my old D40 nav . Tried a bit of this just now and to be honest it did not seem to make much difference to the mpg reading . Fingers crossed .
