Stubby

That will be suckers . Just keep mowing them off , they will give up in the end .

It is now dead as a dead thing !

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 .

No . They wont grow but they wont magically vanish .

Easy Egger . No biggie , you are amongst friends bud .

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 .

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 ?

Its the same where I am Steve . Those little seeds even get in my bed . Its kinda normal for me now .

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 !

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 🙂

If you do do it , in the spring , collect the sap and have drink . 👍

She could always re name the cottage Ex Silver Birch . 🙂

But with the increase in price of electricity that's coming they will be less economical than wet fuel when you consider charging them .

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 .

I see you use the MAP GAS torch also 👍 🙂

You need to seek out the Wise Woman . She knows all . 🙂

Some of the locals from my village have out gathering . Damsons , sloes , blue berries and elderberries . Then we are " cun'rey folk " 🙂

To true eggs me old mucker , to true .

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 ...
