  1. Neat as a neat thing though Mark .
  2. Priceless ( pardon the pun Kev ) 😀
  3. I will put neat fuel in one and run it for a bit and if it nips up I will send it to you 😀
  4. Thats what I meant . She is not always a good manager .🙂
  5. I take your point but it was not dug , it was a natural pond to begin with .
  6. I think , on occasion , that nature can be a bad manager . I am talking in terms of a " wild " pond . I have spent many an hour digging out the silt and cutting back the reeds on a neglected pond to promote duck life . The building of a nesting island in the center . If left to nature it would have silted right up and be covered with reeds and end up with no pond and no ducks ducks .
  7. I heard that they don't sting like our hornets but slash rather than penetrate .
  8. 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 .
  9. That Caribou earned its keep ! Fascinating story . What a total pisser in the end . Good watch . 👍
  10. Quite a lot of different news outlets on youtube saying the Ukrainians have pushed the Russians back .
  11. Yep . I saw that . Just hope the ground they have recovered they can keep .
  12. 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 .
  13. You can even hear the change in engine note at tickover when the AC cuts in .
  14. 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 ) .
  16. 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 .
