Ha ha I hadn't noticed that one :thumbup: Is the newest type very different from the older emblems

Another question can you still get the name plaques for the 090

Yes there a little too do :thumbup: the other one arrived on Friday its a lot tidier and its 1981 model

Hello and welcome grizzly as others have said great forum this one Goood bunch of people here mate what state are you living

Iam sat here having a beer too jon:thumbup: waiting for a few beer filled comments too come up on ere mate

Seeing the vehicle is so new then it would be unfair of them on that mileage to put it right As TCD said i bought one of the last Td5's in March and I had three months warranty and I had the oil level rise to a serious level spoke to the garage in Exeter and they took it in and they where told it was a crack in the cylinder head near one of the injector seats but they dismissed this and went there own way and said it was the injector tips and they where leaking diesel so they put new injectors in , I collected the Land Rover 10 days ago set the trip too zero and done some local driving nothing much stop start then did a day of trailer work came back in the dark on Monday checked the oil next morning and oil level very high again drained the engine again and out came 10.5 litres of runny diesel oil and I had only done 343 miles so a telephone call and a letter from a good independent Land Rover specialist and it's going in this week and have the head changed they said its cost us £1400 already but I said I've got a vehicle that's not fit for its intent and purposes So beau stick with it and get them to sort it Cheers

But here are some old and new parts

:thumbup:

Here are some photos of my first 090

It gotta be a Hazel one :thumbup:

Thanks for the info I hope its ok I've bought it blind I will be back on with some help when I get it thanks Here is a photo of a bow dar Iam after for my solo twin

this is one of the 090's coming my way but it seems to have a shade darker red top cover is this a way of dating the saw

Thanks Alec that's interesting I' was talking to a chap in Aus trailia about the solo twin chainsaw and he was telling me there was a 090 that had a separate four bolt cylinder head that was very rare

Eddy all those 090's look slightly different and I've seen reference to the 090G what is the the difference is the G similar to the Homelite gear drive Iam intrigued , as I will very soon have some here so gotta know a bit more about them thanks

Iam pretty sure you're right matty , Dolmar have two saws of the same nature the 115 and the 9010 But also if they change them at all then they would have too conform dolmar usa now there line up is a lot slimmer compared too 5yrs ago :thumbup:

What a good question I hope some good answers come out the wood work I for one only know the workings of Dolmar but Iam keen too hear about all others

Very true and buy top grade petrol or aspen and a top quality 2-stroke oil And you should have a hassle free partnership :thumbup:

That's the best way to go bud there's plenty of knowledgeable people on here who've been there bought the right and the wrong thing there will be a wide range of answers guaranteed :thumbup:

Welcome to the forum midge keep on posting

Yes that's a great start :thumbup: well Exeter did win but not a brilliant match Gareth stenson scored all 19 points :thumbup:

Well done stubby and jon good wins today the Chiefs are 13-3 up at the moment :thumbup: Come on you Chiefs

Yes they have been around for years but there heyday in the UK was late 70's up until 90's Before they went to sachs Dolmar the company was flagging in design and sales when sachs engines got involved and redesigned the engines and styling they came alive and with the onset of Dutch elm disease sales went through the roof there where dealerships everywhere then they where sold and as with all change over of business's things slowed down and the old UK importer in Manchester had a agreement with sachs dolmar and obviously kept dolmar coming in but couldn't compete with a new blue dolmar and I presume Makita used the saws design in there colours and pushed makita Outdoor power equipment and Eventually this importer went into liquidation and it all went to makita . But by then all the old dolmar dealers had gone to makita or other brands and didn't need them back , and others have said around this time they weren't the best company to deal with and parts where hit and miss and lead times where weeks not days And if dolmar didn't push there brand then makita defianetly weren't going too when there brand is selling well , and as years go on then things get forgotten about. But luckily in there home country And many other countries The Dolmar brand has kept going strong and they've been able to keep a foothold in the market and develop saws for themselves and makita And hopefully the UK can benefit again from another proven brand to give users what they need in there everyday work Iam in it for the long haul and I want to see them succeed :thumbup: Cheers

No matter what is said the 5105 is a good match , replacement for the 550 :thumbup:

Hello Chris what other saws have you got there :thumbup:

Thanks everybody for your posts I've always had faith in these products and if I can help others get a machine that is suited to what they need jobs a good un !!
