You don't phone the retailer in this instance IF they are insolvent. You contact your credit card provider and start a claim through section 75 protection.

Unlike credit card purchases, debit card purchases are not covered by section 75 of the consumer credit act (as debit cards are not CREDIT cards) You may have some legal redress under the voluntary chargeback scheme however. But unlikely being a voluntary scheme with very limited liability.

You would be forgiven for thinking this Glastonbury woke fest was organised and sponsored by the BBC

Watched Guns N Roses (think it was last night? on the BBC) and that Axel Rose just cannot sing anymore. Googled afterward thinking it was just me, but quite a lot going on about it and apparently he's ruined his vocal cords- had to cancel some of the tour earlier on this year

Love the fact they needed to arrow mark on your hand which fingers needed re-attaching! 😄

If the return is emitting air back into the tank it must be 'sucking' air in through the fuel pick up...otherwise if it wasn't then you would create a vacuum and the primer bulb would depress and not return once any air in the system has been expelled. If you are sure it is expelling air back into the tank then it must also be sucking it in from the pick up. If not then it doesnt make sense as the air in the primer bulb has to be coming from somewhere. Have you hooked out the pick up pipe in the tank, removed the fuel filter from the end and whilst pressing the primer put you tongue over the end of the pick up pipe....logically you should feel your tongue being drawn into the pipe under light pressure. If not and you are adamant it is still expelling air back into the tank and the primer appears to be operating as it should, then it may have a small pin prick hole in it, which is small enough to be sealed with your finger when primed hence why it still appears to work

I hope not....those that create submarines have very strict processes already. This one was pretty much knocked up in a shed and was declared unseaworthy. The insurance company supplied the CEO a disclaimer report stating all the reasons they wouldn't insure it and it was on his and his passengers own backs if he went through with it. He was on video after being informed of this stating 'where do I sign?' I suppose when you are super wealthy like his paying passengers insurance is an irrelevance. Not as if being off work because you've broken you leg is going to worry their financial situation. A big price to pay tho just for bragging rights at the billionaires top table

Well done. Good job. ...and yes, I like to think so. 😁👍

Correct. I purchased a small local sole trader business to compliment my existing business several years ago. It was worth more to me than probably anyone else as although a small business it was still a competitor in terms of servicing and repair. The trading name. Email addresses, whatsapp id, reviews, logos, both mobile and landline numbers, historical customer data, website etc were all IP and were transferable to me on completion of the sale.

When you say they are worth anywhere between £25 and £110 each, are you looking at something like ebay to come to that conclusion? If so, ignore the 'buy it now' prices as quite obviously if they are still there, then they havent sold...so not worth what is being asked. If using the bay to price something I always look at the 'auctions' not the buy it nows. A genuine auction will generally end at its true worth for that moment in time.

Without wishing to appear demeaning, but taking a 7 year old ms170 worth probably 50 quid to a dealer is simply going to prove its beyond an economical repair for them to look at it. I try as be as tactful as I can with customers in the same situation...particularly those that ask 'is it worth repairing?'. We charge a 30 quid estimate/inspection fee upfront. That way we dont work for nothing and the customer doesnt end up with a bill they dont want to pay. Allows us to assess the machine price the job and contact customer. We do have customers with cheaper or older machines that 'baulk' at the suggestion we want the 30 quid to look at it......to which i simply say 'if you dont want to pay 30 quid for us to find out whats wrong with it, then you certainly wont want to pay more for us to repair it.....to that end you've just made your decision whether its worth repairing'

OK. There may be a remote possibility you have an MS170 fitted with the 'eco' 2-mix engine, which for a limited time was fitted and that did take the CMR6H. Not sure if your handbook is the same as this, but have a look at page 44 and you can see what I mean. Still doesn't help you with your issue, but at least answers why you may well have the CMR6H fitted. https://www.godfreys.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/0458-206-0121-B_ZBA_05_02.pdf

CMR6H is the narrow 10mm plug that is fitted to the MS171 (and others) but NOT the MS170. That and the similar MS180 have the earlier old school engines fitted which DO take the larger (not longer) bpmr7a plugs, so I am confused as you said you have an MS170 not an MS171?? A cmr6h plug will not even fit in an MS170 hole as it will be too small in diameter. So doesn't make any sense I'm afraid. Are your filler caps the white and black flip top ones or the all black screw down ones? Screw down means you have an MS170. Flip top means you have an MS171.

....but it wouldn't have run since the service if it were too long in the reach. You say it has been running with it fitted, so cant be the plug. The point being made if the plug is too long it would foul the top of the piston...hence the symptoms you have.

That is correct.....bprm7a is a short reach plug. Unless that photo is deceiving that plug looks like a long reach. However...I am sure the OP would have said he has just changed the plug and now it doesnt pull over.....surely????

A long reach plug where it should be a short reach? A 'blockage' in the exhaust or intake wouldn't cause those symptoms. If it pulls over perfectly well with no plug in- if it were a hydrostatic lock, then all excess fuel mix would be expelled whilst pulling it over with no plug fitted, so you can discount that. Unless you have a stuck metering valve in the carb and its simply filling the bore with unburnt fuel, and it is filling up so quickly that it is nearly full by the time you have refitted the plug. Do you get shed loads of fuel mix flying out the exhaust port and the plug hole when you pull it over?

They corrode if left with grass build up. If cleaned immediately after use they will last pretty much forever. We have harriers that have been looked after coming in for annual service still from the early 80s. Honda polymer decks are generally good, but do become brittle with age due to exposure to uv light

....and buy a spares 400 quid gearbox for it, as thats models achilles heel is drive failure on the roller models. Notoriously difficult and expensive to repair. You want a mower to last 50 years with little to go wrong and build like a barn dood.....find a decent used Hayterette. Ok he will have to push it and rake up the cuttings, but only mower i have ever dealt with that i guarantee will last that long....even when abused

...and in future pretty much zero resale value of battery stuff. Unlike petrol. Ok, I accept once it written down most companies aren't interested about selling used stuff on as it owes them nothing, but for sole traders, man in a van type guys, being able to make some money on your used kit if you have upgraded, or indeed, on the flip side being able to purchase a good used bit of kit given the price of the stuff new is very appealing if there's a healthy supply on the used market......but just a quick search through 'the bay' tells you pro used battery stuff ain't selling. Why would you risk spending several hundred quid on a used pro spec battery saw, when there's no telling if the battery will last a day, a week or a fortnight and it cost more than you paid for the machine to replace it. Peoples confidence in used battery stuff starts at time of purchase. They say to me 'As long as the battery will last me three years or so that's fine' I am getting a lot of people with two, three, four year old stuff and they absolutely accept 'the battery is probably on its way out' so they are already resigned to the fact it's probably scrap. They expect them to fail......I cannot remember the same being said to me over petrol stuff. Ever.

Agree with both above. Ironically 'the best of both worlds' is actually corded electric.....lighter than both petrol and battery. Will run as long as petrol, more powerful than battery, virtually zero maintenance, with total reliability- it will either work or it won't- no halfway house like petrol. Cheaper to purchase than both petrol or battery. Only downside is your power source and attachment to it thereof.

........we have probably a dozen on our books that are still in annual use for the weekend warriors.

As with a lot of model specific 028 stuff it's obsolete now. Part number you need is: 1118 021 1104 You won't probably find a new one, but used shouldn't be an issue. If you get the chance of a chainbrake band at a low price, then get one of those as a spare. The 028 had a habit of snapping them, and they have been obsolete for a long time now.

That reminds me of tommy cooper. 'Doctor.....it hurst when I do that' 'Well don't do that then' 'Doctor I've broken my leg in two places' 'Well, don"t go to those places then'

Yes....think of a Vauxhall Nova with an exhaust with an outlet the diameter of a baked bean can.
