Treemover

To be totally honest the "car play" feature is over rated. I was going to buy an Alpine digital radio unit for half the price. My only advice is to buy a unit that comes with an external mic. You might be better buying a digital radio, but just check that it also has FM radio, some do. In the past i always had to faff with cutting and crimping all those leads. Being able to get the right connectors makes figment a virtual plug and play. I never knew there was a different aerial plug and had to buy an adapter for the aerial.

Hi Tom, I shelled out on a pioneer Sph da 120 for the jeep as its double din. The Bluetooth hand free is spot on. I'll certainly be fitting something with Bluetooth hand free into the Volvo l70 in a few weeks. I had a parrot kit in my second last vehicle and it would often disconnect : I found the Nokia system better; but car radio systems seem to tick all the boxes!

I like the concept of the battery top handled saws; however it's price that's holding me back. Might buy the Ms 150 tce until prices drop.

Hi Geoff, so sorry to hear about your dad passing on. By the sounds of you and what you said about your dad; I imagine you two were a right pair. I'm useless about these things, so hats of to you for at least having a laugh.

Excuse my ignorance here, but just trying to fix it myself! Lower spring mount in anti vib broke so I glued it back using a heat gun. Hope it lasts, not sure there was room to drill a bolt; but that's my fall back. Getting the handle off, I pulled out what I think is the pipe that Ts from the tank with a breather up through the black handle? Has anyone any photos or diagrams of the tank etc? I just noticed when I refilled the saw; it went everywhere!! I guess the best way is remove air filter assembly and carbs?

Anybody see it? I thought it was fantastic; but if I was one of the three after that cold and wet late shoot; a hot meal at 10pm should have been a certainty. I cannot see that Ginger tosser being anyway near Clarkson's witty delivery. It was a fantastic episode and I haven't laughed as much in a long time. Some how I don't think the saying "the King is dead; long live the King" could be used here. I think this is a case of when your super car breaks down and the only option is a cheap rental. Sad it's come to this. Terrified of what's to come. I just hope Jeremy has a new show in the pipeline.

TPO's are closely linked to planning; this is why in Ireland at least I find what planners allow to be such a joke, especially seeing what planners allowed and caused with tree decline. I don't agree that TPO'S are the solution along with bs 5837 in that it's a great bandaid. I think the framework is there, which is the difficult part; but it's how it implemented that's key; and how issues can be addressed. Hearing people say tree officers are next impossible to locate and their points are not accurate or adopting common sense is a huge worry. My take is that appeals should be easier to make, and rules should take into account the difference between those that live by a tree to those flipping property. I totally agree that there has to be a safeguard in place. I will always act in my clients best interest. Sadly the tree comes second.

I'm Ireland it's a rarity to find a tree with a TPO, especially privately owned. However to find up if a tree has a TPO, seems like a quest. The person with the answer is either out sick or on leave. No colleague can check!! I like the theory, in that it is to help preserve trees of merit or value. But I do feel it can be utilised where it can become a huge headache for the landowner. I think one process that could certainly help is making the process easier to navigate, but also giving the tree owner more control. I think the councils hold too much authority at present. On the other foot I do feel it is grossly unfair, when legislation exists where anyone can TPO another parties tree; but yet there's no mirror legislation to deal with high hedges or neighbouring trees (in conflict). I think if we had a better system in place to deal with such issues, maybe the "tree" issue would be less. One thing for sure, we are certainly not planting the right trees in the right places. I see Irish planning as a joke, allowing structures right up beside ancient trees and then vast green areas.

What remains to be seen is if Jeremy really was the main draw. For me, it was. I don't know if hiring big names will work. They either have to reinvent the show, or just find replacements. For me I watch fast and loud, wheeler dealers, and fifth gear. I think Tiff is a hoot, and the show could give top gear a run for its money. I'm more interested to see what Clarkson does. I don't have net flicks but I guess it will be rolled out on other channels. I find Richard Hammond annoying on tg, I know he plays the part; but when he's himself ie driving and discussing a car- he's first class. But as a clown I'm just not interested. James May is ok, but I think Clarkson was the real talent. The Stig (is it Ben Collins) was interviewed recently on Irish radio. He said Oisin was a gentleman. But he also said Top Gear was out long before JC and that it would continue as it had a very talented young crew. I'd agree, but out of all the talent out there, looking at young and old racing legends; Olympians, there must be talents far more capable than Chris Evans. What's the name of the Scottish comedian? Kevin Bridges watching him is a hoot, and hearing him test high end cars would be epic!!

I don't like the guy. Watched tgi Friday; but never liked Chris nor his technique. I know he's a massive Ferrari collector but that doesn't wash with me. I think a fresh start would be better. I'd rather watch new presenters who love cars, petrol etc. Guy Martin would get my vote. I'll probably watch the show regardless, but whether I'll enjoy it, remains to be seen. Not looking forward to the smug ginger tosser.

You shouldn't have said anything. You could blame the weather, the neighbours, the dog, cat.

What's so good about it?

I agree with above, hard to accurately diagnose over the Internet; however we can discuss possibilities? I'd imagine an insect would attack buds so that could be the answer; But I also notice a utility marker and if the tree had its root plate damaged over the last 5-8 years; that might only be playing out?

Cheers Paul

How much?

Anyone know the torque settings for the bolts holding the knives? No manual to refer to! Cheers

What about Poland? I know guys that are buying chains for half the price I pay here in Ireland? I know when I lived in Alberta Canada, I could buy a Honda quad for thousand less; but then the dollar was $2 to the punt.

It was neglect that caused the issue. I ploughed on and never noticed the split hose up to decomp - yes she's auto. As far as I know, everything except the outer orange shell is new. Saw even went to husqvarna in Dublin as after rebuild she wouldn't run?? I don't want to be a pain constantly returning to dealer, but for €500 I do expect the saw to run like new. And she was a great saw previous. Such a fan, that's why I threw money into her rather than go for newer auto tunes?? I'll take her back and see what they can do. Oh as far as I can tell she was pressure tested? But if she goes bang again; I don't want to be told it's my fault when I paid for expert labour and genuine parts.

I had same issue, took of exhaust and threw it on bbq to burn off soot. Ran spot on after

Gave my 357xp in for a tune and was told it was knackered due to lack of compression. I was shown the scores on cylinder and given another saw to pull to feel the difference. I was told €400 would replace piston and cylinder but ended up with a €500 bill. I figured the old girl was better than the newer stuff? After getting saw, when hot, she was running a tad fast on tick over or rather was slow to drop to tick over. Chain would stay turning. Brought her back to dealers and they couldn't find same issue but did lower idle as she was running a tad fast. Now she's a pig to start when warm? I'm not happy with my dealer, and tbh loosing faith in husky stuff. It can take 4-6 pulls to get her going when warm?

Im yet to be educated on all this, but heres my ignorant theory. Modern diesels with egrs, if the egr system is faulty or the vehicle is doing short runs, this can cause the engine to foul up. Happened my landcruiser. Resulted in lots of smoke and engine with a chest infection (stick with me here). I blanked off the egr having looked at it, and its a simple job on the landcruiser (just at the side of the block). Within mins, the engine started to run smoother, and with less emmisions and smoke. Now Im not saying we should all be blanking off these egr units; but when they are faulty, they can cause more harm than a vehicle without one. I dont know if petrol is any better? Personally, I think we should be using hybrids, and that might be utilsing a diesel engine? But a hydrogen unit would be ideal- if we could make hydrogen? Or go back to gasification? Be handy for our business??

Some walnuts

Glasnevin Dublin. Somebodies back garden. Saving trees where house is being extended.

Expensive stuff to put through a 2 stroke Jetski?

Never thought of the no noise; be real handy for deadwooding. If they came with a solar charger that would be brilliant?
