Having a bit of trouble with the stihl km130 head unit, struggles to run on idle and sometimes over revs

does anyone know how to reset the factory settings? I have a feeling the groundy tried to fix by fiddling with all available switches and dials, haha

cheers

took it to garage, looks like its the gearbox, truck is jumpy when not moving and 1st gear selected, drives ok when at speed through other gears though.

anyone know who to try for 2nd hand 98 navara gearbox? in or around east sussex/kent?

so looks like its the gearbox thats gone on my navara tipper 4x4 and not the clutch, either way Im buggerd

does anyone know of a decent hire company in the south east UK, that can hire transit trucks (tipper a bonus) for a short period of time?

any help appreciated

after doing a few heavy loads with trailer about 20miles ive noticed a grinding sound, can be felt through clutch pedal, feels rough to dip and release clutch whilst driving

few questions:

1. am I ******? is it going to explode soon?

2. how long have I got before it needs to be fixed, (have a few jobs to do very soon need to know if ill be safe

3.what would you do? fix asap or can it be done in a week or so?

4. what should I be looking to pay for fix?

thanks in advance

That time again for new tyres, front two are dangerously bald, rear aint too bad, but want a full new set.

Im currently running General Grabber AT TYRES SIZE 215/65 R16

question is im after cheap as possible, suitable for on and off road, I can get the same tyres im on now for £101 fitted each, is there anything else out there or any thing else you guys can suggest?

Thanks

Tom

thanks guys, anyone else?

from this old fencing to this, customer insisted on using old posts some of which were out of level and not all same height, hence small bump in the finished level still, looks better than before

Alright guys, looking for the best way to put down some astroturf, approx 4m x 5m

some say just wack down MOT type 1 hardcore, others say nail together a frame out of 2x4 lengths, lay on area and fill with hardcore, wack down to level of frame.

Its only for a customers dog, so low quality astro turf is fine, already purchased.

anyone done something similar? I know there are youtube videos but Im after tried and tested methods from you guys here

thanks in advance

Thanks guys, im located in Bexhill East Sussex

Ideally looking to buy but hiring may be the 2nd best option ha

Burytreeman - Could you ask about for any 2nd hand models?

will continue to search ebay, any other sites or locations I could try?

have 1000m2 or old turf to rotavate to allow for new turf to be laid, dont fancy hiring one, can anyone recommend a decent heavy duty self propelled one? new or used

thanks

tom

Give me a call, S.C.B Tree Surgery and Garden Services, if you are still looking that is, im based in Bexhill

thanks for the replys guys, think im going to spray to kill off, then rotavate it, removing old turf is just too costly, especially due to access down tight country lanes and the way the garden is set out.

quote sent, just waiting on approval!

customer has asked for over 1000 square meters of old grass to be replaced with high quality turf, just wondered if any of you had idea's on how bes to proceed, I would just get a diger in, strip off old turf, spread few " top soil then turf.

any other options to consider?

ISO 32 should do

thanks mate ill get some ordered!
