I had 2 broken front springs on the Berlingo. They are big springs and notorious for letting go in the wind up compressors so I invested in a foot operated hydraulic one for £110 and it was still cheaper than getting them done at a garage. It's done a few now so not been wasted. On the advisories front a friend of ours used to have a used car lot and when he took cars for the MOT he told the tester not to put advisories down or he would be swapping garages. He put a fair bit of money their way so they were reluctant to lose his trade.

I've had mine for a while and the brake and everything work fine. The plastic's a bit tacky and the carb has been sorted out a few times as it used to go out of tune but it's good now.

That's what Jonathan Ross calls common people.

It's called table tennis if you are serious about it They make bats as well. If they'd had the top handles on ebay earlier I would have got one instead of the Chinese one I bought.

Once our fire is lit it doesn't make smoke and if there is any it goes up the chimney with the draw from the warm air. I rattle the ash into the bottom pan then lift it out and put the box I made over it so it doesn't get in the house. I use a little rechargeable vacuum for the hearth and tip it all on the garden and dig it in.

Snowing here and settling, wet stuff though 😝

Is biomass usage sustainable and as green as it is made out to be?

Common sense says it, one rule for them and another for us. -
A loose tie wrap round the handle works

Are the saws the same apart from the thickness of the con rod little end ? You could try a couple of 1mm washers either side of the little end bearing but it might be fiddly getting them in there.

Husqvarna 435 cylinder/ piston fault or something else?
peatff replied to DaveyCrockett's topic in Chainsaws
I had one do that and it had the cleanest carb anywhere till I tried another coil. Very perplexing. -
You want to scrap the old clunker that got stuck, I'd offer to take it off your hands but you're too far away 😷

Ms 150 shaking starts well but judders at the tip.

I don't take my saws to the tip, it's probably nervous 😱 -
I had to strip and clean the carb on a Chinese top handle that had chain oil in the fuel tank. It was like glue in the metering side and it smoked like a goodun for a while after it started but it was fine after it settled down.

I bought some of the Northern Arb 3/16" files and they seem fine for the amount of use I give them.

Zinc passivating can be gold, commonly used to extend shelf life.

Happy Christmas everybody 🌲

I have a BSA .177 Cadet that must be 70 years old. It was my dad's and I used to shoot with it when I was a lad, 68 now. I made a new leather piston washer for it a while back and it's still a good gun.

Air Arms S410 .22 with scope, moderator and a gun slip, spot on accurate from rested shot. R10 look nice rifles.

I think like that as well, it's a ride out and a distraction. I went to Sleaford and picked up an air rifle a couple of weeks back and it was the highlight of my year. 🤕 Sad innit ? I shot ratman's cousin yesterday which also brightened my year 😃

If I can't take it with me I'm not going 🤗

All that makes me wonder is "are they expecting a lot of tall people dying ?" I would expect the answer to be more because you can get 12' ceiling joists out of it with the building boom that's going on round here. Anyway if you divide 4.53m by 2 you get 2.265m not 7 feet Stop mixing measurements.

I've got the hole dug in the garden, all she has to do is fill it in and keep claiming the pension 😳
