    Noo, it's down and hill over a cliff whilst burning. But it has to to done on video whilst extolling the virtues of Greenmech and Jase might give you a discount!.

    Sounds like it's getting fuel, maybe not enough but I'd also ask if your letting the glow plugs heat up and turn off first. Even on the 3 pot Kubota they like a little heat to help them start especially when cold.
  3. GarethM
    Does it turn and feel like it's ratcheting, probably a failed bearing either at the drive side or the end of the drive motor.

    Post a picture, 9 pin sounds very Lucas style ?

    I've never thought of PG Tips being the taste of capitalism 🙄.

    Don't know about that, I guess that's more for anything fitted with a tacho ?. It's why I was asking if the weight was necessary, as you could even include ford connect style things as they're more like cars than thirsty wallowing pickup's. @Rob D didn't really say why other than wanting commercial for tax purposes.
  7. GarethM
    Aren't land rovers minus the rear seats. Obviously the pickup is available as a 5 seat, but is the Corsavan still available as commercial?. Yes I know it's well under 2ton, but probably better unless you want to tow?.

    Do you mean a MS211. Chrome is just a coating and doubtful anyone does that to a chain as you sharpen it making it pointless in the first place. IE, chrome plate it and as it wears the chrome off and turns into swarf and a whole world of pain. Or was it the Duro Carbide version ?. 16" 63PMC3-55 Vs 63PDC3-55

    Regardless of the sale price, the builders & banks want a profit. For the sake of argument a 200k house is probably 50k for the builder. The bank at 6% isn't realistically earning much for the risk of 200k and any legal aspects if you default. Hopefully the hike will cut down on the empty flats in city centres and force them to turn these chic apartments into small flats.

    Duh, only when you run them backwards!. Plus I thought you knew they run them at night to rewind the earths clock mechanism, sushi that's some secret squirrel stuff!

    I would assume that's pretty accurate, I'd have to deep dive but when it shifts we get hot and dry instead of mostly moist. There is some correlation between that and the Atlantic conveyor, simply that's why eels go from our east coast to the Sargasso sea to feed.
  12. GarethM
    Bit simplistic but it's the Jetstream moving around. Partly why we have this current weather, everything is cyclical tho so it's not necessarily less wind just elsewhere.
  13. GarethM
    Blame those pesky wind turbines!.

    Unless you're in the depths of nowhere is it really worth buying a set when it's about £60 for a sweep ?. Plus they can check for damage with a camera.
  15. GarethM
    Go to an actual shop, don't buy online if you can avoid it. Everyone will have a bias but the shop, installer and sweep will have volume and experience on their side. Plus they're the ones you'll be moaning to if/when it needs maintenance.

    That's a breach of planning, not home insurance

    But can he sing the full score from HMS Pinafore?
  18. GarethM
    Zero, why would you think it would ?.
  19. GarethM
    So is this guy a homeowner or farmer as access to a telehandler suggests farmer ?. Then to build something new next to a argumentative neighbour with overhanging trees seems very stupid, just to invite problems. Personally I would say solicitors letter highlighting the risk and leave it alone. That way it's on file with a third party.
  20. GarethM
    Corrected a link to that boiler, is the exhaust fan clean or a bit lacking in power ?. If so a new capacitor might be your first try.
  21. GarethM
    Model number would be good, presumably it's solid fuel if you've cleaned the tubes. Vigas 40 LC DUNSTER-SPARE-PARTS.MYSHOPIFY.COM Dunster Spare Parts is a UK supplier of Boilers and spare parts for Vigas, Fröling, Akvaterm, Galú, Esbe...

    Start simples, battery pack should start it if has no electrical gremlins other than a flat battery. Next check would be ignition switch personally, especially if it's been left outdoor for any length of time and like a drowned rat. And obviously oil level. Obviously if you know what you're doing, offer peanuts but for a 5 year old machine with 350 hours does fill me with equal measure of oh that's a bargain & it's a solvable bag of spanners.
  23. GarethM
    Is that because quieter ?, always found using petrol became something of a gulag style form of punishment.
  24. GarethM
    A 22ton is around 1.5 litres an hour when the 6.5 Hp is running full scream, you can run them a little slower to save the old ears and make life a little more comfortable as it's not a race. Never tried the MDL diesel tho, but assume anything running at 3600rpm is equally loud regardless of fuel type.
  25. GarethM
    Why am I imagining some waste management style meetings ?.
