  1. Refering to his videos, that sensor pipe is the way he adds the cleaner. Which seems the most logical way to add a cleaner without removing the DPF, if the vaporiser is the problem it shouldn't reoccur once sorted.
  2. I watched one last night DPF problems, guy spent thousands and not got sorted including a new particulate filter etc. This guy hooked it up to the diagnostic, realised the wing mirror had been replaced that didn't have a temp sensor. Did his usual DPF cleaning, new wing mirror and other than a fan that needing replacing all sorted. Having watched plenty, I'd suggest looking at the fuel vaporiser, you can do that without taking it apart and probably on your driveway.
  3. I'd watch a few of these and you'll find most garages don't seem to know what to do.
  4. Probably because he's not pressing on the drop down powered by Google box under the postcode. If you don't, it remains blank, maybe force it to accept the postcode if you hit search twice ?.
  5. I still use an old style sawtec high speed head. It's probably considered old school and manual but 3.3mm line lasts forever, bought a 2.25kg spool of the stuff and I've still got half a spool after 15years.
  6. I've an older 2011 it drives and feels a bit agricultural, but earns it's keep if you actually use the gearbox and don't just lead foot it around. Tows well, but it's like driving the QE2. If you're near cities get a post 2016 euro 6 to avoid any future congestion charge stuff, I will be upgrading, probably to a post 2016 or Toyota.
  7. Depends which side of the pants the kick was intended 😉
  8. Thing is you've not found if they haven't done the necessary checks and just not given you a piece of paper that details what you or the AA want in word form. That's the real legal sticking point, as if they've just passed your equipment without checks that's their neck on the line.
  9. Is it 60mm ?
  10. What's the obsession with an litigious definition and solution?.
  11. Maybe make a new rubber gasket from an old tyre inner tube ?.
  12. I would also look and test this, they do fail. STIGA PARK RIDE-ON LAWNMOWER 12V STARTER SOLENOID 1134-2962-01 WWW.GOOGLEADSERVICES.COM Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for STIGA PARK RIDE-ON LAWNMOWER 12V STARTER...
  13. Whilst comparable, providing I got an MOT certificate that's on the system that's fine. I don't need the check list saying he's emptied the ash tray & refilled the magic smoke. Essentially the equipment has an active test report, as bolt says it's down to your boss to say the report isn't upto snuff. You pays your money and take your chances, like your car take it elsewhere next time if you're not happy or give them the chance to sort it and they may even appreciate the feedback.
  14. Annoyed maybe, but have you spoken to them to add those details?. Just because your report lacks certain information AA requested, does not mean they haven't checked the equipment.
  15. Yeah, the Bosch 1137328081 part is probably a huge relay or maybe a soft starter. As it's 12v DC they have to make them pretty beefy due to the large amount of amp draw and inevitable arc when switching on/off.
  16. I could have been a little more tactful, but learn by doing. For a tenner it's worth trying, they might even get it right 1st time.
  17. You don't have 2 minutes to sharpen a chain, yet you ask a forum of tree types the best method and that is the quickest and best method. It's quicker to sharpen than take off a 16" chain. It's like learning to ride a bike a skill for life, or just pay a man and van to log it and lump it.
  18. That's a voltage regulator.

    Fire sale or BOGN (Buy one get nothing) ?
  20. Is the fuel filter in the correct direction. Probably not a bad thing to disconnect the output side of the filter and ensure that the electric fuel pump isn't blocked or getting a bit tired.

    So where is the money coming from if the business account is frozen ?.
  22. GarethM

    FR Jones

    I wouldn't be sure PayPal could do anything, as the company assets are frozen. They can't refund money from a frozen account and they aren't a credit card when it comes to buyer protection with some form of insurance scheme. Obviously it's a different case when you're dealing personal to personal via eBay as they just take the cash and refund you.

    Usually a lack of regular grazing causes the grass to, for lack of a better word become very lazy. Flail it off, then get grazing with sheep. The grass will then send down roots into the clay searching for nutrients and moisture and it turns the clay slowly into loamy soil.

    God loves a trier as they say 😉. Certainly wonder how they got to acrue so much debt and the suppliers allowed them to get away with it!. Most of the big names wouldn't let them get overdrawn without reducing the discounts or jacking up the prices to pay it off.

    I had something similar years back, the administrators were a bit fly by night and pretty arsey, asking loads of questions like describing the goods etc. When they finally realised everything was serial numbered, data plated, painted in a brand specific colour they quickly changed tune and it was back in the workshop pretty quickly.
