  1. Local councils are supposed to oversee it, the same councils that fail to even fine anyone for dog mess, littering and even fly tipping! Unless they're planning to farm it out with financial incentives, might be one way to get actual results. Granted I think half the article is a recycled wood burners are bad bs.
  2. It's also been known about within the boating community for decades. From memory, it's also illegal to sell non smokeless fuels such as coal in a smoke control area. Plus it's not called itinerant, it's continuous cruising.
  3. NGK talks Spark Plugs | techtalk.ie WWW.TECHTALK.IE When it comes to spark plugs, the section most people are aware of...
  4. Is that a name brand spark plug, as I presume it's leeching out the copper from the electrode ?.
  5. Wouldn't you then get accused of ogling the ladies
  6. Are you using the chipper as a dead weight ?
  7. Checkup and X ray £60 last night.
  8. Well, put your name down for it. They'll either hand it to you with a note on file to the effect of its yours unless someone else lays claim, or miraculously they will find the owner when they do their due diligence. Have you actually tried using the map tool on the land registry ?. As the address version isn't very good at fields/woodland.
  9. Sell the manitou, buy a small compact tractor with some creature comforts and a small rough terrain forklift. Got myself an old Ausa C11, 1.2ton capacity. 900cc engine Vs using the 4000cc tractor loader, it's a no brainer with red at 93p a litre.
  10. 50 litres per boiler Kw is generally recommended or larger on a log boiler as you don't want to heat the whole tank You'd be surprised how quickly you can get a 1500 litre tank from 5c > 90c when the house is upto temperature.
  11. I do burn the absolute dregs, that being said I have a 1500 litre tank and run the boiler at maximum of around 85c. I found if I went above 90 it just wastes heat cycling up and down. Plus have experimented with and without a draft regulator, using one pretty much halved wood usage.
  12. Bin day my boy, they're all lined up like toy soldiers!.
  13. Jebus, you're house must be either roasting or even more uninsulated than my barn!. I might get thorough a wheelie bin every two days with a 25kw eco Angus, but 45m3 is serious amounts.
  14. I hope you meant 4.5 m3 as 45m3 is 38 IBC'S
  15. I wonder if the hi Vis is the exact same in all their videos ?. Are they atleast filtering the air with a Marlborough?.
  16. Don't give them ideas, they'll be using a mixture of BSP, jic and left handed thread adapters just to mess with your mind!
  17. It wouldn't surprise me, but try at the spool block end 😉. Granted if he's already replaced the drive motor it's unlikely to be the pipes, even 30year old ones delaminate on the outside before the inside as it's relatively sealed from the outside elements as it's low oxygen. Valve block or a failing pump would be my guess, plus check your filters for any swarf. Are you running standard hydraulic oil and not some veg based stuff ?.
  18. I'd be tempted to swap hoses from left track to right and see if the problem follows.
  19. NFU, granted you'll probably need tractor insurance and farm insurance. Whilst I've not checked my policy specifically for hedge cutting public liability, as I pay a guy for doing the road side stuff I would assume it's included as I don't do any contracting. Tractor around 350 & farm around 400.
  20. It's probably CE marked but also CE British Standard. A lot of EU CE rules are of a UK origin, take most electric regulations as an example, it was easier for everyone to just use or very lightly modify them.
  21. It's a sure fire way to find out who's a friend and those that are just aquantances.
  22. Or just like any land rover, marking it's territory.
  23. What's the engine?. Start simple, air filter then fuel filter and if the pipe to the injector pump is getting fuel. Without knowing the type of engine, does it have a solenoid pump for the fuel as without that ticking away it won't start ?.
  24. Just because you aren't getting the answer you want doesn't make it what happens in the real world. Writing a thesis for every reply doesn't help either, most countryside roads are cut back level to the edge of the path or tarmac, 15ft would be 7ft into my field.
  25. Just wondering if the rubber handles are bolted in place, if you have to pull down both handles to operate. Could you fashion a curved bar/tube between the two, I was going to say chin bar with maybe a handle in the centre ?.
