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.

It's a sure fire way to find out who's a friend and those that are just aquantances.

Or just like any land rover, marking it's territory.

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 ?.

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.

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 ?.

I'm sorry Phil, but you're sounding like some eco zealot banging on about trees, co2, electric cars and then power stations. The council clearance figures are about standard for A type roads, to ensure access by HGVs without tree strikes. New roads have new rules, old roads are not retrospective unless arterial routes. Usual rules apply to cut back to the edge of the highway/pavement for everything else.

Yeap, I tend to be loyal to my local palletline guy as a result, works out around £80 nationwide inc Vat upto say half a ton. But I've dealt with FedEx/TNT for a decade before they merged and for a while after. Some pricing with them was insanely cheap upto about 2kg, providing you could get it into one of the standard bag sizes, around £8-12. But like everything would or could you rely on Evri or the many low cost options and just end up using royal mail, if it's going to fail atleast I know they've not gone skint.

The fuel surcharge thing varies depending on the fuel price, my pallet transport guy tends to vary month to month depending on the rates, last week it was 12%. Which you can understand on an hgv, at say 15 to the gallon. But with FedEx/TNT it's a bit more cheeky as it's white van man territory, delivering hundreds of parcels per day.

Think the old boy deserves extra points for wearing a flat cap in that weather!.

You know what I mean tho, it's an improvement not something that should unbrick something. iPhones and such IOT need to talk to the mother ship 😋

Are you advocating a mass treepocalypse in the name of road safety ?. The rules generally apply to anything other than country roads, as you could interpret an old hedge as trees as most old roads wouldn't meet those width standards. You could even argue Roman/Napoleon esk tree lined roads would be illegal.

Plus why would a firmware be needed, other than to enable it to work with the scanner, even then they then to work with a number of older revisions. Whilst updates might improve the fuel economy etc, it should be a running engine when it leaves the factory. You're car doesn't just stop working because ford use a new firmware. As a guy who dealt with PLCs for a long while, I kept copies of everything for that singular reason.

Looking at the angles of the lever, try removing the right handle and putting a block under the cross bar so it acts as if engaged. It seems to need the mechanism to operate the log lifting thing tho, so butchering the hydraulics might lose that function.

Or just put in stock fencing with plain wire on the top, I just let the deer come and go as they please. Post spacing a little closer to give a bit of extra support, but the deer just jump in and out.

Damn those cunning capitalists!. I do have a question about the diesel option, I hear they're down plated output wise but are they as filled with sensors as the petrol equivalent?.
-
It does somewhat remind me of the American Vs Russian writing in space analogy. One spent millions on a zero gravity Fischer pen and the other just used a pencil.

You're thinking of Amazon, not eBay. Then you confuse the royal mail model of universal service, if people are honest at the basket 1st I have zero problems. Have an empty basket with 4.95 at the beginning and then add your stuff, a certain engineers website then ends up being more expensive than eBay as a result, or atleast say £50 and it's free. Most of the chains i buy are direct from a Stihl dealer and includes the postage. Oil is actually direct from Gator and cheaper than they're own website. Everything else tends to be at a dealership if I'm not in a rush. I should also say I've used a lot of couriers commercially, royal mail actually works cheapest in most cases. It's more work but £6-8 Vs FedEx at £15+ for a small bag.
-
You say that, but just make it clear at the basket 1st. I hate companies that only add the postage at the very end, I usually then say stuff it and head to eBay as they're atleast honest from the outset.

Closer to 3.5k me thinks.

UK rules on filling cans with diesel at petrol station
GarethM replied to Squaredy's topic in Large equipment
Generally when they discolour or get brittle, still using some from the late 90s but always best to keep out of direct sunlight as the the UV ages plastic. -
Tracked access platforms came up 1st in google, based in Bradford

Blame autocorrect for flack. I don't really do FB, but is it like a murder mystery scooby doo style ?
-
It always did attract flack for some unknown reason

There is a injection model iGX800 at 24.9, but strange they don't make a twin cylinder model like Kohler & Honda. But anything bigger than a lawnmower should be diesel IMO, it's added weight and expense but they must drink petrol like it's a alcoholic.
