Whilst I understand your point, the SNP are pretty much a one policy party. Just look at the recent, oh we've got to cut spending in Scotland. In the next breath blaming the English even though they get Barnet formula meaning a ton more than anyone south of the border and then we tax the high earners. It's not difficult to have reciprocity, as I suggested Switzerland. Granted they have all the gold, banks, chocolate and cuckoo clocks, so the world's your melted cheese oyster. And I have dealt with the EU imports since 2008.

Does putting an arb back on a tipper count as a modification for insurance?

And then upto the insurance company how quickly they distance themselves from you in the event of any accidents or incidentsm -

GarethM replied to Peadar's topic in Arb-Trucks
Well, I'm assuming London and within the M25, it means new euro 6 unless it's petrol. Smaller might be easier, something like a ford connect van type of thing and a trailer, enough to be under the congestion charging?. -
You're the one banging on how there are more pro EU people, therefore it should be listened to, but a mutually beneficial deal just hasn't been done has it!. I make not bones about being pro Brexit, I'm on the EU fence as I'm somewhat ambivalent, it's a lovely hate relationship. Before the 70s things worked perfectly well but when the blob and the EU just don't want to do anything, Switzerland works well enough when you all play nice.

GarethM replied to Peadar's topic in Arb-Trucks
Think you've answered your own question, yes it's a modification but best speaking to a more arb friendly insurance company than your average LV style company. You're average insurance won't even cover gear in the van, plus it's commercial so best being covered than barely covering the basics. -
If you trace the leak off pipework back to the tank, you should see it's frothy if air is getting into the circuit. Get a torch and look in the fuel tank whilst running, it'll look like a bubble bath. Plus if no fuel is returning to the tank it'll definitely be a restricted fuel supply, think it's something like 1/2 the fuel just gets pumped around and goes back to the tank keeping the fuel cleaner in theory and acts as a pump cooler.
-
Surely if there was a cracked pipe on a diesel you'd definitely know about it, as you'd have to bleed the system. Fuel filters would be the first thing, presumably it's a electric lift pump and not mechanical?. Older mechanical pumps did have a gauze filter, if it's electric it could be a bit weak as the pump is just one speed all the time returning any unused fuel back to the tank continuously.

Ah lefty logic, or just keep voting until you give us the result we wish to hear ?.

It'll be funny if the tree officer bans your access because it's damaging the tree roots and the brick wall is also a danger to kids.

It's mostly to do with the fines, from my experience importing stuff. They can't even load it onto a vehicle as if it fails the whole HGV load just gets impounded until it's rectified and you can't part unload. One of my first shipments after Brexit sat on a lorry for 2/3 weeks because of another person's shipment, with 20/30 other customers similarly moaning to DHL.

I'm too small acreage wise to bother for any grants or funding, I wouldn't say no but it always comes with stipulations & hand tying so just muddle along and do what I think is best environmental wise. I do import electrical equipment regularly which is just a PITA with paperwork, whilst it works once we got the hand of it. Customs staff do seem to enjoy being slow, pre Brexit it just zoomed through.
-
I don't know, currently Sue Gray is purging the civil service for anything other than her yes men so things will just veer more towards EU membership yet again. A beneficial negotiation is advantageous to both sides, labour couldn't negotiate themselves out of a paper bag without a conference to decide the brand of tea.
-
If the news is to be believed the chief EU negotiator is the next French president. So along with Labour, Starmer and now Barnier, is it just a matter of time before they over turn things ?.

Would a underperforming battery be a good call ?. Yes I know the alternator is running but you know how modern electronicals can be

@Jase hutch or give them a call

Why is nothing off the shelf ever good enough for you, without having to bodge or modify ?.

Whilst that might be the stock saw arrangement, I'm sure if I walked into mine tomorrow. He'd pick a 261 & .325 bar off the rack and a 18" full chisel chain and change it without any questions and give me my usual discount without a second thought.
-
Step into my hot air balloon and we'll discuss the price or is it more a real world action man style parachute demonstration?.
-
I'd change dealer as he's talking sh1t. All older 261 were .325 as standard, mines still running old bars and 18" with more power than I can shake a stinky stick at.

New power unit compatible with Hyundai attachments?
GarethM replied to flanagaj's topic in General chat
Or just buy another Hyundai special, no doubt they'll sell the engine set on its own for a 150 or there abouts. What's the point in bodging, or bite the bullet and buy Stihl or Husqvarna. A Stihl KM engine is only around 250 and atleast in the future the petrol & battery stuff should be interchangable. -
Just look for a ride on lawnmower main dealer. Stiga, Stihl, Husqvarna, Mountfield or any of the UK manufacturers. They all use similar engines, if they can't fix it we're all doomed.
-
Think the solenoids are powered open from vague memory, usually a white plastic plug nearby. When running disconnect that and it should stop almost immediately as I don't think it's a fuel shut off, more a jet isolator. If you're not mechanically or electrically minded might just be easier to get a lawnmower place have a look, it's the same engine fitted to tonnes of lawn tractors etc.
-
Personally I'd strip the carb before messing with the coils and clean all the jets etc.
-
I'd be more inclined to clean the DPF as you've changed almost everything bar that without any improvement. If you've a manometer, you could confirm it's low at tick over and higher at rpm. YouTube is your friend, as I'm guessing it's probably also fuel injection into the exhaust instead of adblue ?.

How did becoming VAT registered change your business?
GarethM replied to Excels1or's topic in General chat
Think my guy said put something like vat number pending. 3 weeks isn't bad it was suggested it could be upto 6 depending on time of year, these days they should be able to do it immediately. It's a old system for registration, but that's HMRC, think half of it still runs off 70s I ICL computers looking at the website login.
