I had same experience here in Ireland, where my nearest kohler approved dealer didn't have the ability to interrogate the engine, and wanted to send complete engine away to the UK. God knows what it would have cost me, never mind the time lost. Resolved my underfueling issues with YouTube and a new pair of genuine fuel filters rather than the cheapos I'd put on at an earlier service. These engines are very sensitive to fuel pressure issues!

I think there's a declining number of us here who know what your talking about. - From my earliest days of tv watching where tvs were rented and we couldn't afford a colour one, so black and white only, and imagining what colour things were supposed to be

Oops, just spotted it's an old picture. Maybe they are gone after all.

Those up in the staffordshire Peak District, around Gradbach and The Roaches have been around for generations. As a kid I used to go out trying to find them, but never saw a single one. I thought more recently that they'd declined away and were no more, but obviously not.

No, not of kits, but a loaded truck /van whatever , on a hard surfaced drive perhaps with twists or turns and a locked diff , if a wheel can't slip somethings going to go bang. Hopefully will be halfshaft as they're cheaper to replace than gearbox pinions etc. And yes have blown 2 , one on an older series landrover and the other on a much later td5 defender. There's a time and a place for locked diffs - usually once you're in the shit!,

So he'll need a set of halfshafts as well as a new clutch soon then, something with hi/low ratio is really what he needs. Becoming harder to find at sensible prices.

Stir in a load of chopped bacon pieces as well, fried to crispiness - perfick !

Every luscious moment. Sausage in hand hoping she was going to demonstrate a new stuffing technique.

Then uncovered, cut off rind but left a layer of fat. Scored fat, studded it with cloves , then another coating of black treacle, dijon mustard and brown sugar. Mixed and smeared over the whole joint. Back in oven for another 25mins to glaze it completely. She made some fine noises putting portions in her mouth 💋

We used to do Christmas turkeys. One day went to the shed to feed and couldn't open the door. With a bit of effort managed to push it open to find a dead turkey, missing it's head with the neck stuck inside a rat hole under the door , and firmly wedged behind the door. Always knew there was a rat problem in this particular shed, so threw down a few live capture traps. Next morning astounded to find a mink captured. Took it outside to get the air rifle to finish it off . Never having seen a mink before, held it up to study, - this little bastard was at the cage door screaming and hissing at me, (and Jesus what a stink!) Whereas rats would be at back corner as far as they could get away. Not the first one I've shot here, but what incredible strength. Turkey was close to finishing weight so prob 15 - 18 pound. Mink was firmly intending to pull the entire bird through a 3" rat hole when the head came off!

"A mate of mine at work went to his local group and said it really helped him to get out of a hole." "Problem is men dont talk, then its too late ..its never easy recovering a body and explaining to family" The hardest task I can ever do in life is to open that door handle and say 'hello, I'd appreciate some help'. My own stubbornness may (-will) one day be my undoing.

....with the wife's sister. 🤣🤣

Yep , spot on. Was one of those nothing ventured nothing gained situ's. The landscaper I was subbing to already had digger on site for constructing boundary wall on roadside, and he'd seen some of my other hedgecraft, to consider 'heck, this might work' so minimal loss if it didn't

Some of the stems came out with practically no root at all. These were just trimmed to a single stick with no branch at all, then laid over ! There was a pleacher every 1-2' to try to give some hold to the hedge in the absence of sound established roots.
