  1. That's the best way to bring an old system into a modern set up, must have cost a fortune!
  2. You see because your woodburner output has to be so great to heat the water when cold once the hot water is satisfied then the woodburner is way over kill to heat the room, you can get an air circulation unit now which apparently are really good just a massive extractor fan to pump it throughout the house
  3. My new 262 lost its virginity today chuffed to bits with it
  4. The constant cold spot is inside your woodburner where the boiler is and the stove becomes inefficient at being a room heater, the dunsley neutraliser and injector tee is like you said 35 year old technology, poor water pressure and unbalanced hot and colds, I'm my opinion as a plumbing and heating engineer
  5. Also modern oil boiler are a-rated and a lot more efficient than a boiler that's ten years old
  6. In my opinion as a plumber woodburners with back boilers are an inefficient way of heating, a solid fuel appliance with a constant cold spot ( back boiler) will reduce efficiency compare to just a room heater, also the c/h system will have to be old fashion (open vented) I would steer clear personally!
  7. Wow that's impressive, I live just down the road in kilk!
  8. So I'm a plumber who is now verging on having an obsession with saws! On routing around in a farmers shed I found two saws both lagged in the usual farmer crap, one was a little old echo (model 315) which has no brake, gave it a strip down and it starts and runs fine, what's best to do with it I don't really want it?! The other saw was a husky 50 which I'm told is a good old saw, I done the same to that and it's now running and behaving well, the only thing is that the casing for the brake has got really hot at some point and it doesn't work,also the stop switch isn't there but I can choke it out so not worried about that, is it worth spending some £ on or not?
  9. I asked about them but he said it would be too fast for me
  10. I'm not in the profession just like to have nice kit, I use my saw every weekend and am going to buy a new saw, I have recently been thinking about a 362 but a local supplier said that it's a heavy and unbalanced, and pushed me towards a 261 any advice on either??
  11. Will I notice the difference between a 362 and a 261 I'm not in the profession only doing it for myself? Will the 352 be overkill?
  12. Ok that's great thanks a lot put my mind at rest!
  13. Ok coll thanks mate, on the stihl website it said they have made a few changes to this years model but if you think that it's nonsense then I won't worry !
  14. I'm just about to purchase a new 362, and when I asked about it u said it will be a 2014 one won't it? And they said chances are it will be a 2013 model should I hang on, it's nearly march now any ideas when they will roll out the 2014 models?
  15. What sort of huskys would I look at ? I have a stihl dealer within a mile of where I live!
  16. I was worried about the m-tronic saws I can't help but think that it's making them a bit complicated?!
  17. Think iv narrowed it down now to either a new 261 or 362, decisions decisions!
  18. What sort of ££ were I thinking?
  19. Iv got this forum using an app and can't find any classified's on here
  20. I'm a bit of a dumbass with technology mate can u put a link on
  21. Ok my number is 07799185051 send me pics and details when u can
