  1. Just reread your original post and your saw is different to what I was thinking. Apologies but I dont think my info will be applicable to your saw.
  2. Also I think you might be counting the rakers (depth gauges) as well as the cutting teeth. Mine has 24 cutting and 48 drive links (inner teeth )with a 12 inch bar. So if that is the case you probably have a 10 inch bar measured from the front of the saw body to the bar tip. Probably about13 or 14 inch overall length. Also most important No chain brake on that saw so be careful !!!!!
  3. Just had a look and the chain has mini 370 on 48 drive links. Bar is Oregon 120DGEA061 OT S48/91-48 My saw came with a 10 inch bar but that is 12 inch I believe. I would think 14inch would be a bit big for that little saw. Hope that helps
  4. I also have a homelite Xl2 auto. Last bar I took along to my local dealer and he matched it up with an Oregon bar. I think originally it came with a 10 or 12 inch bar as it can be used as a top handle. I can look later for details if you don't get definite info.
  5. Had various electrical kit failing when hot. Used to be a favourite with coils, and condensers on the older cars.
  6. If you mean Fs280k then I have one. Quite an old model but around 40cc 1 .9 kw Runs a 300mm blade or heavy line. Very pleased with mine.Starts well, very little vib. A lot of machine for the money if reasonable condition
  7. Chipboard factory or power station ? However I think they might they might prefer better wood. Might be worth investigating though. I expect you might have to find another home for the sleepers. Landscaper/gardener parhaps for raised beds/free ads. Looks bit of a liability as it is, I suspect burning will be your cheapest option.
  8. Dont forget being deployed. Can be much more of a risk. I think my lad had similar insurance to what you are after when he did his tours. TA /army might have aranged it. If you can wait until Monday I will ask him.
  9. All good quality stuff, but don't do as William did as that's abuse of a good quality tool. Even if it was 3/4 drive its not recommended. That's what breaker bars are for. Sorry William but best to use the correct tool for the job.
  10. I'm sure your right but I have heard it mentioned it is rarer abroad. Probably an area thing. Park your merc overnight in the Stonehouse area of Plymouth and it would be 50/50. Do the same in Germany and it would be OK. Just what I've heard.
  11. I think its called envy. Typical example is a nice car that has been keyed.
  12. Thanks Logan interesting info. I know exactly what you mean by drunk regrowth. I was looking at some last weekend. Some were growing horizontal, weird shapes. Thanks to all who have replied
  13. Part of my pension Jon. But you win some and lose some. The chance you take. I agree with you about some of the things that the big supermarkets do though ( not only Tescos I'm sure)
  14. Not only the younger generation. I have bought saws via the net and they are very cheap. Had problems and the backup was take it to your local dealer. However I have also bought a saw again via the internet but from what was a proper bricks and mortar dealer. Obviously a little more money but this time the saw was put together, fine tuned and tested. The difference is the second dealers product was trouble free out of the box. So my experience of these two companies is you get what you pay for and if we lose our high street / hands on dealers we will be the poorer for it.
  15. Avoid timed tooth belts if you can. Hitting an obstacle causes the belt to jump and blades can touch
  16. I think they do have long reach. Bought a set for my lad and was quite impressed with the selection. Don't think its Britool quality but not Britool price either.
  17. Very true but there will be times when you need that obscure bit to get you out of trouble.
  18. Sockets, spanners, various types of spline bits. Other things I can't remember but quite a selection of useful stuff.
  19. I would think by the third year the sycamore will be going over. You would need to keep the rain off it then. Presumably your shelter is totally rain proof.
  20. Just had a look and the filler seal is a bit soft and partially damaged so I think that could be my problem. Thanks
  21. No unfortunately only used by me on my own patch. Anyone else is quite welcome to do it though. Nice old strimmer if anyone wants a go.
  22. Just started my strimmer that I left with aspen in. When using petrol it normally held the fuel, but either the aspen evaporates quicker or a fault has just developed which seems a bit of a coincidence.
  23. First thing is to make your system safe in the event of a power cut. Assuming your DHW tank is upstairs pipe upwards from your back boiler pipe through the coil in this tank. You will also need a vent to your header tank from this line. Best to use 28 mm pipe with as few restrictions /bends as possible. Always run the flow uphill and the return down. No level runs. A meter or two head difference if any appreciable pipe length. Once you have a safe system then you can either run your rads from a second coil in your DHW tank or T off your back boiler line to your rads driven with a pump. It might be possible to run rads upstairs via gravity but you need to be carefull you have enough rad capacity to absorb the heat and enough flow to take it from your boiler. As you mentioned two rads presumably your back boiler is small.
  24. Not driven transit lately but out of a sprinter and iveco the sprinter is far better IMO. Drives better with less maintenance the only thing the Iveco does better is rust. Only a few years old and it has lost a lot of the paint from the chassis. Renaults used to suffer from front wheel bearings if loaded heavy apparently.
  25. Thanks that all makes sense. Might plant a couple of hazel as an insurance policy
