No you wont have damaged any seals with a bit of air but there may be an air bubble trapped somewhere, you could try running it and cracking a pipe connection to bleed it. Is it a two stage pump (google it to see images of a two stage pump) it could be that the check valve in the pump is stuck open. If you can get at it to inspect it or do anything with it I don't know, it will be a little ball bearing or piston with a spring behind it built into the body of the pump somewhere? Is the control valve working fine? both ways travel the same and no stickyness or noises? Is there a separate relief valve or maybe built into the control block? you could take it out and check for dirt or damaged o rings?

Well if you have changed the capacitor and 9 times out of ten they are the cause of motors not starting then you are going to have to investigate further. First thing I would do is blow all the dust out of the motor and internal wheels and make sure it is all turning freely. it should be easy to whip that black cover off the back of the motor. Then next have a look at the starter switch box - when you press the green button it energises a coil to bring in the main contactor (switch) and it is held in by a separate little switch usually tagged on the side of the main contactor, when you press the red button it breaks the circuit through that little side switch and the main contactor pops out. It could be that the contacts in the main contactor or the side switch are burnt out, or there should be a thermal overload built into or maybe clagged onto the contactor and that part may be faulty. Either way if all the connections are good then there's not a lot you can do with a dodgy contactor except replace it.

I would say it is a flue problem rather than just the boilers cooling the fire, if you have all the air open and maybe the bottom door it should really take off and roar even when just lit. My wood burner has insulated flue but the bit at the top where it is in the chimney pot gets tarred up no matter how hot I run it, I go up on the roof every 6 months or so and just scrape out the top metre. You should not have smoke coming back into the room when you open the door.

Yes, annoys me also, around here they plant the trees get the grants then just abandon the place so the cheap thin stakes they plant them with snap, tree gets blown over and dies then the tube falls off and the dogwalkers dogs carry them about for a while, chew them and drop them.

Yes, it does seem quicker. Well done.

This page I am on now, surely it has more pictures and little GIFS than the old site

We have a slow connection here and the new site is definately slower than the old one, my guess is because of all the extra graphics that have to load.

Good result, just googled Citreon HY to see what they are like, thats one pig ugly looking vehicle - but I really like it!

I would think netting would work to stop some of the rain, the problem would be getting it secured so it doesn't get ripped off by the wind, I don't think it's going to be a cheap option and as soon as a corner comes loose it will start flapping and you are going to be sad when you see it ripped. Might be cheaper long term to put a side on the barn.

You must have to be a highly trained police officer to spot something like this. Tree-transporting learner driver stopped by police - BBC News They wouldn't have noticed if he had used a leylandi van.

I use a little breaker to knock in fence posts with my 1ton yanmar, it works fine and much easier than a maul though because you are sat back away from it you need someone with a level to watch and keep them straight. That video with the separate bit that goes on the post first and then falls over looks like a real faff.

£328.56 is that the price for two u bolts and a bit of round bar with a groove one end? I had heard that mogs were expensive!

If the pin is loose ie. still turns/moves in the centre bit, the arm that the cyl. is pushing then it is only tight in the two yokes either side, which is where it is supposed to be tight. First make sure there are no burrs on the bit sticking out, give it a file up and rub with emery, then you will have to heat the yokes with oxy/acetylene to break the rust and tap the pin out, be better if you have a soft punch to go against the end of the pin like a piece of round aluminium so you don't burr up the pin. Looks like it is real awkward to get to to give it some decent hits, is there any way of taking something else off or dropping the cyl. off at the top to get at it better?

So does the size of the pot limit the trees size but does it still grow as healthily? if you see what i mean.

An AWD. Husky rider will do that no bother but decent second hand ones are hard to find and not cheap for a new one.

Or if you have a vernier calipers measure the o ring and get another of eblag, they are really cheap so you could try a few different sizes - slightly thicker. But get viton o rings not buna n.

So if you are losing your licence and going to jail you will probably want a quick sale of the 120mph defender?

There, thats a proper job, you didn't have to order it from Husky wait a week and go back to fetch it, and you got to play with your Dremel. That tool will go in the "special tools" drawer now.

Make your own from a big socket, just attack it with a grinder to leave three prongs stuck out. Your too quick Stubby.

What make is it? or what is it based on? it's not a John Deere is it? Really neat looking setup is the "trailer" part hydraulically driven? Sorry for all the questions.

Impressive, it even mulched a shopping trolley!

Seconded - Spud sorted and ported my 262 and it just wants to cut now, excellent.

:lol:
