You do have my sympathy with the Iveco problem. Why, oh why, does my 2014 Daily have an ECU for the towbar electrics in the first place, and why, but why, is it positioned right behind the rear wheel waiting for water and salt deposition. Changed the fan belt on my 1975 series 3 Land Rover a few days ago, £4.80 and all is well again. Hope you get the gremlins sorted.

Morning all, Dry and grey here. Yesterday turned into a lovely sunny day surprisingly. I was subbing with my mewp to a pair of brothers who are relatively new in the game. They seem really decent and someone I can gradually pass on my longstanding regulars to as I slow down.
-
Morning all, Forecast says dry here, but sky not so certain. Got a power line shutdown today with the mewp, yes you've guessed it, I have got covid from my wife. On the bright side I haven't got to climb, and it is an easy enough job.
-
Morning all, Supposedly no rain until 4pm here. If so I'll do the mowing for next door's and our lawns. Not exactly making hay, and certainly not while the absent sun shines!
-
Morning all, Wet here again as well. Reckon we are heading for the news of "coldest/wettest June since bla bla". Still, at least I managed to get a job done last week, where we had been waiting ages for the ground to be dry enough to allow machinery into field.
-
Morning all, Change of plan today. Was booked to do my IPAF refresher course today, booked it months ago. Rang yesterday to just check all still good, only to be told I was not on the list. Got them to squeeze me in next week, and at least they gave me £50 off for their error. Spannering today it is then.

A lad who used to work for me had been with a boss who only started the payable hours when the team got to sight. I don't know what planet the employer thought he was on, nor how he got away with such outright abuse. Maybe because it was in an area with high unemployment? Still utterly wrong.
-
Morning all, Like Doug said, weather was very unusual yesterday. My head leaked too and my eyes were stinging with sweat running into them. Most baffling. Never fear, the rain is back here, this afternoon, and probably tomorrow.
-
Morning all, Dry and hopefully 14 degrees at noon. Yippee. Going to fell remainder of large chestnut that we took the back off yesterday. into a gulley, then wonder how to get it out.
-
Morning all, Some rain expected and 8 degrees. I'll be wearing thermal under layer up in the mewp then, with rainwear to hand.
-
Morning all, Wet again today but next two days look good. Got to drop a dying chestnut into a gulley on a field then winch it all out into the field - which has only just become dry enough for such activity. Gave in and put the heating on yesterday. F ---ing June it's called.
-
Sounds like a real contrast to recently when you quoted wearing shorts.
-
Morning all, Fine weather day looming. "Day off" today. Helping a friend collect some demolition joists, levelling topsoil next door for young neighbours lawn project, taking out 3 dead yews in a hedge and replacing them with large pot grown ones for a customer. I'm happy - I woke up this morning, some won't do so again. Stay safe, have fun all.
-
Morning all, Dry here, off to a couple of small jobs a couple of miles apart. Have a good day all.
-
I have no experience of the models you refer to, but I have a HSA 100, using the AP batteries. It is incredibly good and the battery lasts for ages on a charge.
-
Morning all, Blue sky and dry here. Nice straightforward job today.
-
Morning all, Day off today, which by chance coincides with the one rainy day forecast for the week. Fine by me, don't want to work in the rain.
-
Morning all, Grey and dry here. Week looking ok weather wise, so might catch up on some overdue jobs now.
-
Not quite morning all, Blue sky here and week ahead looking good weather wise. We can live in hope.
-
Did it all get chipped or was some kept as timber?
-
Morning all, Thank crunchie it's Friday (remember that ad?). Bit of office work, then weed control with the sprayer. Have a good weekend all.
-
Morning all, Rain just starting here. Doing a couple of simple fells next door, with shelter close to.
-
Morning all, Overcast but dry here. Working next door, so quick run to shelter if clouds burst.
-
Morning all, More rain due in soon. Sorting out climbing and lowering kit for Loler then whatever odds and sods need doing in the sheds. Stay dry where possible.
-
I changed the blades on my Husky out front mower yesterday. Put it on cut level 4, like I have been doing so far this season - absolutely scalped the grass, had to put it up to level 7. I think I had put them on upside down when I sharpened them in January. I struggle to see how they had cut as well as they did the wrong way round, but nothing else explains why I had to revert to a higher cut setting, that being the one I used last year.🙈
