Looks pretty scammy IMHO - esp given Ebay purchase history of beauty products and disco balls!! If not then a bargain to be had

Under sale of goods act, provided it hasn't been abused then from what you say it is not fit for purpose, meaning you should be able to get a full refund.

Whilst I admit that living on the west coast is far from an ideal climate for a machine, I ran my last machine (a Kubota KH41) for over 20 years until the undercarriage finally gave up due to corrosion - not bad for a mchine which lived oitside all its life. Even at that, it was all still working OK, albeit with just over 6k hrs, and I managed to sell it for £500 to someone who is going to rebuild the carriage. I've replaced it with a Volvo unit that I doubt will last as long unless I finish the undercover storage that I'm about to start building.

Have now received an email with a direct download link which works OK Many thanks - looks excellent!

PS By 'sent out' I meant by email and/or link.

HI Dave I've just subscribed to this - can you please confirm thst the guide will be sent out and is not currently a downloadable document? Thanks

Over the past 35 years or so I've used axes, maules, wedges etc. A few years ago I was given a Stihl splitting axe and find it to be the best compromise - easy enough to wind up for hours on end, and splits without getting stuck. Nowadays I only split c. 10 tonnes per year, but this does it for me. Wider than an axe, but more forgiving than most mauls and with a wooden shaft to boot. https://www.toolstoday.co.uk/stihl-hickory-splitting-axe-2-8kg?gclid=Cj0KEQjwr7S-BRD96_uw9JK8uNABEiQAujbffG_NfhodJkx-jK_Ol9I1n-x_psYZoR9xCddrF1BEIDEaAlRU8P8HAQ

We already are (at least in both Scotland and Wales) Agree re tidal energy - I live less than 5 miles from three channels where the tide exceeeds 9 knots every day of the year, and at a predictable time. It will be harnessed in due course, but one of the biggest restrictions to tide/wave/hydro is the lack of a grid connection.

Thanks! Two bars ordered

How do we get this via your web site Rob - is there a specific code to enter as the chains do not seem to be added when I visit the basket? Thanks

The new ones list at closer to £29k rather than £19k?

Cut into slices with a good quality bandsaw, drill/cut out all but top slice and then mount onto rods. Simples.....

I'm with Big J on this one - if you can then buy outright (provided you know what you are looking at) - I've found that it is so much simpler in the long run as (for example) you aren't having to keep an eye on mileage etc. I've bought all my vehicles for the past 30 years - a couple on finance but mostly for folding. Cut the cloth to suit, and take your time looking for the right vehicle

Ditto the 460 for me - fired up second pull last week after almost a year on not being used and very little seems to stop it. Personally I find the Stihl harness OK too.

Are you sure it wasn't him just trying to repeat the stunt fell of the Lombardy Poplar?

Sadly I think you will have to try and call HMRC and explain what has happened. Their systems will, in all probability, pick up an 'unuaual' return in that it is identical to 12 months ago and this may trigger a VAT inspection - something which you should try to avoid at all costs! My last one took a total of 8 visits, at the end of which I owed them just £28.

I have a late D3 (2009) that I've done 150k in over the past 3.4 years, mostly fully loaded and a lot of off road, with a lot of towing too. Frankly, it is the best vehicle I have ever owned (and that includes 3 Range Rovers, D1 and D2 etc) It carries more than the 110 I had as my last vehicle, and the huge difference is that after a long journey you don't feel totally knac**red EGR valves can be easily fixed (usually by blanking off), the 'big' service is not at 130k miles but earlier and/or at 7 years, Electric park brake has not been a problem for me at all. I'd suggest you avoid the HSE as their sunroofs can cause issues.... Plenty of good indy garages now have the skills to do the work on the D3 without having to pay main dealer prices, which can keep servicing costs down. My 150k service was £465 including front pads and discs and brake fluid change Take a look at Disco3.co.uk and do your research - there are a lot of duffers out there, but that forum is well worth spending a couple of nights using for research before you make up your mind.

Only just found this thread, but the following may/may not be of interest: I had need to park my old 110 and a 20' Ifor trailer overnight in central London about 6 yrs ago. Amazingly I managed to find two legit spaces on a side street off the Edgware Road, and even managed to reverse the trailer in to the space without hitting any other vehicles or re-sarranging any of the street furniture. Left trailer overnight locked to the 110, but put a ticket in the windscreen of the LR for both the LR and another for the trailer. I also placed a note on the trailer explaining what I had done. Came out in the morning to find a parking ticket stuck to the trailer. Took legal advise as I was severely pi55ed off, and was told to pay up as they (ie solicitor) felt that I had failed to display a valid ticket on the trailer itself. Other than confirming that Westminster City Council are a bunch of money grabbing sh*ts, it also confirmed that the trailer is regarded as a separate vehicle in its own right.

Can't help but think that it is the contractors and/or their insurers who should be paying for this!

It is one of the few things that they have got right here in Scotland - thus far, no fines. We speak with the school before any planned absences, and the teaching staff are usually very supportive and understanding. They have often said that time spent with the family is far more educational than a week at school, but I appreciate it depends on circumstances (and age of the children). For those of us whose income is related to tourism we have no option other than to try and get away outwith term time

Take a look at Anchor Pumps, based in Warrington. We use them for our 110v pumps that we use all year round for pumping river water - some come with a very good warranty too. Heat Pump ? Shower Pumps ? Grundfos ? Lowara - Anchor Pumps

Argyll Agricultural Engineers in Oban made up some pipes for an oil cooler on one of our boats last year - may be worth a try (up past the police station then turn left at the top before you drop down to turn right for the Calmac terminal)

Agree with James - the top one is cleaner and more versatile

Common theme here:- Deeside - building a shed around a wood processor Lanarkshire - building shed around log processor Argyll (me!) - building a shed around my chipper and splitter Must be something to do with our wonderful climate north of the south!

I've had seven different stoves in my last three houses. Most of themwere cast iron (usually from Vermont Castings) - the stoves were OK but innards tended to distort after a while. The steel ones tend to deform least (all Clearview) when using the same fuel etc. Just to throw a spanner in the works, my favourite was actually a Dutch stove which had a cast iron outer frame but in which the main panels were actually made of soapstone, about 20-25mm think. Whilst it may have taken a good while to warm up it gave out a very steady and uniform heat,often running for more than 24 hours between fills. Sadly I cannot remember the manufacturer.
