  1. So it's OK for me to be inconvenienced but I shouldn't post a photo of their number plate? No tractor or artic could have got in not to mention ambulances or fire engine. It's my place of work not a playground. Put up a no parking sign? That's a good idea they can ignore that like they do all the forestry operations warning signs we've put up for their safety. I photograph them as advised by the police so we can do something about repeat offenders. Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Have bought quite a bit of Titan stuff and found it good value. Titan TTB355CHN 40.5cm 2000W Electric Chainsaw 230V | Chainsaws | Screwfix.com Two year warranty and good review plus any problems Screwfix good at sorting them out. Cheaper too!
  3. From experience can be done but can be very difficult to get old pipes to flare properly as they are usually steel. Replacements are usually copper alloy to enable easy flaring with a hand held flaring tool. If you don't get it right no brakes!
  4. Anyone else suffer from the idiots parking in woodland access gateways? Managed to get in at an angle but would not have got anything bigger than pickup in. I found the owners at the top end of our wood walking their dogs - on the bridleway so no problem there. When I asked politely if it was their car initially they said no then thought better of it and admitted it was theirs but they were just walking and when they'd finished they would go back and move it! Politely I suggested they moved it now and was then told but "there's a public footpath sign so it's all right" My reply "but there isn't a big blue public parking sign though is there?" After a bit more education about my wood being my workplace and would they be happy if I obstructed their drive etc they moved it.
  5. An excellent book well worth the money and even my other half read it and enjoyed it!
  6. Looks like a hard tip bar to me. Never seen one in the flesh gather they were used in dirty conditions. You really need to ditch this saw even a cheapo Chinese one is going to be a safer and more useful tool. Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Everything up to the house. Western Power used to sleeve ours so we could redo the sandtex or any pebbledash repairs. Never any hassle always helpful.
  8. Yes they will do it and at their cost you will need to talk to the power distribution company for the area. Western power do it where their lines cross my wood Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. 3 Year warranty against 2 seem to be fair number of dealers - pays your money.
  10. Hyundai for £150 if you want something with spares backup Hyundai HYC2610 26cc 2-Stroke Petrol Chainsaw just found it much cheaper tempted myself now! https://www.tool-net.co.uk/p-415937/hyundai-hyc2610.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwja_JBRD8idHpxaz0t3wSJAB4rXW5g16SEDlyxtEOexsKkBatN71rOXYMPL-uKmrEI-cQixoCXWPw_wcB
  11. Looks to have good backup and plenty of dealers plus lots of other product. My husky had to have a new main casing as it leaked oil everywhere plus top cover after the spark arrestor fell off and the exhaust gases melted it plus the back of my glove. The stihl has always been a pig to start and the echo brake band snapped within a week of very light use. Husky was covered by warranty thankfully. Quality brands?
  12. As already advised get the utility company out, they have teams to look at the job and disconnect etc. and it doesn't cost you anything. They won't be amused if you down their cables and will probably then charge you. I've had Western Power out many times always helpful and glad you involved them from the start.
  13. Had this this morning for the first time on win 10 pc Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Working fine on Android for me Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. Rare for any to go up but when they do!!!!!!!!!!!! WW2 bomb blast kills digger driver in Germany - BBC News You only have to be unlucky once!
  16. Who do you use? In Northants myself and blade needs a resharpen Thanks
  17. Well John Barclay the Scottish captain said they were useless! Watched it on tv and I thought England were awesome Wales Ireland game was brutal I have to agree. Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. You would probably need to be covered under a business plan i.e. RAC Business or AA equivalent best to check with them Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Who polices it? An organisation called FACT who work with Sky amongst others to protect Intellectual copyright. Your choice but perhaps not a good idea to post on here as they can obtain personal information from isp's etc. Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. So how much do you value your life? Anything you make is a prototype and as already said needs to be tested before putting yourself at risk. Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
