  1. We had a boundary issue and land registry sent OS guy out with state of the art GPS etc to map everything - expensive? Not a penny they do this all the time accuracy was to millimetres. Our boundary was spot on but roadside pavement about 4 metres away was nearly a metre out. I wouldn't be happy with council deciding (unless it went my way) as they are the other liable party - bit like Pep reffing a Utd/City game.

  3. Best and easiest first step is to get a definitive plan from land registry for his property if he hasn't already got one with his deeds. Very cheap, quick and straightforward will settle responsibility issues.
  4. Hi Has anyone a copy of parts manual for the 026 please - looking to resurrect my saw been sitting in workshop as backup. Thanks
  5. AFAIK CE marking is only applicable if the item is 'manufactured for financial reward' and even then I think there is a ten year limit. How the insurance companies would view such a non CE saw only they can answer as they underwrite the risks they specify. If people check saws are operating correctly before use risks are obviously reduced. It did make me think about all the 'modded' saws out there - that could be a can of worms! Only problem I've had with a chain brake was one where the brake band snapped on second use - didn't realise until restarted saw and chain ran when it shouldn't have. Was advised by manufacturer (not dealer) it was 'a consumable part' and they weren't interested, saw was a Victus from the Efco stable. Had bought it for snedding, fortunately it was cheap and it now gathers dust in the workshop as I was so pissed off with Efco's attitude. Never had a band snap on any of the Stihls or Husky.
  6. Just had a quick look at the website - part time and occasional use products only but why would you pay £575 for a 450 when you can buy it for £424 online even if you get a combi can and 2 year warranty?
  7. Android app keeps saying network error can't login
  8. Works okay for me in Today's Posts. Moto G5 on Android 7.0
  9. First of all thanks for your hard work in providing the forums and my admiration in view of all the hard work to provide this massive upgrade . Like the post format for me easier to read, Finding my way around but got frustrated trying to get to forums - didn't realise at first that I could click on the word to get there - was using drop down arrow only at first. Finding as others have commented on lots of scrolling seems to be needed. Also flashing ads a real distraction for me - all I've done is zoom in so I don't see them at all - not what you and your advertisers want! Hope the feedback is useful for you.
  10. On the subject of compromising situations twice blocked in completely by vehicles parked right up to gate both times they were enjoying horizontal refreshment and no I did not wait until they had finished! Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Really worthwhile putting up signs these are all trespassers inside inner wood gate Local hunt supporters but that's another story! Sent from my AT10LE-A using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. 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
  13. 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!
  14. 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!
  15. 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.
  16. An excellent book well worth the money and even my other half read it and enjoyed it!
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 3 Year warranty against 2 seem to be fair number of dealers - pays your money.
  21. 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
  22. 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?
  23. 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.
