Hi there everyone, 

I'm looking for a book on fungal and diseases found in tree's and another in woodland management. 

And any other really interesting and good grounding information in the biology of trees books that any of you might of read or been recommended. 

Many thanks

Hi all,

to anyone in the Bath and North East Somerset area

Thought i'd drop it out there that a couple lads have been reported knocking on doors offering tree work and then later coming back to rob a few of the house of tools and such.

Police are aware but nobody has been arrested yet.

Keep your kit safe!

Checked on a spares website and that indicates the  2004 3 ltr model has four glow plugs

try checking one of these sites and using your reg number it would at least tell you if you have one per pot or one in the Manifold ( I would have thought this was an outdated preheat method.

Thanks Nope, iv looked online for a definitive answer but i never found one so i thought i'd ask on here just in case someones messed about with them before. going to check the manifold and see what i find.  Will post picture if anyone's interest in what i find!

hi had a look this morning it looks like it has one heater plug in the in let manifold that is situated on top of the engine if you look under the engine cover its a square moulding in the inlet manifold with 2 elec items the top one looks as if it could be a heater plug , but not 100% on that good luck and have some plasters ready as they are so awkward to work on ,but at least theres one thing you dont have to do it very often.

Thanks Spud your a star. I'm fixing it this weekend and you've saved me a headache trying to find it again, Wish me luck haha

Are you sure it has any? I thought they were 2.5 common rail after 2002 so wouldn't necessarily have glow plugs

I've got an engine light on that says glow plugs/glow plug relay so I'm thinking there has to be. It's starting funny too so it has all the signs but I can't find the blasted things

So I need to find the glow plugs on my engine and I feel like a right idiot because I can't find them at all and nor can the mechanic I asked to look (which made me feel better) . 

If someone's got a picture of the engine and where they are on it please let me post it as Im at a loose end here. 

Cheers

Doesn’t matter what you have in that environment they will get torn to shreds!
Breathflex type a, they are the ones. Stihl are crap due to the stitched in hi vis band at the bottom which falls off pretty quick. Breathflex, it’s stitched in. Not sure on stein. Probably too heavy though.

Cheers mate! 

Hi everyone 

Just wanted some advice from peeps with experience in rail.

I've looked at the Breathflex and Stein and wondered what people think is best for breathability ect and any other makes around couldn't find much more but I might be looking in the wrong places. 

All C class.

I think that like any minority living in the UK differently to the status quo, they are going to get stick due to the stereotypes that float around, I agree with some of the reasons they do what they do but the impacts they have on the community when they don't do it respectively,  you kind of loose the ability to sympathise with them.

I thought the glyphosate based ‘ecoplugs’ were de rigueur at the moment.

I have seen them, but there's a hundred other options as well. Might have to grab them! 

Hi everyone, like the title says too many options and I've not messed about with it in a while.

Whats good? what do i stay away from?

any advice is really appreciated!

Cheers

B

There will probably be better advice but i'll thrown my 10 pence at it.

Try looking up local tree surgery company's and emailing/ calling round. maybe even offering to ground for free to show your keen. 

If they like you they might take you on or pass your name onto someone who can. 

best of luck.

Thanks bud. ?

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if people add a date to which the quote you did originally would need to be reassessed?

cheers

Thanks for all the replies, I'm stuck between Nissan Cabstar and Ford Transit. 

Won't be buying new as only got about 5k to play with. 

Found a few in budget Nissan that caught my eye. 

Cheers everyone

Hi all,

so I'm looking for a tipper and been looking at all the options, been told to stay away from the Ford transits due to rusting problems (I'm aware I might be being misinformed) 

Does anyone have any advice on things to look out for in tippers and what to stay away from? 

Looking at Nissan Cabstars 

Iveco Daily. 

Other than those two I'm not sure what else is a viable option really? 

Any advice is really appreciated 

Like the title says just curious what people use. Seen alot of golf range finders or hunting range finders and wondered if a specific one for trees is needed. (looking to do the AA course and mentions needing one). 

Cheers

slight rant

So I'm curious, is there just a Sh!* Ton of climbers and groundies in Bath, Bristol and surrounding towns?

Feel like there's nothing to go for employed wise unless you go self-employed and try get a few days between company's. 

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places/time of year..

I'm currently in utility work and want to switch to domestic work as the level you have to work to pushes you to become a skilled Arborist and not just another chainsaw swinger. 

Anyone else stuck looking at Arbjobs and indeed aswell?
