Thanks for replies, the options above are a good start and you've got me thinking along the right lines- the option below is only 50 quid delivered, top quality and 3 year warranty, just bought one RS PRO Modified Sine Wave 300W Power Inverter, 12V dc Input, 230V ac Output | RS UK.RS-ONLINE.COM

With electric costs what they are, I'm thinking it will make perfect sense to charge 18V batteries for the 540i from the winter pack 2 battery set up in my 4x4, all that is required is an inverter wired in. It's unlikely I'm going to need to use the inverter for anything with higher requirement so my question is does someone know offhand what sort of output inverter is sensible without going too far up the scale, as the prices of Durite versions for example, are not cheap generally. TIA

Not something I've had to think about yet, but I own one and and at some point this will be useful info if someone has done it

Cheers for all replies. Bafflingly the next afternoon I handed it to mate who was going to drop it off at ag merchants, and after a few squeezes it started again. So, iffy trigger of connection somewhere is all

So, I've been running the above saw alongside a 555 for occasional use on chestnut coppice, only using the electric unit for stems up to six maybe 7 inch, and I guess since buying it in April it's scarcely cut an acre (days off, holidays, wet weather all impacting use). I bought it not new new but prior owner had literally bought on a whim, tidied his garden up for a few hours, then sold it to me, with warranty until 2023. Today it made a slightly rattly noise that made me wonder if the sprocket was playing up, and then wouldn't go when trigger squeezed. I have looked to see if there is anything obvious that could stop one of these other than low battery, and drawn a blank so far. Motor failure? If that's the case I doubt I'll buy another, not for the best part of a grand with a few batteries. Just curious if anyone else has put a pro grade electric ground saw through its paces but found that they are not likely to last very long before needing serious attention.

Yes you're right there, it is time to apply as this government seems hell bent on making everything hard work

Going back to Mike Hill's last response, I totally agree that FAC's can't be handed out to just anybody here and that we do have a disproportionately large number of frankly, prats in the UK whom you couldn't trust with a BB gun let alone a HMR round doing a few thousand fps. There was about an hour on R4 the other week about hunting in France and several people have been killed in recent years by over enthusiastic hunters letting loose in the wrong direction, with no backstop - and restrictions on ownership over there are very minimal. Then again, in Scandinavia rifle ownership is high and accidents are I believe largely rare. As food costs rise I like the idea of rabbits or woodies for the table, and I probably will apply for open FAC on air rifles but not even sure I'd get granted that - I think they are getting harder on handing them out.

Turmeric thins the blood, so if you were on warferin, you wouldn't want to be taking the capsules that are available or substantial quantities daily without medical supervision but I don't see the odd few grams on a curry being an issue. I do take the capsules but up till now my blood seems ok thankfully
-
This, agreed. They've used it in herbal medicine for aeons and providing you're not on blood thinning meds I've heard a lot of people swearing by it. If you have arthritis chances are your system is too acidic and you need to eat and drink stuff that will alkalise it, easiest way to find out how is the search engines

A society where damn near everything you are doing is monitored isn't going in the right direction IMO, and I'm as guilty as most in that I don't try to prevent that personally, too much. The main issue is you can finish up a lot like China, and regardless of if many of us can see that coming I think it is, and faster than you might think

You're right, though 25 litre drums shouldn.t present an issue - I pay just over 88 quid for a drum in Kent and if you weigh that against 1.60 odd for super unleaded plus decent 2 stroke, it isn't loads more. I'm using that in forestry saws so they are running near constantly for hours. If it lessens the risk of cancer, it's worth the extra (and its coming off your tax bill)

In my experience a gap between the doughnut and the chassis on most of the XP's is pretty normal though yes that possibly is a bit worn

I bought a Sonim XP5 from the States (via Ebay), they are cheap as chips over there as they are pretty common, and if you get a used one there's no duty. They are pretty much unbreakable and waterproof military-grade but more importantly than anything else the sound quality is excellent, I have had several CAT phones and they are very durable but a lot of the time people struggled to hear at the other end. And battery life is super. Or as J said the Ulefone models are pretty good but I still managed to break the screen on mine
