  1. I've used white spirit before. The Stihl stuff looks like a proper can for £6 in the picture but actually it's only 50ml - not tried it at that price but am curious.

  2. Seems to depend on the weight but these will be decent at £120+, just noticed Stubby called them indespension units, my dad has always called them that. Trick might be to find some that fit your wheels else you'd be in for wheels and tyres on top.

  3. I read this yesterday and happened to be in the car on the way home when Sara Cox had some people phone in. Painful. Just painful.
  4. How will you chip it? I guess if you get someone like Justin Kingwell in to chip they'll know the best way to move it on.
  5. Turns out to be a 4 way tipper......
  6. Rubber trailer suspension. https://www.peakdynamics.co.uk/products/product-overview.aspx?pid=5eb14560-47f6-4fcc-84ac-66d25865695f
  7. I'd be interested if you go ahead and get it through planning. My feeling is the tree will be fine, willows stand an enormous amount of abuse above ground and sprout back. The RPA is obviously standardised and not right for every tree anyway, some roots will be outside that but there's plenty of room for it to seek water in the rest of the lawn.
  8. Aren't working visas for Aus, NZ Canada easier when under 30? Fly now while you still can!
  9. True, but either way it's their decision, you just need to get them on site to advise.
  10. You need to talk to your DNO (distribution network operator), they will probably suggest a shutdown. This depends on your area, round here UKPN and if you go on their website there's a section on tree trimming. Live working is another whole kettle of fish requiring qualifications, network approvals, different insurance etc etc - not happening for the likes of me and you.
  11. Man that'd have a hell of a shake, imagine that going off as you pull the ring!
  12. To me joining would probably make sense anyway, have to be hell of a thickness to hold flat at 1.2m wide so going to weigh half a ton. Guess you could try to find something like cedar, be a bit lighter than oak or ash.
  13. I'd buy a tacho, not super expensive, in fact probably cheaper than a service from a dealer. I bought one so I could be confident what's going on, it's worked well.
  14. Fair enough, I'll think of something else to spend £160 on for fun. Or just pay van tax and insurance.
  15. I was looking earlier and turns out a Husqvarna 120 is only £160 so I guess they wanted something to compete on price with that. The 120 is 38cc and 1.4kW though so chunk more power and roller tip bar. I'm tempted to get one just for fun, so cheap.
  16. I'm really amazed at that, can't think of another solid nose on a small saw? Not even in Aldi. Maybe they reckon no nose roller is better than a bad one.
  17. Wow that is cheap as chips.
  18. It's just a big M20 but isn't it? If you bought a few washers and nut from Spalding fasteners would work and be cheap but less convenient.
  19. Ok, for me Aviva renewal 440 up from 390. Direct Line want 620. I'm going to get Aviva renewed before they put the price up. I think this just proves it's a total lottery doesn't it.
  20. Blimey I'd better check Direct Line too then
  21. Yes, with a petrol engine. Maybe a thousand times better but sadly thick end of 10 times more expensive.
  22. I was recommended these people although not had a job come up. Thought it would be too far but if it could go to Northants then would be going past. Noted that although they say British hardwoods they sell cedar. Products | mactimbers.com MACTIMBERS.COM
  23. Aviva's been ok for me on the Defender, they even include breakdown cover for a reasonable fee which is a good deal on an 18 year old Landrover. Renewal has gone up to be fair but not as much as yours.
  24. Upgrade for the M500... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C12CZUeoZ32/?igsh=OGN3dzdiNm1lc3dt&fbclid=IwAR2BnRf1hg7oAKsFABjr_CkmI4c25QsbHYgXr50OPLaYt0-WblJzfxiyIAw
  25. Nope, climbed in one of those although just a trial. Treehog still the worst, instantly you wonder how they managed to make something so uncomfortable.
