  1. Would all depend whether you still had documents/proof that matched the one advertised before police could get involved. But i would contact the insurance that you were involved with for sure. Always good to catch the culprits/thieves, but the seller on ebay may not be the thief.
  2. Good on ya, you throw it all in that cocoon with ya that has that one use only zip fitted to it. [emoji106]

    Spuds the miracle man on power outputs i’m afraid, i’m just a basic Fred in a shed man [emoji30] I cant find owt on a big bore kit Rough, unless your willing to going aftermarket. Personally, cos of its age and the fact they’re getting sought after and scarce, i’d just bring it back to life as standard original and hang it in the games room to be drooled at! But thats just my thoughts. I’ve just bought a meteor kit for my 036 i’m rebuilding. Comparing it to a recent bought nikasil cheapie...... the differences in build quality are worlds apart. Aftermarket be good enough for an occasional run up and use, but put to hard work in a forest daily or beasting through a trunk everyday milling like you do..... i think they’d shat theirselves in no time. Even more so if theyre ported and opened up. Plus you run risk of fudging bottom end too if it does decide to let go. Play safe i say, will give you greater rewards all round. ?

    Here ya go Rough, £115 cheaper than what you’ve seen. It’ll be fine coming from America, i’ve had quite a few bits via fleabay from america with no issues [emoji106] https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STIHL-CHAINSAW-090-PISTON-AND-CYLINDER-NEW-OEM-STIHL-66MM-1106-020-1211-/362192296676
  5. You havent posted any pics for a while, any new pieces to show us?
  6. You been at the sprouts again? [emoji6]
  7. Uvex foam bound. The pic shows the snug fit ones, you can also get some that are deeper, that sit further off ya face.
  8. Have you tried the close fit uvex with foam, same as pic above but have a foam barrier for against your face instead of rubber. Obviously slightly better breathability against the skin too. Yeah they attract a bit of sawdust but it literally just brushes off. Will post a pic at work tomoz of a pair.
  9. You best get to bank sharpish Steve, those tenners arent legal tender over counter anymore! [emoji6][emoji23]
  10. Ha!!! You fucking clown!!! ? and you deserve to be poked at for that one!!! ???
  11. Sorry Yolky, couldn’t resist! [emoji6]
  12. “We’re on an express elevator to hell!......... going down!”
  13. I’m stocking up with youtube vids on..... “how to survive a hard brexit” Thing is they’re all edited and directed by some bloke called “vespasian”........ he seems well up on the subject though!!!
  14. And i play out the sequel every day! [emoji6]
  15. Tidy thing, wants some better tyres on if your towing. Got odd tyres all round at min, mix of delinite and toyo by looks of it.
  16. “Vasquez..... you ever been mistaken for a man?” “Nope.... have you?”
  17. “Guess she don’t like the cornbread either!”
  18. As above, cheaper fuels contain slightly more bio than brand leaders do, hence the supermarket can offer it at a cheaper price. I would avoid filling your arb vehicles etc with commercial diesel too for this reason i.e your rangers, navaras, hilux, L200 types as the bio content is even higher, and your DPF will not agree with it over time which will land you with a large bill. Using it in full commercial use trucks is a different story as thats what its designed for.
  19. Empress very expensive, double price on most things to what waddy charges. Guy at timbermatic selling up, had enough. Travelling in from stockport every day has took its toll i think.
