  1. Get a hetas registered bod in once a year or every other year and let them do the dirty work. Plus you’ll get your sweep cert that you can keep and put in your file with your buildings insurance, as you need a maintenance record to comply with your insurance. (Thats not set in stone though, as not all insurance companies stipulate it.... yet! But i’m sure it will come, as more and more insurance companies are starting to put it in place)
  2. Give it some body TLC paul, looks a tidy thing for its age otherwise [emoji106]
  3. The short fat air intake is what narrows it down, and ridged bonnet, prob more rare as its got a cab.
  4. I would assume its previously been neglected then, shame for it.
  5. Suprised its gone faulty at 115K they usually last near double that, is he the only owner its had?
  6. Theyre mega bucks to buy new, and hold their price used too. He gave about £500 for it i think, if i remember rightly, but he would EASILY get his money back on it and more in 12 months time.
  7. Its a shame cos i love the look of em, but they really are money pits. Lad at works just bought a 110 special edition 2007 td5 with roof tent and rack and allsorts of extras. I smiled when he put it over the pit... but 2 mins of poking round underneath soon brought me back to reality!!!
  8. You must love being in debt!? For either outcome! [emoji6]?
  9. If it went in then surely it must be able to come out, and as its now half size too. Exhaust off as htb says is prob best answer, or try a small drill bit to grip it and guide it out possibly. Patience tho mucker, thats the biggest help.
  10. Could try skytec brand, look very similar to yours, (they do allsorts) or Juba, again similar but are defo tighter round the wrist than skytec, and again there are lots of variations. They even do some kevlar mixed material gloves that might favour you guys that swing in trees from an abrasion point of view.
  11. The fuel and water will sit / separate apart from one another, water is more dense than fuel so will sit lower. You will find the dirty rusty water in the bottom of your jar with the diesel sat on the top after a nights rest / settling. Presumably if you have opened a tap, then you will more than likely have a water separator filter / primary fuel filter arrangement separate from a main fuel filter. For peace of mind and best practice, if you have found water / rusty shite at separator / primary filter, then you should fully drain off all contaminated fuel from said filter AND also change your main fuel filter. The fact you have noticed such significant power losses suggests you’ve had quite a dose of it in your fuel system. I’m not familiar with Valtra set up personally but i’m sure others on here are and will be along to offer more advice shortly [emoji106]
  12. Nice watch [emoji106] laughed at end with your use of tyres as cushions for impact.
  13. Defo want to be on air for that set up.
  14. [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]....... boring!!! [emoji42][emoji42][emoji42]
  15. Prob cos i’m on mobile app [emoji106]
  16. 6ft 8” [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15] ft stands for “fucking tall” in your case then ??? ah well, keep us posted on your buy [emoji106]
