  1. Sorry about the photos being upside down - I'm sure they were right way up when I put them on. The saw seems to have had little use. I made the mistake of boasting how easily my own Echo saw recently sold on here and and got asked to advertise this.
  2. Selling for a friend who has no computer access. EFCO petrol chainsaw. 14inch bar, 39cc, 2.3hp. In excellent condition complete with instruction book, bar cover and multi tool. Less than 12 moths old it's a current model selling online for around £160. £100 collected from Basildon, Essex area or can send for £10 extra.
  3. This is my gun. Having now decided not to renew my certificate at the end of the year I am looking for offers. The gun will also come with some extra extended chokes, a quality Napier gun slip and an additional thinner Inflex recoil pad to alter LOP.
  4. Sold to themayor58 (Martyn) Thanks
  5. Thanks for that R6demon. CS-310ES. It's a current model and full details are on Echo-Tools website plus plenty on Youtube. Thanks for your interest
  6. Lightweight 1.5hp Echo chainsaw in good, clean condition. Starts and runs well. No damage, just cosmetic marks on mouldings. Fitted with 14inch bar and chain. Despite being their entry level saw it is built to the same quality as their upper range products. Yours for £95, less than half new internet price. Can be seen running near Basildon, Essex or can send for £10.
  7. I gave up on my wood decking after a few years. Never had rats before but they do like to breed/live under decking. Also the wood surface, even grooved, gets greasy and slippery in wet weather. Just my personal experience.
  8. Not forgetting you need planning permission to put up a fence over 2 metres high. An amicable solution is always the best - a little bit of give and take because you've got to get on with your neighbours or you'll soon be looking to move.
  9. I don't think Hamilton can rely on many votes from this forum for Sports Personality of the Year.
  10. Totally agree with using Aspen fuels. You can leave it in the machine all year round without fear of gumming up. Aren't Mitox rebranded Chinese products?
  11. Be interesting to see what happens at the Grand Prix this weekend - will Mr Hamilton be kneeling on his own? Mercedes can paint their cars black in support of BLM but I've yet to hear them apologise for using white slave labour to produce vehicles to support Hitler's war efforts.
  12. Google Tony Timpa and ask why there were no demonstrations after his death in Dallas in 2016. Look at the police bodycam video and it might give a clue.
  13. Exciting time coming up. Might help if you tell us what breed as that can influence recommendations.

    MOT

    Quite agree. There are too many out there who ignore the advisories, or whatever they're now called, and assume the car's safe for 12 months. So now they assume the car's safe for an extra 6 months. My neighbour moaned about his exhaust falling off a week after his MOT but it was noted during the test. Six months later his wife braked hard in the wet and skidded into a parked car - partially seized caliper had been noted during MOT but he ignored the advice because "the car must be safe for another year because it passed the test" I used to carry out Thorough Examinations - the equivalent to MOTs on fork trucks and plant and if a fault was found that did not require immediate rectification you gave a time scale for the repair to be completed.
  15. I can see the logic in opposing views on this subject. This subject was covered recently on TV. If you have travel insurance you must pay the balance on time to be able to make any claim. No insurance company will consider a claim if you are in breach of contract by not paying on time. A question for the holiday home owners - do you ensure your customers take out insurance to cover cancellation? It could prevent a lot of arguments and bad feeling.

    Why ?

    You don't need to go on Facebook to boast - this is an open forum so all the anti's can read your comments on here.
  17. Low mileage often means short journeys when the engine struggles to get up to temperature. That's when there's a lot of condensation created which degrades the oil.
  18. Move the money into your own current account and when you pick the car up the money can be transferred to the dealer immediately using your debit card. Dealers, in my experience, will not take anything more than a deposit using a credit card because of the charges they have to pay.
  19. Where's Doc Holliday when we need some clarification of his problem
  20. I bought a pre-reg 2013 diesel Forester and thought it was great. The permanent four wheel drive system is brilliant and it regularly returned around 50mpg. First MOT it got an advisory on a leaking rear shock absorber. It was changed under warranty but I was advised the other side was weeping and would probably fail the next year's test when it would be chargeable. I asked the price and was told the one they had just fitted would have been best part of £1,000 parts and labour! The good news was resale value was excellent when I sold it just before the next MOT. Great car but beware the cost of parts and lack of pattern parts.
  21. I live in Essex and my licence is up for renewal next Autumn. My GP has indicated he is opposed to completing the form and no other local surgeries are taking on new NHS patients. Without paying for something like Medcert I will be forced to give up shooting unless the situation changes. The shooting organisations need to get active if they want to retain members as I can't see people renewing membership once they're no longer shooting.
  22. This change in the law is aimed at the "travelling community" who can only be moved off land with a court order which takes some days by which time the land has been covered in rubbish. Living in an area rife with the problem I welcome anything which will stop this abuse and the amount of tax payers money wasted moving them on. I don't think the general public will be inconvenienced and, as previously mentioned, shooters should avoid armed trespass which is already a criminal offence.
  23. With Starling you can pay in cash at Post Office, cheques you send Freeport.
  24. This is my gun. I can include a Buffalo River gunslip plus a 3/8 Briley extended choke and a 2in long 1/4 extended choke if anyone's tempted
