Hi all, is anyone coming from Northumberland to West Midlands next week? I have bought a small Woodchipper and need to get it home. I'm going to book a courier, but thought I'd ask on here first. It needs to go in the back of a van, it can't be towed. I can find out dimensions if need be but I...

Thanks for the advice but did somebody get out of bed the wrong side this morning? : )

That's a very interesting post. I will check if new seals were fitted when I had my head skimmed a couple of years ago. To answer your question. No, I didn't really solve it completely but I did improve it. I went on to start this thread...

Probably a bad earth somewhere.

-10 and car won't start again. Would fitting this somewhere help? Trace Heating Frost Protection - Stop pipes freezing on eBay (end time 21-Dec-10 12:07:35 GMT) I wondered if I could wrap it around the fuel filter and plug into the mains 1st thing on a mega cold morning? Daz

Well, I left the battery on charge overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning I gave it 3x30 seconds glow and it started quite quickly. Outside temp was -6. It started this morning with just 1x30 seconds glow but temp was +4 (ish). I still don't think I've cured the problem but I must have...

I did this with the old (10 months old, but cheap) Glow Plugs and replaced a suspect one. However, last time I called out the RAC he said he still thought it was the glow plugs so I put a new set in. I used to hold the accelerator half way down (as shown by previous owner) but have kept my...

Following on from this thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/slow-turn-over-when-cold-but-not-battery-123336.html I'm still having cold starting problems but have come to the conclusion that it cranking as fast as any other car in -10 degrees. It's just not firing quick enough. FACTS...

Yes mate, I do/have done all that. Frustrating isn't it!

Started Sunday and Monday :) Didn't start this morning :confused: It's definately turning over better since stripping and cleaning the starter, but when cold, it just doesn't fire quick enough and I end up running the battery down. Once started, if I let it run for 5 minutes and turn it...

Following on from the above, it did start the next morning and I really thought I'd fixed it :) ...UNTIL a couple of days later and it wouldn't start again :( Called out RAC again, he put his jump leads on and it turned over much faster but was still hesitant to start but did in the end. RAC...

Cheers Rob, I wish I had known about this a few days ago. I've just renewed my wife's car insurance and bought my daughter a netbook - both online :doh: It looks like I may save some ££ via the AA though. Thanks. Daz

I did consider this, but as I was already a member, I'm sure they added it to their system.:(

Had my RAC renewal through recently and have decided to change my cover due to my wife getting cover via her Bank account. Went for Personal cover with "At home" and "Recovery" and got quoted £110.55. Told the lady that online, new members get it for £82.07 and she matched the price. So all...

Well, it started Ok Weds, Thurs and Fri BUT it hasn't been as cold. I Haven't used it since Friday afternoon so will give it a try later. Daz
