No, I'm not going to 'visit' someone :D

I need to remove an almond tree in the corner of my yard before I can install my pool. Wanna hack it down this weekend, so if anyone in Adelaide has one I can borrow, I'd be happy.

I've used chainsaws many times, so I'm not about to lopp off a limb. Plus I'll have the blades sharpened upon return, so you have it returned in better condition than borrowed.

Anyone?

:blink:

lol, you can tell Ruby is back coz there is already 3 new threads up :D

But serious, kennards hire?

Hoping to avoid having to hire one. Done so before and its expensive and the equipment breaks down. :blink:

I've got 3 trees to remove from my property, but I need to remove one tree now to put in my order for the pool, then hire a bobcat (to prepare the area for the pool).

If I can save a few $ by borrowing one, I'd be happy! :O

You got a problem with my whoring? :D

Roo, I've got one you can borrow on a "you break, you fix" policy :( ......................going to Villis Friday night?

EDIT: Also got a mate that runs a Bobcat business.

Thanks Pete, I'm keen on borrowing that chainsaw. You'll get it in better condition than how you lent it out :kiss: I think the missus has something on Friday night, so I'll get back to you on a time/place to collect.

Also interested in that mate of yours. Its a small job to skim about 10cm of turf from our back yard in an area approx 8m x 4m. I'm installing a pool which has T-bone type wall supports which are hidden the surface (hence the 10cm skimming).

:P

Hey Roo, have you forgotten who owned and ran a pool business for more than 10 years...... :(

I'm aware of that you nitwit :) I'm just wanting to remove the tree. This weekend we're going to organise delivery of the pool. Then I was going to harrass you into giving us a hand ;) I was just going to politely wait for a suitable time when you and Nene are having a better week.

;)

Nope. Still in one piece. hate to disappoint people :)

Bloody chainsaw wouldn't start :) Its got spark. Unplugged the lead and turned it over a few times, but can't see any evidence of fuel getting in there. I'm taking the lawnmower to the mower place tomorrow, so I'll have them check over your chainsaw too. Bloody home gardening crap :(

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
