.... them gas axe sparks like to get air borne ....... but would agree in general MB .... don't think you'd see much benefit of a 'chute lofted at that height though ....... 'specially with the sort of wind we've been having here this afters .... has knocked the leccy off three times been wild, but at least it's been dry today ... mostly ...... would've been horibloodyzontal otherwise

Looks like a tool for taking large plastic hold down screw from a fuel pump/sender unit on a car

so ....... Clara arrived at 7.45 this morning ...... Vicki says " you know the CH pump you came and tweaked last year ? " ... " could you call by after dropping Clara off and give it another one ..... pretty please " ..... keep telling 'em to just run the thing every couple of weeks when not in use
Dropped little 'un off at nursery at 9 and nipped up to the village ... sorted said pump with a quick flick of the driver in the armature hole and away it went. Cap back on the pump and headed home.
I'd just pulled round a friend out walking his dogs in the lane heading for Druid central, put me toe down to pull away and ...... nada .. dead stick .... thought I'd stalled it - God knows how - but pulled in for a restart ... won't do it on the move .... and would it bloody start
so... walked the last two miles home after shoving the Golf, back into the hedge/verge as far as I could ... least it wasn't raining
Spoke to a mate as I walked back ... "Fuel pump Gra ... known for it ... fine one second, dead the next ..... under the back seat squab is an access hole ... not too bad a job " ............ thank f**k it didn't die on Pam on the way home from Plymouth last week
She was surprised to look up from her weeding and see me stood beside her ....... "get yer coat - we're going for a pull "
Shot back up in the Rangey, stuck a rope on it and dragged it back to me patch
Back seat squab took some extracting ... doubt it'd ever been out, but sure enough there was the access
note the unit locking ring ...... ..... only evident after 5 min.s with me trusty hoover, clearing all the crap off the top of the tank ...... couldn't believe the amount of crud that'd collected !! ..... and didn't want any of it ending up inside it
what a bar steward that was....... hence the earlier posts .... no way José was it coming off/out, without either buying summat from VAG if you could find one ...... or getting creative
even with my foot on top of it and a 10" adjustable on the leg ... it still had to be tapped loose ... and i mean TAPPED!!
it did surrender though ...
and the suspect ended up where most things do ..........
on me bench ..... an application of 12volts soon determined the lil' bar steward'd given up the un-ending struggle with gravity ... and'd quit being a team player
Lunch and an ebay sesh later and I have one coming ......... into me local factors in the a.m. at 08.00 ..... 108 quid ..... ebay was anything between 48 quid, but Tues/Wed.s (maybe?) and 178 quid .. same speed ...... so went for the local and OE unit ... sod it ... want it sorted and it's VAG/OE ... or had better be ... was what I was told/sold for the bucks
Not been my month for fuel pumps, eh !!
on the plus side ......... I did have a nice 'score' with this Tuesday .....
pity it's missing its 'woodboss' badge, but came from a trusted friend who's had it donkeys and only uses it for his wood burner these days.
he's bought summat smaller, lighter and easier to start (like auto recoil thingy) .... and I've had first dibs on this one for years ... new pot and piston 12 months ago, new chain last month and running like clockwork ..... a hundred quid sounded like a bargain to me ... so's not been all s h 1 t this week

that is so close to the truth Shaun
... note that there are SEVEN notches in the ring .... just to be ****ing awkward ..... no way would i have gotten that undone without it .... without possibly doing serious damage .... it's a clever lock ring, but could be just as clever with 4, 6 or 8 notches .... seven is just taking the piss ... 72 degree spacing

At least you had an access panel. Last one I did, I had to make my own!

...... 'swhy I had to drop the whole tank off the P38 ..... there are some horror stories/vid.s on youtube of how some folks have hacked a hole in the floor of their rangies, to access the unit ..... and then still struggled with knackered fuel lines.... in fairness to the Golf ... easy off, clip on, placcy quick fit lines ...... but the ring was a bitch Thanks for the seal of approval... the Sthil just had to be had for the money James
.... will handle a much bigger bar .... which is why I particularly wanted it ... and it has the rep. of being one of the best saws they ever made

Stihl farmboss is pretty much indestructible - probably run on red if that’s all you had!

bigger unit again, than the Woodboss, with equally high regard and rep.
... harder to come by though, in decent nick

I’d have a punt that they are the same saw with a different pot and piston. Relatively low revving really torquey durable lumps - bargain at £100 with known provenance.
