I feel sure you will find something suitable here at International Paints http://www.yachtpaint.com/france/default.asp

Thanks for that, the wiring digram shows fuses exist, but have to say can't remember seeing any and that's now the problem until I go back over to have a look. Most annoying but worth waiting I think.
-
Well these are just the "normal" small brownish ones, but we have seen a few of the larger shy green ones around. Sad to say I accidently caught one in the horrible plastic shutters we still have on one of the doorways and it's tail just dropped off in front of me, wriggling for quite a while. I realise of course this is one of their self defense mechanisms and so now have my own stumpy, though he hasn't been seen for a while.
As I said before, fascinating to watch and something I'd like to research a little more when I get time. -
Not an answer, but just to say ours in 72 seem to really like grasshoppers. Watching them the other day, they seem to wait for just that moment when the 'hopper lands and before it has presumably saved the energy to take off again. Fascinating to watch during a hard earned break.
-
Not sure why, but seemed to remember that I should listen specifically for a click. If I remember correctly it just didn't work one day. It's a long story covering a long period of time, but lack of use and therefore flat battery. A recharge allowed me to start it manually, sporadic use and then I exported it to France, but the neglected long grass there meant that it was effectively useless, until the recent purchase of a 2 wheel tractor. The cleared land is now manageble with the Westwood and pleased to say, probably is now worth repairing. Certainly over such a long period of time the battery must be considered poor.
Many thanks for the suggestion, think it would be worth finding a new battery and possibly investigate the solenoid replacement just in case.
-
I wonder if anyone can help with this one. Part of problem now is that the mower is in France and I'm now back in UK. Had thoughts of sourcing a starter motor while back here, but now find there are a possible 3 versions for my tractor. Also and more importantly, have a niggling doubt that it is the starter itself anyway. Everything ok when using the manual pull cord (but wife can't manage it and I have to stop what I'm doing when it stalls - usually when at the farthest point on our property!) - when I turn the key to the start position nothing happens, not even a click, so could it be the solenoid?
Would be glad to hear any suggestions.

If you have a Verts Loisirs anywhere near you, they do a version which they say is exclusive to them as Robomow, ranging in price from 999e to 2199e - have no idea about quality etc.

Thanks Austin and sorry for delay, no Internet yet in France - appreciate all help

[quote user="Pickles"]As you say, you're just trying to get the gist of things so it's easier and quicker than carting a dictionary around ... why not get one?
Regards
Pickles
[/quote]Just to be clear on this, the IRISPen requires it to be attached to a computer/laptop so a dictionary in this case would probably be better.
As for other languages, this one certainly does, you buy the one with the set that you want included and decide upfront which language pair to install. Off the top of my head can't remember them, but think my one came with Russian, German and possibly Spannish. I take the point about the translation, the gist of which suits what I wanted.
Being a shy and retiring type, not sure I could face standing at a trade counter using something like this.[:$] -

Anybody got experience of these gadgets ?

hi Ernie
Not a Quicktionary, but have an IRISPen. I wanted something that could scan articles or extracts from books to keep handy articles in a database, often finding that with a flatbed the spine is usually in the way. The translation part was secondary, but importantly needed to output to a page rather than onboard in a screen. The scanner itself is pretty good, but like any other depends on the paper and fonts used, everything has to be checked . As to the translation part, I'm no expert, I'm at work at the moment so show below something done today, perhaps you or another can look at it and tell me if it's any good! I don't have anything handy in French to show the other way around.

I'm only guessing what you want to know and will be away for the next couple of weeks, but just to sum up, it's a little fiddly and not as good as a flatbed using say Abby Fine Reader. It is useful but have not used it as much as expected (if that makes any sense). Let me know if I can help any further.

Have had some success with a Vulkan EPI Brace, admittedly the injury was caused by golf and has occured twice now over a period of 5 years, but both times after a couple of weeks wearing, not constantly, more on than off to start with, it seems to be successful. So much so that my wife is currently trying it for the same reason.
It cost around £20 + delivery, fit's just below the elbow, and is a plastic U shape with connecting elastic velcro. I think available in 3 sizes and applies gentle pressure and support to those muscles at the side. You should be able to find it with a Google search
Hope this is of some help, very painfull.[Www]

Thus, George, without wishing to look a gifthorse in the mouth or become curmudugeonly, after your kind posting, I think JR and I and possibly a few others, will keep looking for the correct acid which will (guaranteed!) dissolve the baked limestone or if you like Calcium Oxide (see here: http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-76639/cement#609156.hook).
[/quote]
No problem, considered something of a cynic myself, it took me a while to remember the name, do a search and was pleased to find it. I do remember it being recommended to me by contractors, along with warnings about not leaving it near tools. Eventually they gave me some to try, but don't honestly recall actually using it. A couple of moves along the way, I've no idea where it went, so obviously can't actually endorse the product.
Perhaps someone else has tried it?
-
There's a product called Disclean and available in UK from this source:-

Would be interested to know which one you went for in the end, particularly with regards to power and cutting width etc. Still have a month or so to finally decide.

Have another site to try if any help http://www.grosbill.com

[quote user="londoneye"]
A supplementary question to sneak in here.
I need to buy something with which to mow the grass - ....................................................... I have searched and read all of the postings I can find on the subject, but can't actually find an answer to one question - could anyone tell me why a self-propelled mower is better than a ride-on with bumpy ground ? And how bumpy is bumpy - I would say that some of the lumps and bumps in my garden are around 8 or 9 inches high.
If anyone can bear to answer, I would really be grateful !!
[/quote]
I'm in a similar situation and have read everything I can on the subject. Have kind of decided but still not done anything about it until I go back in June. If it's not too late, one other thing you should consider is the amount of power it will take to propel yours and the additional mower weight. ie take care not to buy anything under powered. It's a long story, but my existing Westwood 12hp belt driven ride on will not cope with our negelected sloping land, however it might if it were cut regularly and will no doubt be better in the dry summer.[+o(]

Hi
I'm using Calypso - the old form of Courier; but I don't feel that is the problem as I checked all avenues there.....................................................As I grew to hate the Orange software more and more I uninstalled it and re-connected via an ethernet cable. Now the links in emails don't open at all. It seems to me that if I can re-establish a link to IE then all will be well. But I have no idea how to do that. Has anyone any ideas?

I know nothing about Calypso, but a couple of things you could try. I also feel sure that the removal of the Orange software is responsible so now you need to establish the links again. Suggestion would be to try to re-install Calypso over the top, if there is an installation routine. This may very well re-establish the links. You have IE (vers?), just check in Internet Properties, Programs tab and see which ones it is linking to from there, I doubt this last point will fix the immediate problem, but would probably cause another problem later in reverse. Having done all that a reboot just might work. If this fails and assuming you have all the relevant backups and setup info, my next thought would be along the same lines, but removing Calypso completely then reinstall.
Hope this is of some help, frustrating aren't they.

.....................What do you make?
[/quote]
Sorry Chris, didn't mean to be rude, re reading this thread and realised I missed this.
Probably would have to say varied. Have made several pieces of pine furniture, repair and restoration of existing pieces and many diy type projects for a few house moves. Much of my woodwork has been limited by available space and facilities, but now in the process of recreating a small workshop in France and looking forward to a little more time. All subject of course to fitting in with the other "normal" electrical, plumbing, building work and the odd round of golf. [;-)]By comparison to some of you guys, just a dabbler really, but being able to create something useful, pleasant to look at that will hopefully last, is something I will always enjoy.

My father was a cabinet maker and did all his by eye and feel, with no jigs, but I could never get the knack. Though I've discovered since that he bought a small wetstone grinder (Burgess I think). He never mentioned it and think perhaps he never mastered that and just put it at the back of a cupboard.
Thanks for all your thoughts, will probably have to persevere with the oilstone, especially now I've inherited one or two more albeit well used and certainly not flat.
-
Sadly I've only seen a dead one, I wouldn't want to harm them, except in the middle of the night. There's not too much to damage in our loft at the moment, it's just the noise of nuts rolling around and the odd scampering sounds, magnified in the early hours. Would love to see them, they certainly seem interesting creatures.
-
mmm Well thanks for that guys, I'll look into the Tormek. Think it might be a bit expensive for my needs and suppose I was looking for an easy to use, convenient and cheap option! Should know better.
Still, I could always buy a Norm shirt and pretend - do you think he really does all that on his own? I'm certainly suprised he still has all his bits (or does he) and you never see him wearing a plaster. Whenever I start a project I always imagine ending up like the Michelin man. ;-)

Within the Box Joint thread the subject of sharpening came up and of particular interest to me is the idea of a Sharpening Station - for me and others I'm sure, this has always been a problem and no doubt use tools until they are far too blunt because I dread having to do it and possible spoil a good blade. My father showed me how to use his oilstones, but confess to resorting to a jig for this and have inherited a couple of grinders, etc. Being of a certain age and hoping to spend a bit more time on woodwork in the coming years, if there is such a thing to go for, what would anyone recommend?
In the UK I'm not too far from the new Axminster store nr. Sittingbourne so suppose I could ask them directly, but would be nice to know what others do beforehand.

The manual doesn't show anything, so will have to wait until next visit - probably September now, so thanks for all your help. Will update sometime after that.
