The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Having a decent catch up on here after a hectic few days at both home and work. Boxed up most of my worldly posessions in readiness for moving out ( all but my computer and model collection ) and decided to order myself a new bed too. Finally got my Gran moved into a care home after her last random wander resulted in a fall and subsequent broken arm. Had a ride up to my Uncle's farm this morning to get some fresh air and take my first action photographs with my new camera, now relaxing at home stuffing my face with my Mum's baking.

Really nice out there and the first true day of T-shirt weather here despite the -5 frost last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Made a start on this years felled beech today. Cut around ten tonne in four hours for a chap we process firewood for and deliver it to his premises for his winter trade. Nearly all of it went through the eight and ten way splitters, exactly what we want for efficiency. Boss was pretty pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Got out on the bike again this morning and did 35 miles. This afternoon mowed all the grass, 2nd time this year - very mild in Cornwall see Also dug some nice dung into the veg patch, Must get the onion sets in this week if it stays dry, and see if the vintage rotovator will fire up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 A ride in a recovery truck from Kinross to Drumoak with the A4 on the back. Well heck I had to get a lift home the price of fuel these days ;) Seriously.... glow plug lamp warning light came on flashing on route from Gretna to Kinross yesterday and lost any turbo power. I called RAC this morning and they sent 2 separate recovery trucks for me (the first being a local driver versus distance). We left Kinross at 8am and was at the Garage in Drumoak at 10.10 so the recovery man made good time on the 100 mile journey. Now awaiting a call from "Bangers" to see what the problem is after he puts it through the computer this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 ah the joys of limp home mode.... i believe the glow plug light on an A4 is meant to tell you there's an engine management fault. so could be almost anything controlled by the ECU, so anything engine wise, MAF sensor, lambda sensors, cat, injectors, glow plugs etc etc... it will just get plugged into an OBDII diagnostics and that will give a specific fault code for the part which is no longer working... hope it's not too expensive, i believe diagnostics is about £80 a pop...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 my guess is the Lambda sensor... common part to fail as it lives in extreme conditions... whatever way... I hope it's painless Uncle William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
