    Looking at a 2002 model and the transmission appears to be Agroshift. Does anyone have any experience of this? Is it as hopelessly unreliable as the mf Dynashift or is it something completely different? Is there anything else to be aware of here. Help needed.

    Valve guides

    In course of renovating the head of a 4.326 engine and the kit has come with valve guides. I really can't see how to remove the old guides. I have tried the brute force method but I can make no headway at all. Is there a trick? Do they all come out and do they need to come out?

    3 CX ignition switch

    I have just changed the ignition switch on my 86/87 3cx. Machine starts okay but the buzzer keeps running and consequently the machine will not move forwards or back! I'm fairly sure that I put the wires in the same places but clearly, something has 'happened'. Any thoughts?

    Have been using a Ctek XS 7000 charger for several years now and have been pleased with the way it works etc. However this week I ran over it and squashed it flat. Is there a better charger on the market now or is it more of the same?

    Wayne Cole

    How do I..............

    I have a Suire logsplitter that needs new hoses all round. If I go to the local dealer he will do the job ok but charge me a small fortune.

    Ewe lambs: Freemartins

    Discussing our ewe lamb replacements ( all kept from twins) the other day and it appears that there is the possibility in male/female pairs of the female not breeding. I've been well aware of this in cattle but have never considered it in sheep. Does anyone know the likely incidence?
