SRS fault should clear. GEMS needed a reset, Thor clears as soon as the fault is no longer there.

No need to apologise Tony, I just hated the thing. Uncomfortable, heavy, slow, didn't handle, diabolical brakes but as a friend said at the time, in order of sophistication there are cars, motorcycles, agricultural vehicles and Harley's. Closer to a two wheeled tractor than a motorcycle. I can sort of understand it for the US with miles of straight roads and a 55mph limit. With your feet forward and high bars, at anything over 60mph your body is the airbrake, at 70mph it tries to detach your arms from your shoulders.......

They've sent you a set for the later layout, not the early one. 95 to 97 uses the ones you have, the ones you've been sent are for MY97 onwards. Did they come direct from Goodridge themselves?

Wait until the headlining is out, then you can get to the drain tubes. 2 birds, 1 stone.......

Did mine in the summer. Ideally you need 3 people, one each side to hold the material clear of the shell while the third presses it down (I used a small foam covered paint roller). The Martrim kit comes with 3 cans of glue, use plenty in the hollows, but beware, once the two parts stick, they are stuck so if you get it wrong or get any creases, they are there forever. The hardest part is getting the old glue off the shell (wire brush seemed the best way) and deciding what you are going to do with the pillar trims. The old flock comes off easily enough with a scraper and cellulose thinners or white spirit to clean them up again. The foam backed headlining can't easily be used on the pillar trims as you can't get a clean edge where the seatbelt mountings slide.

Not known it before but it could be the roof rail, the seam in the metal underneath it or, most likely if it's ever had a replacement windscreen, the screen seal itself.

It isn't the amount of fuel they use but the tiny fuel tanks. I had to deliver a Harley 1340 Fat Boy to Paris and the cheapest option was to ride it there and fly back. Bloody thing only did 90 miles before it had to be put on reserve! Also the most uncomfortable motorcycle I have ever ridden in my life so stopping every 90 miles was actually a benefit but made the journey take forever.

Had a PM on the other site from Ash or Ash saying he couldn't log in again. I just tried logging out (which I don't normally do) and logging back in again and confirmed that you do need to log in 5 times. On the 5th attempt the Captcha box pops up and it lets you in. Hopefully, if people see this when not logged in, it'll tell them what they need to do in the meantime until it's sorted out.

The Captcha has only just been added to stop the automated spam messages that started appearing. No doubt Gordon will see this and have a look at what the problem might be.

But was the right sensor changed? If the Nano is reporting problems with two (a fault on rear left but no voltage from the front left), it may be that the wrong one was replaced. I think that was the problem with Morat's car, one sensor was replaced but the fault was still there until one of the others was changed too.

Easiest test you can do as a starter is to measure the resistance of the sensors. The faulty one is the one that reads differently to the others and will probably be open circuit. They are only a coil so a break means they don't work.

We found this at the last summercamp on Morat's car. There was a faulty ABS sensor but Nano showed it to be a different one depending on what menu you used to look at it. There's been a firmware update for the Nano since which may well have cured it. It was Morat, Marty and Sloth who found the problem, one of them should be able to tell you what it was.

You'll find you've got 2 PMs from me on the other site, the first one gave me an error when I sent it and I assumed it hadn't gone. I registered that username after getting my ban under this one but it seems that RRTH has realised it is still me. The first post I made with the new username appeared after it had been checked that it didn't break any of their rules and then disappeared shortly afterwards. Since then, any posts in threads just don't appear but I can still send PMs. If you look at the users that post on here regularly, you'll find quite a lot of familiar names, mostly people that really do know what they are talking about.

You got here then, welcome.

To answer the question of a couple of pages back, I've done a cross country run to Shropshire and back tonight. The LPG tank in mine is an 80 litre toroidal so takes 66-67 litres to fill from completely empty. I filled up when setting off and then stopped to refill 203.5 miles later and it took exactly 61 litres. So I'd have got about another 15 miles out of it before it ran out. You can fit a 90 litre full toroidal (one without the hole in the middle and the outlet on the outside) which will take about 75 litres to fill so should be good for 230 miles or so. Obviously you'll use more if running around town, but that's the sort of range you can expect on a run without going to a custom tank setup.

Except as photobucket isn't playing nicely for me, only my pictures are showing for me and not yours......

Getting closer, but you need to click on the image button above.

enter image description here

That causes a box to pop up and you paste the link to your picture in the box

enter image description here

and then your picture will appear in the post,

Don't use the IMG link from Photobucket, use the Direct one (second one down).

Is imgur another free one Gordon? I've been using Photobucket but just recently images from there either take minutes to appear or don't at all. I Googled it and it seems a lot of people are finding the same thing.

I had the progress bar and stop recording button. I stopped the recording but didn't shut the Nano down. Oddly, assuming it had recorded the EAS correctly, out of interest I tried it on the HEVAC on the way home and that recorded perfectly and saved the file.
