Sorry to hear that OB.
I have been stress free ever since mine went to its grave. Yes I really miss it but I now actually have some money in the bank and dont worry when going on long journeys anymore.
Luckily when mine was on its way out , the hammer managed to get it going again.
I wont ask what you use to grease the nipples with.
Trust you to want the ones not in the deal Richard.
I had my car 8 years and only did a service/oil change in its last year.
Nothing was broke or brittle. All went smoothly.
You might want to buy a 12v pump/extractor to make the refill a lot faster.
I bought one of these for about £15.
Your welcome Ob. It would be rude not to at that price .:)
Heads up.
Halfords have various NGK's pack of 4's for £5, either click and collect to your store for free or pay for delivery to home.
They might not be on the increase but they do hold their value.The only money you will lose on it , is the money you invest in keeping it going.
The good thing here in France is that its only €5 for 5 litres albeit pre mix.
As you mention Promenades des Anglais Tony, I was there a few months back. A bit disconcerting was the sound of an explosion, followed by tremors and birds fleeing the trees. Fortunately it wasnt a terrorist but a midday canon.Now whats more is that it had nothing to do with military tradition but Back in 1861 a British gentleman named Sir Thomas Coventry-More settled in the old town of Nice. He had a wife who enjoyed her morning strolls along the Promenade des Anglais and had a tendency to get back late to prepare lunch. Sir Thomas was having none of this tardiness so he found a rather ingenious way to summon her back – a cannon blast.
Now why do I think some on here may replicate this idea.
Just to be different mine was actually down to a sticking cable/latch setting off the alert. I just re lubricated it all. It never inhibited my EAS either.
I kept wondering why my Goodridges needed bleeding every 6 months or less on the bike. I couldnt find anything obvious until a few weeks back when I did a bleed and tested the pedal, then pop went to hose. There was obviously a fault and a micro hole leading to failure.
Just glad it happened in the garage and not out on the road.
Richard is right. I had the plenum filter by blue box and it disintegrated within a year.
Emmotts have a Bosch second hand one where offers have been accepted for £30 though after what they sent me regarding my heads I wouldnt personally buy from them again.
The Hevac bulb kit P/N is JFC102550B, think I paid about £7 though it can be found cheaper.
Ha, no, it was a few weeks back.
Its a lot of money to fork out, as OB says be sure thats the problem but if it is then the way I looked at spending a fortune for it was that I knew I would get my money back on it.
I just sold mine on ebay for £180 and that was because I wanted a quick sale. So whilst fixing RF interference problems on the car it will also retain a high resale value should you need to resell it.
When I was having problems with a flat battery due to receiver interference I would get an instant message of gearbox failure followed by abs & traction etc as Gordon mentioned already.
It wouldnt start at all though the lights etc would still work.I could jump it and charge the battery but it would only last a few days, maybe a week max.
Once I replaced the RF receiver, I never had a flat battery again.
If it turns out you need to change the receiver the P/N is YWY500170 for the latest green dot version.
What about asking a question on registration about something that maybe only owners of a P38 would know, ie what is the left hand bottom corner relay for or something along those lines . Although its possible to google these it might deter those that cant be bothered.
Ha, I had an MZ 50 because that was all I could afford.
Thanks.
Doug Taylor looks promising. Its just re-chroming some trim bits that I cant buy anymore.
Now I dont have the car its time to put more effort in the bike.
