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 .:)

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.
