grumpy the 7th

Can't have been me as I was on the island on 4th,5th & 6th. I did get a flash and wave from a white BMW though. We stayed at the White Lion so might have done the Military road (once or twice.......or more ......🤩🤩), Friday the road was closed at Afton due to flooding. So! just had to turn back and do it all again, comment I got from Granddaughter's boyfriend was "you don't need to look in your mirrors after an overtake to move back in because they're so far behind you" If you're local?? the Gulf garage at Chale has a weird setup, I filled up and went in to pay and was asked how much it was!!! they don't have a monitor inside the garage.

I'm stuck for an answer 😂

Thanks all folks. 👍

Did you have to bend anything to get it on the shaft? If so, what, where & how much bend

Received a new saddle from Burton but it looks like it needs a damn good fettling 🤯 Decided to send it back for a refund and look elsewhere. Got the refund OK but minus the postage £6.67 + tax. 😞 Ho Hum.

I broke the saddle 2 years ago and replaced it with another plastic one. But spirited 2nd to 3rd gear is somewhat notchy so thinking about changing again for a brass one this time. Where do you crimp it? is it where it clips over the shaft? Does the brass one have 2 pairs of lugs or is it one long gutter shape How much do you crimp it? Should it still move freely?? Can you slacken it if over crimped??? The plastic one that broke was 22 years old was never greased but I greased the new one THANKSSaddle.emlSaddle.eml

THANKS 👍 Already spoken to Chris and 2 mounts and a new bolt (just in case I have to cut the spinning one off) to be dispatched today

Hi, I'm doing the service on my 2000 1.6k and seen that the silencer has a slight split in the inlet to can weld. Checking the engine mounts with a jack under the sump the offside mount metal threaded boss that the 19mm bolt, bolts into pulls out of the rubber. Thought I'd see how easy it is to replace by slackening the big bolt BUT the metal boss in the rubber just spins round. (bugger) Do I change it in the following manner? 1) put the chassis on stands & gently support the engine. 2) remove the mounting bracket to engine via the 2x hex bolts 3) undo the 2x 12mm mount to chassis bolts and remove the bracket and mount in one piece 4) clamp the mount with the rubber in my big vice and undo the 19mm bolt (or will I need to cut the rubber to expose the threaded boss to clamp it better)? Think this probably happened when I had a clutch change a couple of years ago? as I seem to remember them saying they'd had a problem with a mount. Anything I've omitted or best practice? please give comments, suggestions or ideas, whilst I await arrival of a new mount. Thanks rog

🤣 The real reindeer (Red Deer) are found in abundance on 'Big Moor' above Baslow.

Says it all really 🎅

Thanks, Jonathan. I couldn't find anything on the search facility.

Replaced the screen and I can't remember how the heater wires come out of the rubber weather seal? There's a cut out near both sides where the 'tang' part slides into the groove under the frame but if the wire comes out at this cutout then there's about 1" of wire blocking the last part of the groove that stops the rubber going to the end. Any tips or tricks to make this right please? see the pictures. thanks.

What should the approx resistance of said screen be? I've got about 46 ohms (and I'm not a Landlord) thanks

Tony, Nah! you're just seeing things.
