Thanks for your quick reply's gents, looks like its out in the weather today and have another go

Interesting thread ,I have a question that might be daft but ....Is it possible to set the cam timing out just enough to allow the engine to run but loose its get up and go (mid range) a bit like slotting the cam to advance the valve timing? I have stuck mine back together and although she...

OK Own up who was parked up in the lay by A49 little stretton end today ? 4o'clock ish 5 maybe 6 landys.

So pete are you saying you were a Stretton person in your youth? what sort of bike are we talking about push or motor?

Jet washed my 1.8 once same problem DOH!

Just fitted new cables ,still crap! new shoes and a grease is next on list although there is plenty of meat left on the originals , the local garage suggests new springs as well (might as well while I've got it apart) if it stays dry for a bit I will get out on the driveway this weekend

Anti roll bar bushes easy DIY fix. I'm sure I posted this somewhere.

After a trip to get my LPG serviced and being advised that the cambelt tensioner was kaput/rattling it got replaced and guess what the rattle was still there. It only happens at about 2500 rpm sounds like a drumming /bearing ,anyway today we got her up on the 4 post lift and poked around in the...

And what's more annoying is trying to reverse on a single track lane without lights when the approaching car has his headlights on casting a huge shadow behind you and ruining any night sight you may have . Why do people do this?

I have searched but no result comes close So here's the problem, when she's cold the switch/lights work fine but stop working when the engine/gearbox heats up hot. let her cool and everything resets .:mad:

Its not the snow you have to worry about its the ice on the Burway that has caught people out this week, even today there are two cars abandoned half way up from stretton and the fire brigade had to rescue folks . Although some half wit managed to get up to High Park to do doughnuts ...

Sadly all the snow has gone ....But on the upside its freezing like a good "n"early morning should be good but later softer than a soft thing

At the moment yes its still open BUT..... if you read the post 471 about the proposed development you will see they want to close it from the South and pedestrianize it . I suppose you could still drive it from the Cardington end but then you would have to turn round and go back , Not...

Took her for a LPG service . the monkey said the timing belt tensioner was making nasty noises :( Bought a new one /fitted new one guess what..... still making nasty noise I THINK ITS THE WATER PUMP. looks like I'm out underneath her again tomorrow AT least I know where all the bolts are

please feel free to drive the cwms as much as you like :rolleyes:

Don't forget the mountain bikers there are tracks cut into the Long Mynd mainly on STEEP downhill runs where no sane walker or 4x4 would venture .

yes that's the ones camac terra

The question is ,do you want more ground clearance off road? Do you want wider road bias tyres? Do you want something more aggressive /knobbly for the winter. I know that 195 's look a bit skinny but I have a set of camac's in 195 and they are fantastic in mud 'n' snow. BLOODY NOISY on road...

http://planningpa.shropshire.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=consulteeComments&keyVal=NCIT83TDN4M00 If you read the rights of way departments report it states it would be unlawful to close the lane as its County Road not part of the development Although I am...

not the best but all I have to date Its just a extra length attached on to the original exhaust instead of the freelander silencer with a powerflow end can the can is a bit noisy but I fitted a aftermarket Motorcycle baffle cut down to size
