    Flat tyre problem!

    OK maybe I should just change the wheel and see if that makes a difference. Just a bit miffed that I have keep changing wheels :) This time was taking kids to Harry Potter Studio tour, was feeling a bit sick and went out side to get some air. Noticed the flat. Changed the wheel in the heat...

    Had a quick check on the A frame ball joint but looked OK. No movement. UJ's seemed OK. There was a lot of play in both prob shafts though about 30-45 degrees rotating - is that normal??? Given up on the clonk for the moment and have a look at the MAP sensor (pic here -...

    Good oppie spotting! Not a coach - just have 3 kids sailing oppies + 1 being transported for a friend. On the way up to Grafham water for the inland championships. About 250 kids out on the water last weekend - great to see them all out and active.
