I need some input from some of my fellow female LZoner's, i,ve just brought an old motorbike as a project and the plan was to do it up over the winter, i can just about squeeze it into my garage but it will be a tight fit to work on. Whilst twiddling my thumbs waiting for the rain to stop before...

sounds like its flooded to me, have you carried out a check to see if its got a spark? forget all your fancy code reading malarky and do the basic checks first, i once watched a roadside breakdown patrol spend three hours on a car that had cut out, only to realise it had run out of petrol!!

i wish it was! work, weather, women, kids, etc have all conspired to stop me getting any where near the bloody thing, with a bit of luck i might get a couple of hours on it at the weekend

yes to being a knob? or yes to all the switches working correctly? or even yes to both?

i'm assuming that all of those must be ok, or as i understand it the bike would not crank over, or am i being a complete knob?

am i right in thinking that i should be getting some kind of voltage reading across the two wires from the pulse generator whilst cranking the bike over?

Thanks for all the info guy's, its too old to have an immobiliser, and its spinning over fine, i've also put the jump leads on it from the trusty p38! and that made no difference, rain and a very angry foreman demanding that i get on with the decorating has stopped play for today, i have...

Thanks guys, i don't like replacing parts unless i can prove that their faulty, so i don't want to jump in and start a process of diagnoses by substitution

I'm hoping someone out there can help me with what appears to be an electrical fault on my 1996 Honda Transalp, the bloody thing won't start and iv'e traced it to a loss of spark, i have 12 volts at both coils but no switching, my understanding of the system is that something called a "pulse...

Just come back from the London to Brighton run, and out of all the landy's there we only counted five P38's, we saw a couple of Landyzone stickers, but there was no one about to say hello to, was it you? so anybody know why there were hardly any P38,s?:cool::cool::cool::cool:

Thinking of taking the kids on the London to Brighton rally, if you've been before, is it any good? or will they be bored? i know i will enjoy it, so should i go on my own?:confused::confused:

thanks guys i will start looking for another latch, is the MGF latch a straight replacement?

been having a bit of a moment with my passenger side front door, it started several weeks ago, when the door not closed message came up on the dash board, but the door was shut, opened and closed it and it went away, its gradually got worse and now it does it every time i get in the car, i've...

have you changed the oil recently? because my oil burner was running slightly above the center point on the gauge when under load or going up steep hills, i changed the oil and she now runs just below the center of the gauge in the same conditions

Can anybody tell me if i should have one touch "lecy" windows in the back of my 1996 diesel p38, iv'e done a search and there's plenty of info about resetting the window's, but nothing about if it should work all round, the rear window's will go down with one touch, but not back up, i have to...

washed some p38 engine pieces in the dishwasher at work, whilst nobody else is in the building:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

i'm interested to know, how you know, what noise a fat person makes on a creaky bed? is there a story there somewhere?:laugh::laugh::laugh:

don't waste your money on any fancy sprays or polish, just use peanut butter and it will come up like new, just wipe it on any black plastic trim, leave it for a minute and wipe it off,it comes up like new, don't believe me try a little bit on the corner of your grille, you will be amazed, 56p...

earth lead fault? are you placing your negative jump lead on the battery or on the engine block?

try Watson's diesels, Elm Crescent, Wimbledon SW19, they will give you plenty of free advice and the old boy that run's it wont rip you off if you decide to get them to look at your motor, good luck with sorting it out
