yeah but thats his problem - it wont start!

The glowlight going off only means one thing - the light works! Most dieselcars have a seperate ecu for glowplug control which can go wrong. Easiest way to check glowplugs are getting power is to turn dash on/off a few times (make sure you finish on off!) and then feel the end of the glows - they work on resistance and so the end of them will be slightly warm. Also it takes a lot of oomph to start a diesel so make sure the battery is fully charged.

you did tighten the rear wheel up properly?

Long run - hein geriche 2 piece with full armour, alpinestar boots, carbon gloves, balacalva, arai chaser lid Track - Frank thomas 1 piece, knox back protector, alpinestar boots, carbon gloves, neck warmer, box lid Shop run - minimum of shorts, trainers, t-shirt and lid (whatever is closest), basically whatever I have on at the time...

I am away 22nd, but free anything else (for now...)

if you dont have front and rear indicators then your bike will be given an mot with a daytime use only advisory - basically a daytime mot. for a full mot you need full lights back and front

Yep was nice to meet new faces and see some old ones too! Had one memorable experience - making progress on the ride home, cleared a lovely sweeping left to come face to face with a herd of cows....

Phil - whats the website of the official photographer that was there?

Yep just carefully bend it back with a couple of pairs of pliers! Be careful and gauge the tension, if it suddenly gets easier stop as it will break soon after. Also remember that if it has bent once it will bend again.

DIY stores (although they might be a bit poo), halfrauds or motor factors. If rideable most garages will have a set if you are friendly with them they might let you borrow one?

Big respect when you saw him hobbling around the pits!

Will have a fetching green gazebo out - or just have a look for a white sprinter stickered up as 'lakeland fells furniture'.

can you cut a slot into the head with a hacksaw/dremmel and then use a flathead screwdriver? Also heat works well on stubborn screws. Failing that drill the head off, gently drill out the shaft of the bolt and then re-thread with a tap/die set.

If anybody wants to pop into mine in windermere for a brew on the way I am more than happy to supply a cup of tea! Any update on a time for sat morning? I might be bringing a certain forum member who isnt riding at the moment...

We have purchased a disposable bbq and might get another - one for dinner and one for breakfast...
