I have seen knee protection somewhere which fits on your knee under your jeans I'll post a link when I find it. Found it http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KNOX-FLEX-LITE-KN ... 2a0e7e06e3

I have been driving for 30+ years and passed the theory test last year When I was using the demo test I found I was clicking far too early because I saw the hazard developing sooner than an inexperienced driver would. I found the best method for me click when I saw the hazard develop wait 2 seconds click again wait 2 seconds click again My score on the demos and the actual test was in the mid 60's

I used tennis balls cut in half 4 for a pound from the pound shop the mod 1 layout is attached dsa_mc_diagram_manoeuvring_layout.pdf

There should be a slight gap in the teat to allow water to drain while the engine is off and when the engine is running the vacuum is enough to close the gap

The current capacity of the car alternator is irrelevant The amount of current taken by the battery is affected by the state of charge of the battery and the VOLTAGE the alternator puts out, which is the same as a bike alternator

have a look at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/01/20 ... main_fail/ where it says Halfords.com is mostly unavailable today thanks to "a temporary administrative issue in our domain name renewal process".

Looks like someone at halfords forgot to renew the domain someone else owns it now It will probably cost them a fortune to get it back

The lidl ad says Measuring tolerance: +/- 4%

lidl have them for £15 right now

If it's turning at the bolt end but not the nut end the bolt is not siezed in the alloy It sounds like the nut is stuck to the frame, is it welded on? If you undo the bolt several turns hitting the bolt head should break the nut free or you could just remove the bolt and leave the nut where it is

Well done

The obvious question no-one has asked yet did you use bike oil or car oil car oil has additives to reduce friction = clutch slip

I failed I stuck dead on the speed limit so I didn't get failed for speeding but the examiner said I was doing 30 in the 40 zone, 20 in the 30 and 10 in the 20 Failed for going too slow I'll have to get my speedo checked and rebook

I got a cancellation Mod2 moved forward to tomorrow morning (wednesday)

I didn't have any training and passed mod1 first time I used half tennis balls set up in the car park after work to practice The layout and dimension of the test circuit on here somewhere I'll post the link when I find it

Congratulations I wasn't so lucky, cancelled due to bad weather

my Mod2 was cancelled due to high winds and flooding I have to wait until they update their records before I can rebook

I have mod2 tomorrow (thursday) morning and the weather forecast is heavy rain, 20mph wind gusting to 60mph does anyone know how bad it has to be before they cancel the test I'd rather do it sooner than later but not if I get blown across the road

I will be doing Mod2 on thursday at 8.30am in rushhour traffic will I be expected to filter

well done

well done

I had no problem passing mod1 on my chinese bike and I'll be doing mod2 on the same bike next thursday

Good luck The weather looks good

Booked Mod 2 on 11th November at 8.30 in the morning but the sun doesn't come up til 8.45 all the dates they had left until the end of november were first thing in the morning

Passed Mod 1 this morning The only concern I had was getting up to speed for the swerve and emergency stop on my chinese 125 but I did both first time at 52 & 52
