Jaffa cake and jammy dodger packets are both fully eaten when opened by me. No crumb left behind

@Steve_M I remember being told a story (pretty sure it was a forum member) about someone who was riding on the motorway when he saw a police car up ahead. Stuck behind it for ages doing exactly 70, he got fed up and decided to overtake. He slowly started going past probably doing no more than 73, when he got level with the drivers side he looked over and saw the copper looking back at him with a grin on his face wagging his finger and then pointed for him to get his arse back behind the car

Happy Birthday!!!

Loose or dodgy connection perhaps? Has the seat been taken off and put back on pressing on one of the wires maybe? I used to get that with my Intruder, would stop rear light from working

A pretty common failure for chinese scoots/motorbikes. I've had to fix a few for friends or similar and it's usually electric related rather than anything to do with the engine. Melted headlight connectors was the last one I had to do!

Good news

Some of you might of seen this video before but thought I'd share as it's an eye opener to how piss poor some of the cheap £30 amazon / ebay helmets are

New ebay bargain. Makita 18v Impact Wrench. Sold as spares or repairs, buyer said it just stopped working. Thought if I get it for less than £20 even if I can't fix it I'll be able to resell and it'll give me an excuse to hide in shed It's definitely had a hard life, no oil or grease on it just lots of dirt and dust so guessing it belonged to a scaffolder or similar rather than a mechanic. Took it apart and first thing I noticed was this broken fuse.... Put a new one in and it's a runner!! Wife has told me to quit while I'm ahead, well I think her exact words were to stop wasting our money on broken crap we don't need

Oh I know! Kicked myself pretty hard over that. As my driving instructor told me when he found how I failed " that's how you drive when NOT being tested!! "

My Wife is a midwife. Her procedures if she gets it are to go into work as normal providing she feels well enough!

I blame the manufacturers!! Cheap Chinese leather or some such. It must be as I can't think of any other reason why this happens to us all! Oh and welcome to the forum

Going back to work is going to hit you so hard!

I love watching mymechanics on YouTube. He's currently restoring an old Datsun from the ground up!! " I'll make a new one "

Glad to be of help

Bugger, will have to try something else now

Woohoo!!

I failed my car test for not being in control of the vehicle Told to park at side of road on a hill ( to do a hill start ) I decided just before I put the handbrake on that I wasn't close enough to the curb so I put the clutch pedal in so I'd roll back a little ( 2 feet max) while I turned wheel to get closer. Out came her pen She told me at the end if I had put the car in reverse and done the same maneuver all would of been fine but by just letting the car roll I wasn't in control.

Wasn't @rennie out celebrating his new job was it?

Excellent! 0898 operator? (bloody hell that joke really shows my age!)

Think you've covered main things. Is the carpark underground or similar. That'll definitely help out! only other things I can think of are brake fluids and coolant. The chain might be seized/have tight links after sitting so long too Really hope you get it

I think you should donate it to the forum and we can all take turns Admin and mods get first dibs

Strong!! It tastes pretty much like an extra strong IPA. Would buy again. I've had the Elvis one. Didn't mind it after I got past the name

@Bender Wish I had, it's quite nice. Though I definitely wouldn't be drinking many of these on a school night

I may of made a mistake

You can keep these restorations coming every day for me!
