Ive just changed all the dash lights back to standard. Was told led's would give a brighter dash but no ! the indicator lights were all working, but the dash light only came on, either right or left, depending on which way the bulb was inserted...

The only thing both systems are sharing is the IDM(interior fusebox) no common earth nor headers/connectors as the washer pump is in front aand the wiper motor at the rear, the BCU is involved only in the washer's activity so the first suspect is...

Hi, Leave the good one where it is, just check gaiters if they need renewing, never throw a working driveshaft. For the bad one, put an oem or genuine driveshaft, GNK I think and nothing else. You can look at a preowned one if you want to save...

Done for today, weather and bad connectors won. To be continued next week for the alternator and after vacation for everything else. I need a bullet crimping tool, and that sounds like a nice souvenir from Scotland! Just some questions regarding...

Its called "speed wobble" because that is when it happens usually induced by a bump in the road. Loading up the drive train [accelerating] can act as a damper but is not a cure. Have you done the swivel housing preload?

Or a trailer tent, or a campervan.

So, no quick fixes. Couple of reasons: some of the connectors of the head lamps and side indicators are not great, so to do it propably bullet connectors are the way to go. Then there I need to plug a new wire between the fuel pump connector on...

I was thinking both those things, thanks for confirming the "turning" issue. I am now wondering if he did mean that he had it skimmed. Turning, as in English, is a common word in other languages for turning summat on a lathe. Sadly I don't know...

So you forgot first time round so he will be expecting chocolate biscuits soon then

Okay so let me give now a real situation that happened yesterday. I was commuting on the my highway (motorway) and like mentioned before 80km/hr, every time, No issues. However, once I got to 85-87 I got a nasty wobble, on this particular part...

Shed on wheels it is then. Norra tratter this time. A caravan.

You can't the front and back have different recesses. I don't think the OP's first language is English

Well that is one thing covered!

You say "turned" Do you mean skimmed, or turned round so it now faces the other way? Never even knew you could do that. Did you change the pressure plate too? It does seem like you have covered most of the normal reasons for judder. I have a...

Ok you are right. It judders does and not slip at 1st gear . The reason I said mostly is because it did slip in higher gears (3rd-4th) 4-5 times since 2021. Other than that there aren't any slipping it judders. And the flywheel was turned after...

Nice to hear from you again,Bud!

The thing is that at shows like this big fun is had in the evenings, around the barbie etc, with loads of beers. Then you couldn't get to the BnB unless it is within stagerring distance!

Bacon, chips and tomatoes fer lunch.

Cheap bnb. Premiere inn has baffs and/or showers.

Maybe they share an earth? Now SF will come on and tell me they are switched through the earth!!!! I have no idea!

Odd stuff always seems to be happening!! @sierrafery may have an idea or two. I know that the rear wash/wipe obvs has to have the wipe part of it working. Maybe look at that first, if you solve that I spose it may fix the other one. Which...

I did not but I owe him some

Hope you took some biscuits with you on the visit

Sorry to hear that and yep, can't imagine how it would happen. Well to a person with that experience.

You could always check to see if both are getting power when the switch is pushed, give them a good dose of looking at. They may have simply seized.

Thanks everyone for the information. Just updating, I took the car out for a test drive – no noise at first and no fluid leaks anywhere. But on the way back, once everything got hot, the pump started making noise again. I guess I damaged the...

Got a bit more done this morning, cam chain and sprockets off, rocker assemblies, pushrods, followers, cam, valley gasket and both heads. The head bolts were the tightest thing i've ever had to undo, broke one socket but managed to get it done...

A few pics from the rally, some of the more exotic bikes ----

That is on the "for serious consideration" list.
