I have heard they have gone up in price.
I needed one cos I took mine out to clean the oil out of it as you do when you have a Disco 2,
and as the plugs were so stiff I managed to drop it on a gravel drive. After that it didn't want to know.
so I took it an allegedly expert bunch in Poole to have it mended only to discover, through research on the net, that they were a bunch of cowboys. thankfully I took it off them before they did anything with it. I still have it and I sent it, via my son in law, to a clever lady engineer who uses a microscope to find breaks on PCBs etc. she couldn't find anything, which is a shame as it is chipped and I'd like to still be running it.
so if you do send it away, I'm sure you will send it to peeps who are honest and reliable. Might as well take the chance to get it chipped, if you are so inclined.

Alive tuning repair for £200 or replacements can be as much as £750

"scrappers" bloody cheek!
I'll have you know that although sitting on my drive for years none of them are leaking oil.
Maybe there is none left!

Morning all, starting on the 90 this weekend

Turktowner · Mar 26, 2022

Mornin folks.
Starter relay arrived for the bike, so that first and fingers crossed.
Then a damn good wash for the Tratter in time for the MOT, I think is rude to present a filthy motor to the nice Mr Inspector.
BBQ this afternoon, Ma an Dottir coming over.
Have a nice day peeps!

Wots wrong with it?

There's been a frost overnight but the sun is up now and setting about its morning duties.
It's Saturday! Don't forget the clocks go forward tonight so you will lose a whole hour of precious sleep time.

He’s disabling the 90 more so he can carry on driving in comfort

The pressure plug sprang a leak and I lost oil pressure

it has damaged the valve train and sounds like a bag of bolts!
So, it is engine out and rebuild as I 'might as well' and whilst that is occurring, I will repair the bulkhead and sort the wiring as the PO left it in a mess!

Cheers Phil, he is a bit far away for me or I would of had that. At avg 12 mpg towing in the RR it would cost me a couple of hundred in petrol!!

Think a pallet only costs about £80 for collection/delivery.
Pity I’m not in the warehouse business still.

mrs is in London & Chichester next week but never any jobs near you.

Morning All

Another lovely day here.

I will go out on the trike when she goes to her mother's later today.

A bit of "testing" needs to be done before e-assist goes on.
Have great day.

I did feel for the silly sod who came to look at the trailer all the way from Heathrow.
His reason for not buying it was so stupid as all he had to do was ask one question.
so Wifey thinks there was another reason, altho she never met him, nor did she witness his visit.
so his petrol costs, in a RAV4 ouch!

But its only 12MPG on short runs. On a long run cruising at 55 I get 22MPG.
