I have  just replaced  the BT021 with the BT023 on the front , the difference is amazing, it's like riding a different bike .

General / alternative to fowlers
« on: 30 January 2013, 11:41:51 pm »
If  anyone living in or near Bristol and is looking for a major service and can,t afford Fowlers prices  , i would recommend JHS racing at the end of Keysham bypass ( behind supermarket  )  £ 336 compared to £ 505   .

If  the government were concerned about saving lives they wouldn,t let old people die from the cold every winter , and start illegal wars , and the last thing our economy needs is more red tape and more costs  [size=78%]  [/size]

General / Re: Any Sparkies? Lighting circuit question...
« on: 13 August 2012, 09:58:24 pm »
maximum current carrying capacity for a 1mm cable reference method c  is 13.5 amps , so depending on how many other lights are on the circuit  you should be ok with 1mm , as the work is in a kitchen which is a special location so is notifiable , before altering the circuit you also need to make sure the circuit is protected by an rcd with 30mA protection , and the equipotential earth  bonding to the gas & water pipes is at least 10mm , i would recommend jcc  fire rated downlights as the lamps aren,t exposed , and are less likely to be a hazard if combustible material is nearby .  if you are involving building control they will want to see a certificate .
if your kitchen burnt down , and your asked if you have had any electrical work done and cannot produce a certificate , the insurance company may not pay out or reduce the payment .

Try the  A40 to Burford then B4425 TO Bibury ( worth stopping here ) carry on the B4425 to cirencester then the A433 to Tetbury   , mainly  national speed limits between Burford & Tetbury  , great sweeping bends , a few twisties , watch out for hidden dips  no gatso,s between villages or  in  Tetbury , Bibury , none on the through road thru cirencester . Watch out for mobile cameras ( never seen one along here myself )

 A stunning lady walks up to the bar , she signals the barman to bring his face close to hers , running her fingers through his hair she says softly " are you the manager ?" "no" , he says. Can you give him a message ? she asks stroking his face & allowing 2 fingers to slip into his mouth so he can suck them gently & sliding them seductively across  his teeth & round his tongue . " Tell him there,s no fucking toilet paper .!

 Thanks to everyone for the advice , and sadlonelygit for the offer , but i will get some quotes for just the valve check , don,t fancy doing this myself as i struggled with replacing the spark plugs and  i don,t want to feck up the engine , at least i can relax about the mileage if they don,t go out of tolerance much

Replaced my coolant last year as per the yamaha owners manual , nothing in there about removing the resevoir , it says after draining rad , put in coolant , fit radiator cap , start engine run for a few minutes to warm up, turn it off , recheck radiator if necessary top up , check resevoir level and top up , mines been no problem since

« on: 11 October 2011, 03:09:39 pm »
Thanks for the heads up , i usually check it , clean it and lube it with silkolene chain lube monthly after  washing it , i keep the slack between 40 - 50mm , if i run it any looser i can hear it slapping , i wouldn,t say i was a kneedown hero , but i do like to get away to a quick start , always puts a grin on my face .

Hi Solorider ,

it took about a month to turn up , but it was worth the wait , brilliant product  .
