Discussion and letters to email to the council on the KTM forums

http://www.ktmforum.co.uk/off-road-enduro/95501-another-fight-our-hands-kent-byways-need-your-support.html

It's a lane I use near to where I live. It's great for easily just popping out for an hour to unwind and I will be gutted to lose it

General / Off topic - Bluetooth question for phones in cars

« on: 06 January 2012, 11:03:52 am »

Got bluetooth built in to my Vauxhall vivaro. I've had a recurring issue where my SonyErricsson phone seems to delete the stored BT settings for the van. It doesn't happen every time, maybe once a week, maybe three times a day! I have to delete the phone from the vans memory and pair them again.
I reloaded the phone software and it seemed to do the trick for a while but it started again.

Got a new car with bluetooth and paired the phone to that all has been ok.

Yesterday it did it again in the van. I had been assuming it was the phone but the cars BT settings are still in the phone where as the vans settings have been deleted again, so is it the van doing it or the phone??

Supposed to be going to the Emirates on Boxing day from NW Kent but theres NO SOUTHEASTERN RAIL SERVICES !!!!
I can't beleive it, maybe Christmas day but not Boxing day.

So question is do the tubes run on Boxing day, the TFL site says it wil be announced in mid December, very helpful.

Also where would be a good tube station to head for from Kent where (a) we could park for the afternoon or (b) close enough for someone to drive us and then pick us back up later so we can all get pi**ed

Any helpful comments gratefuly received and any comments about Arsenal will be ignored

Anyone know the place and if it's any good?
Seen a car on the their webby that is what I'm looking for and at a bargain price.
Trouble is I'm a 5-6 hour round trip away and would try to buy it over the phone but need to know if they are honest with their descriptions or economical with the truth

Also they don't take cash, is there a way to pay em without it showing too much to her majesties finest?

General / ebay feedback question?

« on: 07 November 2011, 10:19:54 am »

Had a couple of bids from possible idiots.
When looking at their feed back there are a couple of "complete time wasters" comments, but with a positive feedback icon ??

One of them has only one feedback (positive) yet it says avoid ??

Am I missing something or can you not leave negative feedback now?

General / Any idea how much...

« on: 02 November 2011, 05:18:06 pm »

... a KTM 250 exc "top end" rebuild might be.
Sons 2009 engine half seized. The KTM dealer investigated and declared the top end rebuild needed. They quoted £2000 just for parts but to be fair they said he could get it done a lot cheaper elsewhere.
I know it depends on how many of the parts need replacing but can any mechy types give me a ballpark figure?
