Took the cage in to get it's little problem looked at. Often no speedo, now coupled with cutting out at low speed, usually when just turning in to a junction. Starts again immediately, but lose the power steering when it does it - this has made for one or two "interesting" moments! Now have to be ready to catch it, ignition off and quickly restart; loads of fun! Diagnostics show that it's missing speedo and odo info, sounds like it's all connected. Can we just go back to carbs and cables please?!!
Booked in for proper investigation next Weds, hope it doesn't get too pricey, as it'll eat into July's Euro tour money :'(

Hi Nick,
On some cars the fast idle( when slowing down) relies on the speedo, so if the speedo doesn't work the car will cut out at low speeds ( less than 5 mph) .

Yep, cheers Mark, that's what the garage are saying, so hopefully no worse than a change of speedo sensor might do the trick. We'll see after they've had a better look.

Went out for a drive last night and reminded myself why I love cars just as much as bikes ^^
Got blown across the carriage way on the elevated section of the A14 at Thrapston.

Got dragged around a superstore by my wife and 2 giggly teenage girls looking for carnival outfits.
I disappeared to the tool section while they did their giggling and grabbed a few bargains.
Then it was off to Aldi to buy up all their black spray paint for €2.99 a spray can 
Gonna rustle up some chilli con carne and settle down with a bottle of Irish cream and a movie or two
Replaced an old fusebox with a 17th dual rcd consumer only to discover that the PME earth connection had an impedance in excess of 30 ohms .
max value 0.35ohms , looked underneath the floor boards beneath the mains position and outside , no earth rod present , so had to go and buy a rod in order to complete cert and tick the means of earthing box .
My fault for making an assumption .
Unblocked drain :\........one life, live it :rolleyes
One, is never going to be enough.....
Nothing with the CBF 600.Tendon damage in my shoulder,can't ride for at least six weeks. BUGGER.
