Re: KTM Troubles

I think officially they're owned by Audi, who are owned by Volkswagen AG (VAG).

They do come up regular on FB for around £1500 for leggy ones.

I think the motors do have problems at higher miles tho'

Same - none on there and only 2 on ebay!
They're at the price now that people who want to sell them, don't want to spend money doing it. So they're all on FB Marketplace or Gumtree.

I didn't realise you were a septic :think:
The car manual tells you to do it every 6,000 miles.

First car I've had in ages that doesn't have staggered wheels.

Rotated the tyres on the car, using hand tools. Didn't seem like a big job, but I'm knackered now.

I've got a load of Victoria Secret bra sets off the back of a lorry which will make awesome Christmas presents.
If you can send me a picture of your Mrs tits, I'll let you know if I have any that'll fit.

You forgot the I-Pace.

Which was quick to market to compete against Tesla, with great performance and decent leccy range.

Fucking awful reliability tho'

Re: How's yer driveshaft

Originally BMW were saying it was pressure build up inside the shaft casings. As service they were drilling the cardan case and fitting a one way valve.

Which always seemed odd to me as the rubber gators where it hinges are hardly air tight.

Re: How's yer driveshaft

I had a recall letter ages ago.

It included a new page for the manual with a new service interval for replacing the 'cardan'.

I thinks it's every 60k km and BMW will do it for free for the life of the bike, there's also a new inspection interval of 20k km

After that, every briefing was filmed to stop folk making shit claims.
I remember that, kind of. Or similar. I was told it was one of Jim Whittam's trackdays.

I went to Candolim, probably 8 years ago now.

Rees-Mogg has a new reality TV show in the style of The Kardashians.

I've not watched it yet, I bet it's hilarious.

Re: Would you have an electric car if you had the money for a new car and were in the market for one?

Dunno how much batteries are for smaller EVs, but a Tesla is around £13-16k and a Taycan c£40k apparently. I could get two Ingenum engines with change for that! :D How many ingenium engines has your car had so far :) I've seen stories of 30k cars on their third. Service interval is 20k!! 🙄 twenty t...
