Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Friend of mine borrowed his wife's car that had a black box fitted and took it out for a drive to work and back. Arrived back at home for a bollocking from his wife as the company had phoned to say it was being driven very aggressively and fast. He was rather chagrined, forgot about the box.... he has thrashed a Lotus Exige around a track and is a very good driver, but to fast in his wife's car!

The other thing to watch out for is that little car = pull out. I used to drive my daughter's Fiat Panda some days. Same route, same time, same speed, same colour car, but a totally different experience from driving a big Granada. The Panda was however a lot more fun in snow!

Oops. I hope it's not too spendy to fix.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
My step nephew who had only just passed his test had to have a black box fitted to get insurance along with his Dad as a named main driver. His Dad hit the roof when he got a letter from the insurance co saying his insurance was cancelled as they felt 103mph at 0100 on a Saturday night on the motorway wasn’t acceptable driving behaviour!

Bugger, only just seen this
Looks like the filter bolt jumped ship and presumably pissed all the oil out. Looks like a lot of oil too, any left in the sight glass?
Hope it's not to expensive

Just a few days after the KTM dumped it's oil, the alternator on my van has failed.

Give him time.
Might be worth double-skinning the condoms for a while too

Yep that's exactly what happened. Nothing in the sight glass, even if I lean the bike towards me a bit

Damn. They don't exactly have a lot of oil to lose, so I'm guessing the engine is fooked?Jody wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 3:57 pmYep that's exactly what happened. Nothing in the sight glass, even if I lean the bike towards me a bit

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Yeah I think it is !
I'm not having much luck with bike shops. They either don't come back to me, don't do KTM or Can do it but have no idea how long it will be and don't know how much they charge per hour (yes really). I'm considering helicoiling the casing, replacing the bolt, clean out the filters etc, whack some oil in and see how it sounds.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Nothing to lose by trying. A low miles eBay engine for it is nearly £2k and a boxed new one £5.4k Would anyone really chuck £5.4k at an engine to replace the same thing that has self-destructed?Jody wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 7:09 amYeah I think it is !

This latest bunch of halfwit protesters.
I'm sure they'll have gained support of the UK after this latest prank. Not.
Wankers.

I'm doing a reasonable sized cross-stitch in rehab. For the first time in years I actually can!! BUT, it seems I sodding well can't count any more
Well, I can, but I think that tiredness is making me lose track of the pattern and 'go wrong' Second week in a row I've had to unpick a fair amount to now redo it and get it right

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Our Liebherr fridge/freezer started alarming yesterday. After reading the manual it was wanting a new charcoal air filter. Went on the liebherr website and have robbed of the princely sum of £40 for two tiny little filters.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
We have one of those. I have to say I'm not at all impressed with the build quality,considering it wasn't cheap. Ours fucked up the bottom door hinge and it needed a thermostat just out of warranty. It's been relegated to a 'garage fridge now,but I can't see us buying any more Leibherr stuff in the future.MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 1:46 pm Our Liebherr fridge/freezer started alarming yesterday.
