As said, I ain't got the facilities or tools, if I had i would have given it a go myself, but not at this time of the year. Brrrrr.

2013 Dacia Sandero 1.2.......... £200 is for parts and labour, they need doing, was a advisory on last August's MOT Can't do them myself, so I will just have to stand to it.

Are anti roll bar bushes made from precious materials?.......£200 to replace them!, booked in for next Tuesday.

We sort of get fresh air through part of the bungalow, patio door seals have been knackered for a couple of years, bathroom & bedroom windows will not close fully because the tilt mechanisms are bent, and the windows mist up inside of the double glazing. The mould guy is coming in early February. PS. On the bathroom door there is a aluminium vent near the bottom, I took it off to paint the door, and guess what?, there is no hole through the door behind it.

Got the bungalow nice and warm (ish) and now the window installation guy is here, he opened all the windows and patio doors now it's like a fridge in here. That's a fiver wasted.

If it was around here, the neighbours would have filled it before you did.

Well done that guy.

I still have mine too,

I have had a look at a few 125cc on some salvage sites, may take the plunge if the scoot sells in the spring.

It's now a throwaway age..........almost.

Garages ain't what they used to be, i am trying to get a little welding done on the Dacia, the 4 garages that I have used in the past all answered the same.." Oh, we don't do welding"....

Pack need a shuffle.

Just looked on AliExpress and there is a CDI for £285.. But the one in photo looks nothing like the CDI that was fitted to my bike, could be a risky buy.

The early model WK650Tr used a CDI manufactured by Ducati Veglia (not Ducati bike manufacturer) and most of post 2016 bikes used a CDI manufactured by Bosch, but the earlier model cannot utilise the later Bosch CDI. The early model CDI seems to be made with unobtainium but with much searching one could be found in Alibaba (think that is what the site is called ) but they are a hefty price, around £450 . Iam on a Chinese bike forum, and a couple of members have purchased (a few years ago I must add) the said CDI from that site, but it took many weeks, in one case a couple of months to arrive. One of the problems with the Ducati Veglia CDI is that it is a poor design (stated by a guy on there who knows his stuff) and a new CDI would most probably (in his opinion) fail after a time, and he tried a couple of companies who specialise in repairing CDI units, and they were unable to effect repairs on the Ducati Veglia CDI. So, £700 for the bike, and £450 for the CDI,and if you paid for other repairs and a MOT it effectively makes the bike not a viable proposition.

Mansfield Town centre is bad enough in summer when the sun is shining.

You lucky people!.

Passing a bit of time, bugger all else to do here, flicking through the for sale ads......2013 WK650Tr for sale for 700 quid!.....same colour and year as the one I had, in the photos it looks in decent nick, a bit of a plan was hatched..............sell the scoot and buy the Chinky?. Then I read the full description which read ok, till near the end. Non runner, it needs a cdi... Bugger.

I got busted for speeding in 1978, can't remember if I got points or not, such a long time ago, managed to stay points free ever since.

It is the car insurance that I am dreading, last year it was £450 for a poxy, old, 1150cc Dacia, At the moment I have no plans to renew the scoots insurance. And they are both due for renewal on almost the same day in March.

My brother in laws mother is 102 years old, she has been, (in her words) at deaths door for the past 20 years.

I think it will the cheap pads that are causing the squealing, as I said, I will give them another coating of copper slip, and get my wife some ear defenders

Mine came like that @Pedro
