Nute

Mine is full of rabbit scrapes where they start to dig a small hole then move 4 feet and do it again. Wife is away overnight tonight so I was going to shoot the damn things but it's pissing down and blowing a gale and none of them are out

That's exactly what I did, and did it ever bloody hurt. Won't be doing that again. My heated gloves are Keis 601, and the cold went right through them. I have some polar expedition type mits which are great at -25 C but even those I needed a chemical hand warmer in each one below that temp.

I was amazed at how fast the cold went through my gloves, hurt like hell warming my fingers up again. I've never experienced that degree of cold before, the humidity is generally quite low but it does get windy. Without the right clothing you could be in serious trouble very quickly.

Im in Finland at the moment, -39C a few days ago, my hands in heated gloves were frozen in 3 mins. Don’t know how cold it gets where you are.

Arable, normally wheat, oats, rape or feed beans. It’s a light clay soil so not the best for growing stuff, and it’s not easy to make it pay.

We have a (very old) Yamaha 600 quad on the farm, bloody thing is always having problems. It does take a fair bit of abuse and it’s had a tough life but it’s anything but reliable.

Good luck. I always find I have a few bits left over once I put stuff like that back together

…and it will keep your hands warm

Internal flights in Finland tomorrow canceled, its to cold to operate the destination airport apparently ... -39c. First time I've ever had that happen. Finnair can only fly half way then its a 5 hr coach ride Fired up the BMW, balanced the throttle bodies which weren't too far out, fan cuts in OK , sounds terrible with no exhaust.

Trying to finish up work, or at least ensure the worst fires are under control whilst away on hols for a week. Had an hour in the garage working on the BMW, it now starts on the button, going to try to balance the throttle bodies tomorrow. Ordered a Mo-unit (painful) with a view to rewiring it at some point.

It was v windy here, no damage thankfully, tree branches all over the place a week after I'd cleared up the last lot. Water seems to have got into two security lights as they are now stuck on.

I have the troubleshooting the EFI one, but if you are happy to share the more info the better ! There are a few really good forums with lots of useful info on them, motobrick.com & K100-forum are both very good. Some of those guys have rebuilt any number of them and know them inside out.

Never thought of that … cheers, have to try it.

Cool, thank you !! Is it a physical book ? I downloaded a manual and then printed it out, its getting a bit dog eared and oily now Its been really useful although the photos are all b&w and hard to see any detail as its from 40 years ago. There are also some brilliant web sites maintained by real enthusiasts with a lot of good info. Ive been looking at a tank cap& lights - headlights, indicators, brake lights etc. There are some nice looking ones on the "restore/ custom your BMW" type sites but they are very pricey. I ordered some chinky equivalents and some have turned up - appear to be very nice quality at 25% of the cost, although not tested / tried fitting them yet.

Mine was supposed to be 5kw but I think that is optimistic. It would heat up a 10x10 shed pretty quickly, esp if it’s insulated. You might need to be careful where the exhaust goes out, it gets pretty hot. If you have somewhere locally that sells red diesel it would be even cheaper to run.
