Catteeclan Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Today I've fitted an awkward basted part to a pug engined mini, have I mentioned I hate French cars, and it looks like I'll be removing it again tomorrow as I've been supplied the wrong one. Looks identical to the original but different sensor plugs. Round 2 tomorrow. Roasting blood hot here today too 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tended to this engine’s main failure point, which is the rocker arms, appart from that there are no real known failure areas for my generation engine. I’ll deal with symptoms as they appear and try to do as much preventive maintenance as is practical to do so and advised by my mechanic, then it’s up to luck. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just renewed the insurance on the Beta, renewal had gone up this year from £128 to over £160, I had a word with them but they could only get it back down to £128 so done a on line jobbie and got a quote back for £86 with Hastings direct, just got to tell Swinton to shove their renewal quote where the sun don't shine now 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two bikes on one policy and the CRF on a seperate policy but I need to phone them as their renewal is nuts. One thing I will say their website is fucking awful but the app works OK. We shouldn't have to play this game every year of serching everywhere to get a better quote , there is f*ck all loyalty with these insurance twats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be reasonably comfortable with the possible rise next year, but my wife does not get a (fuck know why ) full pension, she is about £150 down on what I get. I wouldn't hold my breath about £ rising against the € 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
