Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Just now, Six30 said: Perhaps that’s just for your policy cos when I went to renew a couple of weeks ago the European cover that was always included wasn’t and I had to pay an extra £40 for it. Which I didn’t so it’s still not insured 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On all of them initially but not on the 9T cos Bennett’s wanted extra. Not a bike I’d take abroad so no bother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Been changing the oil in the gearbox of the marmite wagon today or should i say diluting old oil with new as you cant drop the oil out of the torque converter so i have to suck the old oil out the dipstick with a little pump i bought and then measure how much came out and then pump the same amount of new oil back in through the dipstick tube, then take it for a run to mix it all together and keep repeating until it's looking cleaner, just about to have my third run only sucking just over 2L out at a time which is not far off half of whats in there. Once the oil is looking cleaner i have to drop the sump off the gearbox and change the filter then repeat the oil change process again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sense of deja-vu, I remember doing similar on my Renault Traffic camper van many years ago. The camper van was great in that you didn't need to jack it up , I could just crawl underneath to do the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to get it up on ramps to do the filter as it is too low got to drive it onto blocks before i can get the ramps under, the pump makes it easy just pop the bonnet and away to go it takes minutes. Just as a precaution i'm waiting an hour or two after pumping the clean oil in for any air bubbles to disburse as i don't think it would be good for the transmission not sure though so taking no chances. I've changed over 8L now so it will be filter next but i will need more oil i should have bought the 20L drum instead of the 10L 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Just now, boboneleg said: Are you out in a bike today @Sir Fallsalot ? No i'm probably getting under the marmite wagon to finish the gearbox job off. At the risk of sounding a bit like Pete for the last month I've had an issue with my left arm, started with a pain in the shoulder and then over the weeks has moved to the back of my bicep and then onto the forearm and back to the shoulder and keeps moving about, but no issue with using the arm other than whenever i change what i'm doing like sitting to standing, driving, laying in bed or getting out i get bad pins and needles from the elbow to the tip of my fingers. And for the last few weeks the tip of my forefinger has been numb. Not sure what will happen when i get on the bike may have a go later today if i get the car done. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
