Pedro Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 And, we just discovered what is wrong with my gearbox. A gearbox cog in this bigger shaft here to the left, which is the live one that comes from the engine. My dude is going to work something out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first time it happened I make sure to sign everything on arrival. If I do it on exit all the paperwork gets tear smudges ... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Just fitted a new door release cable to an Evoke. Owner now wants me to sort his transit window and fit a new rear light to a merc. Told him next week, he obviously doesn't have work in the rain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I changed the front lower wishbones on a discovery 4 for a mate today. Nothing seized which made a change but still a fight. Up the him to get the alinement sorted as it drives like a shopping trolly, although they're like that anyway. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they were 2/3rds worn out so probably could have gone on for awhile yet. Thing is the new pads were only £5.95 delivered and I had it all to bits so thought I might as well change them as wished I had. You probably know I'm a worrier The reason I stripped them was the MoT tester advised they were low but to be honest I think he said it for something to say. He is one of those look at it and pass it types, he has a reputation for being a bit laid back. I have been going there for years as there are not that many places to get a bike MoT done near me. Plus I like the guy as I said I have been going there for years. I reckon the fronts are about half worn so didn't change them yet, I already have the pads for that. Thanks Fred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fred That's how you ended up with those pads, my boss took his bike in for an MOT and the tester said the pads are looking low so he bought new ones and asked me to change them. When i dropped them out they were around half worn so i put them back in and he sold the bike a few months later the pads didn't fit any of my bikes and had been in my garage ever since. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Currently on a train, taking a 3 hour trip to near my place. Dog is poorly, and experts are evaluating what to do, dad is poorly and slowly decaying, mood is low, bike is broken and now waiting on overnight parts from Japan (Germany, but Japan sounds more Fast and Furious), and I just got the news that I might be getting into talks that will maybe terminate my main source of income in a matter of months. I might have a wine bottle or two at home waiting for me, I hope 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Shadow had a bit of an off the last time we went out and managed to snap off a foot peg. Fixed it to day for her and added some SW Motech crash bars for her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Never heard of that, I guess it's like our Hammerite before they fucked it up with a new woke formula. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have a steering wheel on your Indian now. Good to see you have a step to get up on it now as well with you being so short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
