SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum - Gripe of the day

The M40. I know it's a bit of a general gripe but this is the second Monday in a row that it's been closed due to accidents in the early morning rush. Two fatalities last week and the local online rag says just a minor today, although the fire service were de-roofing a car when I eventually crawled past the scene after 40 minutes stationary. Hour late for work, probably down to some muppet not paying attention.

Yep, not paying attention going too fast for the conditions, its the usual rule of thumb for muppetry accidents

Policing by stealth.

1) The new motorway speed cameras are designed to be hidden, and the Highways Agency is refusing to detail where they will be located, "for operational reasons". So it's clearly no longer got anything to do with improving road safety.

2) I've passed a few cars pulled over by the police recently, and in every case it's been an unmarked police car. The only marked cars I've seen recently are the Highways Agency vehicles. Has anyone else noticed this??

So much for elected police commissioners improving accountability!!

wife's clio, electrical fault warning light comes on, goes into limp mode. turn off engine and all is fine

ECU has nothing showing as a fault. lots of this on the internet. So checked all connections to ECU and sprayed cleaner. Manifold off and throttle body removed and soaked with carb cleaner although it did look to be in reasonable condition in the first place.

Seems to be running alright, but the last time it happened I reseated the ecu connections and all was good for 3 months. So best get it running ok and get rid quick.

If I offer a clio on the org. don't buy

Might not work but for less than a tenner for the adapter and the app it's worth a shot.
