Re: What have you tinkered with today?

I think it's the age old 'if it's fitted it needs to be safe' . You don't need seatbelts in some classic cars but if you fit them and they are slightly frayed or not e-marked - FAIL

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Every now and then Redex goes on offer and I usually stock up then. Last time I saw it in a supermarket 2 bottles for £2. I must admit I only use it when a vehicle's been laid dormant or sometimes as...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

That would be EXCELLENT for your tours. I really liked it when riding with my advanced instructor, it's great to be insulted mid corner and generally having an extra pair of eyes letting you know...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

To be honest I would have done the oil change AFTER the trackday. You've got it extremely hot then cold , then extremely hot etc. etc

No problem, you'll just have to book another one now...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Might just do that.
Cheers for the headsup Tam, good price and might have a go for that if I'm passing but I have a feeling they'll be £15's worth of wobble.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
