Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Adam, do you need the cash it would free up / space in the (insert wherever it is kept)?
If the answer is yes, then sell it. For what could be a great price if everything is over priced at the...

^Nailed it in one.

There's no money in people upgrading things at home. So they make everything as awkward as possible.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Adam, I'm glad you fixed it.
Sounds about the same level of service my new to me Qashqai got last year from Glyn Hopkins when I picked it up. None of the things we had discussed had been done.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Today I have spent way longer than I expected swapping out my rear tyre on the GSXR, so long I ran out of time to do the front. It should have been an easy job. Remove rear brake, check. Undo axle...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Not a lot, after finally ordering new tyres for the GSXR, and waiting a week for the rear to arrive. I set about to swap them over. I quickly realised that I'm a numpty.

I too had mine on the clutch bolt. Much less intrusive.
Also much easier to operate with your clutch hand whilst riding instead of throttle hand.

Gary, more putting off until I have no choice, than busy.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Yesterday's efforts - New rear tyre, new chain and sprockets and a rear brake that actually works. Might need to get some fresh fluid as it's a bit spongy.


Front tyre to do tonight, and a bit of...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

PR3s fitted. I really need to get a better technic at swapping tires. Currently I have none, but it did give a chance to vent today's issues. My swearing is on point.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

DomP - I have a Mk3 Scenic - had a Mk2 also. As have 3 small kids perfect family wagon.
Mk3 much nicer. Mines the 2.0 petrol one - had the 1.5 diesel slug.
More smiles, less miles.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
