My housemate and his car have a 'hate-hate' relationship... when drunk he's been known to elbow drop on the bonnet and has attempted to even choke-slam the thing (it's a crappy 'N' reg Citroen AX)... in return every time his bonus is due it decides that something will get to the point of almost failing and wipe out half his savings.

But, after nine years of unfailing service, decent fuel economy and dealing with a 50 mile commute each day they wouldn't be parted despite the hatred... that car runs on abuse and would probably fall apart if I took it through a car-wash.

Well managed to get some time on the bike today, and just time on the bike, so thought I'd be try to figure out where the electrical problems I'd been getting had come from.
First something I made last week, my new rear brake leaver, nuts, bolts and some rubber tube, much better



Argh who stole all my plastic and tank? The stuff you need to take off to get a look at the electrics.



Maybe this could be the source of some of my problems.



Thats the live feed too, so looks like I'm going to have to re-wire it now as it just fell apart when I tried to clean it up.

Well riding it in the rain appears to have tested it, and she seems to be running well.

So, fingers crossed, all appears to be well.
