Re: GM chit chat thread
Check out this old thread I believe this could have been the very start of the big-bang. even predates the Bordtea/Tomor posting....

Re: GM chit chat thread
Today's MOT didn't quite go to plan, was booked for 1030 so I went out to start it at 9 and it turned over but wouldn't catch, almost but not quite
So I started to take bits off to see where the problem was. Tank off, air box off then carbs off. Took the opportunity to fit new spark plugs while it was all off so put in some NGK iridium ones. Drained the float bowls and saw the petrol coming out was kind of a green colour! Float bowls off and found more green stuff in them (stripped and cleaned the carbs not that long ago as it had been stood for a while). So the upshot of all that fannying around means it didn't get MOT today but it is booked in for tomorrow afternoon instead.

Re: GM chit chat thread
I need to get mine booked in, sorted it all out weeks ago but haven't got round to actually taking it there
Good job they fitted you in the next day, most would make you wait a week |
