Yeh I got £700 for it, in good mechanical condition it is probably worth £1200+ , but it ain't in good condition, it stops starts (new discs & pads last summer) as it should, but it requires 2 of the problems that it has need sorting for the next MOT.... the rear axle and exhaust.

I think @Saul did an excellent job of bike of the month.

Yeah as long as you got want you wanted with minimum hassle it strikes me as a win Mate

Did you get a reasonable price for it though

That was a whirlwind sale for me! Put the Dacia on Marketplace at 8am, it was sold and collected at 9am, well it was for sale cheap, but it will need work in the near future, rear axle badly corroded/rusted, clutch pedal right at the top ( needs a new clutch) and exhaust was flagged up at the last MOT, very rusty in places. It has been a good car in the 10 years of my ownership, it only caused problems on the last 2 MOT,s. I expect to see it on Marketplace for sale at around £1200 to £1500 soon

Don't know why your making such a big deal out of this ...we've all dropped are bikes ..no one is going to laugh...just spill the beans or I will...

Finally tracked down the vacuum leak on the turbo in the car, the vacuum pipes were like a plate of spaghetti, I have now rerouted them all so I can more easily work on them in the future, what the hell Mercedes were thinking when they built it is anyones guess. Anyway, I replaced a couple of hoses as they were old but nothing was leaking, turns out it was the MAP sensor on the manifold, I am guessing the membrane is perforated in the sensing module as the fault seemed to be more likely to happen on wet days, I had previously thought it might be electrical but I checked, cleaned and waterproofed every possible connection. Seems it was being affected by barometric pressure. It must have been feathering the waste gate actuator as well as now it has a lot more boost and I can hear the turbo spool up sooner. Luckily I had a used MAP sensor in my spares drawer.

What happens with a group of gay men in the woods stays in the woods.

We started drinking at 10 am , by the time I got home I was pretty well wasted..lol. Yesterday afternoon on the trail cooking some food..

Congratulations @Skippy Great Photo.

Well done @Skippy, I suppose I have to put that Chinese shite on the front page now. Personally I think our resident cyborg @YamaHead was robbed.
