Catteeclan

I let the dealers do the first service then I took over. Blue TDM had a recall on the TPS and the XT1200 had a front brake recall of some sort, all free. There was a deal with the first service that I only paid parts, that offer disappeared with the tracer which will prob be the last bike I'll have.

Everything is taken into consideration to ensure they can screw as much money out of you as possible. The days when it was a service are long gone.

Sorry, I’ll go back to my normal. Blood sucking scum.

I’m guessing that tightens against the wheel and pulley bearing with the wheel fitted. That wouldn’t’t worry me if so as the bearing’s doing all the hard work.

That looks a nice bit of kit. I got this one off eBay thinking it was a bench mount from the pics. Bigger than I thought but it's been brilliant.

Get a new bearing, cut that one out or borrow someones press. Pulley in the oven and drop the new bearing in. It won't be on your mind any more.

He's travelled a few miles to get a fry up and T shirt.

Clamping the pipe off is a good way of clearing air if you're still on rubber hoses.

Dull and overcast here but I plan to get a look over the tracer later today as it'll be taking me to the Isle of Wight again in the week.

Amongst other things today I changed two heater plugs on a diesel astra. These are the ones which have a built in pressure sensor, £100 each. Lots of stories and tails of them snapping off but they both came out easy so I'm having a beer to celebrate before Mandi gets home.

Other than some odd jobs around the house I've done bugga all. Hate waiting for parcels. If I'm out there alway just before 12, I wait in and the time goes to mid afternoon.

Pissing down again here. I can't be arsed to go out and feed he bunnies.

We had the guests too but with the rain. Not that I'd planned to go anywhere.

Good job you've got a digger
