Bloody cold though which is frustrating as I have loads of bike stuff to get on with just to cold to stay out there for more than 20 mins at a time.

Catteeclan Posted Thursday at 18:06 Share Posted Thursday at 18:06 More flurries here. Don't know what the temp was today but it was difficult to keep the hands working. Headlight level switch had stopped working on a Astra H. After replacing the missing fuse one burst into life. Thinking it was a duff motor I plugged in the good headlight into the not working side and still nothing. Hands were getting cold now as the bumper has to come off to get the lights out. Turns out somewhere in the loom 2 wires were open circuit so I chased the wires from the good to bad side and alls well. Hands bloody freezing by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted Thursday at 21:22 Share Posted Thursday at 21:22 I got my new headlights from Germany today, Mercedes in their wisdom and for some reason after market manufacturers don’t make right hand drive headlights for my car anymore. The headlight shell on one side is cracked and the lenses are both clouded and have been polished to many times now. I took a chance on aftermarket lhd headlights as they looked like a direct copy, with the plan of putting the rhd low beam reflectors in from my existing lights. Thankfully I was right so after a little bit of work I will have new headlights. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I was welding a fixing to the frame of my K100 to increase the height of the front of the tank a bit and thought it smelled odd as I was welding, turns out I picked up a brass filler rod by mistake so its now brazed rather than welded. Can't be arsed to cut it off and start again ... seems secure so I'll go with it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago On 18/11/2025 at 11:19, Clive said: The seat relay, a non Daelim one that I bodged to fit worked for several months, then stopped. A relay from Daelim costs £35 + P&P, So i ordered a relay from Aliexpress at a cost of £2..50p + £2..50p -P&P, it works fine, and being the same size (small) it fits perfectly in the relay holder. Iam getting our spare room ready for the scoot to spend till March in there. I just couldn’t go back to hibernating. Honestly mate, I feel your pain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m missing getting out on my old Mtb, the sciatica is just too bad to be cycling at the moment. Been like it for a couple of months. Ironically, riding the scoot or motorbike is fine but driving the car is challenging to keep depressing the clutch. My missus thinks it’s just an excuse to use two wheels everywhere I go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have taken take my father in laws advice that he gave me in 1980........"Buy a one way ticket out of the UK!". I may have ended up somewhere that has mild winters... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
