Be careful with that one, for example, "I thought about getting you a birthday present" doesn't always cut it

Other times it can be downright scary...

Such as... "i had a thought about you the other day bb1boy..."

Quick update - no pics

Driver side fog light stopped working after changing over to the WW front bumper. Thought it might be a blown bulb so after weeks of thinking about it and getting spare parts at the ready i had a look and realised i couldnt get the fog light out without taking the front bumper off

so just wiggled a few wires and connectors and hey presto the fog light works

Driver side front headlight not working. Changed the bulb but that didnt make any difference so had to be the wiring which had been repaired previously. Remade the connections and that fixed it

Bouncing Speedo needle. Thought it might be disti so changed that over and fitted some new KV85's this didnt fix it so had to be VSS. Fitted new VSS (£18 off ebay) and problem solved. Speedo reading spot on.
This also seems to have sorted out my overfuelling issue - now when i have to overtake im not leaving a massive cloud of fuel vapour behind

Nice to get these niggles sorted out

Good stuff that things have been sorted relatively easily

I've had the vss plug packaged up in my bag all week, but not been able to get to the post office when it's open (either in places not near one or stuck in meetings early/late). I'll try and get to one at lunchtime on Monday/tuesday.

cheers wurly no mad rush for the VSS

but i do want it

im really enjoying driving the lude at the moment
handling has been majorly improved by the fitting of the new rear hubs
and the new cams have kept things interesting
couple of small upgrades still to do (new front discs and pads & whitleine rear arb)

Lude Generation
