I’m sure your kind offer of 5 used injectors will be taken up quickly on the Z4 forum here[/url]

As above, why did you not try a secondhand injector or getting yours refurbished?
I have used linky[/url] and they run a test of the injectors before commencing refurbishment. Also most injectors are actually made by companies like Bosch and Delphi so genuine parts are seldom necessary

Doing it on the bike is never the best if it is really stuck. Remove the crank arm and put it in boiling water if you don’t want to use a blow torch on it. Then put it in a vice and support it well and use a quality Allen key bit in an impact driver.

Thanks guys. Those will keep me busy.

This will be first full winter in the UK for 15 years and I am enjoying the change of seasons. I am sure that I will be over the enjoyment by the middle of January.
It will also be the first Xmas for ages that I am not working in scuba diving and hospitality so we are looking forward to just closing the door and slobbing in front of the telly.
Where ever you are in the World there are + & – points. Eventually the balance tips if you are somewhere long enough.

Don’t you have to beta environment for testing?

Don’t tell any one but this is the beta environment :D

Looks better on pc using Chrome and on Android phone but the 3 bar menu button is very hit and miss on my phone.

My Breitling is now over 10 years old and has never been serviced. It has now started to loose 5 seconds every day so it’s time to cough up and get it serviced. They recommend a service every 3 years so I reckon I’ve done pretty well.

Had them installed in September to an old type fuse board that I had replaced the fuse wire holders with plug in breakers. No problem with the whole thing especially as I now get free leccy between 9am and 5pm on a Sunday.
LED bulbs are now cheap enough that you will save money within a year compared to 50w halogens.
Anything that provides heat is expensive to run be it on gas or elctricity. Smart meters make you think about how and when you use your power.

@sideshow you are correct that the BXE is a specific variant of the VW 1.9 R4 TDI PD 43-118kW engine.
The info below is from Wiki.
Essentially, this ubiquitous engine has the same bottom end (cylinder block/crankcase, crankshaft) as the earlier 1.9 R4 TDI which uses a VP37 VerteilerPumpe distributor injection pump. However, a new cylinder head is fitted to this “PD” engine, to accommodate “Pumpe Düse” Unit Injectors.

My hundreds of thousands is a very rough estimate.
Loads of interesting theories here[/url]

I think angeldust has got it spot on.

Someone like this?

I have 2 family members that were both train drivers, one for Southern and one for South Eastern. They did the same job but the differences in their expected working practices were amazing. For one Sunday was a normal working day whilst the other worked Sundays on a voluntary basis and got paid a premium.
South Eastern have run their trains driver only for years unless the train goes further out of London than Sevenoaks. This was negotiated by the Union and the operating company and has worked well ever since.

Southern is owned by Govia — a joint venture between transport groups Go-Ahead Group and Keolis (a SNCF subsidiary) — which also owns the neighbouring Southeastern.

BMW motorcycle owners have the same kind of reputation. I once had a bloke checking the straightness of some stitching with a ruler.
The stitching was on a green canvas bike cover!

@sideshow there are loads of conflicting references regarding the BXE engine and how it can fail. The thing to bear in mind is that there are probably hundreds of thousands of these units in use with lots of variants and different types of failure. Various theories about under spec’d oil pumps, soft cams, substandard conrods and or shells. The list goes on as does the list of engines that have covered 150k miles with no problems.
The common belief is that the oil needs changing on a more regular basis that the long life schedule states.

1.9 TDI 105hp BXE engines were fitted to VW,Audi Seat and Skoda vehicles from Feb 2006 through to April 2010

Any kind of breath hold diving has risks but the risks are far greater if you dive alone. Add in the hunting element and it becomes more dangerous as you are more likely to push yourself beyond safe limits.
I was involved with Free Diving for many years and lost several acquaintances who were spearing alone so I would strongly advise against it.
That said, it’s your life so your choice.

Yes they are within their rights. 6% of gift vouchers are not redeemed source

I reckon your doll must have been wearing Yamaha instead of Honda kit :D

Sure was. Pedrosa out with broken collar bone.
Laverty apparently OK.
Marquez manages to almost hold it on his knee/elbow but jumps straight back on.

This year there have been several smaller sharks arriving at Guadalupe Island and the cages are designed to allow maximum visibility for divers. The shark went for the bait attached to the cage and managed to squeeze through the bars. Sharks have cartilaginous skeletons allowing them to fit through fairly tight spaces. The blood is almost certainly from the bait eaten on the way through the cage.
The people on the video asking if there is anyone in there are fellow passengers rather than staff of the operation. The Dive Master knew that he had a diver in the cage.

Your FIL will also be liable to the new additional home Stamp Duty which is an extra 3% presuming he currently owns a property anywhere in the World.
That will be an extra £9k making a total of £14k.

I do a bit of road riding on my Hybrid with 32mm tyres, wearing MTB baggy clothing and have hairy legs. If I manage to catch a full on roadie Lord of Lycra type I often sit on their wheel for a while. I find that if I overtake them, their hairless legs cannot help but increase their cadence.
It’s as if, in their mind, they should be faster than me and I have insulted their manliness. For that reason I usually sit behind out of some kind of misguided sense of deference.
I will now make a point of saying Hi just to be polite but I do a bit of road riding in Italy on my semi slick shod MTB so the language issue is a problem.

Cheers OP.
Just watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Many thanks acidtest.

Can someone please point me in the direction of a video of the event?
Checked out Red Bull TV but I can’t find it despite them having all the World Cup rounds available.
Ta.

What’s in the box?

Is it full of empty promises?

I use these:
Shimano Pedal Adapter
They work well but need a bit of leverage to remove.

OK OP, based on your comments, I would recommend……

You can hum along when you need a boost. Much safer :wink:

All depends on what type of Jelly Fish. Some are mild irritations, some are deadly.
Given the choice I would go for the light weight version of the Jelly over a nettle. If it were a Box Jelly Fish, I’d jump in a bed of nettles to avoid a “negative interaction”.

OK, I’ll bite…..
Why on earth would you want headphones on whilst on the trail?

You may find that some Insurance Companies want a bit more than £7. Most have a £35 admin fee that they like to apply as often as possible.
Last year I tried to add a friend to my policy that had 6 months left to run. The friend is in his late 50’s, has maximum no claims, no convictions and lives in the middle of the countryside. My insurer wanted £150 to add him as a named driver!
His insurer added me as a named driver on his policy for £35.
When the usual renewal game started this year I told my insurer that this was the main reason for not renewing. That and the fact that their quote had gone from being the cheapest to double the cost of a policy with better cover.

I’ll have a wild guess at:
Stelbel Antenore

The very fact that this thread is now on page 10 shows that she screwed up massively by ever getting to the position where she needed to call the Lawyers in.
Although I very much doubt that she doped, she has now cast a shadow of doubt over her career. Unless we can find someone who can explain the full facts of how the system of updating an athletes location works, there is no way of telling how avoidable this situation was. If it is as simple as logging on via an App then she has little or no excuse. I appreciate there may be times when web access is unavailable but most people would make sure that they were 100% on top of the situation if they had 1 strike, let alone 2 strikes.
There is now so much mud and smoke surrounding her lack of attention to detail that is hard not to have an element of doubt. She should never have put herself in a position where the doubt was raised.

You need some Bead Sealer
You will also need to be able to get the tyre off the rim and refit it so maybe pop along to your local Independent Tyre Fitter rather that KwikFit.

They have recently changed the TV Licence system in Italy. There is no longer a separate licence fee. They have just lumped it on to your electricity bill. The idea is that if you have electricity you are capable of using the services of the State Broadcaster, RAI. Half of RAI’s revenue came from the licence fee, the rest from advertising.
When there was a Licence many people did not bother, partly because there was only a 50 euro fine if you were caught watching TV without a licence.
Personally, I have no problem paying the UK TV Licence fee as I hate adverts and appreciate the quality of parts of the BBC’s output.
