    Love the lights the spares but they're aways just a fraction behind where the technology is. XPG should be in something that pricey and new NOW. I've had XRE's in their housings for 18 months.

    You'd be better off with a turbine, but only just. Solar Hot water is realistic and the payback time better.

    Does that board come with the led's os is it just the Metal PCB?
    If not I'll be interested in a pair with some optics.

    It was the cutter XRE 100 kit glues to a piece of bent brass plate screwed to the back of the clamp inside the housing with LED glued to it with thermal epoxy. The bukpak went in the waterbottle battery.
    As I said not much more light but much longer burn time and whiter light too.

    I had a set of 230's and changed the bulbs for a simple single LED conversion, not much more light but loads more battery life. Halogen is technolohy of the past.

    I'd look for a new tripple XPG to fit one of my lamps to replace the q5's.
    Just can't find where they are. Would the new XPG's need more power from the driver or could I just retrofit the new led's behind the same optic?

    If bailifs enter a property through an open window or door into a house where the debtor dosen't like, isn't that and ilegal entry? and the removal of items not belonging to the debtor is theft? Am I wrong about those facts?

    I can get an Ultimate Lever off CRC but it costs as much as three juicy 3's. Do they sell any other versions as lever alone?

    That'll be why there are dicks up there with (trail) bikes then. Good work all the same.

    The front cover is over exposed by about two and a half stops. That's the point a which my expertise ends.
    Haven't read much more yet – looks like there is enough to read, just lots of interviews.

    I got underlay from a factory shop and got our carpet fitter Dave the carpet to price uyp the job. I'd not fit a carpet myself and rate carpet salesmem up there along side used car dealers estate agents. Allthough having said that I'd never fit a carpet myself.

    sounds like a standard practice, over supply then you'll guarentee a full studio. we went to see top gear and had there been too many people some wouldn't have been let in. Depends how much you want to go and how far you've travelled. I don't think i'd bother again.

    Only use this one or the Classifieds, which is where this will end up shortly. The bike is, after all, what I was planning on riding rather than mending some septic software engineers' lack of aptitude!
    Ho Hum just think lovely maccy thought.

    Correction there are 8 versions of the same driver Eight! That's more than 7 useless driver for one that works?
    They haven't issued 8 driver for the OS X platform so it can't be that fundamental.
    No wonder It people are pale, they never get to go out!

    I wish they could have done my forks. They said they couldn't do magnesium. That looks so smooth it's like liquid.

    I agree Turbo oil seal, I've read reports of the engine revving on just spilt turbo charger coolant oil getting into the manifold. Doubt it'll be an engine, More like a turbo oil seal or perhaps a charger, look about for a scraped one while it waits to come home if your mate will be doing the work.

    Nothing really marked loads of soft hills and mud. You'll not get too lost if you've got a map. If you find my car keys please let me know.

    Imobiliser usually. Our Punto does put a key symbol on occasionally but we think se's just forgetful.

    Caustic soad worked when we got alu and steel parts stuck. Bit of a frame eater though.

    Would a small carefull applied coat of car body Lacquer be any good? You can smooth it down with T cut without damaging the surface till it's very very smooth?

    It must be a day for it. My Talas forks having been lovingly resprayed and re sealed I broke the foot nut off the lower talas side after misreading the distructions.

    I Used to live there and it depends on what part. The top close to the station is on the flight path, i lived further south towards the river and canal at Newlay lane and the aircraft, still audable, weren't a problem. It's nice though. We enjoyed it but couldn't afford a hutch there so moved further west.

    Make a special screwdriver by filing the centre of the blade out with a file, the metal is the end of the spoke coming trough the nipple.

    I like the D90's video. Just keep the shots steady, it's scanning technique makes things a bit weird and jelly -like especially in panning. I've also found that there is a limitation in the duration of footage it can shoot, with the ccd being protected once it reaches a certain temperature.
    Shoots ok stills too.

    Looks good but I find Vimeo dreadful to watch, it won't flow but is constantly jerking and momenterally pausing which spoils the effect. You tube every time for me.
    Looks nice, is there a link to the route somewhere?

    we camped in one on the hill overlooking the more westerly bay. Usual campsite stuff until you reached the showers/bogs. Really – i've stayed in good hotels with worse facilities, really nice warm clean quiet and endless hot water. No 50p dashes in cold wet drafty showers for me.

    Is it only me that thinks Vimeo is unwatchable and stutters. Could be a great vid. You tube is better.

    Wish I'd know about that. I grew up round there, had I know (had it have been built then) I could have found even more ways to break myself/bike/friends.
    Have you looked on Google earth sat imaging might be good enough.

    etrex is good. Simple. you;ll need a lead and the software as it dosen't usually come with it.

    I've also got a GPS 72 which is much the same but bigger, more marine orientated and naturally it floats.

    Loads of free software is about to help get track and logs in and out of the unit if your visiting route sites like bikely. So you don't really need multi map if you've got Google earth.

    just collected the wife's punto, 2000 model 1.2 whose gasget went.
    Damage was 660 quid!

    So her goes.
    Gasget
    Cam belt plus tensioner kit
    Water pump
    Head bolt set
    re-skim of warped head.
    7 hours work.

    I really wouldn't mind knowing how to do them but re timing a car is totally critical or your'll ben the head and I've never had the confidence to try. Still if it's worth nowt what's the worry. Try if you fail scrap it.

    I has a set of 08 MX comps, i could move them with my hands, in the end they replaced them and those i have don't knock. Won't be buying any more of those, Marzocchi forks. Going to way of another form manufacturer that starts with M.
