Jcb 3cx !

To be fair it’s hardly marked externally or internally,& it’s certainley not fractured otherwise I’d have changed it ASAP !,I’m quite funny with owt like tht,I guess it’s a conscience thing !,thx anyway ..

From experience with my two,keep under a 1.2 & nothing that says gti,sport,turbo etc etc & summert cheep cos they will crash trust mi,it’s part of the learning process !..

I know a lad whose an Rx7/8 specialist !,he’s flatout,they require engine rebuilds like you wouldn’t believe!,£2800/3000 a pop,some under 30000 miles !.

When theyre running,they’ll pass anything apart from a petrol station ,& the oil consumption is horrific ..

By a Golf gttdi …

Depends if ya like walkin n quaint country pubs or sight seein n shopping !

Soaked the pads in white spirit

Are or real ??,its oil based ffs !!!,you wanna STOP doing your own Mechanicing & pay for it doing right,& STOP giving advice full stop !,by all means hurt yourself but not others,you’ll be needin a good public liability solicitor the way youre goin pal…

Ive just sold a 2010 3.0 ltr invicable auto,& i can tell you unless you a specific job for one,abeit Farmer,Horses etc,do not buy one,the ride is bouncy & harsh,as its sprung to carry a ton,they’re too long to park,they’re not easy to park either full stop,fuel is 20/25 mpg,i am a very experienced driver,of many large & awkward vehicles,& they are a pig,no lock etc,& L200’s are worse,had wanna them too,so tread carefully,if its a lifestyle vehicle you want,buy a VW Transporter,job done..

Its a major purchase you may live to regret !.

Got yah !,were always learning arn’t we ?,lol..

Coyote,not quite up to date with abreviated txt lingo but I get the general answer !,were not all the same are we ?,thk
**** !..

Wonder what Jacobs ladder would make of it !,it’d all be in a bin liner @ bottom …

For what pads cost it Int worth it lads !,just bin emm ..you’ve only got one head,one set of teeth etc etc ..ya need ya brakes ..

i bet they do a great latte,whilst you read the Times,old boy !!

Depends whats contaminated them !,if its owt Oil related,personally i’d binnem,but Brake cleaner etc,gets most stuff out,whats been on em ??

BLEED THEM.

The factory bleed will disappoint you. Make sure you do it exactly as Hope says and also do the rubber band method.

Thx ! 😉

I had a similar problem,funnily enuff he was a member here,he refunded me,as he had sold the item elsewhere for more money!, he doesn’t know I know that,however I did get a refund’left him some selective feedback,& put it down to experience,whether ure losing money or not,a deals a deal in my book,but its 2012 ,i guess were not all the same,thankfully.

I personally spoke to them the other day & asked the? ,to be told its £10,000 !,as we have already have a higher value section for specific Jewellery items,I asked if we needed to soecify bikes,I was told no,you have a 10k individual item cover that’ll do it!.

Were with Swinton & got 10k cover but not away from the house!

The japs will probably already av an app for tht!

Had 5k worth of bikes nicked out of my garage 6 weeks ago and have since fitted electric gates to house and extended house alarm to the garage. My missus said that was unneccessary and that I was overreacting…..

Hide her iron !,then tell her it nust have been stolen,see if shes over reacting then !!,women eh …

i use Endomondo,& it is good,just make sure youre batteries 100 % charged as its soon flat thts the trouble ..

Just buy a Carrera Blast !,no building no messin job done !,ways ure friend ..I’vee put him some thumb shifters & some hydraulic brakes on as the clarks cables ones were crap,& it’s made a proper little bike !.

I put a nice set of cowhorns on the thing

I remember Cowhorns too,lol,them wo the days eh !!,lol

Kids av no idea today,we dint av x boxes,tinternet n Sky telly etc,i were never in me,up to no good out on mi bike..

I had an Original Carlton as a kid,it was previousley my Dads,he then bought me a Claud Butler,in 531 with a campag groupset,i only sold it about 5 years ago,them were the days,i live in Worksop,2 mins from the original factory which is where the Carlton was made,Raleighs corporates shut the factory !.

Another good local built bike was an Hetchins,made in Doncaster,with the curly rear stays anyone got one o them ??.

Bit too close for comfort for me that !,theivin ****!,I’ll keep an eye out chief !,where did they take it from ?

Buy an Orange 5, mind you apparentley pykeys are nickin em & weighin em in as theyre heavier than manole lids railway lines n cable put together! ,thats why i bought one! ,if i get skint,just weigh the fecker in boss! ..

Youve done it now! ,well all probaby get banned or the thread gets pulled! ,goo on my son…keep ya bowells open btw..

Hmm,makes ya wonder dont it? ,maybe its me eh? ,lol,still no look then i take it chief?

Fibrax Sintered they don’t fall to bits like superstars !

I saw some Hope team Green socks on there the other day,they went for over £20.00 !!!,Worlds gone mad..Not sure if they were pre-worn or not,Pantys yeah !,but socks,nooooo way bro…lol

Just make sure you use Brake or Carb cleaner,Meths !,NOT,petrol,turps on any oily substance,its gotta be something that evaporates.. !

Lol oh aye !
