  1. DL12 doesnt have the "ring" of JT7 sounds like a postcode
  2. I recently changed my LWB primastar which was my 2nd one and both were absolutely fine.I was struggling to come to terms with prices of new vans, when i was offered by a dealer a 12/07 ducato, 35000m 100bhp 2.2.the price was well under

    quality Assurance

    I think to blame irc tyres particularly is a bit harsh, leaking through the rim tape is not down to the tyre!!! I have found that a can of the white foam puncture stuff, Fini-lec i think it used to be called cures it .When i bought my new 06 gasser the shop supplied a can ready. You just have to watch it doesnt block the valve.
  5. i had a 1.9 dispatch,no problems other than big hitters in milk floats taking the p**s.
  6. absolute nightmare, i ended up with bike upside down on handlebars, it goes on a lot easier just watch the rear plastics. My fingers and thumb were purple.
  7. was checking the new fan before hillsboro's xmas trial thanks
  8. Having spoken to the residents i was upsetting (neighbours) it has since become apparent that the fella is setting up a smallholding, the "said" gate is illegal as its blocking a right of way, his dogs have attacked numerous dog walkers,there is a petition against noise he is creating,and he is a full on prick.I wasnt aware who he was,but i am now! As in my post, about my stolen bike i said to the police much of the same as you have said, the answer was "everybody throws that one at us". Had they caught me riding the bike it may have been a different story.
  9. Having bought a replacement fan and studied bigfoots instructions didnt fancy it,so i took bike to a local fella to sort it,picked it up sunday afternoon. As we are rural i thought i'd take it down the lane opposite our house to see how it was.I wouldnt normally do this having had my 06 nicked i keep it out sight.After 10-15 mins every thing seemed fine,but rear brake seemed spongy. I was riding in and out of a dike,middle of nowhere. I noticed a bloke looking at me, then shut a gate and padlocked it.I rode over poliely asked if he would open it. "No.And i've rung the police". About a mile and a half across fields , dykes,lanes etc.etc. down the next the neighbours back garden parked it up in my garage.I could see local plods car parked on the road opposite, what i didnt see was two police x-trails down the lane,then the Fu***ng helicopter appear from behind the houses.As the bike was away in the garage had a stroll over, and asked them what was up,"MOTORBIKER UPSETTING THE RESIDENTS" came the reply.So i told them it was me,and they could now manage without putting the country in an even worse state, wasting money on an expensive helicopter.Ended up having name and address taken and told them i was on a ZX1000. To be honest,they were ok. The fans fine but back brake seems to have gone.........
  10. it used to leak on my beta, i'm sure it could be tightened up (threaded). just a thought.
  11. Just got my replacement from cornwall boat shop, keep looking at it and putting it off, dont really fancy attempting it!!!!!!
  12. i think thats great news, keeps dougie involved with trials at the heighest level,hopefully can take gasgas to enduro at the heighest level,john shirt (as much as he likes dibsta)must be absoloutely creaming his pants.hopefully he will ride a red gasser, not a gold one.
  13. hmmm,i thought they might have been at it by now, maybe gasbetaben is checking the contracts prior to the drivel.
  14. well, are you a novice (clubmen) or beginner?
  15. Emma bristow has had an 09 and 010 on ebay recently,the 09 never made
  16. I used to have a 96 321, i found the best way to sort any problems was with a lump hammer.
