Morning People, Well, I guess the question is in the Title, really. Does anyone know if a trials bike will fit in a Vauxhall Zafira with all the seats in the back folded down? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks for your advice, Gents. With that and a new hose things should be a lot easier.

Apologies for asking because I'm sure this must've been covered before.... I'm finding it a real pain getting the air box hose round the rear shock and onto the back of the carb. It seems difficult to line everything up and when I tighten the hose clamp it pulls the hose away from the far side of the carb. (Have ordered a new hose as the old one is a bit mangled). Can anyone advise me of the 'knack' of lining it all up, please? Many thanks.

Superb, concise, advice thank you, Duggan. That's the first one done and I'll take care of the second one in the morning. Thanks again, Chris.

I want to change the fork oil and, reading the manual, it says to measure the new fork oil amount with the spring removed. (160mm gap from the oil to the top of the extended fork tube). That's fair enough - but how do you get the spring/rod out? . I have the fork legs out of the clamps. I can undo the fork caps. Can't see how the spring/rod disconnects from the cap. . Any help very gratefully received, thanks.

Thanks for the advice, people. . I have managed to get the spindle out - there was some rust/corrosion between it and the disc-side wheel bearing inner race. This caused just enough resistance to make me feel like I was going to do some damage if I hit it any harder harder. Liberal use of some GT85, a bit of heat, and a clump with a hammer freed it off so I could then drift the spindle out. . So for anyone wondering the spindle should come out with the four pinch bolts loosened, the disc-side cap removed, and then you push/tap the spindle out. . Some copperslip (thanks, Jordi) should mean it'll come out easily next time.......

Thanks, Gents. I think my spindle must be a little bit 'sticky' on the right hand side and needs freeing off. Regards, Chris.

A slightly embarrasing question, this, but worth asking before I go and mess something up. . Can anyone tell me how the front wheel spindle comes out, please? . Is it: loosen the pinch bolts, undo the little cap on the disc-side, and then turn the spindle from the other side with a hex bit? . I don't have a 15mm (is it 15mm?) hex bit so haven't been able to try it for myself. . Thanks for any help you can provide.

Jadieki, can I ask a qustion? Was the sound your engine made a bit like 'pinking'? You know, when the engine is running too lean and makes a little 'knocking' or 'pink, pink' noise when you blip the throttle?' I think mine may be doing this and wonder if new rings and a clean up may cure it. Thanks.

Can anyone help me out, please? My Evo 2009 really needs new clutch, front brake and gear levers. Looking around the web it seems like it'll cost me about £15 each for brake and clutch (Grimeca style required not AJP) and £25 for a gear lever. Maybe I'm an old skinflint but this seems more than enough to me. Does anyone have any bargain lever recommendations, please? Many thanks.
