cuz they are boring....

i went down that route got the vented disks as advised sierra calipers drilled out caliper etc still not fit............had to have the disks turned down on a lathe the brakes are far better.................but not sure if it was worth all the hassle (doing it on my drive in the cold) i did see that some one used standard disks, but spent about £80 on some soopa doopa pads ... maybe another , much more straight forward option

a v-twin bike engine (honda sp2/ rc51) would sound sweet and has loads of low down grunt and about 130bhp

ok..... chers fella

nice one............ can this post be saved as a permamant thing

had my truck about 18 months now........... and still think it is the MOST practical car i have ever owned.... and it still makes me smile sometimes when i see it first week on the road doing it`s job more work steam powered ? day off

no Tom that is our summer pricing and if your getting "fun with drawals", then you could even have a potter around in mine ...

AMAZING WHAT A BIT OF POLISH CAN DO

orange and black

thank you.. and , sorry, do they fit straight on WITH my original, existing calipers thanks ... Keith

hi Tom... sorry to be a pain.. i have just looked at front disks, but am un-sure which will fit.. the 2 links below seem to have different hub depths... could you please let me know which specific disks i will need (make model year etc) thank you very much.........

how much for the lowering springs please..... if your breaking it.. and do you know how much lower than standard they are thank you ... Keith

thank you Tom...... will check it out... it was noted on last MOT that the pads were low and disks were pitted and scored, so it i have to change them, i may aswell upgrade the whole thing.. so it will be fine with 15 inch wheels too thank you......... Keith

is there a straight swap out there... one which needs no or little modifications or fabrications.. (as it would be done on my drive way, and i have not much access to fabrication gear) i am fairly competent with a set of spanners and mostly.......... will it make a noticeable difference thanks fellas.....Keith

had this with mind, recovery bloke said the pump had power, but not work.. so pump was broken bought one, fitted it, still nothing i checked voltage to the pump and only had 7.7 volts turns out it was the fuse board............... replaced it ... and all it good so check ya voltage

got the photos....... 1st 2 are the plastic back plate of the fuse box..you can see water damage and where it has got hot and started to melt the plastic.. the next 2 are the tracks that connect the fuses and relays, again you can see damage and where they have lifted up

cheers mukka well all sorted now.. bridged it still no fuel pump life dropped out the fuse board and opened it all up hmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting the "tracks" were a nice green colour, lose and even melted the plastic fuse board ordered a new second hand one (skoda dont make them any more), and the truck now lives problem solved....... cheers

wound which one it is no noise when ignition switched on, so, removed it, bashed it , now it clicks when ignition is turned on still no fuel coming thru though ideas please

cheers Tom can you help me with the location of the fuel pump relay and how to by pass it just to check it out please

hello chaps... has any one any pics of where and which one is the fuel pump relay please i have a 99 , 1.6 petrol the car would not start the other day so called "recovery", matey said there was power to the fuel pump, so the pump looked like the problem ordered one, changed it today, and still the same.... turns over but no fuel flowing i checked the voltage, and there is NOT any electrickery getting to the pump (well 7.7v) the spade type fuses are fine, but do not seem to have power either, so i would like to try the fuel pump relay and does any one know which terminals i would have to connect, to by pass the relay thanks folks..................

braided hoses as standard on a KTM.... the standard pads, with the standard 4 pot easly lets you do stoppies tho i was just wondering about my pick up tho, just for road use

what about normal driving fella....

so no changing caliper just those pads........... will they make that much difference only asking as i have tried all sorts on my KTM supermoto, but dont really feel any difference (road pads, scintered, kevlar etc)
