Volvomeg

I did a single mass flywheel conversion on my MK1 octavia vrs and it was just a matter of getting flywheel from an older model (mk3 golf gti) and a VR6 clutch kit to marry upto the gearbox splines, The fabia is 6 speed so is slightly differant i believe but if you get the kit it is just as simple as remove and refit, Just be warned been diesel the duel mass is there to reduce vibration from the engine and removing it will increase vibration, to what extent am not sure as never driven a diesel thats had conversion

Same as usual, target the easy thing a camera can catch and make money from, be to busy watching your speedo rather than the road

It was on bike when i got it and it appears to work ok and i have breakdown cover so i just left it on it, Its not declared on insurance so could remove it, but ill check manual first see if i can find a service mode, Its not usually a problem as i have said chager at home but bikes at my parents at moment away from any plug sockets

I have a couple of the cheaper oxford 600 chargers and there always seems to be at least one of them in use, My bike has a datatool alarm on my bike so carn't disconnect battery as it raises the roof if i do so have to keep a charger on it, I also made a lead up to keep my xc90 battery topped up when am not using it, I have a plugin digital current reader and plugged charger into it once just to see what it used and it was less than boiling a kettle

Alldens exhaust in Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, He had a triumph thruxton in last time i went and had made some replica cans for it but slightly smaller that made more noise

7k on your first bike, that is a hell of alot of money to throw down road if you come off it, I paid 3200 for my fist bike and had my licence 15 months and ended up sliding down road avoiding somebody else,

I had the email from the firm i bought my filter off but carn't read numbers on filter but its due an oil change anyway so am going to swop it out

The problem is the governments have spent 15 years telling everybody diesel are best thing since sliced bread without looking at all the facts and figures, There now trying to do the same with hybrids and electric without looking at the wider enviromental impact again and usuing dieselgate to do it,

Yeah mostly sorted just waiting for my custom twin exhaust splitter pipe to finished been made then i can bin the standard can, Only really been riding local since and it was nice to get out on my own and relearn the bike again and build my confidence back up in it, Not quiet sure where i went but squires to cawood to escrick and through back way to elvington to melbourne and then cut through to market weighton and onto seeways via wetwang, I went from seaways backway to scarborough and ended up coming down staxton hill and did about 5 miles on A64 into scarborough I usually tend to try and avoid A64 but by time i got to malton it was starting to get dark and my bum was starting to ache so it was A64 from malton to designer outlet at york and onto A19 and home

So basically euro 4, 5 and 6 are one big con, Didn't see that coming much

I went out and blew cobwebs off my hornet on sunday, 200 mile ride out to scarborough via seaways cafe and then coast road to whitby and back over moors to pickering,

Well after 5 phone calls today 3 of which I couldn't hear a word women was saying there coming out again Wednesday morning, So am going to try and get a couple of hours off work so I can talk to them

If id of known I could have left a note on front door for them but they didn't give me a day when it was arranged for them to come but they did have my mobile number, Have requested another call back, lets try again

Slight update, 2 vans arrived on Friday with 1 high vis bloke in each van while me and swmbo were at work They walked past the hole i've dug on drive and knocked on door, stood and had a conversion on drive next to said hole for 5 minutes, had a walk up and down drive, then stood and had another conversion next to one of vans as next doors son was pottering about in front garden and then left, What a complete and utter waste of time, obviously nothing I had said on phone got relayed to them,

If its anything like Volvo then the same vin on multiple cars would be picked up with recalls and service history entries onto central servers, Along with any software updates as they might have same vins but modules within the vehicles would all have different serial numbers even if they used the same software, The first half of a vin also tells you manufacturer, model year, what model it is and engine and gearbox types
