If you can't turn it clockwise at all I would say it sounds like the spring has gone on that tensioner and the plunger has retracted as far as it can, that would give the feeling that you have explained "as if I was up against a stop" especially if you can turn it anti-clokwise with no res...

Are you positive the pipe for the vacuum is connected to the correct outlet on the tap :?: This is the earlier version 16ltr tank model, not the later version 19ltr tank model I'm referring too. If you look at the tap, the outlet that faces the ground on the bottom of the tap is just a drain out-let...

Hi Mark, £350 in it, and a big decision :!: :lol: It's got to be your choice really. I'd probably go with the SP myself, but you've already had an SP so I think you'll probably go for a change this time. The only thing I've heard about the TL (apart from the suspension issues that you no doubt are ...

i am a genuine buyer and my bid was £100 but because he had a start price of 99p and i was the only bidder the price automatically stays at 99p. a higher starting price or resevre would of been better. i have just put 1 of me cars on ebay with a starting bid of £800 with no reserve after that. th...

A very good thing to note that JBrebel, about the year of the forks concerning the caliper mounting points, if you're fitting the Fireblade forks that are the normal way up :!: Shaun Pallister used forks from a 96/97 Fireblade (as shown in his vtwo.demon.co.uk link) and I have a feeling they changed...

I bet that was a good night Iggy :!: Well done on being there, nice to have met the guy :D 8) I like JT too, I just wish he'd not beat himself up so much as he did this year when he doesn't do as well as he'd hoped. I think he feels he letting his fan's down, but I don't think his fan's expect him t...

Yes I agree it does annoy you when a seller pulls an item from the auction. But on the other hand as much as you would have been over the moon to have bought that frame for 99p + p&p, (lets face it, we all like a bargain) had you been the seller you definitely wouldn't have been. IMHO the seller...

Stevie, You're right about how colours can look/change in a digi photo, especially on ebay when they're taken with a not very good phone camera :!: Ah the brighter darker Yellow looks good but the paler not so IMO some of the shiny darker yellows with polished rims look excellent .

Ratty, I does sound like it could be one of the CCT's that's failed. If you're careful you can remove the end bolt from the CCT and put a small flat bladed screwdriver into the rear of the CCT, then locate in the slot of the worm/screw. If you try turning it CLOCKWISE 1/2 a turn you should then feel...
