Re: How do you post a link to a previous posting?

Didn't know that myself.

Now, how do you change the link name to say "clicky" or similar?

Re: Report that pothole!

I tried reporting one this morning, had to wait half an hour in Police station reception, nearly got arrested.

Re: manual ccts

It'll start to sound a tiny bit rattly, and you can just nip them up a flat or two on the bolt while the engine's running and hear when the rattling goes quiet. But be careful- keep a spanner on the end of the adjuster at all times if you do it while the engine's running. Otherwise, one flat at a ti...

Re: manual ccts

It's worth adding, in case anyone else who's looking for info searches for this thread, that you can also have manuals which are conversions made from the originals- I use these sometimes as it makes the front one easier to adjust, as it's taller than the bolt-type ones.
