bike won't start

[MacV2]

Well done, good work Carl...

So did you find anything wrong with the old one ?

As for the car in the way...put the window through & take the handbrake off & push it...simples.

Would be interesting to find out what bit failed on the old loom for future reference

we never stripped the loom to find the problem, our money is on the wires going into the top ecu box, because it was unattached and bouncing around the undertray, we think the wires going into were damaged.
as for the car blocking the back gate, in the accident the front wheels have been turned inwards toward the wall, so even putting the window thru wouldn't help, as the steering lock will prevent me from steering the car out of the way..... [/quote]

Set fire to the wombles then...it'll get towed after that...

Seriously, put another note on there politely asking them to move it for access reasons & adding that you sort of witnessed what happened as well.

No idea where the fault was in the loom but I had to strip some parts of the loom back and fix some dodgy repairs on it before where it had an alarm removed or something. So it an old dogdy loom anyway. We suspect there may be a break in the wire somewhere near the ECU/ICM as they came loose and where swinging around at the rear.

How close did it come to my bike


The Red thing at the rear put his foot down to mount the kerb a little too hard and then hit his own car that was parked up and pushed that into the one in front which hit the one in front of that and stopped just before my bike. He shunted all the cars about 1 car length.


You can juts make out the skidmark alongside the kerb from where the front wheel is on the Red on and along to the back wheel of the other one which is his car as well He had reversed the Red one back up by this point.


What a numbpty.

That's the point where I'd put a beefy chain and padlock on each of the cars wheels, and inform said gentleman that he's unfit as a driver and should contact Marty for his future transportation needs... Effin drivers...

if you ask the cops nicely they may track down the owner for you . they do it for us at work if a car is on a carriageway box we need access to ( sometimes ). the fact you can assist with the guilty party is an incentive for the owner
