Hacksaw blade holdy bit thingy do-dah?

I had 100 miles on a tank in france when the light came on, 3 closed petrol stations later i'm getting a bit twitchy. We're rolling into the fourth station and she's bucking around all over the place. Finally runs out of juice about 30 meters away from the pump (which is thankfully open). So I just ...

Wow. Fantastic work mate - wish I had that to read when I did mine (Might have straight valves then!!). Hah.

Cheers.

That's some atrocious parking

I'll have the front discs .
