Woop woop!! The day's finally arrived. I came home to a brown envelope from Manchester with my tax disc and reg number I rushed out to the shop and got my plates, I was shaking nearly, then stuck the back one on (the front can wait) drove car to top of drive and.........no brakes! Where've they gone? Anyhow a quick bleed and all sorted. Got my helmet on and left the street with a few of the neighbours watching. I did alright up to the main road and managed to skip through the roundabout but the traffic was building up. Down the road a couple of miles to the roundabout and set off back. The roads a bit more worn on this side (HGV's) and I think I've the wrong springs on the back as I was out of my seat a few time. The steering was wandering slightly and I ended up stuck in the traffic and stalling it an obscene amount of times. Once when there was a chav at the side just grinning at me The clutch seems a bit sticky when it's coming out, probably the cable but anyway, 3 years later from collecting a load of steel on a roof rack I'm now whipping it around at 50mph! Cheers to all along the way, still got a bit further to go I think!

Have you got floor mounted pedals, if so a residual pressure valve will sort that out (ral design do them)
Darren

Cheers Darren. I'll have to look into that. Don't want to be bleeding them every time I go out. I might just nip out again later but when the traffics gone so I don't have to keep stalling, sorry stopping and messing with the gears. Definitely need to look at the suspension though.

Nice one

Time to change your user name??

Razman had the same problem with his aeon. I think as long as the fluid tank is much higher than the caliper the fluid will not flow back from the caliper.

Darren

Nice one. It'll Take a few trips before you get used to the clutch. Are you going to join us at Newark?

I can't be bothered to find you all those smileys... So:

Whoop, Whoop!

weldone, did Mr Caleed finally get round to sorting your paperwork out then, see you around soon i hope

Joe

Cheers fellas.
Caleed is not much more useful than a button on a sock! Only works 3 days, 1 of which is spent sat at Chadderton where you can't get him and he lost my paperwork! Seems to get unduly stressed at everything but I'm there now anyhow

ya hoo, we need to get a trip out sorted, was talikg to a chap who has just built a westfield and had it sva'd 2 weeks ago, lives 2 min from me and thats walking.
We have now exchanged numbers, so so mad.

Just tried another drive and noticed that the accelerator cable nipple had slipped so fixed it and wow! It revved up and flew Setting off without stalling was easier though I still did and got called a sh1t driver by a fat drunk!
