My trip home after picking up the bus. It had made 500 miles before this. Turned out to be an easy quick fix but not so lucky a year later when the engine threw a valve and smashed a piston to bits! :(

Thought I recognised that lay by lol outside gsf in sneinton? Every time I drive past there's someone under a dub doing a pit stop repair :lol:


Glad you were able to get it sorted and back on your way :D happy days :mrgreen:
 
Well a mate of mine had a trip round France and on the way home had a check engine light come on and limp mode activated, hours by the road side and a long trip back North from just this side of the Tunnel.

It happens to the best of Em ;), Its now sat at the dealers who "can't find a problem"

 
:cry:

Had a blowout and no amount of tyre gel was going to fix it. Recovery driver was sound though and found us a new tyre at half 5 on a bank holiday Friday!
