Can’t try it at the moment but if I remember right all you have to do is lock the car again with the key and the alarm will not get set.

Used the brackets that came with the light bar and drilled the grill and bolted to that. Know that sounds a little strange, but it’s been 4 years and it’s not budged (or fallen out ) see the photo in the previous post which has the Red lines show where I cut the grill for the opening and the...

Funny isn’t it that sometimes it’s the easy things we never even try!

Love it Karl, was a few £ (they seem to cost even more now then when I got mine) but great to have the CB easily used but also out of the way. The led interior lights are great also, much better than the 1 candle power ones installed by mr t. Small “locker” not that useful but do use it when...

You can remove the unit with the interior light and sensors without having any negative effect, this will remove the interior alarm sensor. I’ve done this so that I could install a roof center console and have had no issues for over 2 years. Can’t recall the exact arrangement, but if I remember...

Summer is never long enough with a 120 How true!!

Not replaced, but have had it out and ‘fixed’ it by creating a new bushing. Hardest part of the job was removal of the wiper blade holders from the splines, but once they were off it’s a simple task to remove the plastic covers and once removed there’s plenty of room to work and remove the...

Think it’s weird to have a low beam warning light but can see that on cars with day light running and dumb drivers that it is probably necessary. The amount of people I see when it’s dark / raining / foggy who don’t have their lights on these days is just unbelievable- but every one of then has...

I believe it manufacture date- year month

Quick oil & filter change and fuel filter changed too.

Hmmm, Looks like the signage for ULEZ is not legal, and therefore you might not have to pay!

@RichC4 - Gale my recommendation panned out.

Really you should go via a relay, and also have the power to the relay switched also so that high beam can be on without the light bar. If not then you will most probably fail your next mot as your high beam pattern will be incorrect.

These days (at my age) everything takes a long while !!!!

Hmm that will be interesting - no taking the bulbs out of the upper lights now as they are LED units! Still if that's the case then I guess some tape over the lower bumper ones at MOT time :) Then there is only 1 set :expressionless:

Got around to completing the installation of the new rear light clusters. Big thank you to @Tractionman for pointing me in the right direction to a seller on eBay that sold the correct crimps for the connector so that the two 'missing' wires could be installed. Crimp Connectors: Installing...

Could you use two small spade connectors, or possibly solder flying leads directly to it and cover with heat shrink tubing? Just a thought.

@AndycruiserguyLomas what app are you using for logging mileage via gps? Looked at a few but not found an easy/free/cheap one.

Rich, I’m based in Leyland and have used this guy before and know of others that have used him and he is excellent Air conditioning installation by Chill Out Air Conditioning Contact the team of experts at Chill Out Air Conditioning for air conditioning installation in Leyland, Preston, and...

I think its connector BF1 (page 110/111) which is the connector for the additional wiring harness that goes to sub fuel tank sender etc. See page 258 which shows the options with and without the tank which shows the 'shorting wire' across pins 1 and 3 (it's a 5 pin connector by the way).

As long as it has a hose then you should be able to get a replacement regulator for the bottles you own. Just remember that if designed for Propane then it should only be used on propane, if designed for butane then only used on butane (Some stoves have replacement nozzles for each gas type -...

Go on, who else is watching?

I didn’t think that these locks required any turning of the lock or key but that the key when inserted simply engages some small pins right near the back and then the lock will just pull straight off; hence the normal put the key in and wiggle the key / lock approach “helps” engage the pins...

Always good to have people in the know as friends - Hope you get it sorted soon.

Not known it to get stuck before @Raj as the connector doesn’t have any clips or locking mechanism on it, it’s just a push fit. Try holding it at the sides and giving it a wiggle side to side whilst pulling it. Doubt you can do too much damage as the socket end is connected to the car, your...

@Raj You've said that installing windows 10 spoiled your laptop? Assume you mean you were unable to get it installed? You can download an ISO from Microsoft here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO When installing I’d suggest putting the most basic version on (I.e...

Not sure why you would want to make it beep when locking, just annoying for everyone and can’t you hear the central locking engaging when setting anyway and lights flash so you have plenty of feedback that you lock it! Think most manufacturers stopped cars making a noice as its illegal in...

@Steve Wright That’s a great price. Yesterday cheapest around me was Sainsbury’s at £1.539/l so still just shy of £110 to fill up.

Well we all thought it, now it’s in black and white! The price of diesel fell by nearly 4p a litre in April but still remains at least 16p more expensive than it should be as it’s now 6p cheaper than petrol on the wholesale market RAC site [leaving LCC]

It’s huge, just compare it to the “football” in the photo! :)

@karl2000 Usually get most stuff from RT but as needed them quick as it’s my daily driver and the motorbikes are also off road at the moment got from eurocar parts.

Seized rear calliper, hadn’t noticed it going but by the time I did it was too late so new calliper, disks and pads both sides. At least it was a quick and easy job!

@kanya3 Will get to looking for them as soon as I can, but work has got in the way! Sorry, but I’m convinced I stashed them somewhere, so hope you can wait a few days for me to get to look for them.

@kanya3 I’ll take a look in the garage tomorrow as I’m sure I still have the ones I removed from my 120 when I installed some Daylight Running Lights into that location. If I can find them then you can have them.

Sad day indeed tony, but sometimes we all have to move on. :sleepy:

Been looking at them for a while but not yet taken the plunge, just a little concerned about the longevity of them but I guess you always have the originals to swap back in should the need arrive.

Welcome. I’m sure you will get lots of good advise from all on here who are more than willing to share their thoughts and experience. As always, we love photos: looking forward to seeing some and following your journey .

Still got my R reg CBR900RR Fireblade and love it. One of those vehicles that grab you and don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it
