Esdebe (Simon), Bit of advice on the electrical front, and anyone else if they know the answer. Sender unit for old Tim oil pressure gauge got dented when I took the engine out to replace the gearbox. Bought a new set of plasma gauges. Oil pressure gauge rises to 20psi as soon as ignition is...

Coming home from the show at Newark the small rubber hose between the water pump and cylinder head split and dumped the coolant. After an hour I managed to force a piece of hose from the header tank into place and this got me home ok. I then ordered two replacement hoses from Mini Spares, one...

Simon, I asked you at Newark, but have forgotten the answer so can I please ask again where you got your Panniers from and how much were they. Many thanks Alan T.

Simon, At Newark you mentioned a differant supplier of the above to that previously mentioned which is were I think you bought Alan (Phaeton's) unit from. What was their name please, if you have a link to a website even better. Many thanks Alan T.
