What did you do to your Custom today?

[loot]

Ah there's something wrong with your van

Some ppl say they've had the tow bar connected direct and not used a relay, personally I think that's crazy but hell it takes all kinds but if it is a tramps jag you are using that has only cost 100 turnips then why the hell not.

[bigjohnthomas]

100 turnips its going to cost 175 turnips just to shift it to gay skull
i dont want to break it though ill try some of those optical relay things

vans been doing well really only that air sensor that got done under warranty gone wrong i think
it will be up to 90k miles by the end of the year too
there is obviously something very wrong with it
bloody ford

Started painting the brake callipers today. They need it too, look like they have been at the bottom of the sea.

Bit the bullet and bought some all season / winter tyres.

Michelin Agilis Crossclimate - look quite nice & chunky,

Don't seem to affect noise or fuel consumption - will see how they cope once it gets really cold / snowy and also how long they last for.

I've kept my part worn Conti Van contact tyres incase I need to swap back in the summer

I have these fitted to my transit and have found them to be really good. Hardly noticed any change in road noise and the consumption is just the same as it was .

Took the camper to the dealers to look at the diagnostic fault store , so I put the little classic bike in the back so I could wheel it out and carry on to the office.

Still got to do a test with the big 1000cc sport bike in the back, but the little one was very stable.

Let’s hope they can work out why I get an intermittent service light and power loss about one every 2 weeks.

Drum rear brake makes me think KH125? Brings back memories of my youth, I had an RD80LC!

Spot on, kh125 from 1976, it's hard not to feel like a teenager when I ride it

On the motorway ... Squeak squeezing
Turned the radio up
Squeak squeek even louder
Driver faster turn radio up

120 miles later I thought had better have a look
Back off side wheel bloody hot the overs just warm
After another 120 miles it's back at gay skull
And in the fixing pile
