    Injector cleaner at MOT time

    Sorry lads my info was a bit minimalistic, I of course replaced the 2-1 section with the standard cat and according to the paperwork it failed on both low and fast idle emissions and it did also fail due to the conical seal to the back box having gone which I replaced prior to the re-test but it...

    Clutch question

Ireland it's done in govt. run test centres so there's zero chance of gettin someone to look the other way so to speak! So anyways what...

    Clutch question

    Ok lads appreciate the replies, I'll not bother with the flywheel then as I've never been one for sacrificing comfort particularly for minimal gains!

    Clutch question

    Alright guys, just a bit of advice on the clutch, I've done a search and the general consensus seems to be, to stick with the OEM unit, and I know Tom has said that they've certainly served him well at race level so there should be no problems regarding longevity and therein lies my problem...

    Ok Oma, if you check out my Help MOT failure thread all the details are on there but as I said I have one extra already done in red as the machine runs off two at a time so if you don't buy mine but go to the same place, you'll have to buy two as well!

    dc5s in northern ireland?

    I've just had to get a decal made up to illustrate KPH on my speedo to make it a dual clock which altho doesn't seem to be a problem on the mainland is rigidly enforced over here due to the fact that we annex the Republic, so anyways when I got mine done the machine actually runs off two, so if...
