Julius Czar Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Bought a non running van for £100, owner suspected a failed fuel pump so he wanted rid of it as he'd found a replacement, and it was taking up space etc. Had a quick google, found that the symptoms he described could've been down to dry solder joins in the ecu. Found a service on eBay where they'll refurb the Ecu for just £40, so I took a chance and sent it off. A week later it returns, I fit it up and put a new battery on it and it fires up with no problems at all! Put it through an mot and it passed, then got a deal on some alloys with as new tyres for just £50 off of a mate. Gave it a quick mop to brighten up the dull paint, got the interior Valeted and upgraded the sound system with some spare speakers and a sub I had laying around. Now I have a new daily which looks fairly presentable and is great on fuel, and it only cost me around £300 to get on the road! Happy days 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Just booked my first ever actual holiday as an adult (as in nothing to do with bikes or holiday with parents). Will feel weird without a bike but it's a 5 star all inclusive adults only trip to Kos with Jane (found a deal at 58% off and including flights and transfers) so should be good! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I am back! After having one of the (if not The) most difficult part of my life, I am in a situation where I know myself better than ever, and I am getting happier with myself as time goes on Also some pretty awesome shit happened: -Spent 2 Weeks in LA -Had a hot Spanish friend with benefits - found a job in Leeds for my industrial placement! Thing is, I will be in a situation of buying a car shortly, so I was looking for a group of friendly people to talk about car stuff, so I just came back 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 A little before and after of that cheap road bike I bought. Just fitted new wheels (£10!!) and tyres. Polished up all the chrome, removed the horrible sticker, adjusted the gears and brakes and got a new cassette. Maiden voyage is this weekend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 So, that bike I posted up there... It's quite fun, but the gears are awful and brakes are non-existent haha. I kept it in one gear most of the time, as it's a bit clicky in most of them. Even in the lightest gear, hills are a no-go. I need to look at a different set up for gears, or I might just make it SS. It is a fun bike though, so different to my chunky Jekyll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too damn right, to the hills it is, and don't be guilted by any of those cries of "Be a real man and take responsibility!". 36 minutes ago, J.KYDD said: S'all good.
