Could be worse, mine has to be done every two months. Luckily I don’t have to pay a garage to do it.

Nice!!

Id love to get my steering sorted.. It sits slightly 'rolled' to the left - does drive me mad!

But don't know where to begin... I guess I better get my face in the Haynes manual?! Or get to looking online for a solution.. Regards

About 36k p.a.

If your steering is off centre it might just be a case of the steering wheel being put on wrong or you may need to adjust the drag link.

It’s RAL Granite Grey in Matt finish. It is a synthetic enamel paint, so no laquer just a tough solid paint.

Popped along to the Caffeine and Machine Winter Weapons meet. So nice vehicles there to admire and a great atmosphere to enjoy too.

Replaced the straight through exhaust centre pipe after one of the mounting hangars decided it didn't want to be attached anymore.I will weld the offending item back on and keep as a spare. Thumbs Up
