Indeed. Banghead

Won't happen again, guaranteed.

On a plus side, it gave me the chance to follow MoMo home, to see if she was riding straight on the road, with no nasty wobbles etc.

When she came to the first set of lights, i noticed the brake lights didn't come on. rubschin:
This was repeated all the way home, so I got MM to check the lights for me while i pressed the pedal.
They came on, but only under fairly high pressure.
Non adjustable

New switch (£5.50) now on order, and a doddle to fit...alledgedly/hopefully. whistle:

He was supposed to ring me on Wednesday after he'd rung the dodgy mot garage up to let me know what was said.
Needless to say.............. whistle:

Meanwhile, 5 mot's are going to be required on the GROWLER fleet over the next 9 months, @£35 each.
I make that a cool £175 that WON'T be heading his way now. Finger:

Took her in to get the wheel balancing checked today.
All of them were out, especially one, but more worringly, the back n/s wheel is slightly twisted (not visible on the car).
Not dangerously so, but could well be the reason for the vibration, so a brand new wheel is going to be sourced this weekend hopefully.

Meanwhile, whilst sitting in the waiting room, I noticed one of the grease monkeys taking piccies of MoMo. lol:
She's a right ole attention seeking mare. cloud9:

Indeed it is, but i was just wondering would it be of any actual benefit to put a performance fuel into a slightly non performance powered mowta?
