Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

Re: Two wheels good.

I've just fitted a new TPS on my GSX14. That should cure the rough spot at low throttle openings which made her a pain in the arse to ride sensibly around town etc. Only the third time I've replaced one on that bike, 30k before I expected too as the last ones lasted about 70k miles each. Mind you kn...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

I just find that the arches are so far into the footwells I have to sit facing the radio as there's no room for my left leg otherwise. I drove a 7esque kit car for years so maybe that's why the tight footwell didn't register? I drove that to work wearing rigger boots and have got size 10 feet. It's...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

One for Eddie Rainman I think... I'm trying to source driver's door leccy window switches for a Daihatsu Terios. The car is an '05 but I suspect '04 model because I can find '05 switches and they look wrong. Trying to find these... IMG-20240514-WA0007.jpg I had a look at the Parkers price guide rev...
