The Falco was off the road for a couple of days at the beginning of the week.
I bought the part I needed several weeks back - just hadn't found the time to fit it.
Anyway, Wednesday night I found the time stripped down the relevant parts, removed the old component, inserted the new, re-fitted 7 bolts to reassemble and jobs a goodun and the bike is back on the road.

and the part I had to fit ................................

.............. scroll down ................

Except with a different date and a different vehicle description.

Yeah - mine would fire up and if I had a track in my back garden it would have run fine too.

Will be fine until you get stopped and nicked for using a stolen tax disc from a Mondeo.

points out that the alad pimp mobile is a nice gas guzzling v8 beemer - but because it was registered before 2000 or when ever, it is normal tax rate.....

If you're looking second-hand, it's not that much - only if registered after 1st April this year.

Here's a link to the various rates:

£205 for a 1.8i MG-F!!! It does over 30mpg fer fecks sake and every emissions test for the MoT it's hardly chucking out anything nasty. I bet there's newer, dirtier cars with lower tax purely because they are newer. Robbing DVLA bastards! "Oh here are some people who can't afford to buy a newer car, let's take even more money off them for being poor"
C****.
