Interesting read -much that i may need shortly-

HowEver I have in 'raptor' stock a pack of them there seals for the rear brembo - having bought a replacement caliper the first time i melted the seals I thought it circumspect to acquire 'em

so as it's a pack of five sets, and i hopefully won't need all of them, stock is stock, if needed gizza shout

Still no start Howard. I'm still waiting for a new stater relay from Scooter Assasins and I'm away on my holidays today for a couple of weeks so it'll have to wait till I'm back. Blinkey has offered a few potential things to look at if the relay & new battery don't do the job

Give me a mechanical problem every time.....................god how I hate electrics!! :smt013

They are cheap and mine came pretty quickly, only about 3 days I think, not bad from China!
Hope it sorts it for you.

Has China spread its borders to take over the West Country :smt017

I must keep more up to date with world events.

I think you'll find Scooter Assassins are agents bringing them in from Taiwan, (as you show), and some stuff comes direct.

P.S. I think you will find that China took over Brum and Coventry, where we used to make the stuff, (not the West Country).
