whoosh
yet another thing goes right over my head
anyone good on MS Lync?

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Done! Mwahahaha.
Tried tightening other bolts but the head of the bad one was too badly mangled, tried hammering a larger bit on but just couldn't get it in far enough even with a copper hammer. Wasn't wanting to proper hit it.
Drilled the head off and out it turned by finger tips.
All bled and done. Going to give it a quick bleed again tomorrow just to make sure.

Feel this deserves a separate post.
Thanks folks, genuinely appreciated.

Best get your tight fife arse in the bar and get the beers in....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I've moved it from the house to the garage mate... Getting there!
Your right though... Deep pockets and short arms. Although I won't be parking up in Glasgow.... Known for nabbing the sugar out your tea!

Christ I thought our Yorkshire lot were tight
Is it true that Hadrians wall is some form of northern wailing wall for all you closet Red Sea pedestrians?

So...
Looking at my clutch jet... I need a screwdriver to fit... Through a bit of googling I came up with two sizes, 4mm and 5.5mm. Anybody know which size screwdriver I'm needing? I'm leaning towards the 5.5mm.
