Could you coat the piping black after?
It would maintain a somewhat standard look.

Dont Get Tired of your project, keep pushing on and it'll all be worth it!

I'm just disgusted that my pipe broke and I will end up having to buy a new one or make that steel one up, time I haven't got!

Fancy that time I haven't got...!

Can you get it repaired?

Or is there a need to make up a fancy one to replace the old one you've used for years?

Ive only had the pipe on since Sunday

Its badly melted, i have silicone pipe to collect later but I'm unsure if that will cure it

YbFocus wrote: »

Badly melted? What happened?

Are you using the silicone to bridge the gap?

What are you modding?

Turns out that the pipe had moved and wasn't seated right, thus the gap created caused the pipe to collapse in :eek:

Ah its only an auld diesel engine I'm rooting with

Had a similar issue with the Verso here. The rubber pipe going from air filter housing to the turbo wasn't seated properly on the rim of the turbo. Basically it meant the air filter was hardly being used. I'm surprised it didn't throw any DTCs with the MAF being on the piping

Every d4d breaks that pipe, usually just at the top of the turbo, a c*nt of a thing

So here I sit, in my car, as I eat my highly nutritious mc ribwich and kfc whatchamacarcass burrito. I do this everyday as I enjoy the radio (I like to sing along to daft punks get lucky and change the words to "were out to rub a mexican monkey") in my lavish interior, full of dust, rust and a lack of trust as I'm missing a support bar

Sadly, not so desired radio broadcasts may time and again make an appearance while im atein my lunchables. Like that awful load of offal by florida (ITS FLORIDA YOU BERK) you know it "i dont know the words so i just go rubs hands like farmer baby, puts on flat cap and starts mimicking the tripe in a caaaavan accent"

Today, something diverted my attention away from the naff, tinkling ad on the radio for souper valu. Whom should i see only Biddy in her new 131 cn PEW JOE 208! With that all to familiar look of terror "jayyyypers mary, were in the biiiig shmoke hai! We betther be careful, dont want to meet any of them car jackets or mobile salesmen!" The traditional bowl haircut, head shaped like a beaker and a look of fred flinstone. You know the type, they look at the camera with a semi surprised look in their hand me down tommy hilfigger striped shirt, taken at a slightly jaunty 18 degree angle....

Biddy didn't look very comfortable in her conversation with mary in the passenger seat. Biddly looked like she was trying to direct hungry cattle out a gap into the parlour, with a coffee cup. Except she actually had a coffee cup in her hand. Perhaps she thinks its one of them swivvell yokes for the shteerin hai?

Biddy was far too engrossed in her local vernacular to notice a bin bag in her path. Without further thinking, her snap reactions led her to brake and swerve like synchronised swimming. Her fast reactions saved her car and the vulnerable bin bag from a 9mph road traffic accident. However, biddys fast reactions were her pitfall, where she suddenly jumped all 28 stones of her onto the accelerometer pedal, in turn sending the car into an accelerated state thus firing the contents of her cold coffee cup all over her. Further actions redeemed her, by suddenly jolting on the land anchors, only to recoil in anguish at the gloop that now covered her frivolous red face.

It's good, but it's not quite Carling

Wouldn't you be disgusted if this happened to you and theres a fancy pigeon looking on, laughing like a cat on catnip!!!

That just broke my brain.

Just wondering how difficult it is. My impression is that everyone on a bike seems to be part of some big happy community and everyone loves everyone else?

Yeah, that'd be the GHA - Gay Hells Angels :pac:

Did you do the test and such for the bike, or are you just one of those hoodlum youngfellas!? :P

Not seeing many bikers rowing over stuff in the searches im doing and even in real life they seem to be all be very pally with waves to each other and nods of acknowledgement... So I'm just wondering how hard the test itself may be! :P

We are a peaceful tribe of tree-dwelling, quiche-eating creatures. We mean no harm, except to tyres and rev-limiters. They can go and fcuk themselves. :cool:

More seriously, I've been riding bikes since about 1988 and did the test in 1992 on a little Suzuki GP100, thus gaining a full A1 license, limiting me to 125cc or less. I held that for two years, working away with a provisional, as was the done thing in those days, until about 2002. I eventually did the category A test in 2010 on a rather tidy Honda CB250. I did a pre-test session with a well-known instructor, knowing full well that a gravel-arsed old road dog such as myself hadn't a hope of passing the modern test without some guidance. As for the test difficultly, I'd say it's about on par with that for cars.

What bulb is this guys? They're behind the dash in the focus. Where can I get them and are they expensive feckers?

Looks like a little white LED. You can pick 'em up in the likes of Maplins for pence.

For those of us in the sticks please...... :pac:

I take it a motor factors would have them?

Just thought they'd be one of them yokes you'd think is cheap, but turn out to be like a 5er a piece!

Looks the same as a parking bulb?

It's all your fault for looking at Biddy!
