Is the AX available in 1000cc petrol?

Yes , about 92% of ones left in uk are petrol .... but I like diesel (here we agree to differ) , and would prefer not to comment on Electric (sorry Moggy)

Add on to existing classic policy? I don't actually have one at present ....but was able to add it to existing policy on a temporary basis. 90 days for a 68 premium ....so still expensive but 4 times cheaper than previously quoted. Normally anything over 26 yrs old is not allowed , but their system...

I just had renewals on our daily diesel and motorhome with no significant increases on either. 100 mpg sounds a bit unrealistic. Both of my 1.5 dci's can just about stretch to 65 or 70 in summer with a light-footed motorway run, both less than £300 to insure Try looking world record mpg production ...

Tried to get insurance for my new "Toy" (part of my aim to to get 100 mpg out of a standard road car) When the first quote (car valued at £1900 , and 1000 miles / yr limit) came in at over £1,000 ... I thought ... you're having a laugh, then the next one appeared ... a snip at £1,241 !! Wh...

Not ex rally - actually on ex Agnew demonstrator (NI Porsche dealer) ... but , driven hard on occasion ...... cough ..............

Interesting : Never seen or heard of one breaking like this before. Original does not look rotten , which would be usual cause of replacement , I was just telling Shelia of your woes yesterday , and said I thought you might be out of action for quite a while , as this was a major repair job. I think...

All the best

Yes , they did !

Now sold Just on the off chance that this might suit someone here. It's probably NOT the sort of car one would normally go looking for , but I hate the thought of a car I have known personally for the majority of it's life ... go to "waste" so to speak. It's a good one and has been loved s...

I had the same issue - quote up 48%. (Direct line) - told them I was a year older , more experience , less risk , years extra no claims , and the car was worth less - so +48% was NOT going to fly .... Period !!. Renewal quote came down about 15% immediately. No good I said ... "we" need to...

castrol b373 is answer

Don't ask me why exactly ... but I think it's a terrible idea ! (shudder at the thought of it in a defender manual too .................)

Happy days ..... try riding this one (with permission of course)

or

sometimes it's easier to ask for forgivness than permission .............. hmmmmm

If you look hard enough there is plenty on the internet. Exploded parts diagrams , which are just as good as a manual for where bits go in what order......... https://en.impex-jp.com/catalogs/moto/yamaha/yb-1/5je3-2001-silver-3-19421.html https://japan.webike.net/YAMAHA/YB-1/748/m-spec/ https://www...

At least that one is easy to answer ... just use a good quality 2 stroke oil !!!. Fizzy one is probably as close as you are going to get .... it's mostly common sense anyway.

Yes , market a bit mad. How many of these "buyers" have ACTUALLY ridden a FS1E ??? ............ there were, and are, relatively terrible ! £5 grand for a "good one". There are still bargains out these if you hunt ... I bought a high miles Honda ST1300 last week , 2007 for well b...
