General Discussion Area / Re: Soldering Iron

« on: 27 February 2010, 14:43:11 »

Totally agree on the Weller thing, having said that I do have an old RS Plastic Gas solder iron in the tool box, been with me for about 20 years now, still going strong, not sure if I'ld want rewire a Bike with it though.

As with all irons and their tips though, dont forget to use them with a wet sponge, tips will maintain there shape and last a lot longer. 

Nothing so drastic, just making an aux power lead to run from the ciggy connection under the seat to my tank bag 

Probably work fine then Tunnie, as said before no subsitute for a Weller but a handy addition to the tool box, use my RS gas one a least once a week, mainly RF Connecters, still has the original Tip.

Have bought a few Gas ones since then (different models) but didn't last 5 mins. So my old fav orange one comes highly recommended.

As the title says just how rare are they?

There does seem to be a few more preface around than facelift,but i beleive the facelift manual was only available to police,if im wrong someone will be along to correct me.

They where arround, more common on the early Facelift retail spec MV6's.

General Discussion Area / Re: Anyone on here flown with Kuwait Airlines?

« on: 21 February 2010, 20:34:13 »

I have flown kuwait air and they're not bad..... I wouldn't say excellent in the back but comfortable enough for 16 hours.  If you can afford it though go emirates.  Good service, nice food and the dollies..... :p

Thanks for that the Kuwait one was coming cheapest at £335 return, Emirates is going to be about £488 so a bit different, although might be worth paying for?, I dont know. Qatar Airways is come up about £530 Ive flown with them, really good.

Decisions, Decisions.

Hmm, see though glass, lots of bubles, blue lights, hot water, it sounds quite facinating for young children to play with when your backs turned.

General Discussion Area / Re: Facelift MV6 alloy wheels - whats a good price ?

« on: 17 February 2010, 21:25:34 »

Theres two types of MV6 Facelift wheels post 2000 Facelift and the the very late Facelift. The early FL are starting to get a bit rarer now, but Ive picked up sets in the past for anything between 100 to 200 quid. The later MV6 ones where shared with the late Elite's and the Sports models so more chances of getting those, again Ive paid 80 quid upwards for set.

« on: 15 February 2010, 17:15:19 »

I must confess... I've been looking into options to boost the signal in my area after hearing about this. It seems I can buy a kit for £200+ which will boost the mobile signal (outside has a reasonable signal, just inside which suffers) and "broadcast" it into the house

Alternatively there has been some success in using a couple of TV aerials, one pointed towards the mast and one pointing downwards inside the loft space) linked with some coax. I'm a bit sceptical

Any thoughts from the experts? :-?

Not sure about the TV Aerials bit but a few years back I installed on a Pub, in the middle of no where, a 9db GSM Colinear Antenna on top of 6m mast, run some Andrew Heliax from the chimney stack down to inside the Pub which was then terminated with a small simple GSM Dipole in the Pub corner, with some suprisingly good results (Voda and O2 only though).
