Given the number of bits he's just changed it's 99% certain he'd left something unplugged ... or knocked loose .. :)

Always my first port of call now... Seems that the plastic clip gets a little too flexible sometimes when "making progress" and the slightest touch can pop it off :-X ::)

Not ever had any pop off by themselves. Actually, they fight coming off TBH.

My trouble is remembering to plug them back in ;D

Nothing useful... but did break my three legged puller trying to separate the driveshaft from the hub flange :o

Tomorrow will be spent trying to clean up the thread in order to get the hub nut back on pending a much better puller ::)

Abandoned it somewhere in MK.

Sadly, I suspect it will still be there on my return :(


Disconnected battery on Bullet, looks like something isn't switching off :(

Havn't touched it for a week and had to move it today and discovered the front nearside tyre was flat.  :(

Pumped it up and thought about sticking it on ebay........  :-\

You won't get much for a front near side tyre on eBay, I'm afraid, pumped up or not.
