Was going to work on the miggy today but her in doors wanted the decking jet blasted, so what she wants she gets. The tinnitus is quiet enough without her nagging ;D ;D ;D

Can sort you some out (also have a faulty door solenoid as well) so can drop some off when next passing.
Cheers Mr VXL :y

What some switches to refurb the motor?   And you've reminded me, I need to change one in the Bullet that's gone a bit lazy  :-[

I was using TBE last week, as she was away (and can't drive anyway), because the A/C works.

Looking at the history I have, it's never been regassed in 13yrs :o

The SB's first failure was probably about 12yrs in, needing a regas. Sadly, a couple of years ago when Mrs TB refused to drive he inferior FL, the compressor let go quite badly, and I've never bothered to resolve it, given that I think its now on borrowed time  :'(

Washed, polished, cleaned interior of my 2.5 to get it ready to sell. I will miss the old girl after approx. 5 years of ownership and a lot of effort to get it (mostly) up to the spec I wanted.
