I tried to delete the quote but it wouldn't let me delete the box? Bloody iPhone's!
Meatloaf how much did you pay for yours roughly?? There on Amazon for £130. Does that sound right?

Not to sure what's happening with reply as it's coming up in finnerz box? Anyway - il give the SMH10 a look! Cheers guys!

Did you check the piston and rings inside the bore before bolting it back together to make sure it was correct? Sounds silly but had it before on an old Mercades, the rings where faulty (crap quality I thought) so they wasn't creating a solid seal !
I'm assuming you've had a compression tester on it?

Check amazon dude, I got one for about £30, I think the brand is avantree. Sound quality for music isn't the best but for sat nav/the odd phone call its fine

Il have a look,
My only issue is I'm rather fussy about the earphone, the hard plastic ones get right on my nerves, my last one lasted all of 5 minutes before I pulled over and ripped it out! Cheers man!

Hi Harry, I have a Viper helmet, flip front and Bluetooth, works really well for me and quite cheap if you think £150 is cheap of course, on my second one now, wife bought me a new one at Christmas, other one is sitting in the cupboard upstairs. If you want my old one your more than welcome, nothing wrong with it no scratches and never been dropped, had it for 2 years but only wore it in the summer (yeah I know !!) In silver and has 2 very small holes drilled into the outer cover NOT the helmet to mount my camera. Oh yeah the size XL or 62cm if that helps, got a big head (urk!) been told that before not funny anymore ok? Otherwise I would suggest that you go try one, I find it really fits well.
This one RSV131 I think, my new one is the RSV151.RSV151
Hello slice,
thats the kind of money I was wanting to spend, I was more looking at getting something to 'clip' on to my helmet as i payed £450 for my helmet and haven't had it long! Thank you for the very kind offer though! There's so many Bluetooth kits about but I've always heard the Scala stuff is the best. Only problem is there are so many different ones it's a pain to figure out what one suits me best! Think I'm going to go with the Q1? Looks fairly decent for the money!

Their Best Buy was Interphone F5MC @ £199 (single)/ £339 (pair)
They also recommended:
Intaride D8 @ £138 / £269 and Interphone F3MC @ £110 / £180
I have a Scala G4 which I've had for about 8 years and would recommend (last time I looked the G9 was the latest so they might be reasonably priced)
Il take a look on the Internet and see if I can find there review! Cheers!

Hello guys,
im looking around for a Bluetooth headset, as I'm sick of having to use a pair of iPhone headphones!, I'm really confused as to what one to go for? Does anyone own one and can point me in the right direction? I don't want to be spending loads but would rather pay a little extra for a decent set!
Thanks in advance guys!

Jesus Christ, could you imagine being 2 up ! (Sickface)

Well, little update. After a lot of phone calls to the previous owner to get the old invoices for services done to back up the full Audi service history, I've managed to get a full engine rebuild and service for free!
hopefully they don't try and tell me it needs a new turbo or some other bullshite like that!
Well let you guys know what happens !

Well then... The ads are up, a free one on PistonHeads and a £14 basic one on MCN. Staying out of eBay for the moment, as it has a few similar bikes with rock bottom pricing.
Less than 24 hours passed and I got a text from MCN with some lady asking me to contact her by email. I did, then she proceeded to ask me redundant questions like why I'm selling, and told a sad story about not being able to view the bike, just being out of hospital, her phone being inactive, etc. I suspected a scam, so told her thanks and good luck with her search.
I think I'll give it a week and then go visit some dealers in my area. To be continued...
Let me guess, did they ask you to send it miles and miles away and they would Pay you once they received the bike?? lol

eBay is brilliant for selling, dont get me wrong but i sell a few vans,cars,number plates- you name it il sell it if it's worth it.
The one massive problem with eBay is if someone presses the buy it now button, or win the auction and don't turn up, your still lumped with the auction fees ect and trying to talk to eBay to resolve the problem is a massive pain in the arse. I've started to sway towards 'classified' ads or autotrader, so if someone's intrested they come to veiw the vehicle and you then do a deal rather then doing it online.
you also have an option on autotrader to stop sales calls before you list your contact details which is good.
Best of luck selling!

i ride to and from work everyday and I see the same people also commuting on there bikes, we always nod and sometimes the odd wave.
Had a play about with a guy on a wr400 a few weeks back on the way home. We 'nudged' at the round about and went different ways - was pretty cool!

White smoke could potentially be a bad head gasket, but with only 1K on the bike I very much doubt it, also since it only does it when it's cold it seems unlikely, on the other hand if it it is you can take it straight back to the dealer and they'll have to fix it since it's under warranty. with only being a year old.
I'd just top it up in the first instance and then key an eye on it. it's probably just burped a few times and the level has dropped.
Il see how it goes and if it does start getting low again, il pop into yamaha!

topped it up bang on max level so il check it out in 100 miles or so! Just weird how I've noticed this and had the Whitey colour smoke since new...
Dont fancy another trip back to Yamaha!

Hello everyone,
now, about 6 months ago I bought my wr125x brand new from Yamaha, since then I've done 1000mls, as I walked past my bike today at work I realised my coolant level was way below minimum. Now for a 65 plate bike with 1k on this doesn't seem right?
It's not leaking, but it does smoke on start up when cold? Faulty headgasket?
What do you guys make of this??
Cheers!!

I had to laugh...
Today I went for a weevride around my local area and stopped off at the petrol garage... As I walked in ( with my helmet still on), two other people in there looked at me rather weirdly with a smirk. I didn't think nothing off it and as I got home I pulled up whipped my helmet off to find fecking bird shite all over the back of my helmet...
No wonder they looked at me, bet they had a right laugh

It's neither burning it or leaving it down the road, which makes me very curious as to where the bloody hell its going!
The only thing I can think of is it has one of these stupid electric oil level sensors, i chucked it on the computer and it came up with no fault codes! Very weird, going into Audi next week for a check over, I would bring it in to the workshop, but feck me I'm at a dead end already with doing the timing chain cover, front wheel bearings, 4 new tyres, gearbox oil and a new drive shaft... My old seat, I drove that car for a year with blown headgasket and it never missed a beat, never spent a penny on it.
Bet that's a tin can now! New cars are ridiculously expensive to maintain/repair... Had a vw phaeton in a week ago, had to remove and send the gearbox off for recon, his bill was well over 1k... Stupid!

The 2.0TFSI engines built about 2008 to 2011 suffer from premature wear leading to increased oil consumption (there is a lot of information on Audi forums about it). Audi in the US have been taken to court over it but no such luck in the UK yet. If you have full service history you may have some entitlement to a repair by Audi, the first thing whey will insist on is an oil consumption test, the exact figures are out there on the net but I think if you use about a litre of oil in about 600 miles you have the fault. I work for a dealer, we had this problem with a trade in, the final repair bill was about £2500 (new pistons, rings and top end rebuild). We don't touch these with a bargepole now.
Best of luck with it.
Hello, I done fairly long drive last weekend, 320ish miles, then the past 2 weeks of work and back and I've done roughly a litre and a half of oil? So 400 miles in total roughly? I think il give the local Audi a call and see what they say, my last car, a 2004 golf 1.9tdi with well over 180k on the clock didn't do a drop of oil the whole time I owned It where as Ive properly given the car an oil service the last few weeks I've owned it!!
Thanks for the help!

Hello guys,
ive got a 2010 Audi A5 2.0tfsi,
does anybody own one? If they do, how much oil is yours going through? I know they suffer from sipping the oil slowly but mine seems to be chugging it down and is costing me a fortune topping it up every week! Considering going back to a golf 1.9tdi!!
ive checked for leaks ect and it does have a slight misting from the timing chain cover but I've re sealed with some rtv!
Any help is much appreciated! Cheers guys!

hi I'm new to this site and also this bike ,2008 r1
loving the bike despite my problem. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
my problem when I try to start the bike it wont start unless I use throttle, it will then start when It does however it wont idle unless I rev it to around 6k and then it will sit and idle fine. rides perfect no problem until you shut it off and try to start it again. then I have to just do the same again. any help will be greatly appreciated. many thanks
I'd say double check the idle and if no luck then check all fuel lines and injectors?
Let us know !

Heya,
Following a long episode of "needs must", I've been forced to get a 'licence to sit in traffic'.
After a few months of being a Named on the Mrs's car and putting over 10k miles on the work van (that being the 'needs must' part), I'm now in the market for a cage.So I'm shopping around for inshoo-rance and they all ask how long I've had my licence...
Do they mean when I got my 4-wheel category, or just in general?
I'd have thought the former, but since I have an accident to declare that occurred *before* I got the B-Cat, I'm wondering if it's actually the latter?Some ask if I have use of another car, while others actually ask if I have a bike too - Do they therefore factor in the years of trouble-free road experience I've had on the bike?
This is why I got a bike, with 6 points my insurance is well over 6k on most cars.
Not to mention what i got quoted for the golf I had.
im not too suprised though as Im still 18, my bike insurance is still just over 2k, but I guess this is payback for me being stupid and getting points!!
