  1. 16, Male, Living in Newbury/Berkshire, starting in the RAF as an Aircraft Engineer in August (f*ck yeh!), currently ride a beaten-up DT50 which is not the fastest of the lot but gets me from A-to-B and is more comfy than any of these other peeshooters. also like to go fishing, camping and fly/build model aircraft (aswell as planting them... not so fun :\)
  2. yeh, im going thursday and friday for my pre-entry training... have to arrive between 0830 and 1030 hours, its only in Aylesbury and i can get the DT there without too much drama, jsut have to set off a bit earlier in the morning than i usually do
  3. will do mate, is it a tough job to remove the whole shaft and replace it?, would i need to take the clutch and all that other stuff off or is it a case of undoing a few bolts and sliding it out?
  4. as long as she's gentle i dont mind
  5. 'cus then i wouldt be able to move the shaft, lol
  6. now that's a plan, ive got a mate with a welder, will have a word with him tomorrow and see what he says also, i think the oil seal is letting go because oil is starting to seep out along the shaft, would this affect the welding?
  7. can't see that working dave, there isnt enough clearence to get the rubber in between the shaft and selector, it only seems to be when shifting up that the lever doesnt have enough grip to overcome the pull of the return spring and skips a spline, then when you push the lever down to try and centre it the bl**dy thing drops a gear ¬¬
  8. may be able to drill through the shaft and selector, but that sounds like a big job and i dont have a lot of time to do it, i have got very basic hand tools; a set of spanners and sockets, a few screwdrivers and a hammer,
  9. when Goff sees you calling her names, there'll be trouble ...time to go into hideing... bye...
  10. got a bit of a problem, and i cant post this in the wanted section because im not a paying member (i was going to get around to it, honest!). anyhoo, coming through town today i noticed my gear lever wasn't centering when i changed gear, and after a short while it didnt change at all, i managed to get it home and on further inspection revealed that the splines had worn down with only the innermost splines remaining. so... does anyone have a spare gearchange shaft for a DT50MX they could donate or sell to me cheap? i've filed down the gear lever to allow the bolt to clamp it tighter on to the shaft and that should get me to RAF Halton on thursday but i dont know how long it will hold out. ive got a fiver, maybe six and that wont get me a brand new replacement lever
  11. if i cant ride it or eat it, i dont want it looks nice though, kinda cartooney with those little eyes and long nose XD

    you gonna get it, yankee boy... , if i ever catch ye' on my land again!
  18. may be easier to bumpstart it, check for spark, compression, fuel getting into the chamber e.t.c and ask your most athletic mate to push you down the road on it
  19. and promptly be ejected from the store, such behaviour will not be tolerated by most employees, they will probably be even more so reluctant to help you. trust me, i worked at Currys. by all means go pay the dealer a visit and speak to the highest authority you can get to and ask them why it is taking so long, use the emails as proof that they said the work would be done by a certain time and still has not been completed
  20. you being the exception someone should really write a scottish dictionary,
