The biggest problem these days is the fact that even more people are getting computers in the home and so most evenings when nothing good on the telly the computer gets a bashing and the SP's get swamped , it was never like this when i first went on line in the early nineties mind you computers where not as fast back then damn slow in fact . Mike

Nice job done eh , you are certainly in the right place for bike rideing so ride safe and watch out for those plonkers in cars Everyone should have a bike to ride ,(i've got 3 ) should be made compulsory before you are allowed anywhere near a car . Mike

Im with Virgin too , but this seems to happen in the early evening and been happening quite a lot just lately . I you want the best download speed you have to go to bed very late or get up very early , i've found the best time is around 2-5 am , insomnia has its upside . Mike

Yes i have been having the same problem , a right royal pain in the bum too . Mike

Nice one , pleased for you , you lucky sot , go enjoy and get loads of Pics . Mike

FWIW here are some tank sender resistances not a full list of all though . If anyone has some more please post them and will add to my list . Empty Full All resistance reading approximate . 240 -- 33 ohm aftermarket gauges ISSPRO , STW etc US Standard 0 -- 90 AC type gauges (GM) 78 -- 10 FORD or Chrysler US 0 -- 30 OAC match ( old GM ) 10 -- 180 VDO match responce ETB , European Standard 340 -- 30 Ford UK Sierra etc 260 -- 20 early Smiths , Some ETB , Ford 1982-1986 Sierra Mike

I too have seen worse and would be very happy with those results . Mike

Good result , roll on thursday Eh and keep your socks on !. Mike

Well done Ian . 2 RHOCaR for me please Ian ,yes interested, can they do 2 sided without the leather bit, rhocar on one gbs on the other? Make that 2 g*ts Mike

Its down to your sender unit working the wrong way round for your gauges , if you have the ford unit you can alter the float arm by swaping it to the other side of the resistor block by either bending it back on itself and lengthening the arm or cutting it off and soldering it back on the to the rod in the opposite direction after lengthening the arm so that it will then read empty when empty & full when full , jobs a good un , I hope you understand this as its getting late and im tired . Also another problem with doing his depends on you having enough room in the tank for the float to swing in the opposite direction , if this happens another cheat is to unsolder the top fuel pipe and turn through 180 then float is back to the same side as before . Mike

As Bob rightly said add springs at the carb that way if throttle cable brakes your carbs will shut off , as you certainly dont want it the other way round . Mike

Peter is it something to do with the meniscus Mike

Hi , Would these be any good to you http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-CORTINA-MK-3-4-...1QQcmdZViewItem Mike

I had the same problem some while back on an old Porsche that the engine had to turn over at x amount of revs before the fuel pump relay kicked in , so i fitted a push button switch to operate the relay to prime the fuel sytem first and then always started first time . Mike

Only Robin minus the batman So if ROBIN wants a hood post office does em Your not wrong Ian , same as last year , nothing changes only the cost !! DVLA dont do hoods only Robins !! Mike

Would one of these be any good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...n%3D4%26ps%3D42 Mike

Hell's bell's your not kidding , at that rate it will soon be time to take out a mortgage or sell a few organs !!!!! All ready sold the wife into slavery many moons ago . Mike

Hi Mitch , I spoke to Ian earlier on this subject and he has a bike fuel pump fitted so that should be ok , he is now looking into a couple of other things , so i hope he manages to sort it out . Mike

Thats the price of pleasure Mike

Indubitably . Mike

Why oh why is it that the DVLA licensing computers Printer cant string two Proper names together on a piece of paper costing me £185 , or are they on a ink cost cutting excercise , EUREKA programmer not paid enough , the mark not known in India ! Ill have to find my John Bull printing set and put it right AGAIN Mike

OH not another mod to add to the todo list !!!!

I think that there may well be a lesson to be learnt here !! Or drop a few to the Taliban with a sticker saying "Point At Plane To Jam Radar " Mike

They work for me , even the quoted link . Mike

If you plan to fit one early in your build then you wont waist any battery cables , as you will need longer cables to go through the bulkhead to the switch , i think i got my cables from Premier together with the quick release battery terminals and crimped cable ends , a one shot got the lot . Mike
