    Aftermarket paddle shifter options

    I got a set of FD Carbon paddles 2nd hand, and reckon they are probably the best mod iv done. The length of them is so-much better than standard, and the weave matches the GS carbon perfectly. If there is a cheaper option out there, id say its well worth investing the time.

    (My!!) New Rosso Mondiale over Avorio Gransport

    Shouldnt be that long, where did you try? I have the big brake conversion and can confirm it is worth it, and that is with DS2500 pads. Great stopping power on the road, havnt tried them on track, as i dont see it a track car, but Spa is appealing, as its a fast track, so may suit the GS abit...

    Just as an update on the steering gaiters, the ones i suggested were an Ok fit, but were plastic not rubber. Still got me through an MOT which is the most important thing. I did some more research, and ended up with the below. Fitted both this evening and the fit is great, and being rubber...

    Hi all. So MOT day, and its failed on inner edge if front tyre being down to canvas, and a totally split boot for the steering rack. Had a look after some measurements, and it appears that if you can suffer an extra 20mm of length, (who wouldnt mind that), the boots for a Zafira B will fit...

    Oil tank plug threads

    There is a Damper place in Wales that have said they would be willing to work with me to develop some springs and dampers that would exceed what KW currently offer, so i need to get on the case with that. They are currently refurbing 2 sets of Nitron dampers for me for a different project

    Oil tank plug threads

    I did exactly this end of last year, but i got a cap and plug etc from Meridian Modena, as you say, not expensive but wonder why they could get one and you couldnt, stock maybe? Ross at Meridien did say that they were a common replacement item due to over tightening. The hardest bit was getting...

    All Things Coffee

    Iv seen alot of comments about the Niche not being as good for retention as they would have you believe. Just do abit of research before you take the plunge. Iv recently swapped from a Cuisineart Burr grinder to the Mignon, and its been a total game changer. Though i have seen the newer Mignon’s...

    Can you not just replace the actual thermostat without having to buy the housing?
