It seems like you've probably been looking at a DVLA guidelines document. That's not the law, here's the law: First, the Highway Act 1835 bans all motorised vehicles from being used in public places unless specifically permitted. Second, the Type Approval of two and three wheeled motor...

Yes, those motor leads are very fiddly, glad its ok now. .

Yes it is the 1/8" on the original Panasonic unit. 3/32" Derailleur chain sits too high on the chainwheel teeth, riding on the shoulders. .

I used to, but am over the age where I get it free anyway. .

I did hear of the LWB version but never saw one Tom. I also knew of that Italian award but disagreed. After all, they also gave the 1960s Karman Ghia Volkswagen an award, showing how too much of the vino could affect judgement. I thought the 75's pinched in end looked like a copy from...

In that case fully tighten the left hand outer wheel nut first, then tighten the right hand wheel nut. That should register the spindle fully into the motor shell and take out any side to side play. Let me know if that gets rid of the side play. .

Yes, you need a sensorless one if it's only a three wire motor. Most controllers are the 8 wire type, 3 phase connections and 5 Hall sensor connectors. .

No, don't touch the cassette. It's the inner spindle nut against the l/h side of the alloy motor housing. First loosen the wheel nuts quite a lot. Then tighten the inner spindle nut that's up against the alloy housing on the left side to make sure the spindle is fully pulled to that side as...

I like the stretched shape more than the English original, it almost has a limousine look about it. The one thing I wasn't keen on with the original saloon was the rather pinched in shape of the boot rear outline. .

You won't be able to run it to test it without a controller. That's because these motors only have the three phase windings and no way of distributing current to them to drive them in a sequence. In that respect they are incomplete and not yet motors, only becoming motors when partnered with a...

I echo all of this, and I'm particuarly annoyed by the way the politicians and broadcasters are trying to foist DAB on us with completely false claims of superior quality. DAB is accoustic sacrilege, far inferior to FM. .

Apart from the one boy we know of who has been killed, they are somewhat less controllable than the Segways which have caused accidents and deaths. The concern is as much or more for the people they run into, rather than the user, in particular the elderly who can't hop quickly out of the way...

Not only that, Amazon are being amazingly fair. Without being asked they've been contacting buyers of their hoverboards with a full refund and not requiring return. Instead they are asking them to destroy their hoverboard in the interests of safety. One at least of their most recent buyers...

And the nuclear deterrent greatly increases our risks anyway. Having the nuclear weapons to attack a much larger enemy would prompt them to make a first strike anyway to incapacitate us first. Not having the weapons ensures they wouldn't waste capacity to attack us. The great majority of the...

I'm of the same opinion. Basically it was a BMW supervised design and has the K series engine which was designed under Honda's stewardship of the company. That's a pretty good heritage for any mid sized car. .

I agree with Duncan's suggestion of a rim brake behind the fork. A caliper brake would need no special fitments and that rear position is the most logical for the thrust to be being taken by the fork. The very successful original Kalkhoff Agattu had it's front brake mounted that way. .

Almost, but I'd leave out space exploration. That's a luxury we don't deserve before attending to your other items. I'd also prefer to amend your "feeding the hungry" into greater world-wide equality, in other words giving it greater scope. .

My Sony has the full range of RCA sockets and a Toslink optical connection, but no S video connector. Plus four HDMI and three USB. .

Buying mine at high price but going direct to Sony for a 15% discount, at the same time I got them to throw in a five year warranty to close the deal. I don't usually bother with extended warranties and certainly wouldn't pay for one, but with the new tech of 4K I thought that safest. .

No, I don't use the onboard internet software other than for updates, since it's very slow acting. I have three recorders attached though. There's an old Panasonic Freeview disc DVD and HDD recorder that I keep just for DVDs. To that I added originally a Humax two tuner satellite HDD recorder...
