My First 850

[Jamest5r]

Thats an offer I certainly wouldnt refuse James cheers. I need to meet up with you and smithy to head to the campsite saturday as I am dropping off Richards tickets and picking up the banner.

I am free all week mate If you want help getting the motor finished Ill come down, would be nice to get out the house... I have nothing to repair now the 850 is off the road.

I could bring a boot load of spares

Not a problem, the water leak shoud'nt be too much of a problem it's the non starting that is puzzling the crap out of me.

Im guessing that's your text ive just got? as my gsd decided to have a chomp on my phone ive lost all numbers...not good but went to 3 and they gave me an htc thingy as i was due an upgrade by luck but ive got no bloody idea how to use it lol.

Sorry for the Hijack Sam put your complaint to a mod

Will need to complain to a proper mod Sam sorry

Excellent! Yes I did just send a text.

Seriously though if you do want help after work friday or whenever just ask, we'll have it working... I bet you!

I would go along electrical lines if its cracking... have many spares I can haul down for "trial and error" until it fires up.

Had to panic a little there thought I was going to get an earful for going off-topic... (remember to get a thread in the project section Sam).

You would have to tell me you where an electrician now wouldnt you! I spent most of today wiring the extension at my folks house and could have done with some guidance in certain area's... nevermind finished now **tut tut**

ha ha! I can go off topic on this thread! pmsl

well now you know and by the way, if you needed guidance, you shouldn't be doing it!!!
I think and hope your a guy who does things properly, so fingers crossed.
you have my number for future events

Who said I wasnt a qualified electrician seeking a fellow specialists advice in a diffifult situation?

Electrics are my thing JT, I have always been good with the stuff that goes bang in the wet.

If a jobs worth doing its worth doing properly, thats what I say mate.

Simple job really putting a new ring in for lighting in a three room dormer extension.

as we say:" red to red,black to black, blue to bits "
thats the polite version! lol


ok, if you have an understanding of it, I'll breath a sigh of relief.

You make it sound hard? Its only a series of coloured wires and im Colourblind! Anyone with a multi-meter and a basic understanding of ohms law should be able to wire anything in series or parallel... these blooming electricians get away with charging a fortune, hence the need to learn.

Nothing against you personally Johnny, your a decent guy but why can electricians never quote you a price inclusive of VAT? lol

er..... cos its a buisness/trade??? and obviously aslong as they are VAT reg?

I will agree house bashing (as we call it) is easy,hard work,but easy.
I normally do comercial/industrial work,so big stuff really,415v etc etc.
basically if you get it wrong, it aint pretty and it ****ing well hurts! trust me! lol



ps,having said that, I could not work in the services though, my full respect to anyone who does!!

[pigfight]

thats a very tidy looking motor, well done for the find, as everyones already said, it'l look awsome with titans and the r spoilers.
especially like the plate by the way.... 'DOH'....class man.

Just remember volts hurt... amps kill

I too have maximum respect for those in the services... unfortunately I dont class myself as one of those! If you see what we do you probably wouldnt either!!!

Excellent, look forward to seeing Mrs Clancy and the kids.

Smithy??? Eh, not working nights... does this man ever stop?

Well with the chuckle brothers on the case not sure I need attend

Eibach are pretty damn good, had them on my last R (Which has stiffer springs anyway) and they give a really good ride.

[AndysR]

Clicked on the link thinking that perhaps, after what seemed to be a fair number of posts, the R bumper was fitted and possibly more and what do I find... Chat about electrics or some other bum rubbish! Guy's you owe me 5 minutes of my time! lol

[JT]

a starwars link is tempting, but i wont bother lol
