  1. Working in a Giant/Specialized dealer nearly every bike we have comes with a juicy of some description and a good percentage of them feel crap upon leaving the shop but when they come back for a free service they all feel great. Seem to just take a while to firm up in the lever.

    Same happened to the juicy fives on my sx trail and if I dont ride it for a few weeks it pulls further to the bar again but firms up within a few miles.

  2. Right ho. My passat 1.8 20v started turning into a diesel today lol ... it won't really rev past 4k takes ages to rev round even without car in gear. It is idleing grand and below 4k pulls like it always did. Is it proper f**ked?

  3. I love trials forum because it has brought on the sport of trials in Northern Ireland I believe, it has gave us insight into what products are good back in the day and how big riders over the UK are going etc. Different techniques that we might not have found in such a small scene!

  4. does this include northern ireland in it, cos quite frankly i find it hard to believe thats theres more white irish than there is asian people in britain.although suppose it is 16 years out of date, and if it includes northern ireland, then that white irish figure seems stupid low.

    We're British!! lol When in the mainland I get called a 'Paddy' is that racism? :rolleyes:

  5. Hello, not much posted from me in a while. Hopefully that will all change now.

    Started off by cleaning my boss' van at the end of last week. He was looking to sell it and just wanting it to be red and the interior cleaned. Stickers he wasn't prepared to pay anyone to remove :rolleyes:

    Started off by giving it a rince down with the pressure washer followed by a coating of CG's Maxi Suds. After this I washed it with a lambs wool mitt and some megs #00 (which I found to be pretty good first time using it).

    After this I give it a claying which smoothed the paint a good bit. Gave it a quick wash again with #00.

    I masked up and tested some megs #80 with a sonus white enhance pad which proved to be what I was after (not major swirl removal just getting oxidised paint back to life). :buffer:

    That is graffiti on it haha

    The van was then given a coat of harlys wax and buffed off with nice new mf's.

    Wheels with Elite (Northern Ireland not the one on here) wheel cleaner and tyres with megs endurance. Trim with Gold class trim detailer as I had loads left lol.

    Interior vacumed with Karcher wet and dry jobbie. Seats cleaned with Elite (NI again) upholstery cleaner and a soft brush then wet vacced out. Trim floor and doors cleaned with Megs APC then dressed with armourall matt wipes.

    Closest seat done other one not

    Next was my dads car, he has been layed up for the last few months with a month in hospital with burns to his feet and skin graft etc. Thought since it won't be long until he is up and about again I would give his car the once over. Just a quick one (well thats how it started out).

    Pretty much same steps as the Vav only it required some Menz PG with a LC Cutting pad followed by Menz IP with a SFX Enhance pad. Finished with Collinite. (got playing with vaccing wee lines haha)

  6. Underneath, there’s Alpina-tuned suspension, and under the bonnet a larger Garrett turbocharger and intercooler, bigger injectors and reprogrammed engine management. Together they raise the output of the 2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel from 161bhp to 197bhp. That’s a pretty remarkable figure for a 2-litre diesel, though as with all diesels it’s less than half the story. Torque swells by 51lb ft to an extremely pumped-up 302lb ft at just 2000rpm.

    Afraid Not
