When I broke my electronic key (a Reanault Clio) a few years ago (about eight, actually), I went to the local renault dealership and they had to take the metal key part form the old one and put it into a new fob, which they then had to programme for my car, all for the princely sum of 130 quid When they quoted me the price I asked for a simple plastic one that I could just use as a key and do away with the central locking, but they said that they no longer made those or something. With hindsight, going to the Renault dealer was a mistake, as they're always more expensive. A quick Google search for "replacement electronic car keys turned up a few places that do it, like this place in Southport, so I guess it won't be to hard to find somewhere near you that offers a similar service at lower prices than your local Peugeot dealership would. I hope you manage to get it sorted without getting stung for too much!

Hi Kevin - great news! Be good to see you and the boys again No probs about the website stuff - just give me whatever you have and we can discuss it further on the day. See you then

I'll be there - really looking forward to it! One of my favourite venues!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean there... but cheers anyway.

Presumably if you watch the video your question will be answered with some form of list...

Cheers. The article was meant more as a vehicle for the pictures than as a great work of literature anyway

It's not in Dirt or Ride Magazine, which you have to pay for. It's on a free online magazine that Jérome basically runs by himself, for no profit, alongside his job and other projects (which are taking up a lot of his time at the moment), so I think we can excuse him/us the odd article that doesn't quite come up to your standards.

I've just been through it again, and apart from a few typos that were my fault, and have now been corrected, I can't say I agree with you. You can't please everybody though I suppose.

That's right. Why do you ask?

As far as I know, this isn't going to be a DVD, but another web video like Reasons To Be 1-4.

I've heard Orphans before, but not given it a 'proper' listen. That sounds like a good plan though - I'll put it into action this evening!

Although I agree with you that he definitley gets better with age, Closing Time is my firm favourite. I like Bone Machine a lot and Nighthawks gets regular plays as well, if that counts? I've not actually listened to Orphans that much, and I don't own a copy - need to get hold of that I reckon!

True, although I've never seen you and Nick (my old housemate) in the same room, and he does now live in London, so you never know... Yeah - looking forward to the new album for sure. Thinking of postponing my birthday for a week so someone can get me it.

Sorry JD(og). No Googling here, big fan. I also used to live with The Biggest Tom Waits Fan in the WorldTM.

Tom Waits?

Jack Carthy in Antwerp - Among the spectators at the Antwerp World Cup, fresh from his Youth Games victory, was a certain Jack Carthy. After the final had finished he took his Sky 2 and tried out some of the Elite sections... It was an incredible ’after show’ that those that saw it will not forget in a hurry!

This sounds like a great idea - I'll be very interested to see how it develops!

RadFest 2011 and British Trials Cup Round 3 - Finally got round to doing the write-up for this! The first trials festival to be held in the South of England took place at Barrow Farm Trials and Jump Centre in Essex on the 22nd-24th July. It was a fantastic event, with contests, a speed trial, trade stands and a round of the British Trials Cup. Here’s a full report and photos from the weekend.

Men. Tal. Great work!

It looks like your frame has tensioners 'built in' to the dropouts. Where the red arrows ar eon the image below, are there holes drilled through with a grub screw in? If so, when you 'itghten' that, it should push into the dropout, pushing the axle back and thus tensioning the chain. At leats that's the way it looks top me from your photo. No idea why it's different form the 'actual' 2011 dropouts pictured though...

Just got a text from Robin Morewood. Adam Morewood has just won the Spanish round of the BIU World Championship, meaning he's won the overall championship! Poussin World Champion 2011 - well done Adam!!!

Erm... what?

Fantastic results from all three of them! It was a great weekend for UK trials! Cheers for the text updates - best of luck for the BIU this weekend!
