    My parents bought us the Full travel system from MotherCare for our now eldest child, it cost around £1800 brand new back in 2016. It moved to Cyprus and back and survived a second child. As we were living in Cyprus the car seat had a sheepskin cover on it for most of the time (it only ever...

    I'm not sure, may have been a stone or something stuck between the fan blade and the radiator fins. All i know is that it was stuck... i poked it really hard with a screwdriver and then it wasn't :D

    Those who garage your motorbike, do you use an indoor cover?

    Definitely wish i did cover it over winter. Turns out the garage i got allocated last year has terrible condensation during the winter months. condensation dripped all over the bike causing mould to form all over the leather seat :mad: Cannot wait to get back to my house this year to a garage...

    Yeah this is definitely something i'll be doing from now on. There's space in the fuse box for x2 spares which are inevitably missing. I've got a box of blade fuses but they're all standard and not the mini ones. :( I also need to get hold of some 'Stubby' 12v 21w lamps as the ones in mine...

    When the motor tried to turn and it met resistance, it then tried to draw more current to force it to turn. In this case it drew so much current it blew the 10 Amp fuse.

    Sooooo... I fixed my Radiator Fan!!! After it decided to pour coolant all over the MOT testers station it turned out the Fan Motor was seized causing the bike to over heat. I eventually found 5 minutes to play with it and managed to free it up... left the bike to get to temp but still nothing...

    I think Lecerc took the brunt of it. By the looks of it, He pulled it up originally. Hamilton went over it but avoided any damage then Lecerc went back over it and came off worse.
