It's one of those items that they say are "filled for life"  when the life of it is when it breaks !  :) as long as it's past warranty they don't really care.

Usually when a transmission locks like that (scrubbing tires etc) advice is to remove the rear propshaft and run it just driving the front wheels, else it'll start taking the CV joints at the wheels out too from torque windup.

Unless you drive round an equal number of left and right hand corners  ;D

Try bellengineering.co.uk they do new pumps, I have never used them but they are freelander specialists, I have a Freelander 2 myself, so I would be interested to see how you get on.

Talking of sealed for life........Did you hear about the guy who bought a very expensive new watch with a lifetime guarantee on the main spring. Five years later when he was wearing it the main spring broke with such force it slashed his wrist and he died.

That's probably covered under warranty.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Took advantage of the fine weather today.

Each of the bikes on an identical run.

South of Hereford towards Monmouth.

Photos taken just south of St Weonards on the A466.

Perfect bike road all the way to Chepstow.

  Hi John,
  I have a set of four new generator brushes for a Yamaha YCS1 that i no longer have, they should fit your RD200 as they are almost the same motor.
  PM me your address and i will send them to you, better you have them than leaving them in my will ;D

Thanks. But mine is the 125.
Different electrics.

I could advertise them on the AircooledRD forum. Or you could

Managed a couple of hours out this morning, combined with a trip to the Post Office and Hermes Drop Off Shop to get all my weekend ebay sales posted. Stopped off for breakfast in a local café. The back lanes on the Wolds are now getting very muddy what with farmers doing their work, so took the little go anywhere CD250u's.
