    Battery drain

    Sorry! so many posts! :p Now I've not really an idea what I'm doing, there is obviously more demand compared to doors closed & properly locked and its certainly half a job as there are other fuses I've not tested. However if anyone has any experience with what I found please let me know: With...

    Replacing crankshaft position sensor & thermostat... anything else?

    While I (or someone with better tools) replaces the crankshaft sensor & thermostat are there any other 'bits' (sensors I'm guessing) worth replacing while I'm at it? Going to do those two & maybe get rid of the occasional no start when hot

    Sport mode benefits with non sport suspension

    I’m sure the title will attract a few groans but despite searching the forum I’ve not found a definitive answer … Always drive in sport, obviously, but with uk roads in such ridiculous condition I’d like the softer suspension setting… can it be done?

    GS Died on the diveway

    All seemingly well & was serviced & checked by Shiltech last week. Drove home from work just 4 miles & the car died at my gate. The electrics all seem to work & turns over well but just wont start. Feels a bit like the footbrake is on, no power steering - but guess this because engine not...

    GS Sport mode memory

    Hi - my GS seemed to always stay in sport mode but possibly since cold weather it reverts to non-sport overnight - yet leaving work after a few hours it remains in sport.... nothing else odd (at the moment) Any ideas?

    Paintwork Tidy

    After the engine bay the paint needed 'nipping up' along with flakey brake calipers & rusty wheel bosses. There was an awful respray of one of the sexy rear arches yet once I took the car to autofinisher he found all sorts of scratches, dents & dings... So not cheap in the end. BUT looks ace...

    UK GS H pipe

    A surprised new UK GS owner...

    Hi all... While getting my regular dose of car **** and clicking on an email from a UK online auction house I accidentally got drawn in. I'd also had a drink or maybe two. I've been in this situation before and it's very dangerous... With only 6 minutes to go I very impulsively clicked a button...
