Fiamma bike rack reflector board in France?

Off to la belle France in a few weeks. Was wondering if anybody knew whether the red/white bike rack hazard board is mandatory yet in France? My understanding was it was only so in Italy (curious how Fiamma happen to be an Italian company) and that other countries (inc France) had not made them mand...

Re: Exhaust studs

Thanks for all your tips people! Sounds like the freezing spray is the way to go. I can't really see how banging a tapered file tang into a parallel hole is any better than an Ezi-out, they're both tapered, so will wedge the stud in the hole, and they're both likely to break and leave a nasty remnan...

Exhaust studs

Read most of the posts on this topic, but not seen anything which answers this question... Does anybody make/know of a jig/drill guide for drilling out snapped off exhaust studs? The Porsche community obviously have similar problems to us lot and I've seen guides available which bolt onto the good s...

Hmm, don't think it's the usual "too low idle speed" problem. Most of the time it runs really sweetly, nice stable idle. It's just this occasional packing up that's the problem. Is there some kind of vent or breather hole in the carb float bowl or tank which might be clogging up? I tried r...

I think I might change the pump anyway (that's if I can find one that fits - the GSF one had both inlet and outlet in line with each other and they clashed with the breather chimney). But under load (e.g. climbing 1:4 hills on Dartmoor) there was no problem at all - that's the weird thing. I'll chec...

It's not because you've ripped the dash apart to sell the blue circuit board to some dodgy bloke, is it?

Intermittent conking out - any ideas?

Here's a conundrum... Every so often my T25 (DG 1.9 carburettor) engine just stops. Then, after waiting 10-15 minutes, it will restart, and carry on as if nothing had happened. It usually happens after some kind of lifting off on the pedal (e.g. coming up to a roundabout or set of traffic lights aft...
