My thoughts exactly.

Cheers for that Was thinking of changing the cambelt anyway just to be on the safe side, like you say cheaper than a new engine.

Thanks for the replies I was thinking of getting the dispatch (or peugeot/fiat version) but I thought it'd be a fair bit more to pay initialy for the van and then to run it. However I have seen these vans with 250,000miles and still going strong, not sure how long Berlingo's live for? Unfortunantly I wont be getting an HDI model of either van as my budget is about

I'm thinking of buying a Citroen Berlingo but have read that they can be prone to electrical problems, has anyone had this with their van?. If it's something trivial like the clock not working I'm not too bothered but if it's anything thing to do with these bloody engine management systems I'd be a bit more concerned. Also does anyone know what MPG you get from the 1.9diesel (I'm on a budget so I'm not getting owt fancy like an HDI) Any other problems with the van? Cheers in advance for any help

Depends on your test centre and what deals they offer but would pressume not although I would imagine it to be cheaper if you did Suppose my own bike'd do as long as it met the legal requirements. Thanks a lot, Rob

Do you have to take your own bike? Cheers Rob

So what's the actual procedure then? I assume it's similar to a car test in that you'll have to do theory (which they're making even more bloody expensive from September!) and then a pratical test. Wishful thinking but I don't suppose you can ride a a bike on a car license like you can with a tractor (with width and trailer restrictions)?

Actually.... I've been offered an old TY125 as a project. No wait, I'm serious. That might put the fun back into things If you really want a TY125 as a project you can have mine for next to nowt!

Aye the post confused me a bit but it was the attached 'computers for dummies guide' that helped

Cheers Thats cleared things up a bit. Very helpfull

I've just bought a new laptop and it's got Movie Maker on so I've being having a play about with it and have got stuck on a few things; When I try to put audio files on (i.e music) from a CD I get a message saying that it won't let me because it's protected by digital rights management or something like that Is it possible to adjust the balance between music and he video clip halfway through the video?. Any help appreciated, Rob

Haven't spoken to Lampkins. A bit surprised they haven't come up with a solution. move it side to side when it starts without choke or with choke on (and screaming it's head off). I can live with the bike doing this it's just that I might be selling it soon so it'd be better to have it sorted if possible. cheers for the replies so far.

I've had the same problem with my Beta 125cc 2006 for ages now. What happens is that you start the bike up normally (i.e. choke on, no throttle) and then when it fires up it SCREAMS it's head off so you have to quickly flick off the choke then feather it to keep it running. It's not the tickover speed cos the tickover has to be wound in as the bike warms up to keep it running (I normally turn it down after every ride to try and limit how much the bike revs up on startup). The bike had the Beta race kit and Boyesen reeds fitted but I recentley put the standard bits back on and still have the same problem. The boyesens made the bike run rich but I'd assume the revving problem was caused by getting too much air in. The airbox to carb rubber is in perfect condition (i.e. no splits) as is the inlet rubber. Air filter's fine too. If anyone could help me suss out what's causing the problem that'd be great cos it scares the **** out of me that if I don't flick off the choke quick enough it'll start revving and not stop, like a previous bike I had (very scary). Getting the problem sorted is mainly for the sake of my health Cheers in advance for any help, Rob

Cheers
