Took my little X9 for a spin in sunny Argyle today. Lucky it's so flick-able as you have to dodge some lovely pot holes ! Still good fun though. :P

Funny how that happens isn't it :)
Remind me, Is it 2 counties for "tesco - long way round" and 3 counties for "didn't have the one I need", 4 counties for "I know I haven't seen your mother for ages dear but its urgent"

Used my new brake bleeding kit to clean out the front master cylinder and refresh the fluid.

Now easy to do, but not without that little issue that always happens just when I think it's all going so well.

Not sure it's made any difference, but I know and feel better for it!

yep a lot easier with the kit... just got to watch out for the squirt from the master cylinder when you initially pull the lever :lol: :lol: :lol:

Would appreciate any advice where I can get (cheaply) two new reservoir screws as one in particular is chewing up very nicely.

Pretty sure they're, by and large, universal with some pretty weird exceptions checking Google. Struggling to find anyone listing just the two stubby countersunk screws.

Failed to change the headlight bulb. I have loads of different type of bulbs, H4s, H7s, some odd ones from Jap import cars etc but the Liberty has a bulb I've never seen before, although it looks like they are quite common on Scoots. Tis a BA20D H1. Every days a school day...
