Got the T8 back now after the oil has been tested and Carls had a good look round and ride it.The oil test showed no major faults
slight trace of brass,possibly valve guide and seal wear after 25000 miles,but other wise it seems ok.There is slight play in the clutch bearing,but nothing major so weather permiting I'm going to try and get out on it the weekend with Rooney and Dodgy and ride it at it's normal pace
This may sound stupid(yes I know I sound stupid all the time!)but when I noticed it I was wearing different kit ie goves,corduro etc and trundling home nackered from the BMF at considerably less rpm than I normally ride.So it could be a case of "Stupid Sparkin"
but if thats the case it`s a lot cheaper!!
