Whats that power loss thinggy again?

Hello helpful peeps Me again, only contributing when I need something :wink: I've owned my 1098cc traveller since age 17 (20 years) but the days of daily use are passed. Wasn't always the way - have MOT papers showing I covered 26,500 miles one year - and replaced worn king pins at both tests due to...

Thanks guys. I replaced the seal in the cylinder, bled the system, but it still leaks :x . So I see original cylinders selling for £25, pattern ones for a tenner (prices from ESM spares). The ol' girl only does around 500 miles p.a, so I'm thinking pattern parts might do....any last thoughts on that?

I can't see anything similar in the bra...

Thanks all! It was the fuse holder, really corroded. Took it apart and cleaned it all up, and the resulting noise from the new horn made&nbsp;me bang my head o&shy;n the door frame - never sounded so good. Welding done today and so hopefully back o&shy;n the road this weekend. <BR><BR>

Horn time again (MOT)

I have moved and my local garage seems unwilling to accept my longstanding promise to fix the horn on my traveller in order to pass MOT :( Tried all sorts at weekend, including new horn, but to no avail. Interested to read this works of same fuse as interior light - which has also gone. Can someone ...
