    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am cutting my teeth on a non starting/running (yet) 30 year old girl I hope to be using for work come spring.

Still not managed to track down the proper model yet as the year on the V5 doesn't really match the info I have looked at.

I have some hand me down tools, some advice from a couple of spanner handy mates and of course this site.

Both brakes are seized so its a pig to move and when I hit the starter button nothing happens (yet), got a mechanic mate coming over to take a look on Saturday and see if we can get her to turn over, so hopefully we can track down where the problem is before too long.

Then it will be a case of sorting the airbox and refitting it to the carbs and all those little jobs in the cracking greeting page and of course sorting the damn brakes.

But the seat and the paint work are pretty good for the age and for the amount of money I have paid for it I am more than happy.
