Swap you?

Mike I wouldn't bother buying Redline for the V11 engine in the UK. It is very expensive here. It's no doubt relatively cheaper buying it in USA, plus their oils are different anyway (generally worse) hence the American recommendations for Redline. As it happens, I did order some Redline for the gearbox yesterday, but only a small amount to see what it's like. The rest of the big order that I made was for top quality European oil. I think you'd be better doing that. There is no shortage of high quality Euro oils and they'll probably all be better speced than most of the American oils. The European oils have different formulations and a lot retained higher levels of the protective elements that the Americans are referring to. There is no need for hair pulling concern. You'll not go wrong with most of what is available in the UK. Look at the Opie site as someone said at the beginning, particularly as they have a sale on.

Now that this event is confirmed and accommodation booked, I have started a new thread for information. Ulster 2 new thread here

you're bang on with that (sic)

Excellent. That's great Gary.

There is something very wrong about that, but I'm not quite sure what it is.

Jaap if that is a reply to my post, then yes, that would be great thanks.

I thought you might say that.

When I originally enquired, there was lots of space available. I asked for 15 to 20 beds to be pencilled in for me, as I didn't know what amount of interest there would be. I called at the Hostel this afternoon. There have been a lot of bookings in the past week and now there is not much space left and the single and double rooms have gone.. There's probably enough left though. I have paid a deposit to book the rest of the beds, apart from one 6-bed room – and I'll book that in the next week if it looks like we'll need it. The Camping Barn has been booked by someone else, but a good amount of the Hostel was being held for me, so what I have now booked is: In the Hostel 2 x Family Rooms – double & 2 singles (bunks) 1 x Double Room 2 x 4 Bed Rooms 2 x 6 Bed Rooms All rooms are en-suite. It is self-catering. There is another 6 bed room that I could book. They are buying a nearby Bed and Breakfast, so there will be rooms available there for over-spill, or people who would prefer B&B. There are other guest houses in the village and I also saw one that has camping. The point is, accommodation should be booked as soon as possible. I have paid the deposit, so let me know if you want to book a bed. You don't need to contact the Hostel. You can make payment when you arrive. The Waller family (California combo containing family of 5) will require one of the family rooms, I guess. It is a great location.

Unfortunately not. I was out today and my hands were frozen. I think there may be an extra connector in the Norge for accessories, so perhaps it is present in the Breva and Sport as well. I doubt that there would be a 'control'. But I don't know. There are one or two(?) free connectors under the Griso seat. At least one supplies 12V. However these aren't for accessories, but for diagnostics. I don't see why your dealer can't just add a connector and a fuse into the loom. I'd need to check the wiring diagram to see what's where: but I'm sure someone else will answer with some facts.

DL, I think that PR was being facetious, ironic,

I'll see if I can get a run up to the place tomorrow, to clarify how it would work and check what's what with the facilities.

Well no, the importer hasn't said that 10/40 semi is ok. However I'm arguing that the effect of their attitude is that they have authorised it, even if they are wrong. The Dealer uses it, perhaps because he is careless and he just uses the one barrel for everything that passes through the workshop. The Importer endorses whatever the Dealer does, perhaps because he is just careless too. It doesn't make them right. It doesn't mean that the bike is being looked after properly. But it's not my choice to use that oil and if the MG guys don't listen to me, then they can't refuse Warranty on the basis that the wrong oil has been used?

The price I was told is £14 per person per night for a Single The Double is £30 so it would be £15 per person per night. Maybe it is only the double rooms that are en-suite? I will find out. If I made a group booking, everything would be £13 per person.
