Hi all
i have one small problem...
i recently loaned my 33 to my sister... with strict instructions to look after it! she did well UNTIL she forgot to lock the fuel cap and lost it on the way home... now i dont have a petrol cap... does anyone have a spare? are all the fuel cap keys the same or will i need a new key as well...
thanks. Joel

Also when i signed up on this page the colours turned really bad... i.e red with yellow writing thats really hard to read! how do i get it back to normal?

Can't help you with your petrol cap - sorry mate.

But the colors are easilly fixed.
At the top of the page, you should see a lot of lines, with stuff like "FAQ", "Search" etc. There should also be one labelled "Profile" - click this.
Go to the part that says "Preferences", find the "Board style", and set it to something else. Save the changes and it should be okay.

Hi

Think a new cap with key is about £15 in the UK, although they are not such good quality as they used to be.

All the best

Hi,

To what I know the spare parts dealers sell the cap + key to the price of 15€. You will then have two keys. Wink

If you want to have one key then you should replace the doors keyholes plus the ignition switch plus the fuel cap at aprice of 100€ Rolling Eyes

Regards,

My break fluid level keeps dropping... i have the levels topped about six months ago and the (!) indication is already starting to flash on and off is this normal? Suggestions? what fluid do i top it with?
Thanks again.
Joel

I have just acquired another 33 and the brake fluid was low. Investigation showed the clutch master was leaking. Stickyness around top of clutch pedal etc. Check this first.
Regards Eddie
