  • Peugeot Ludix Snake Oil lamp, brake?

    Hello, I have little idea about scooters, but I have an old Peugeot Ludix Snake standing around from an acquaintance and wondering if I can get it back in shape. After charging the battery, the scooter starts, but the oil lamp flashes in the instrument cluster. Is there something known here to fix the error? A short test drive showed that the scooter hardly comes from the spot, only with push I could drive a few meters, but the motor power was not enough to more al The scooter was standing around in the yard for at least 1 year in wind and weather. Can it be that the rear brake is jammed? How best to do this?

  • Looking for a car- cheap in maintenance and purchase

    Hi, I’m looking for a car for short distances. So take the children to school and kindergarten and sometimes to the city (incl. children). Emergency should also have 3 children (incl. child seat) at the back. I think of models like KIA Ceed, KIA Venga, HYUNDAI i30 etc. Hyundai and Kia I thought, since I am at Kia 7 years and Hyundai 5 years. Think the running costs are lower. Maybe I have also thought about a Dacia. Prerequisites for short distances. The car is: 1. Max. 10.000,- Euro (1-2 years old). So no new car 2. Emergency space for 3 child seats on the rear bench 3. Consumption in the city should be max. 6 liters 4. Price / power ratio should be very good. So a down-to-earth car Maybe you can also give me some tips on what else you should pay attention to with the “new” car. Which models can you suggest ont? Don’t necessarily have to be KIA, HYUNDAI or DACIA. Looking forward 🙂 Greeting TanCok

  • Processing of hand polish and wax

    Hello, after a lot of reading material here in the forum about the winter, I also ran in March, and my car was really brought to the fore. But I am not really satisfied with the result. Since the products I used here are considered to be good, I must have made mistakes with the application. Specifically, this is about the polish CG 1 Ultra Light Compound and the Collonite 476S. After the washing-washing-kneading-washing-drying I have the polish in klei The paint was slightly smoother, but not a single swirl went away, and I put light holograms into the paint. I was disappointed with the result. I was not able to get rid of the paint, but it was not a single swirl, and I was able to get some light holograms into the paint. Gen. Now for wax: During processing it was about 8-10 degrees. Application with Meg. Appl. Pad, removal with Cobra Super Plush Gold Already the application was heavy work. After I had applied the wax on the first surface much too thick, I wanted to apply it more sparingly. But easier said than done. I had to apply a lot of pressure and very often wipe over the same place until there was also a wax film everywhere. Then however, the shock: I had read here The wax removal with MFT is like dust wipes. Not so with me. Even worse than the order, even more pressure and also very often scrub over the same place until the slightly milky film was gone. I almost had my arms dropped I always worked on whole body surfaces, like a door, the bonnet, etc. I removed after a ventilation time of about 10 min. From the overall result I was also a weing released, although nicely glossed, but still far away from the WOW-Effek t… Now I’m thinking of rehearsing the whole procedure, but only if improvement is to be expected in terms of processing and result.I would be very grateful for criticism of my working methods (if it is also necessary for my products).I’ve also taken some pictures, where you can see how my Swirls look, and how thick I applied the wax, etc. If necessary I can still look them out.

  • Who can give me tips to mature?

    Hello, I have to buy my moped new matures! Now it’s the case that the matures have to be driven in so that the smear film is removed! Is it enough if you drive there completely normal? so not racing, but driving around the curves in driving school manner? Or is that very slippery? is there home remedies to remove the film faster? I heard about Schmirgelpapier, from brake cleaner (I don’t think it’s good for the mature) or a nice burnout in the dreck (I don’t really want to wear it off). would be nice if you can give a beginner like me a few tips….

  • Need large, comfortable, airy summer gloves

    We haven’t had such a thread this year, have we? No serious. I’m almost desperate. I ordered a few gloves in the net, Held Summerset. I thought at the company Held you can’t do anything wrong. Wrong thought. I couldn’t drive 50m with it, pain. Pain in the fingertips because the inner seams are really nice inward, like blunt plastic needles. Made in Pakistan. So I’m going to Polo and Hein. Meager selection, nasty optics, partly the same P This can’t be anywhere. Ordering gloves in rows in the net and sending them back again is too stupid for me. Louis only opens his holy halls on August 6th. So I need a few gloves, at least size 13, mainly black, something in the direction of fighter optics would be nice. So with protectors on the ankles. The most important thing, however, must be extremely airy. I always feel 10°C warmer than the average German. At 20° C, I’m starting to sweat, at 30°C the broth wien waterfall is running, and now let’s get your suggestions.

  • Facelift Accord and Tourer for early 2006

    Have you already seen the pictures of the 2006’er Accord (Facelift)? Supposedly to come in early next year (January). If the truth is true! Then I am glad that I have not yet fixed the contract and have not yet been decided. Finally a 6-speed gearbox for the diesel and a nicer shift knob cap (the old one is somehow hää). The roof railing at the tourer is getting longer (as with usual combos) and he has the chromed window borders, as with the limo. The tachofa rben (in the executive) change from yellow to blue with white numbers – looks really chic. The 2.0l petrol engine gets ESP (VSA), because here was a missing electr. accelerator the obstacle. The radiator grille gets a third chrome trim in the middle of the Honda brand sign. And the standard 16inch rims seem to have become prettier with a more spokes. Hopefully Honda has revised the chassis again and tuned a little better… (I can hope again) a lot Is it easy to give the diesel a particulate filter?http://www.lycos.de/…/…acelift-neue-kleider-und-drive-by-wire.html

  • 2013 E-Glide with 40,000 km

    Moin! I’m looking for an E-Glide Police, FLHTP, from year 2009. I found an offer with EZ 4/2013 with almost 40,000 km on the speedometer. I find amazing a lot. Must have been many long distances, which is quite good for the engine. How is that with the Twin-Cams: Shake the 40,000 km just out of the sleeve, or do you have to expect first wear-related repairs? I don’t have to have that, after all, costs a considerable Meng in the purchase e Money. Greetings, Jochen

  • Car repaired without consent ?

    Hello, after a driving accident I asked the workshop of my trust for an appointment to repair an accident damage according to previous estimate.. Car delivered in the workshop, then came a call, which the damage would now be roughly estimated at approx. € 8.000,00 and the employee for the creation of the KV would have preferred an expert with it … so evaluator ordered, who looked at the whole and then came a few days later the report .. the review he had stopped the car in stock exchanges and also recorded 3 offers of purchase in the report.. and also noted that from an economic point of view a repair does not constitute an obstacle… o.k. something thoughtful and then informed the highest bidder the acceptance of the purchase offer.. so far so good .. then called at the workshop and informed that the car is sold … what then came down to me… the car would have been almost finished repaired and can be picked up tomorrow… is this procedure of the workshop right ??? Can the vehicle be repaired without consent to the cost estimate ?? Is the phrase “date for repair .. already as order after previous KV? Do you have here possibly tips for me, how I should proceed now ? Thank you already in advance
