Terry, I would like to join such a group also. I replaced new brake lines, seals, boots on the front brakes on my Opel Manta GTE exclusive, prior to putting it through MOT. My new project is rebuilding/restoring an 85 Honda Big Red 200cc ATC. Barry will be telling me off for being OT, sorry Barry, so contact me off list for a further chinwag!

I've already rebuilt a 1974 MGB GT, which included fitting the engine, ancillaries, interior, front rear screen etc etc. However, this latest project I'm working on had even less parts on it to begin with than my previous car. I get lots of help over the internet and via email through different sites and a really good pal in the West Midlands, but very occasionally information/advice given can get lost in translation. I'd either like to find fellow blind car enthusiasts, or even try to locate someone near me who could provide some useful eyes whilst I learn how to replace brake cylinders and shoes. I appreciate it may be a bit of a strange request to the list, however, it is blind access related.

As suggested yeh turn it on 10 15 minutes before you start your journey or even put it on charge an hour or so with the unit turned on before as well which might help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Quarmby" <david.quarmby@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 2:38 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: the trekker breeze > Hi Will, > one suggestion is to turn it on 5 or 10 minutes before you start your > journey.
