I Finally Got One

[pso-buzz]

Thank you. 

I do have a small problem.  The pod doesn't always work but if I push the red connector in the back it lights up.

What is the correct procedure for cleaning this up or replacing it?

Thanks

Hi there Simon what I do is to use some emery cloth on the contacts pins . Then spray a little contact cleaner in the cable connector and on the pins... bye Chas

Hey thanks Lance

Thanks also for the chat we had prior to me purchasing one.  I took as much advice as I could and made sure all the important items were included.

If I can find a way of transporting it to Heaton Park maybe we could meet up for a spin one weekend.

Thank you

Hello All

Right I have got my C5 into the position I need to store it in. I know its probably not ideal but it's the best I can do with the space I have.

Can anyone tell me if I am going to do any damage to it, is anything going to de-form or mis-shape. Its kind of resting on its boot on a door mat to stop it getting scratched.

Is this ok?



Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

whatever you do always remove the battery when parking in this position, unless you happen to have a 100% sealed battery. If the battery is not sealed you can expect a heap of trouble.

I second what Karl has just said.

You shouldn't experience any problems with parking it like that as long as the battery is removed, unelss of course it is a 100% sealed one.

Thank you

Battery is definitely removed!

Hi there it looks great I don't think you will have any problems with the C5 as it is

But watch out for the chair falling down on the C5 ...bye Chas

Hey Chas you're slowing down theses days, it took you from 9:52 till 6:37 to figure that one out.

Hiya Lance

Not to sure, I have a few problems to overcome first!

I am still running on the original tyres, I don't think they have been used much but are so old I am not sure they are safe??  I am debating buying some of the city jets before they go out of stock.

I am running on the original battery, not sure it will have a range to get around Heaton Park, I have a C5 Alive wiring kit but I am wondering if I should keep the key switch and buy a compatible battery.  If I do this I am not sure how the plastic cover fits as the original battery has screwed bars coming out of the terminals.

I am not confident to ride the C5 on the roads yet to Heaton Park and I don't have a car that it will fit in!

Also I think I need to grease everything before a big run, when I go around  right hand corner I get a squeaking noise, I am presuming that the bearings need greasing on the off side wheel?

I am not sure if I should just go for the strip down and re-grease everything after painting the frame and building back up.

Any help on any of the above is always welcome from anyone!!

Simon
