The Pan is back...

<sig left in[1]>

I noticed when I read the rest of the thread. It could be your end or
their end, and I've had enough of diagnosing and fixing this type of
problem at work in the last month.

[1]I only get trouble with your sig, but as I've not been using Xana
for that long I don't know where the problem lies.

 

Mark Olson was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

That's what I'll do this afternoon. Fortunately the rear one on the
Pan is adjustable (the front one isn't) so I should be able to get
away with this. One might consider using the rear brake on a Pan
anyway unless one wants to make a big fuckoff hole in the scenery, BTW.

Actually I'll sort this out myself now, can't be arsed to chase the
garage again. I'm just getting annoyed when I see the bloke behind the
counter write down the instructions to fix a certain problem just to
hear from the other bloke that he can't find any record of it.

I mean, if you work on the brakes on somebody else's bike it does
sound like a good idea to me if you check that *everything* is working
afterwards.

But maybe that's just me.

 

Andy Bonwick was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

That's what's going to happen this afternoon, at least for the rear
brake.

Ability actually wasn't the problem here, more a continous annoyance
that people I was paying a wedge of my hard-earned weren't very good
at following any instructions. Be it which phone number to call to
talk to me, or fixing certain things...

 

Timo Geusch was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Right, now I'm fucking livid, I am.

When this mob put the bike through the MOT the tester advised them
that the front brakelight switch must be dodgy because it seemed to
suffer from an intermittent failure. They talked him into a 'pass' as
the rear one was working and told me I needed a new switch which they
were supposed to fit, see above.

They clearly hadn't even bothered to check if the switch was
furbar'd. A quick check with a multimeter confirmed that it was
switching as it was supposed to, moving the brake lever produced the
expected 'clicks' so the fault couldn't be the switch. Turns out that
one of the connectors on the cable must've been caught in something
and was slightly bent. And not connected to the fucking switch. A bit
of contact cleaner removed all the dirt that had accumulated in the
connector's rubber boot and a careful shove pushed it back onto the
switch.

Of course, it's working perfectly well.

Oh, and they've removed the fucking tag for the work carpark
*again*. The first time I collected the bike I thought I'd lost the
tag and put it somewhere 'safe'. From which it has
disappeared. Arse. That'll be some more grovelling tomorrow so they
actually let me into the carpark.

Remind me again why I'm paying someone to fix my bike?

The world's turned upside down.

Because it's yours, and therefore broken.
