gone

Free old exposure enduro maxx in some working order. It turns on/off all 4 settings and holds a decent charge still but it's just starting flickering when on rough roads mostly just the top one of the 3 bulbs but sometimes the whole thing so i guess just a loose connection. The back is meant to be push fit but i can't get into it to fix it. The wedge that fits the clamp is a little worn and rattles in the mount but one layer of electrical tape stops that and reduces the flickering lower tyre pressures also help but i was using this on my winter road bike with 70-80 psi so I've just bought a new lamp. If you shake it its fine as are big bumps only rough road buzz makes it do this. It would work perfectly well as a torch or if you could mount it to a helmet. If you think you can do something with it i can post it for £4:50 or free collected/delivered Brighton area. No mount or charger and it uses the older jack style charger not USB

I'll try fix it!

If your prepared to spend longer than the 10 mins i did huffing and puffing then I'm sure this is a pretty straight forward fix once your inside. It always looks so easy on the Internet 🙄

Haha! Yeah, maybe its just part of getting older and changing mind set but I've really started to absolutely fucking hate binning things that seems so close to being repaired!

Dull story but the remote for my pretty wanky high end Canadian hifi amp broke recently. Its almost neo-vintage and the remote clearly has less than $2 worth of electronics in it, local hifi dealer wanted over £100 for a replacement. Cunts.
Fixed it my self and left it left me with an an enormous sense of well being... Parklife!

Now keen to try fix fucked any garmins and gadgets etc

All yours knock yourself out 👍

There's a weird primal satisfaction in fixing things DIY.
Our washing machine gave the ghost a year ago and repairmen are practically conmen (150,- analysis beg your pardon?!). An hour later with some googling I ordered a heating element to give it a whirl. Three days later it arrived and half an hour spent on my back with my head in the back of a washing machine and the fecker worked again. Felt incredible!

Ha! An odd vivid childhood memory I have is my mum needing a new washing machine when it broke and I came home one day to find two of my uncles in the hallway with the washing machine completely dismantled - drum out, a million different parts laid out on the floor, they put it back together again repaired and working again for at least another ten odd years! Even at that young age, it blew my mind that they knew how to do this stuff. It would have been the late eighties/early nineties way before google instructions where a thing!
Same thing with my other uncle having the entire engine out his car in his garage with only a Haynes manual! Different times eh.
