Gear Box Oil
Hi, guys. I would like some views/opinions on the following. My Series 2 is due a gearbox oil change. There was an article in October's Scootering mag about gearbox oil and what it should look like. I drained a sample from mine and it's pretty black, which it's always been every time I've changed it...

Re: Horn
Back in the day(1970s), air horns used to be all the rage. Does no-one use them these days?

Lambretta Workshops In The Northwest.
Zootscoot in Warrington shutdown last year(Geoff decided it was time to retire).
Does anyone know of places in the Liverpool/Manchester area that do Lambretta servicing/repairs/spares etc?

Re: Checking Torque Settings
Interesting. Is that with standard Lambretta cylinders and heads, or "special" ones?However, the fundamental cure for head leakage is to eliminate the weak link. I have not used head gaskets since the early 70's & will not do so again.

Checking Torque Settings
Just replaced my head gasket and torqued the cylinder head nuts to the correct torque.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that they should be checked after a certain milage. Is this right and if so after how many miles?

Re: Torque Wrench
Thanks guys. I'll need one in the 20Nm range for the cylinder head nuts.

New Head Gasket
My head gasket blew on my Series 2 during a ride the other day. Seems a simple enough job, but these simple jobs have a habit of not being simple.
Any hints and tips to keep it simple?
One question. It's had a stage 4 175 conversion. What gasket do I need? A TV 175 perhaps??
