Having recently fitted new gaskets to my rear light trims, I realised that the red reflectors were incorrect. I managed to track down some correct versions
Refresh of the cooling system plumbing on my Daimler SP250 (Dart). Reintroduced the heated manifold into the circuit and eliminated many of the joints in the orginal arrangement.
The drip tray of our Gaggia Brera began to fill up and it became apparent that the water tank was leaking. Quite an easy and cheap fix as it turned out.
This Brera is the 2014 and later, v2 model.
Having looked inside my engine it turns out to have been fitted with a 580cc Big Bore Kit.
Thanks to all on the B50.ORG forum for their help in identifying the modification.
My old (2007) PayPal dongle started to show a Low Battery warning, so I decided to have a go at changing the battery. Went OK except that I seem to have reset it so that it no longer displays authentication codes and is now useless. Maybe a faster battery swap would have worked(?)
I try to start up the Greeves every month or so, just to keep it 'alive'. This time it was to make a quick trip to post some letters. It's running really well :)
The instructions that came with my machine turned out to be plain wrong. This is the correct sequence. It applies to Brera machine from 2014 onward. My machine is from 2014, I wonder if it was shipped with the instructions from earlier machines(?)
In my experience these alarms don't live up to their claims. It seems that others find the same, e.g.https://youtu.be/TlZX8eocdgU
It turns out, though, that its relatively easy to get inside and replace the battery.
