Getting a cylinder head replacement. Got the bike back Saturday and rode it on my commute today (44 mile round trip). The part/fitting took so long because of the meticulous attention to detail and care fitting it all, right?

They should replace that tyre for free, not only for the inconvenience caused but because its now knackered

Personally I would take a ton of photos and pop down to citizen advice and take them to task over it. That is alot of oil not just on the tire. I'm pretty sure if I attempted an oil change it wouldn't go that wrong!

Keep us upto date.
