Further issues:

Speedo reads all over the place.

Starter solenoid failed - had to replace after getting advice from another thred in this forum (thanks guys).

Main headlights failed - replaced two bulbs.

Wiring failed on indicators (rain water in the connector blocks). Still dodgey.

Exhaust box rattles and buzzes, rivets are all loose and something inside rattles.

There is lots of noise from around the chain and front sprocket even though all seems tight. still not sure wher this is coming from.

Now I find that the two lugs on the rear engine mounts are cracked and broken so will need to get the frame welded. (Never been off-road or jumped speed humps or any other reason for this kind of damage on the frame.

In all I'm starting to lose faith!:)

Any ideas on the frame would be welcome. Is it likely a design fault? Do you think its worth getting welded or will it just break again?

Happy new year all.
