Re: iPhone iOS update today to 10.3

Re: Unknown 2 inch piece of Rubber??

Is it a piece of foam that is used as protection during transit, when new, stuck to a part of bodywork, to be removed by the supplying dealer (as used on brand new cars, stuck on door edges) possibly dropped by a technician when doing the pdi inspection

Re: BMW 49 litre Top Box Case for sale

Yes I understand that but it's always nice to have a spare barrel and find, also I have to remove the old barrel first so can use the new one to get some dimensions for making a tool to remove the old one
