2nd Hand Vespa Parts


Recommended Posts

Hello,


I have just bought a 2002 Vespa ET4 off a friend of a friend with the instruction that it needs a few new parts. I'm completely in the dark when it comes to bikes/scooters and so was wondering if anyone knew how much I should be spending on the following second hand parts (I'm going to try and source them off gumtree, the pricing seems to differ quite a lot):


1. Exhaust

2. Battery

3. Spark Plug


Looking for standard quality, nothing fancy.


Thanks for the help in advance,


Harry

Hi

Exhausts can be a bit pricey and I wouldn't expect much change out of ?100 for one but could be much more. Spark plugs you can buy online for a tenner and a new battery is about ?30/40.

I take my bike to Honda riders in Peckham, they should be able to sort out all the repairs. Aside from the exhaust it shouldn't be too expensive.

I would also recommend Honda Riders (they do all makes, not just Hondas). I've been taking my Vespa there for years and they are always friendly and helpful. I would also agree with the prices above for new spares - a quick search on the internet will show you what's about but I wouldn't think it's worth going second hand with any of these bits except, possibly, the exhaust if you're lucky enough to find a nearly new one off a crashed bike or similar.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
