I'm proud of being the reason building management put up a sign saying you weren't allowed to do work on cars in an apartment parking area. I didn't even live there.

I'd imagine Seafoam works even better on a lot of modern engines. Direct injection plus EGR bullshit isn't a great combination for avoiding clagging up.

Cojawfee posted:Seafoam doesn't work for poo poo on direct injection unless there's an injector behind the valves for cleaning them. It comes with a small straw to feed it into the intake, so it cleans up valves just like "normal" fuel injectors do.

Yeah, Seafoam not being enough to handle properly cooked on stuff makes sense, I thought people were saying it wouldn't get to those areas, which didn't add up for me.

Take the inlet manifold off, blast into the port with the valve closed, hoover it out.

LPG intalls always make me twitch. Even aside from the visible I-used-copper-plumbing-pipe-for-this poo poo, just the inherent nature of them is something that's for people trying to run a car they can't really afford, which obviously always ends brilliantly.

wesleywillis posted:We all know they should have done the same thing for that that people do for rusted out floor pans. Silicone and self tapping screws. The trick is to use a smaller drill bit than required, punch it through with a tapered drift to extrude the metal out the other side a bit, and then this gives something for your self-tappers to bite into better.

Are they known to do that, then? Hopefully your diff centre itself is unharmed and you can transpose it into another casing with a new CWP set. Is there a reinforcement option available?

# ¿ Jan 26, 2020 19:35 |

No, that sounds about right. I suspect what happened is they've either mistakenly shipped you a 5mm one - but then I would expect it'd be marked with something - or they're all initially drilled at 5mm then taken out to the final size and this one skipped a step. If it's a proprietary design to a given company, tell them about it, it could even be a knock-off that's got into the supply chain, and people in aerospace do not take kindly to that.

You put the spare on the rear first, then jack up the front and put the good one you took off on to replace the punctured one. Though some of my cars the jack goes centrally and raises the entire side of the car anyway.

Hell, that's actually a fairly sensible solution. If the thread on the shaft is hosed you'll be replacing it anyway, so if it keeps it alive for a while longer, ehhhh.

I'm pretty sure when I got my licence back in the 90s being able to select the correct gear was part of the test and if you couldn't do that you didn't get a licence.

You mean the TFL videos on their Defender? First one made it 160 miles before developing a terminal engine fault. Second one didn't leave the dealership, the workshop guy cut through an apparently unobtanium wiring loom while trying to fit a winch. The third one seems ok, but still flashed up a suspension fault the first time they turned it on.

IIRC they have an airline connection that pressurises the barrel so you get oil flowing out a dump pipe to your main waste oil tank, that's how you empty it when full. I think while investigating air going out the intake, he dropped the intake tube so the bottom of it was below the level of the oil remaining in the pressurised barrel, thus creating an easy escape path for it to jizz everywhere.

Colin Furze built something like that, though for the perfectly respectable reason of trying to make a fart that could be heard from France.
