If you want to stick with Autodesk it’d probably be Revit for your modelling and Navisworks for the clash detection. YouTube full of decent video tutorials for most stuff. It’s a tough one self employed tho, the big upfront cost of the software and the time you need to put into learning it...

Yup. Not overly difficult but bit of a learning curve to it. tbh when people say bim they often just mean 3D model.

I’ve repaired punctures in that area before and it’s been fine. That treads got a lot of cracks for a new tyre must’ve been sat on the shelf a good while.

Yeah agreed, it’s just weird it’s not auto ranging so assumed whatever it is, is quite old.

Just google for a 9v dc 200Ma output power adapter with whatever jack you need, loads on eBay, Amazon etc. As already said tho you’ve potentially fried whatever your plugging this in to.

f**k you sealey is it b****cks for the 1.5 dci

I am but Its a 2016 plate car so may be some minor differences but the engine should be very similar. I've got a Sealey pin its 64mm long MOT1489.

Currently changing the belt. Got the bottom crankshaft pin in and the engine won't rotate further. The cam shaft is roughly 10 degrees clockwise past the timing pin hole so even with adjustment on the pully bolts I can't get the pin in. I'm pretty certain it's on the original belt.

So got the bottom pin in but the cam shaft pin will not line up it’s a pin width out clockwise. The tensioner concerns me but it runs fine so. 🤷‍♂️ Thoughts?

First question anyone got the workshop manuals for the 1.5? Preempting a tight pulley bolt does the flywheel have an access panel for the Renault locking tool or is it a starter motor off job?

Straightforward enough, some of the pipes are a pita to get off but if you don’t care about keeping them can just cut them.

They do but most of them only last for about a year. Figured ppf will last longer and it’s easier to swap over when it does fail.

Ceramic coat still the way to go or has anyone tried using ppf as a longer term solution?

The American overlords in work have come up with a list of words we can’t use in file names in case they cause offence. Two of which are “slave” and “master”. Two weeks ago all the servers, vm’s and file systems got renamed and none of them now work. They’ve now decided it’s actually ok to...
