Look handy enough yeah.

The bucket buddy?

I wouldn't keep running it, put it that way 😂 Must be a pulley or tensioner that's come loose you'd think, but it should be dead by now if that's the case 🤔

Is that one of the alternator bolts?

Yeah a cheap TDS-3 meter off Amazon is fine.

Mine has been fine for a few years now.

Not really, but if you don't use it fairly regularly just note that it might develop a fishy/stagnant smell.

Yeah i use a spray head, just so i can start/stop when i want. Also a quick tip, when you disconnect the hose from the outlet end, have a bucket or container ready and drain all the filtered water into that and use it for mixing screenwash or whatever rather than waste it down the drain.

My Milltek with decat and straight through centre section passes noise regs easily.

Heavy corrosion, missing teeth or cracks.

Check the ABS rings.

Ahh right, as long as it's there it 'should' be doing its job.

You never know, a strong shampoo like Carpro Reset or Gyeon Restart Wash might be enough to take it off. Or a mild pre-wash with something like Surfex HD.

Does it have the heat shield over the starter, by the way?

Possibly yeah, or it just got stuck for someone reason. Had it before on other cars, gave it a tap and it was fine for years. Also check that the small wire isn't coming loose. Just incase it's that.

See if you can give it a tap while someone turns the key.

Give it a good wash with some decent shampoo and see where you are from there. If anything it'll just need a light polish tbh

These do https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/triscan/7659430 https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/triscan/7659429 Still Autodoc just a different name.

I couldn't. Just bought separately in the end. About £120 all in, although could have been about £10 less if I'd have just got 10L of resin. The prefilled ones which are out of stock everywhere were about £90.

Yeah I only plan to have it just for rinsing I think. Are they ok to use with a PW then? I read that it can mess with the resin due to the pulses of some machines.

Taken all the slack out of the belt before tightening the pulleys I'm guessing?

Yeah definitely just getting 10L next time. It came as 5x2L vacuum packed bags and a single 1L. Started getting to the end of the 5th bag and was like, I'm not getting that last bag in 😅 Hopefully lasts quite a while with my water being fairly mild anyway.

Well it's arrived today and I've filled it up with resin, bought 11L off eBay and it was full with 10L... You were right @Sir Nancy Flowers 😂 120ppm before and 0ppm instantly 👌🏻

Yeah Poorboy's Black Hole or Prima Amigo via machine was the thing back in the day 👌🏻

And that's what it's all about... Oh the old Hikoki!

It'll already be full after you've used it 😂

Don't use 115 if you're at 300ppm mate. 200 and over use 151. The ready filled kits will likely have been 115, plus the fact you got it 2nd hand will be why it went so quickly.

Got some on eBay 10L+1L of Tulsion brand mb115 off eBay. Would have preferred Indion resin mb151 but it's like hen's teeth. £63

That's mad! Just a bit s**t when they sell in quantities that don't match the vessel size. Oh 11L vessel... Here's 10L sir 😂 A few places do sell by the litre, although it probably works out costing more.
