I don't doubt garages will be required to have internet connected mot equipment that just makes sense and doesn't cost the dvsa anything. It's the camera bit that sounds unfeasable given the DVLA currently needs to make 34% budget savings by the end of this year. From the dvla business plan...

Yeah sounds like bullshit to me, The costs of collecting and storing 4 weeks worth of video data centralised to the DVLA and paying people to sift through it would be astronomical.

Be easier to just change the vin on Doris's car to match do the test then change it back.

Not really a problem just borrow a cat for 10 minutes job done.

Good thread currently planning out what I’m going to do with my 172. It’s going to be purely a summer road car/toy but will be doing various road trip holidays to France & Italy Engine: Megane key pulley 182 Manifold custom exhaust Ktr intake Transmission: Quaife diff Something to improve...

I like your axle stands!

Could be wrong but think those exhausts aren't stainless so its going to rust.

I know the basics and a bit of stuff around arduino. I find I learn best when I try to just do it rather than following tutorials, just trying to think of something thats suitably complex enough but also interesting. Ideally mixing sensors, servos etc intially I was thinking about some kind of...

So I’m lockdown bored and fusion 360 has added a electronics package so figured I may as well learn it. Anyone recommend something that I can work on as an example that’s going to teach me a decent amount as well?

Bad earth remove the boot trim and clean up.

Yeah been on all winter, it has the auto cut off when the batteries charged. I’m really impressed with it for the money tbf.

https://www.toolstation.com/trickle-battery-charger/p17423 Used one of these on the Clio for the last 2 years sat on the drive with an extension lead never had any issues. I had intended on using this short term and swapping to a c-tek but it’s been faultless so haven’t needed a reason to change.

Well thats pita. Renault bolts for you, broke my nose once when one sheered and I wacked myself with the torque wrench.

For future reference autopaint st helens will do it for half the price, I've had artic & monaco colours off them both decent matches. https://www.auto-paint.co.uk/aerosols/mixed-aerosols/400ml-mixed-aerosol-any-colour.html

Its a timber door. So far I've reinforced the door and put up some more pir lights, its a bit like a football stadium now..:ROFLMAO: I've also bought a couple of these to cover the entrance and exits which is probably the best deterrent because they are bloody loud, scared the s**t out of the...

Do you not have a normal welder?

Expensive grinders are a waste of time imo I just buy the cheapo baulker from toolstation for the price there decent. I like that they don’t use the shitty switch design that gets gummed up with dust. https://www.toolstation.com/bauker-1200w-125mm-angle-grinder/p23631

Well if you’ve got the cash then go for it I’d certainly love a full set of Milwaukee but I can’t justify spending that much. My assortments of tools would make the Milwaukee fan boys in here cringe... :ROFLMAO: Just ordered this the other day actually...

Oh I’ve only got one piece of Milwaukee kit(impact wrench), the rest is a mix of Ryobi, Sealey other budget stuff etc. Milwaukee is fantastic quality but a complete waste of money for weekend warriors unless your loaded in my opinion.

Either of the big brands will be decent I’d go Milwaukee personally given the choice.

I’ve been trying to repair the daily derv while we are stuck in lockdown and it’s got the weirdest fault. It wouldn’t start initially so replaced the crankshaft sensor and now it will run. but if you drive it over a bump or even close the bonnet with it running it cuts out. I’ve wiggled every...

Do they need to blow hot air? Otherwise a decent air compressor would do the job and be useful for other things.

No the cheapo scanners don't work very well with Renaults you need something like icarsoft to get anything usefull.

odyssey blue for phase 1, Monaco was a phase 2 colour.

Is that an old fordson major I spy there?

Well priced too, Ill give it a go. Is the bathe plus worth a go also?

Not happening for a while but what do you charge for the box rebuilds & lsd fitting out of interest? pm if you prefer.

Yeah I've always sprayed it on a panel at a time then "shocked" it into the paint with the pressure washer on full bore then rinsed.

Yeah works the same never had any staining issues myself but I don't own dark coloured cars. I'll have to try that turtle wax above tho.
