Ive pretty much had to retire my 1/2 drive socket set as breaking too much s**t. I use 1/4 or 3/8 all the time.
Ironically only started training in 2007 after losing a load of weight that made me weak as piss and couldnt undo a hub nut with a breaker bar :LOL:
Ill get one ordered on payday. Im a shithouse when it comes to blow torches or oxy and feel like its the safer option instead of setting myself on fire, and it will save me from snapping a few things with brute force :LOL:
Rumour has it, you could exchange halfords torque wrenches occasionally so you have a fresh calibrated one :whistle:
Im after a decent hot spanner. Looking at the cheapo ali express induction heaters. Any good? Dont want to spend a load for one off.
All you need is vehicle speed from the stereo wiring of all places, and rpm from your standalone ecu.
Theres a load of info on this post. https://cliosport.net/threads/epas-fault-help.841005/

Fitted a set of my compomotive mo6 with new michelin ps5 mid week.
Loving the look over stock wheels.
Planned on taxing it on the 1st and taking it for a ride out. As i cant leave nothing alone i investigated the strut top knock on Sat. There is a small spacer which is missing and the...
Thanks all. Took it out for a test run and all is good regarding handbrake.
Theres a slight knocking on the passenger side front, i reckon its the spherical bearing in the compbrake top mount or the anti rotation link as i fitted a good used pair i had i stock which were tight, but maybe not...
Sunday update.
Not had much joy sourcing a used handbrake guide tube. New oem NLA and its 50/50 chance a used one will be useable.
As this is a guide tube it has no tension on it so just guides the cable via rear footwell into the centre console. Its quite a basic tube so had a go at...
Sat update.
After being awaken at 730am by the postie knocking on the door with car parts decided to do a bit.
First job - fuel hose. The short bit of plastic pipe from fuel rail to metal section had been replaced in the past for rubber, common repair for meg when original plastic pipe fails...

Forgot to say had a carry on with the radiator. Rad was leaking so changed it for used oem that i had in stock. Id done due dilligence and filled it with water to check for leaks and it didnt appear to leak? Flushed cooling system throughly and a load of shite came out. Filled with coolant and a...

Been a little slack on updating but progress has been made.
Got trackrod ends on through week and refitted abs sensors/cable holders.
Everthing new
Lower dogbone mount was kaputt so renewed. Ive alson fitred yellow powerflex insert to top engine mount. Checked cambelt whilst there...
Excellent footage @MarkCup
Definitely need to look at suspension setup on the Kangoo, found it hard to pedal it, but had mega fun for first use in anger!
Normal in warm weather, coolant comes up fast which is good
As @JamesBryan said above, the gauge comes up to half way around 50 deg iirc and stays there when everything is ok. The needle does not move about even though the obd temp is moving quite a lot, same on most cars these days.
Ohh mate shes a nut job, shes next door but one. My neighbour has a loud family but just kids doing kid s**t, i cant hear it. Anyway neighbour has helped out crazy lady loads of times and even got her a small job and she goes and reports him for noise pollution.
I had my music on mid day ages...
Cheers mate. Went as big as i realistically could when i built the garage. Now its filled with cars i wish id pushed it out a bit furthur as always working outside. Not ideal in winter!
I heard one of the neighbours was moaning about it recently - how many cars i have etc. Fat gobby woman who...
