I've never tried testing a VCU that way but it looks kinda tight to me. The scaffold weighs a kilo or two as well as the 6kg weight. In the past I've stuck screwdrivers through the UJ joints to turn a VCU but could never have applied the force...

Looks good. Had a shot at recovering tired door panels this afternoon. Looks to be quite a success.

My old banger £200 daily driver runaround bmw failed the mot today with a knackered subframe. I had a good look at it and the whole rear suspension looks like it's been parked in the sea for some years, so sadly off to the scrappy it goes. It...

And/Or the most bonkers! 🤣 Thanks mate :)

I wouldn't mind so much but the charging timer was only installed a couple of months ago. :( At least it helps me remember how I installed everything in the first place. I spent a few hours rebuilding the HV junction box so it's almost complete...

The rebuild has started. HV and LV junction boxes removed Dumped in a box I was never happy with the previous design that kinda evolved as I learned more about what I needed. I had LV components in the HV JB which is an obvious no no, and...

Not sure whether we should laugh or cry.

Not very often, fortunately, I get "one of those jobs" ! Offered to replace a strut top mount for a mate. Both strut to hub bolts and nuts seized solid, like they had become one piece of metal. My 350 + ft lb impact driver wouldn't touch it. Nut...

Lovely night in work in royal mail an area that noted for being a sweatbox😟 Only thing keeping me going was to ignore it. When all around you are speaking a foreign language I blank it. When I get back home to bed. I eventually ignored the din of...

I will leave you with this image of me getting ready for work tonight. Night night all.

One thing we will never, ever, be able to ignore in future, when we see 1 of your great illustrations, is the image of you creating it on your bed naked save for a pair of Y fronts and socks!

I'm happy to have Google do that for me for free. The more I advertising Landyzone, people who are searching for images can see where it came from. Books are old hat now as you may sell a dozen or none. Just keep ignoring me 🥸

How could I ignore you on our first night together.

I took the advice of many here and ignored it

Hi learned forum members. I wonder if you could help me with some advice. Sorry if this has been asked before but I've recently been reading this forum thread that says "please ignore". Now the problem is I've not ignored it and have only gone...

Just checking everyone is being, as usual, an upstanding and responsible adult within the community and ignoring this thread. @MGT See what you have done? There is real work not being done in the world right now because of you. A simple...

To ignore something, by definition, you must know what to ignore. You can't ignore nothing

Thanks for ignoring this thread. I was afraid people would take the p*ss.

Would delete it but can't see the option

Catch 22

From my experience; Rimmer Bros customer services like to play these games. They supplied me with reversing sensors that didn't work and then told me that because I had tried them that I would have to put in a warranty claim and wait for...

Send it back.

Agreed, if the assistant is pumping the pedal with the bleed nipple open, every time they lift their foot air gets in.

Never had any success with that methond on any car. 2 person method for me is: 1) open bleed valve & assistant pushes pedal steadily to floor & hold. 2) close bleed valve & assistant releases pedal. 3) repeat 1 & 2 until no bubbles on fluid...

Hi, First you should buy an used door lock for your door, take the right version unless it will not works. Then you can figure out how it work. The outside door handle will not help you, put back the handle cable in place, but first remove...

I call Click bait!

Slacker! 😋

It was a while ago but IIRC the car I looked at had a button to start it so the guy may have wired it into the starter relay. I did a similar thing myself recently in my wifes Ford Kuga. It stopped recognising the clutch was pushed in even...

Having fitted a new clutch, new slave and attached this to a known working master cylinder I was not at all surprised to find the clutch bite was in the carpet. It has happened before but never really found not why it happens and how to fix it...
