Re-upload of my second video. I mixed up the edit first time. This one should make sense...

Some videos. Don't mind my waffle. I'm like an old lady TBH. I can't think about what I'm saying & doing whilst talking and working on the car. The result is I talk a whole load of ****e and create boring videos...

I was thinking that. It probably needs a good drive on the motorway by the time the heat travel through to the fan coil mechanism, too.

All back together now and coolant topped up. Slight "hissing" sound but I think that's either the new belt breaking in or I've over tightened the AC belt. Probably the latter. Tested the blades on startup and the newspaper slows it to a stop. However... after a few mile drive to the shops &...

Never heard of them. I'll invest in one. Can one just use a tap 'n' die set, wot wot wot...

Which numpty said 23NM... 🤭 what a forum!

I'll put some thread locker on too for safety. 25NM it is then

I've been filming, yes so I'll definitely mention him before I finish 😉. I've also posted in his video about the incorrect torque values.

It might if it had ripped through the aluminium thread & wedged in, which is what I was dreading. I know but when you trust someone on YouTube who "seems" to know what they're doing you assume they're right. I thought if he's confidently posted that torque setting and he himself torqued his...

87NM? I'll try that.

Been doing other jobs distracting me from the car (that I was dreading) but here's the update. Milliput failed due to frosty weather not letting it set and lack of plusgas (for fear it would stop the Milliput sticking) so the Milliput popped off with a little force but no movement of the bolt...

As before, I'll pray it hasn't blended the Ally. I "think" the bolt has melted before the aluminium.

There is at the start but I can't see where he corrects the error to 23nm. Where in the video does he put the correction?

Yeah I've got one of those mini screwdriver drills & a screw extractor set, but like you say the room to get in is very tight. The extractor sets are double ended too which makes it longer. I could cut one un half and see if it'll fit 🤔

It takes 24h I think for the putty to set so I'll try tomorrow. I won't work but I just need to prove it to myself. I'll spray some penetrative oil on iif not then hopefully I can find someone to help weld a nut on it, Monday. Anyone near me in Ryton with a wielder?

I copied this guy. But you're right. I didn't use my common sense to question it: Go to 4:23 onwards.

Just realised I typed "prat for me lads" 🤣 I think the universe is trying to tell me something...

That's the spirit! Wonder if I've got any left in the cupboard...?

8mm I believe. I'll order some new bolts. Do they have to a particular type to be torqued up?

Don't have a welder or welding skills unfortunately. There's a garage round the corner though. They might be able to get someone out. I'll give my milliput experiment a go and see what happens. I might get lucky...
