if your looking for a pump for parts washing, the pump in my parts washer is identical to a submersible pond pump with a filter gause over the inlet, in the event the pump stops i will be purchasing another pond pump (the same as used for water features and gold fish)
PS to run a sand blaster even a small one you need 20cfm air compressor or you will be struggling to use it . i have noticed that their is a blaster that goes on the end of a hi pressure water blaster . i think its called a wet blaster, only seen them on the computer some where.
i use turps or white spirit for parts and metho for brake parts, sometimes i use the spay on degreaser to, and for heavy covered areas use a wire brush first then degrease.
yes i have a cheap parts washer as well
a per mile road tax is how you tax an EV, i would say thats the big push behind it . same as here
if your referencing a noise in the radio like the noise you got from an old car it could be the alternator starting to fail ?
yes they can be intermittent at the start but become more prominent with time... if the cat is damaged it can pressurize and blow the gasket out and cause running issues. check around all the manifolds and joint areas with a piece off flexy hose up to your ear and listen for a fluffing sound.
sounds like manifold gasket or something similar if its cutting out continually it could be cracked catalist.
the first time i heard it it sounded like lifter rattle, you call them followers, without cam wear but the second time i listened it had a ring, rattle sound to it and now not so shore .
PS had another listen still think its lifters , if it sounds like a diesel idling (sort off that is) then the holes the lifters sit in might be slightly worn causing a slight leak down , just enough to cause a noise. is it their when you do an oil change have you tried a different oil ?
might be best to send off the new purchased one and get it coded for your car as well as get the chip fitted , then you have a spare just in case. then it plug and play out of the box so to speak
it was sad to hear of his passing , he was on the doner system and helped several others . i think he was a real man in many ways that people didn't know off
RIP Mr RRToadhall
welcome
there needs to be weight on the tow ball at all times , if the trailer is pitching it is too light .EG have you removed the spare from the front draw bar or moved the weight on the trailer somehow , bought new tyres that are bigger and lifted the trailer just enough to bounce up and down on the ball. try lifting the suspension up on the car (if its on air and not springs) so its caring the weight on the tow ball and see if its any different . if you have put smaller diameter tyres on the car it would have the same effect. in other words its balanced out at tow ball height.
i removed my dash and didnt remove the steering column , i did remove one off the leavers from the steering to make it easier the biggest problem i had was removing the wood grain strip above the glove box a real pita . my only advice is to make shore the flaps in the heater box are free and move easy. if you are going to do the heater core you have to remove it to replace the core without cutting anything and dont forget the fans , might as well do a good job of it
PS i used dash removal paulsp38.com
thats just over $6000 AU dollars , i wouldn't call that cheap ? but you do get what you pay for . ask if their is any second hand parts used EG valve springs ,rocker shafts,rods pistons . ask if the motor is actually bored or had top hat liners fitted and crank ground or refaced ,theirs a difference. my experience with engine builders is they will use anything that looks good enough to go another round . its more about you the purchaser knowing what you are purchasing? they do this to keep the price down and when they say starts at 3195 , what do you get if you pay more or what difference is the next level.
PS this comes from my experience with recon engines.
i had a dodgy fan on mine , replaced the fan and it fixed several issues that seam to persist out side of the fan including the book symbol, but my AC still doesn't work thou, thats either a pressure switch or gas issue , with 4 dec out side today it's not on my list if things to fix.
check the obvious first brake pads then universals ?
how do the brakes work , are they the over ride system , if so put the reverse plate over and go for a drive see if its any different . remove the wheels and visually check the brakes . are they discs or drums ? hydraulic ,cable or electric.
i replaced my top door not long ago , its a bit of a juggling act with the bottom door and the top door to get them to close properly and hopefully they wont leak. you can loosen the screws on the top door and move the catch ever so slightly but the only adjustment with the top door is the hinges. good luck with it .
what is the difference as the pipe work that i sent to David was 4.0l i think and his is a 4.6 , please correct me if i am wrong , or are we talking a different piece of pipe? or was we just lucky
well who would have guessed the solenoids are different from 95 to 97 model, as in the plug is different, so that didn't work . tried to fix my tail light to as the globe was black but still worked so i replaced it with a dud that didn't work , went and found a new one that dose work to find out i still have the alarm on the dash , so that didn't work either . i also removed the pressure switch for the air con to fix air con , im holding on to the pressure switch as that might be to much for the oldgirl in one day, i have obviously upset her somehow so will start again another day (insert pissed off imogey x2)
well surprise surprise, it happened again ,only this time i left the cover off . so it's not a big thing to get at . as soon as i touched the opening actuator it starts to work again , i would prefer it to just stop, so not happy . pushed the button a couple of times , in frustration and it ratcheted a couple of times so i will replace the opening solenoid and see what happens (insert several swear words). Can we get a pissed off imogey?
