Let's us know what you think of these longer more in depth workshop episodes! And what topics should Dan cover next? Thanks for watching!

@hjfilms2615 6 ай бұрын

What do you need to make a dual battery from kings and how to wire it up? I know you have made videos on dual batteries but I still don’t know how they work and what each different piece does.

@MicahBell_1860 6 ай бұрын

Absolutely. Let's start at the beginning. Basic servicing. Oils, filters, priming fuel pumps, pads & shoes etc. & NOT JUST BLOODY PATROLS!!! Just kidding. But the differences we may find in different makes etc

Putting grease inside hubs to stop moisture is another good tip... but i rekon valve adjustments boys... plus more importantly so many people forget their transmissions, diffs, trans axles, brakes, cooling systems, hubs and power steering services on their vehicles.

Regardless of the otherwise excellent content in this episode, I'd like to say how much I really appreciate the articulate, intelligent dialogue and Dan's obvious mechanical knowledge and experience. AA's relaxed style belies just how focused you are, setting the standard and the example in this crowded, but not necessarily good youtube space. It's why I watch follow your channel!

Engineering whiteboard! It’s like Larko during the v8 Supercars. It should interrupt every episode for a quick explainer to a technical situation. Love it

I've been working on my own cars for 25yrs. Never knew that thing about the little oring on the caliper piston. I kinda never thought about it either, just assumed it was brake caliper faires that sorted out that operation.

Love to see more mechanical stuff. I'll be saving them all and watching them again when I go to attempt my own rebuilds. 😊

@bryanhansen5323 6 ай бұрын

Has a qualified technician , Dan just explained the principle like a champ 🎉, a lot of people these days don’t realised how small things can impact bigger stuff , I always explain to family and my surroundings how parts actually work and how it can be affected because safety is the main priority. Excellent video , we need more of these video 😊

The basic mechanic stuff was worth watching. The extra engineering deep dive into why things happen, like the pads off gassing, is the sort of thing that I LOVE to learn because understanding why gives me the ability to make educated decisions instead of just following a replacement guide. Keep on it. Btw, I love my '89 GQ LWB wagon with td42 silvertop. I want to get a cab chassis version to turn into an off-road tow truck. If only I had the money and workshop space to do it...

I have probably learnt more from this video, than many hours watching previous you tube videos. You have a fantastic demeanour, and tied with your knowledge, it has been a joy to watch. More of this please Dan.
