@@tungtung4229 I agree that my early content is crap but I had no money for better equipment and I had not been making content for long when I filmed this video. I use my galaxy S7 these days which is much better than the cheap old camera that this video was filmed with. I do not get any money from any of my content so I pay for equipment out of my own pocket

If your aC doesn't work, could be the compressor itself just leaking being a fault to replace it. I bought anew one for $600, now they are selling them fr $800, they said last one in VIC damn sucks a bit as just havem't used it yet

Thanks for the information, I will get automotive R134a service valve quick connector to 1/4 refrigeration service valve adaptors so I can see what the system pressure is and diagnose the system. The A/C was working when the car was parked but I suspect that a viton O ring has gone hard and let the gas out. I have read however that if the fan resistor for the heater fan is gone that the compressor will not work but I have yet to verify

Cheers mate :) , I really need to do more stripped down no edit, "no frills" videos. I do enjoy this style of video; when aussie50 (fellow youtuber) committed suicide that really killed the community; but maybe I should get back into it. I do have some really interesting projects on the go but I end up thinking that no one will give a shit and that making video/s is a waste of time; maybe I am overthinking everything. Cheers from Benalla, Victoria

Probably exactly what you just said, but as this video was filmed a very very long time ago I can't remember. There are other videos about this machine and I fully rebuilt it spending over $900 Aud on it including replacing the outer tub with a new one from Ripon, Wisconsin. This was never intended to be a "how to" but rather I filmed what I found interesting at the time

Hello dave, I think it’s strange, that we all feel isolated. Imagine a world where our apparent strangeness was normalised. I first encountered your channel when I searched. for VS information, what really intrigued me was how to exit “ the platform” and of course, your personal loss of a friend. I’m glad you have support and are very intelligent, and have adjusted so well. I’m not well, probably the last thing you need to know but true. There are an astonishing number of people who fall into this category. You have spoken out aloud. I think it’s enlightening.

Stumbled across your video this evening, as I too have a 440t RCD that has tripped. However, like your video, the switch is VERY stiff to the point I may exert too much pressure on the switch. It is stuck in the tripped position, thus I am without power ( as of writing ). It's good to hear a typical blokey Aussie accent on KZfaq BTW. 😃
@wickedxe
@wickedxe 4 ай бұрын
Sorry to hear your power is off and I hope it is fixed soon. I am glad you enjoyed my video :) . Man I got flamed for this video; A lot of people said that this RCD was perfectly fine and that I caused the problem by repeatedly tripping it and resetting it until it failed to trip; what the people didn't know is that the RCD in the video was given to me by my mate who is an electrical inspector and he confirmed it was faulty and did not trip when he hit the test button; it did trip most of the time when I tested it but every now and again it did fail to trip. A lot of people seem to really hate my voice on youtube, not sure why but I am glad you enjoyed the vid

This makes me angry because there are people on here like yourself, who share their knowledge; and so many other great KZfaqrs, but whenever someone continuously receives abuse and or stupid comments that are unnecessary and irrelevant, KZfaq do jack. It’s infuriating to see so many great KZfaqrs who take the time out of their lives to do videos as you do for others to watch and enjoy and learn things from. Not only that but these trolls don’t even have content (probably because they can’t make any that’s worthy of uploading.) and they don’t show a picture of their faces which says to me they’re cowards and screen freaks and keyboard warriors. You’ve given so much to KZfaq and they are jealous of your skill and knowledge. These people have pathetic little lives, and perhaps mummy and daddy said no to their pocket money, perhaps someone kicked them into touch or something, I don’t know. But these animals have no respect, and no filter, we don’t want them on here. Especially when it is a hobby. Don’t let these comments and freaks bring you down, you have more people who admire and respect you and love your videos. There are more people who will stand behind you than there are for the trolls,
