bmw's has nice and small water to air ic's. Got mine from junkyard for 50€

The actuators are made to be universal. Due to their one size fits all nature it can be fiddly to get them working reliably but if you can make it work on the back door it should work on the front doors too.

Thanks for the reply. Do we look for the same wiring colours from the other doors?

@@davywirapranata4911 they can be a good indication but the drivers door lock is the master and the other door locks are slaves generally speaking. that way if the drivers door unlocks, they all unlock. it would be best practice to test with a multimeter.

Haha, had a hell of a time with this but learned so much! Thanks for the comment! Making a car go doesn't always have to require a dustless engine building room!

You can say that again! Have you ever been involved with a project like this? Problem solving was the main challenge with this one!

Nothing a bit of draino can't fix!

😂

Thanks mate ❤

Smart thinking! They're a good car and worth a bit of love!

obviously a man of culture

I wasn't planning on doing this work as I mentioned in the video! Working as a sole-trader you learn to say yes to everything. Yeah you pretty much nailed it. It's cheaper, keeps the house cooler during hot Australian summers. Less likely to flood, good access to services from underneath for maintenance and alterations. You don't see it anymore in new construction here but it's very common practice with decking, renovations and restorations.

@@dingeldiy Thank you for answering, if it gets any hotter round here in the next years, this might be a new (to this part of the world) trend.

Yeah that sounds about correct. Could be 2 and a quarter but it's best to measure and check

What wheels would you put on? I like the enkei rpf01 wheels but dont have money for them right now

if the bottom end timing is correct then all you need to do is remove the timing belt, set everything to tdc (the injection pump gear, crank pulley and cam gears) and put the timing belt back on. As always, turn the engine over by hand a few cycles to make sure you got it right.

without the timing belt installed the top end (head and cams) and the bottom end aren't linked or connected. you can time the helical gears without the cams and their gears in the correct positions. hell, you can time the bottom end with out a cylinder head installed. When it comes time to install the timing belt make sure your injection pump gear, cam gears and main pulley are aligned to their respective TDC marks. In the video I slightly adjust my camshaft as it wasn't perfectly aligned with TDC

A pest controller can use a thermal camera to check for active termites. If they're inactive one way to check for damage is to knock on the timber framing to see if it sounds hollow or solid.

I have a hard time sitting still 😅 thanks for the comment Tilly!

Thank you so much 😀

yeah but so is watching paint dry! XD

haha thanks Tilly!

Everything in this video, in a diesel, should either make the fuel efficiency better or keep it the same.

Thanks for watching and god bless the king

Sorry I have no idea how easy or difficult that would be. Anything is possible with enough fabrication and time

The usual diy method is to tighten it when the engine is in the car and bolted to the gearbox. Put it in gear with the handbrake on and you should be able to torque it down. Another method is to put rope down the injector hole on the cylinder head (when the piston is on the power stroke so you don't bend valves) If you cram enough rope in, when it gets compressed it will stop the crank from spinning and you can tighten it that way. Or just send it with an Impact gun (then double check when it's back in the car and bolted to the rest of the drivetrain)

Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for taking the time to comment!

That before and after montage had no business going that hard

Thanks mate! Not planning on slowing down anytime soon 😍

Thanks mate! It is my first car that I bought off my nan, very sentimental to me ❤

Thanks Cody! Glad you enjoyed it

They sure are! Recycled railway sleepers in the garden like this are so timeless, especially on classic Australian property like this. Can get them from most garden suppliers.

Hi Andrew, if you're the expert perhaps you could leave a helpful comment on what those '10 things' are?

@@dingeldiy sure, firstly I love that you followed the 250/1200/250 rule for installing the top hat, I’ve seen professionals install the bottom batten at around 400mm because they were just lazy. - you used some black bitumen sealer instead of Pink CSR Base Sealer specifically designed for Hebel Panels - you used Tile Adhesive instead of CSR Hebel thinset adhesive - panels <2700mm require only 3 battens, but anything bigger than that requires 4 battens minimum - perhaps the biggest mistake is that you have control/movement joints on the same batten. Where there is a movement joint between 2 panels there must also be a break in the top hat to allow for movement; see table 3.6.2.2 of hebel installation guide for illustration - you used 100mm bugle screws where hebel say to use 14-10x90mm hex head type 17 screw to avoid panel pull out over time - suspended panels may require additional top hat where there is no concrete rebate to sit the panels on - can’t see enough adhesive squeezing out of joints which indicates insufficient amount of adhesive (my opinion) Not as many as I thought off the top of my head - overall I’ve seen “professionals” do a lot worse. Biggest one was the top hat across a control joint

@@andrewdanckert266 thanks, all valid observations! All for the greater good and I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. Is there a link you can provide for further reading?

Hi Michelle, the seats were out for about 4 months, then we put them back in and have had them in for quite a while now. I should make another video to show how to reinstall! Thanks for the idea

@@dingeldiy that would be great- thanks! Sounds like it was fairly easy then?

Can't hurt to get a quote from an exhaust shop or look for one second hand. Some dump pipes are available new online.

​@@dingeldiy🙏

Vic ash or Tassie oak. If its a door/window sill sometimes I use merbau. Generally speaking it's good to match the replacement timber to the original timber.

Unfortunately they're not mine to sell! Hopefully you can take the measurements from the video and do it that way!

Thanks very much Peg!

Cheers mate - video quality 🚀

black+red and the other is brown

That link is dead and i can't find it anywhere. Here's a forum post that may help as well. www.offroadexpress.kiwi/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=43830

Everything should be replaced after 100,000 kms - in this video I reused my timing kit because I knew it was only 6 months old
