Rik, I seem to recall years back that sunflower oil burns hot ! Rapeseed oil was always preferred when I ran veg oil .

Yes yes, just checked and 50 less than I've managed so far. Cheers Ray

Exactly our thoughts Rick. I'll get a deal somewhere 😃

Normally, I'd be right on it as you suggest. The problem here is the Autel is only sold via authoritised dealers. I've since found out all the ebay ones are generic Chinese copies . Basically buy one and have no back up 😑 Not good if your client's Mercedes throws a hissy fit and locks up the...

Hi guys, especially diagnostics gurus :D My son is in the market for an AUTEL Maxisys MS908 Prices from our local motor factors are £3k near as damn it, ebay about £1450 ? I'm wondering if anyone has any supplier recommendations or pointers for this imminent purchase. Many thanks :thumbs

Dragons you say , loads of them round here 🤣

If only I knew that when I built the bugger :confused: Anyway, I took it in today for professional advise, and luckily, the bore is still within Nissan spec. Therefore , it's going for cross hatch hone, deck check and the head surface ground. Again, that had been done with a single point milling...

How do muckers :D With all this down time I've been enjoying sorting my mega list of things to do around the house, absolutely loving it, skint as a church mouse , but loving it. Any roadup it came to pass that the Black Pearl was needing an engine rebuild again :o Last year after less than a...

Yes I did but the engine went on the wonky. I'll start a thread on that for your entertainment later on 🤣

Just "dropped" the Pearl's lokka , again :o We were taking the engine out. Didn't bother cutting bolts off the cross member or taking it off, just jack up the engine 1 cm and it'll fall out :lol

I'm in :) We're always upto something in the boy's garage. :cool: Lockdown, even more so :naughty

No competition Rick, you win hands down. I probably use more than that in the camper 🤣

Horrid 😳

In a slightly associated way, I made a wood fired hot tub last year. One night we may have had a beer too many while cooking the water.... Anyway checked temperature of water and it had gone to 42 degrees, oops. Ideal is 38, had to put two bags of party ice in there before I got naked :lol

No NATS on the Black Pearl :lol

Best thing once you've done with the polishing bit is a clear lacqauer. Saves doing it again 6 months. I've done a few now and easy with autosolve and a cordless drill and buffer. Takes several minutes max 😃

Thanks Rick, I'll go and get mine out for a check over. :)

Tis true but I live in hope of this "other" computer lasting longer than mine :lol I had a dropbox account but lost access to it when my old "Wanadoo" email was dropped by orange or EE I cant retrieve it without the access to the old email address :confused: I have to load up loads of pics and...

Have you got a pic of that unit please Ric

Never had that issue with mine but have heard that the diff lock actuator is a bit suspect. No idea why it would shoot off to one side other than local road conditions like camber or wetness ?
