I can lend a hand if you need. I *might* be able to organise hoist time for a reasonable rate if you need.

Although there is the obligatory requirement of a slab :(

Its not a 5min job... a hoist helps... if you dont then a trolley jack is a MUST otherwise its a no-go.

What are you gonna use the hoist for? Lifting out the turbos? I didn't realise they were so heavy

Seriously though, pull out your spanners, screw drivers, sockets and just start pulling things off. Pulling things apart is easy! just remember how it goes back together again.

Hoist - to lower/raise the car maybe? :sorcerer:

More to point, its not a job you can 'just' do from the over the top of the engine bay.

You need to get under the car more than once as dumps have to come out, turbos have to be dropped in a certain order etc etc.

Not everything is accessible i believe from over the top. Youm must go underside on a few occasions.

So on a trolley jack/stands... going up/down a few times is a pain the the a$$. It can be done, but a hoist makes life a lot easier and faster.

You need one of these ^

Then point at said turbos and say:

Concealment Charm

Which means:

Used to conceal something so that it cannot be seen.

:(

lol, where does one find one of these fancy things...???

A digi cam is your best mate, take LOTS of photo's then go through them backwards when putting it together again, works a treat :(

Good to see you took the wand option! :(

Wands are best purchased through Hagrid's Wholesale, best value in town :)

Just give is a squirt of WD40 or similar 1-2hrs before you start.

What exactly is "seized" as such?

With leverage, nothing is too hard to remove, just need to think of different ways to approach it sometimes... that was my biggest challenge with my low-mount/ext gate setup. The obvious way wasnt the easiest/best ;)

Bahha. subtle! translation: 'by using the tools in your toolchest, combined with your knowlege as a mechanic you should be able to get the bolts of. Difficulty is of a low level. you should not have a problem.'

out of curiosity, why are you taking them off? upgrade? gasket? just checking?

      It's actually really good advice. And I do try to do it. I actually have 2x 3KG dumbbells that sit right beside where I sit. And I look at them a lot. Use them a little. But I'm trying to do more with it. At the moment I'm going through a heap of weight loss too which will help. I cracked into the 85kg mark this week. My weight used to have me sit consistently between 93 to 95KG! That definitely doesn't help. I've also got POTS, which flared up after I got slapped with COVID a few weeks back, and POTS really smashes fatigue and stuff into you, and has a thing even called "excercise fatigue". Basically even the minorest "excercise" (walking from the garage to the house) causes fatigue! And one of the treatments (Other than a med I'm on) is also... Excercise... Ha ha ha So it's why I'm trying to play the game of "might as well" and trying to push through things. For ADHD specifically, the general recommendation is "excercise". When you dig deep into it though, while any excercise is good, the best type is "explosive" excercise. So training for a sport like squash, tennis, even soccer. Things where you need to get the whole body able to "explode" into a different direction change. They've found with explosive sports, (I can't think of the proper term they have for it) that it actually makes the brain grow and become bigger in specific areas. The areas where ADHD causes those parts of the brain to be smaller than normal! But definitely, trying to push myself, and break those bounds mate, and get healthier!

      Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate

      I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
