Unimog Locking Door Handles
Просмотров 5462 года назад
Just a short video on how to remove the door handles on a Unimog. If you don't want to replace your door handles to fit locking ones just take your handles to a locksmith and get them to cut you some keys and you will save some money. I bought the new handles before the Unimog was delivered because I was told that it had a fixed ignition key and no other keys supplied with the truck. Enjoy.
Mitsubishi Pajero Alloy Wheel Repaint

This video is about buying a set of second hand alloy wheels, sanding and repairing them before repainting them. This video is 22 minutes long but trust me it takes a long time to clean sand and paint wheel rims. Many many hours of sanding so think about it before you take on such a big task. Enjoy.

DIY Driving Cockpit Build for Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel
Просмотров 1952 года назад
In this little project I make a driving cockpit from an old disused trampoline frame. If you wanted to make your own maybe this will give you some ideas. The only things I had to buy were the bolts to hold the plywood down and the carpet. Everything else I had. I had to do some alterations along the way but in the end it came out pretty good. Even got approval from the cat and the dog!

Permanent Sagging Roof Lining Repair on an Alfa Romeo 147
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 года назад
After being quoted $450.00 to replace the roof lining I thought of doing the job myself. Material costs are Glue about $100, Fabric about $150. I didn't feel confident in recovering it with new fabric even after watching a few youtube videos on how to do it. So I came up with an idea to coat it with Bed Liner. At a cost of $40.00 and a texture similar to leather I think it came out really good.

You should buy a round brush that fits on a drill must faster deep scrubbing
Thanks for the good idea. I'll try it next time 👍
Great tips Albie! Happy motoring from a fellow Aussie. Wish you were here!! I could use some one on one.
Wow... my 2.0 TS 147 had a different intake, a much simpler and straight. It was replaced with a K&N pipe and cone filter anyway...

Could you have just drilled a small hole into the cell at the end rather than unsealing the whole battery?
A 12 volt battery is made up of 6x 2 volt cells each cell has its own fluid.
@@FAB7362 But it was a new battery eh? so it was only broken on that bottom corner and so only one cell would have needed repair?
@@BrotherRobb Thats right, but I just wanted to check all the cells. And it was an experiment.
Is the glue sticks that you used just a normal glue stick was just wondering the acid wouldn't eat that away would it ???
I used the black glue sticks as they are supposed to be the hardest of the glue sticks. There was no problem sealing the tops as they were not in contact with the acid. The hole in the bottom was another story. Long term, I could not get it to stop leaking and later, one of the viewers suggested that plastic welding would have been a better option for the crack exposed to the acid.
Yeah I just had a look you can actually get a glue that is resistant to acid
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Way did you not just drill holes and fill up with the glue gun
Hi. I needed a bigger opening to see the fluid and wanted to minimize contamination from the shavings. Thanks for your question.
I've used that stuff to repair cracked dashes. Magic.
Hey mate - thanks for sharing - tip for anyone watching this one - the local car upholsterer here (also Oz) suggested getting that sticky foam residue off with sugarsoap and a green scourer… was worth half the value of getting the door trim panels redone! 😊
Great tip. Thank you.
I made a promise I would never sell mine
Because of this car I was able to stop work.
how does it sounds like after?
No noticeable power improvements but when it revs above 5000rpm it does have a bit of a growl going on
Does that cooper fuel filter act as a replacement for the genuine filter element?
Also, will brake cleaner slowly deteriorate the filter
Yes, the Cooper fuel filter is the equivalent part.
@@gibbo3238I didn't notice any deterioration of the filter material but after several cleans I noticed the filter was starting to crush as can be seen on the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the response! I’ve order a genuine filter element and I’ll be changing it this weekend
Unfortunately, there is no information about how to run cable from the bottom niche to the dash board... Do you have any tips with this, please?
I would remove the lower plastic trim (scuff panel) on the door opening and you will see that the main wiring harness runs along there. Clip your wiring to them and then replace the plastic cover.
@@FAB7362 Oh, it`s a capital idea!!! I hope that means from driver`s side. Is this harness runs directly to the rear niche where you performed connection, or it needs for an extra hole drilled? Thank you for your vital help!!!
No problem , glad I could help. Usually right hand drive cars run the wiring harness on the right side.@@alexanderchuyko4889
What a beauty! In my favourite colour.
It`s a good tutorial! I have to face the same Ford St. vagon task, excluding a crack :)Can you tell whether it`s necessary to completely remove the bumper in case if we need to install sensors only? It looks like a pretty bulky job. May be there is a chance to do this somehow with the bumper on car, please? If no option, can you specify how you have restored drilled rivets to fix this bumper back? Thank you
Hi there. The bumper is very light and easy to handle. If I just had to install the sensors I would still remove the bumper as there isn't enough room on the inside of you have to secure the sensors in place like I did. The drilled out rivets were replaced with new rivets. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. 👍
@@FAB7362 Yes, that definitely helps. As I see, I have to obtain all the replacement clips and rivets (screvets) before I stars bumper removal (not allowed to drive to a shop without bumper :))) Can you advise, how to specify types or sizes of these fixings I need, please? No one store can define that plastic stuff for Ford Falcon. Instead, asking me to take samples... According to this video, some of them are plastic clips (threaded, fixing mud covers), five top ones, holding bumper at the rear side are push-pull plastic clips, and ... it seems like we have a few metal ones underneath... Do we need for any special tools for fixing them back, or just push them by fingers/pliers? One more what I`m scared about is two nuts under arches... They look like pretty rusty. I understand, I can spray WD 40 prior... But, Is there a chance to broke them? I have no idea whether it can be a big problem in such case...
Great info thank you for taking the time to do this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subscribing.👍
Hi. Nice mod. im thinking of doing this for my 1.6TS. Are you still running this and how are the sounds ? Did you notice any power improvements ?
Hi there. Yes, I still have the car and have more videos to upload but have been very busy. No noticeable power improvements but when it revs above 5000rpm it does have a bit of a growl going on. I want to remove one of the mufflers but the young bloke is driving it now and I don't want to tempt him to drive to fast . lol
Instead of chiseling the top off, simply drill small holes, fill with distilled water, desulfate, charge up and seal the holes with hot glue. Fix the crack on the bottom by plastic welding it with a soldering iron.
That's not a knife!
Can't you try to add water through the vent holes with a syringe?
I was thinking about adding through the vent hole as well. Just not sure about the maze inside the sealed battery
if you wanted to revive that particular type of permanently sealed battery, because it is flat of any life or charge would you be best to open it first so that you could charge it with out exploding, also if it was as flat as,,, could you just replace the acid water, with a solution of distilled water pre mixed with Epsom salts, & would it still need to be charged up whilst it is open so that it is not going to explode, & I know that you said that you cut it open with a grinder, but would that be dangerous if the battery was not new like yours because with an electric grinder, "would that be dicey if, and could a permantently sealed battery have a space / a gap of water missing from the battery due to being evaporated leaving a possible space / gap for acidic vapours or fumes? I would like to repair a battery like that type myself, also I never knew about the different coloured hot glue sticks either, so I am happy that I saw this video, but I'd like to find out a little more before I tried it with a battery that was not easily opened with plugs/ caps, I have heard & watched how some people use some stick welders to utilize the fast amp charging up 5 minutes at about 85 - 100 amps then ten minutes rest with these stages, repeated five times, but I couldn't imagine trying to use that welding principal, on a "permanently sealed battery with no escape of pressure & I haven't seen an example of that exercise in action, a doable method as of yet.
Totally agree about opening up a sealed battery before trying to revive it with a welder. A small hole above each cell would be enough and then resealed with hot melt glue. 👍

where do you this door handle ? I have one key which getting weak and old, i am afraid is gona break soon and it is difficult to find a copy
I bought them online. You should be able to get another key cut at a locksmith.
@@FAB7362 Thank you for the quick reply, I want to buy new lock handle, do you still have that online link ?
@@saidhoussein4856 expedition-imports.com/door-handle-exterior-3817660801/ try these people.
where is your video on the ignition ?
Have you thought of using Water Miser Battery Caps for lead acid batteries with regular fill caps? Ive heard great things about them from RV owners, solar powered homeowners, and industrial companies. It supposed to recycle the gas from the lead acid that would otherwise vent off and evaporate over time, especially in summer heat.
Hi there. Must admit I had not heard of these caps before. I googled them and they look like a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍
You took the cake out of the oven and iced it .....
Evening...just found your video...mine is a leisure battery where I put a screw in bottom and leaked...is this only one cell which is dry. If so when I put water back in do I need to put sulphuric acid in aswell. Also I'll be be using g plastic weld for repair cheers
I think in a pinch that distilled water will do the job. If you want to add some acid a quick search online should give you an idea of how much acid to distilled water would be ideal. Plastic welding is definetly the way to seal the hole. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Many thanks for the reply. The battery is only 2 days old and still got a charge of 11.4 v ...I'll jjst put the water in.
@@joe-sc2vf I would do the same and then just recharge the battery after the repair and refill.
Hi what was the outcome of the battery with the glue stick,any leaks?
The repair on the leak was not successful. I tried JB Weld and hot melt glue stick. The battery was ok but I couldn't risk putting a leaky battery into a car as the leaking acid would ruin the paint. I took the battery to the recyclers and posted the video mainly to show that adding water to a sealed battery was possible then one of the viewers suggested that plastic welding should have been used on the leak and also the top. I agree that the plastic welding would have been better.
Nice work thanks I will be giving some water as well
Thanks for the comment and i'm glad you got something out of it.
@@FAB7362 it worked! Glad too.. water goes a long way ! Clear indicator to black once again . Thanks.

So great to see the hot rods come back. Awesome video. 😊
A very common bearing used in Whirlybirds is the 608ZZ (roller skate bearings) they are always the shielded type that collects dirt as they are not in fact sealed. Get sealed (rubber shield) bearings if you can, they are only a little more expensive. changing them is literally a 5-minute job.
Good job mate. You might have helped me. Its 7 am sand Im due on the roof
Thank you. I am happy this video is helping people out. 🙂
How many kms later u changed the filter element?

Hi Albert - Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦 👋👋 After have 2 belt failures on my 156 and my do. Having a failure in his 147 - both on 2.0L TS - and spending far too much money on getting the engines rebuilt - we find both cars But ….. We both enjoyed our “Little Alfa’s” and we now on the hunt for a really good, leather interior, high disc, low “mileage” version of - coupe 147 But we decided we going to do a comprehensive service on all the consumables, filters, fluids, go with silicone bushes, update the connectivity/sound etc Found your video = top stuff = many thanks 🙏 Matt & Mike
Wow. That's a nice comment. Thanks Matt and Mike glad you found it helpful. I have more videos to upload on the Alfa 147. As soon as I get time I will upload. Thanks for watching.
I know this is an old comment, but where do you get silicone hoses for the Alfas? I've got a 156 that I'm about to do some work on, and was thinking I'd like to refresh as much as possible while I'm in there. I'm in Durban.
