Isuzu Dmax Wet Footwell Fix
Просмотров 2483 месяца назад
After finding my front and rear passenger side footwell's literally soaking in water, I set about trying to find the source of the leak. Forums had suggested a leaking windscreen seal, clogged drain below the windscreen & loose A/C drain. It was none of those. It turned out that the high level rear brake light on the back of the cab was leaking water into the cabin. A 2 minute fix using Clear S...
Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 303777 16hp V-Twin Rebuild Part 2
Просмотров 7373 месяца назад
After a long delay!! I've finally got back to trying to rebuild this engine. A mistake on my part ordering the wrong pistons, a massive delay in receiving the correct ones and the complexities of life in general mean that I'm picking up this project 9 months after I last worked on it. The end is in sight (hopefully!)
Skoda Octavia VRS 2011(Gen. 2) Rear Wiper Motor Replacement
Просмотров 3 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Short video of me changing out the rear windscreen wiper motor on my Octavia VRS. The washer jets had stopped a while ago, I presumed they were blocked or a hose had come loose, then the wiper itself started stopping mid way through it's cycle. The replacement is now on and working well - I hadn't realised there was an integral washer pump in the motor either. Hope this helps if you've similar ...
Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 303777 16hp V-Twin Engine Repair (from Stiga Park Pro 16)
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
When my Stiga Park Pro engine went Bang!, my local repair shop offered to scrap it (the entire mower!) as repairing it could cost too much. I obviously said no, took it home and started searching for a 2nd hand engine to fit. But my mind got the better of me and I thought 'What could be wrong with it? Could I fix it myself?' This is the 1st part of the saga. It's a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard ...

Просмотров 19 тыс.Год назад
Quick little video showing how I changed out the Wing Mirror Indicator Units on my 2012 (Gen. 2) Skoda Octavia VRS. All you need is a Torx screwdriver, some gentle persuasion and a bit of patience - be careful not to snap any of the clips. The passenger side that I changed out once I'd finished recording took less than 5 minutes.

Bottling This Year's BlackBerry Liqueur (BlackBerry Infused Brandy)
Просмотров 72Год назад
Bottling this year's BlackBerry Brandy. As explained in my 'How to make' video, you shouldn't leave the fruit in for too long as it'll sour the taste of the Brandy. Here I'm taking the fruit out and bottling it just over a fortnight after initially jarring it all.
How To Make BlackBerry Liqueur (BlackBerry Infused Brandy)
Просмотров 2332 года назад
My simple guide to making homemade BlackBerry Liqueur/Infused Brandy. From picking the Blackberries to getting it all together in a jar took about 2 hours - luckily I had everything together that I needed. This was: 2lbs Blackberries, 2lb Granulated Sugar, 1 Ltr Brandy, 2x 1.5Ltr Kilner Clip Top Jars. Have a go and wait for the results - definitely worth the wait.

Tire size and ET?
Realy good explained! I gonna do same job with my vanguard because same failure. Many thx cheers from sweden👍
Wow thats some serious destruction. Fair play for diving on in there . Best of luck with the rebuild . I run two of these old 303777 Briggs in Allen Mustangs
Hi mate any more tips on removing the wiper as been wiggling a jiggling for a while after removing the 13mm nut, doesn't want to budge. Cheers
Possibly just put a squirt of wd40 on it, then maybe put something on the glass to protect it and use something to gently lever it up around the edges. If I remember rightly, the lug is sits on is slightly tapered with small grooves so it is pretty tight on there
I had same issue. But wasn't able to remove it. So, used a two-arm wiper arm removal tool from amazon.
Thanks man, really handy guide. I'd have definitely fucked my mirror otherwise 😂
Why would you add the sugar for the infusion?
Thank you 👍🏻
Way to much sugar for me, half that amount and it will still be very sweet.
Cheers James of Cosh Love Mark of Milf
Any use for the left over sloes once they have done their magic, compost bin, animal feed, any ideas?
@@jamesofcosh67 that will do. As long as they avoid the bin. Thanks for reply
I've Still Got my 1999 93 Hot Aero Coupe I bought mine in 2009 and have had 3 cars since but this one I've just kept for occasional use. If you haven't already You might want to check the bulkhead for cracking (common fault on ALL OG 93s) and fit an Abbott Steering rack brace ( or a copy one) not only does it prevent the bulkhead cracking it also reduces torque steer. I also had 95 Aero disks and Calipers fitted to mine as the brakes are a bit scarey when you need to apply them in a hurry. don't get me wrong they work they just don't inspire any confidence. Mine needs tracking ad Brake fluid Changing and an oil leak where the engineis blanked off where the distributer used to go on the 900 models
Good tip about taking the fruit out after 2-3 weeks. You kept it simple. Am going to try it in a few days! Thanks
Best of luck with it. Possibly try 2 batches with different quantities of Sugar - I and many others like my Brandy and Gin with the ratios I use - but I've had some that find my gin too sweet but I've never had a complaint with the Brandy
promo sm 😝
Awesome video, thank you!
what does OG mean?
OG means old generation. If I'm correct the OG's were this shape and made between 1998-2002/3. They were then replaced by the NG (New Generation) made from 2003-2012. They were the different shape and I think shared a chassis with the Vauxhall Vectra.
Cheers to homemade cider , we just subscribed after your video found us . We love to brew beer grow some hops, make mead and different wines and others on our channel . Stay thirsty friend and make good cider.
wow that's a lot of sugar I do about 1/2 that but each to their own!
Very light in colour m8 usually means too much sugar to sloes. Each to their own of course and an awesome drink, use your spent sloes with brandy to get the most from them tastes great. My personal favourite is blackberry vodka , stunning on its own and ready in just a month 👍
nice one I also have a still (air still) been using for about 5/6 years now it is a very rewarding hobby
Thanks, picked sloes today in Liverpool & looking for exactly this
No probs at all.
