Hi there Asking for a friend. Would sun damage like this be able to buff/polish out (professionally, obviously)? Or does this require repainting?

Hi there The other day someone mentioned one of these to me. I initially thought that they can only read codes, but seems that one can also read sensor values and things with the right app. I want to use it on my 2008 D-teq Isuzu and the wife's Jazz. Does anyone have experience with these...

Interesting video. And even though the test condition is not typical use, it does give some indication of how well the nuts are holding on.

Dinge gaan nie altyd soos n mens beplan nie en meeste van die tyd is daar ook nie noodwendig geld of tyd vir pret en plesier nie, maar toe die effenste geleentheid weer opkom het ek en die vrou besluit ons gaan wys vir die kinders (en die honde) Oupa se plaas. Nou net as n tipe vrywaring; die...

Morning I need some advice. My bakkie, KB300 D-teq has about 280k on the clock. It has only had normal services and never gave problems, but recently feels a little pap. Mostly when the engine is cold. The idle also feels a bit more vibraty than what it used to feel (for a diesel). So I spoke...

My day started a bit funny, and I even forgot my laptop at home and only noticed it when I got to the office... 38km from home. So I had to go back home to fetch it. On my way there was an accident on the N1 North just after between Buccleuch and Allandale. I only noticed the vehicles in the...

OK, so let's say I were to get a small commuter bike to "save" money. It is not replacing a vehicle and is additional to what I currently have. I also do not have any kit or a valid license and would like some input on these to make an accurate calculation. Obviously there is some risk involved...

No, I don't want to clean out the inside of the tank. I have a problem that the tank makes a strong vacuum as the level drops. I seem to recall that when replacing the diesel filter previously, some diesel would run out from the pipe to the filter, but this past weekend it sucked air back into...

Hi there Someone asked me if I would be able to make new door cards for a Mk1 Golf. Basically just cutting new hardboard cards using the old water damaged cards as template, but I am not very comfortable with this idea. Scared I might screw it up. Anyone have any advice or tips? Alternatively...

Hi I guess this is probably the wrong place to ask if buying any bike is a good idea, but here goes. I am currently using the Gautrain while my car in at the panel beater. I never thought it would take so long to complete a simple job, but unfortunately I cant speed up the panel beaters and...

Hi guys. I am gatvol of the float switch causing issues on my grey water pump system. So my plan is to swap it out for a tiny level sensor circuit with a relay. That way only the water and the pump impeller are moving parts. Please see (paint) circuit below.

The title is confusing on purpose  :biggrin: I don't have a lot of confidence when reversing my bakkie towards another vehicle so I am looking for the reversing mirror that you mount on your rear window/canopy window in order to look down at your bumper when reversing. I am not interested in a...

Hi guys I guess this might be too old tech for most people, but are there guys on here with first hand experience and would one still be able to get carbon rods in South Africa? Or even the complete torch. Reason I am asking is because I have an AC oil bath welder that would be suitable to do...

Hi guys Youngster at my work bought a boat and now wants to put up a wake tower jobbie, but wants to make his own rather than spending R8k on a new one. As seen in the pictures below. So where can he have 50mm stainless bent similar to the photo in Kempton? Thanks

Hi there Can anyone tell me if the Delphi connectors (like in the links below) comes with the pins/bushes? https://za.rs-online.com/web/p/automotive-connectors/8010761/ https://za.rs-online.com/web/p/automotive-connectors/8010771/ I would like to add some wiring to my Corsa and these are the...

Hi guys I am looking for a 4-wire/heated Lambda sensor. I would like to convert my Corsa Utility 1.4 from a singe wire sensor to 4-wire as an experiment. So looking for a cheapish sensor. Anyone know where I would be able to get one in Centurion? Thanks

Hi guys I have a few ideas that I would like to try out with some old motorcycle chain, but only if I could get it for free. Maybe some steel sprockets could also come in handy. Anyone in Centurion or Edenvale have a few old chains in your way? Please let me know. Thanks

Hi guys As per title, I came across this video of Headlight Revolution where the guy explains why certain types of replacement bulbs are utter crap and what you should look for if you plan on buying LED bulbs for your headlights. I am not a big fan of changing something like incandescent...

Hi there I will always try to keep busy, especially on weekends. To me, a weekend with nothing to show for the time, is a weekend wasted. Even if I just mow the lawn. Between family responsibilities and the wife's requests around the house, I make time to do a few things for myself. So...
