TBH, I'd have given you two options - 'hope for the best' and 'replace the lot'. The reason being that there would be as much, if not more corrosion on the inside of the aluminium components and the filter-drier would be saturated, never mind the... -

Both my rear door window trims have seen better days. The other day at breakers there were both sides available in better nick than mine so whilst there got my hand in pocket and splashed out. First step today was to get old ones out. Its easier... -

No you don't - you can also tell you don't as there are only 3 wires connected to the height sensor, on the L322 the sensor has two separate circuits in it, one for the suspension & one for the ARC system so you would have 6 wires connected if...

Nah, about right for a v8! Rear crank seal; front crank seal; front cover gasket; valley gasket; sump gasket; sump drain plug washer; oil cooler pipe unions; oil cooler; rocker gaskets. Use Sh!tpart and you can have endless fun replacing them...

Well first coat of high temperature caliper primer is on. Think it will Probabaly need a second coat before a top coat but I will keep this updated with how it turns out. Went for gun metal grey in the end as a colour because everything else I...

For small or delicate parts, I tend to use an ultrasonic parts cleaner with the parts & the cleaning fluid in a Ziploc bag with deionised water filling the remaining space in the cleaning bath. I suspect that may be a step too far into the future...

i washed some SU carbs and a few other parts in my girlfriends dishwasher once, lathered them up with degreser, double tablet and hottest setting. After a few days her parents found out, i assume due to thier plates tasting funny and sooh after...

Powered - not powdered as in used in a drill, die grinder etc. A hand wire brush tends to trap contaminants which you're then rubbing over the freshly exposed surface, leaving micro-contaminants, a wire wheel will fling the muck off as it rotates...

A man very much after my own heart. First did this some 30 years back on my old Daimler v8250. The now ex-wife came back early from shopping, she went ballistic as the whole house smelled of 180degC baked on caliper paint. She had no sense of...

Don't forget temperature... I never got mine done, only local specialist couldn't be bothered to do a proper job, just.. 'hope for the best', which for a system that had an unknown amount of old oil in it and been open for years, didn't sound great
-
It only took one can to fill my P38 to the correct low side pressure per the instructions and it worked fine for about 13 years until the performance started to drop off.

Injector fitted, borrowed a seat cutting kit, never used one before and not got to use this one either, biggest cutting head was too small in diameter so I cleaned it up best I could. Think I might have found why I was getting air leaking from...

It snowed approx. 7 cm and it is 4 degrees below zero. No repairs today. I have an extra 270W solar panel. I think I'll put it on the wall with the controls and cable from it to the car plug. I defend the 270W panel, it might produce enough...

20watt with a charge controller, but where you are 50 watt may be more appropriate. The panels can be found for about £20 and the controller from AliExpress for £6

If the system is empty, then there is a leak - and it's illegal (and a waste of money) to recharge a system known, or suspected to be leaking. Granted, it's unlikely you'd be caught, but there's sound reasons why it's illegal and there is a £5k...

Your understanding is incorrect - refrigerant charge is done solely by weight, pressure varies in a static system dependent upon temperature and by temperature differential when running. It's possible to achieve the required pressure differential...

Mark Piercy reacted to Graculus's post in the thread Orange coolant hard to find! Options? with Like.
Yes, beware of HOAT though as it's sometimes a bit 'corrosive' in too high a concentration, which you'll be wanting for maximum protection. I'd suggest just draining rather than flushing as you'll then have an unknown quantity of water in there...
