DIY Car Maintenance with function over finesse!!

[mickthemaverick]

The first component for my project has arrived today and will be mounted on the shelf between the power outlets!!

Is it a variable matrix glitch control to sort out the 'diy/motoring function over finesse' thread merging ...most confusing

Sorry Skull, this latest post refers to the project I began before we transferred Ryan's exhaust issue here!! More to come on my project very soon, any more guesses are welcome

Is that the adjustment potentiometer for the Planck's Constant recalibration device?

The next clue proper will be along shortly but here's the unit installed:

The next clue proper is here!!

I'll grab some photos tomorrow, I'm determined to fix her as I have 1 car and 0 roadworthy at the moment. That means Matt's 7 cars and 2 roadworthy, percentage wise, is beating me!!!

Woohoo! It's a hollow victory to be honest!

Sorry I've nothing definitely constructive to add.

Rough ideas:
- split rear section from DPF to reduce weight that's is fighting you?
- daft question, but you are attempting to hold both ends of it? I.e. nut and the "ball end" both. Think is 10 mm hex on both ends. The bolt will spin in the recess in the exhaust flange.
- nut splitter to disable the nut without caring if it spins?

Nut splitter!! Why didn't I think of that, thx I'll look into it

[Rp0thejester]

Mick, why are you running up a strimmer head? Using what I would call a variable resistor?

[mickthemaverick]

There's a bit more than just the pot in the blue box but that's to allow it to handle 4kW without melting! As to why that is part of the ongoing guessing game!!

[Rp0thejester]

Is it to control the speed of your electric jack?

[mickthemaverick]

That's a good thought Ryan but no, the jack is 12V DC.

[Rp0thejester]

I'm not good with electrics but wattage is to do with power drawn?? So that makes me think it's gonna be under load at some point. So I'm thinking....tyre inflator!!

[mickthemaverick]

Yes I like your thinking, which is on the right lines but not tyre inflater. I will add another visual clue tomorrow when another parcel arrives!

[mickthemaverick]

Just waiting for one more component so I can start assembly but here's a mock up which should give the game away!!
