I've seen worse 👍

"nothing to lose" is a much underrated motivation lol! Glad to see your shoulder has healed up nicely, all the best for 2025 pal :-)

Craig had his head sharpened!

@24:56 Jings, Crivvens, Help ma boab! Has that boy Hudson been around with his clippers? Nae wonder yer cauld!

Great video, and short back and sides, 😊

Great job, enjoy watching you tinker away. I have a question about your jumper, where’s it from ? 😅watching with the other half and he said ooo that looks cosy.

Ya can buy repair kits for em Craig I ad a hcalory 1 for years top tip buy a spare 1 in summer loads cheaper 🍻🫡👍

You need to get some dayglow green dye for you Mohawk!

Crack I’ve just got me a maxspeedingrods night heater split type not all in one like yours 8kw very good price on amazon I think I paid a smidge over £100 it’s cheaper to get a new one than repair

Good job on that heater. With stuff from a certain country' it can be that the quality of the part is rubbish and/or the assembly is poor, like little or no lubrication. Those small motors have either ballrace bearings or oilite bearings. You can get either very cheaply so I would not throw that old part away but would attempt to fix it as the next spare.

Fascinating. I also would try to do that sort of thing. I've got two dehumidifiers, different sizes, each of which have a fan. Both fans went noisy - probably supposed to chuck the whole thing and get a new one. The fans are basically computer fans, and not high quality ones either. One large, one small. Got replacements off eBay, job done!

hi just buy a new motor of e bay .👀

What happened to your head Craig? 🤔

Mine failed it was reporting glow plug failure, But it was the control board. Changed it worked again but had to translate the Chinese icon at the terminals were in a different place !

25:06 - fuck me, it's David Beckham!

Good job matey, great stuff.

Might some gun blue/black work on the levers?...

Gotta love a good bodge!😁 Always worth trying to fix something - I hate chucking stuff out. Love the Mohican!

I’m glad you did that, I always prefer when someone else makes the mistakes before I do! Also, the new hair doo is fantastic!

King of the Mohicans, Big Chief Tenbellies :D

Well done Craig...

Well done Craig your the man stay warm and safe mate 😅

Well done Craig. So much stuff is made 'sealed for life'. Unfortunately that does not mean 'last forever'.

Helpful vid there Crag.... just out of interest, I've been looking at buying one of these, how long does a tank of fuel last... average ???

Repair work always to do Crag🤙

sgt bash. at it 😂

Another win in the war against built in obsolescence. (I expect Blue arrived when the temperature in the shed got warm enough for him.)

Superman!!!!

Hey Craig, save yourself a load of cash. STOP using diesel and find someone who sells kerosene. 69p a litre or £1.37 for diesel. I've got 3 of the same heaters and totally agree with all the comments about cleaning it out once a year. You were only a couple of screws away from making it double its heat output by cleaning the combustion chamber.. Just make sure you wear rubber gloves.

Can't beat a bit of bodgery fixing stuff. 👍

Haircut lookin good Craig,you suit it. If they're ever looking for a baddie for the next Mad Max film I'm sure they'll give you a call.

If it fails again You can still repack it with Grease and put a gromit Made of some fetl tipe material that soakes in the Grease and prevent it from melting down or be washed away too soon, i saved some electric engines , Even submerged washer pumps with brushless motor packed in white rockol Grease.

I like fixing thing too because I am of that vintage BUT these days stuff is NOT designed with repairability in mind and hence you sometimes just can't take things apart without breaking them etc and to make matters worse even IF you could and find the faulty part 9 times out of 10 you can't just buy THAT part alone, you have to buy the whole assembly. Its all because we have evolved into a through away society especially in the Western world instead of repairing. Your heater is a good example, you can't get to the bearing to just change that and even if you could it is much cheaper to just buy the whole assembly for 18 quid.

Roight! Happy New Year! Wig looks fresh!

WAIT A MINUTE?!?!?! When did the hair go?!?!

Well done Craig, it's always good to keep something going, I didn't think you would fail. Cheers

That was very interesting! First wee diesel heater I have ever seen. I see Amazon (Canada) has them from 119 to 500 dollars Canadian . I may get one for my shed. What brand is the one you have Craig? If I could get 4 years out of it I would be thrilled. Stay warm and Well. Cheers!

Best to give these a service every year, clean the combustion chamber out check the glow plug etc. The gaskets seem to need replacing everytime you take them apart. Joshua De Lisle here on youtube has some interesting videos on diesel heaters and modifying them, well worth a check even just for a bit of an insight of how to take them apart.

Take the glow plug out and give it a good clean down and also the air intake because it’ll choke the life out of these little heaters if they’re left uncleaned.

clean the combustion chamber out mate and also the fuel air intake loads of videos on it make sure to remember the mesh in the fuel intake very important that's clean

Evening fella did you get a chance to check out the messages I sent you about all the enfield stuff I sent you ? Anyway happy new year mucker

Fuck sake Hudson

Nice save until you need to fit the new part. Maybe put a bit of filter material over the intake when you fit it to keep the worst of the dust out

lmfao did you say togeva = togeather fing = thing free = three anover = another fankyou = thankyou 🤷‍♂

Great vid on the diesel fix! You have done the world a huge favour by getting rid of that pony tail ! I have a special sticker for the beautiful bullet motorcycle and if? I win it you can have it after one ride from me !! Cheers me dears, rock and roll !

Good on ya Craig. Make do not mend. 😃 This throw away world isn't right. BIG 👍

I've got the exact same model of heater. Your repair tutorial could well come in handy at some point.. Cheers.

Hi Craig. How cheap or expensive on electric would you say it is to run?

Hi Craig. I've had one of these heaters in my shed for a couple of years. I nearly gave up with mine, as the pumps kept failing after a few hours running. Now on my fourth pump, and touch wood, it seems to be ok. I think you did the right thing by not choosing the cheapest replacement part, as the first couple of pumps I bought were 'cheapies' and turned out to be duff. All the best with the shoulder, I'm waiting for my second replacement hip. This getting old bit is no fun!

Noisy heater. Tear apart, grease up, reassemble. Sorted 😎
