I'm not a professional mechanic but this is what I've read previously: Pushing the brake piston back in, without opening the bleed nipple can reverse the seal in the master cylinder, In (some) VW cars (I'm not sure about others) allowing all the vrake fluid to drain out of the system requires a software procedure to bleed the abs unit. Keeping the brake pedal slightly depressed which the braking system is open will keep the brake fluid from draining out of the master cylinder. Good work getting it fixed & thanks for sharing.

You don't need ABS, just join out the pipes.

nice tip

Looks great Andy. Time will tell.

Hi Andy. How to replace the protective resin?

For jbd BMS, I can't recommend the overkill solar android application enough to monitor and adjust settings. The Prius battery is interesting but I wonder if it's cost effective against lithium.

I was advised by a Kia technician to charge my Niro once in a while with the granny charger to help equalise the batteries

i am watching you from INDIA😳😳😳👍👍👍

You have to watch out for those urban gorillas!

You’ve probably watched this KZbinr Andy but just in case take a look at how he reviews this little Lithium battery it’s fantastic, unfortunately the Brand is not available in UK…kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3XOe2qJppdkh9ksi=HGVioLjiYyJ_-lXL

Thank you I have 6 tools not working I'll now fix batteries

We At is the size of lock ring of top gear?

Hi Andy, slightly off subject, May I ask your advice regarding batteries in my boat..? at the moment I have 3x130ah AGM approximately 3 years old, they appear ok but because I have a 240v under counter fridge powered by my 2000w inverter I have to top them up every day by running main engine or a petrol genny ( solar not much good now)… I’m considering buying “one” 300ah Lithium battery with a BMS and maybe installed heater to assist charging in cold weather, would I gain from the fact Lithium can be drained to 80%+ over the AGM..? Any advice would be appreciated thanks Andrew

The Poe thing is a power injector also has a receiver with the intention of powering a router or camera with only needing a single ethernet cable handy for long runs. A power supply is connected at one end with the Ethernet cable passes through the power injector box and sends the power along the Ethernet cable and then another box at the other end you take the power out of it and connect it to your device

Not 70 years old yet! Late 1957. A very good tractor, I spent many hours driving one when I was about 10yrs old.👍🇬🇧

Brilliant. Thank you

You spend your youth buying tools to complete jobs. Pleased to of collected so many tools and supplies, then you get old and start to wonder how much longer you will have the physical ability to use the tools. Its sad to think after we are gone, most of our tools will be thrown away. Why are tou men not the same.

Don’t think I can watch all of this. I had to empty my dear ole dad’s large shed (annexed room on the end of the house). Tools I grew up with and many ‘hand-me-downs’ from my granddad, great granddad, etc. I kept most of the specials including a garden spade which my dad used daily, that is worn to only a few inches in depth. That spade has dug some ground, let me tell you. 😔

How many watt solar panels should I connect

I keep an old NiMh charger near my 'intelligent' version. If a battery reads "null" on the display, a few seconds in the old charger gives enough p.d. to overcome whatever threshold the ne version requires.

The first KZbinr I could find that has shown the gubbins inside. Thanks.

Victron units are high quality and have repair information and resources available for trained installers Victron will also help and the ceo is very helpfull and personally assists in some cases. do you want the repair guide. THis is not a corperate stratergy VE bus and VE direct ports are different for good reason ve direct allows simple serial communication between devices and some adapters saving cost and it is a standard connector. VE bus is very expensive hence the difference they often also give replacments when the units fail

The small connector to HDMI around 16m in probably goes in one of the camcorders as AV out for viewing on TV screens. Cable at 17m in is a USB printer cable. Cable at 24.40ish looks like a full sized firewire cable - possibly off a Mac. Most of the cameras look modern(ish) ie probably no more than 10-15 years old. One or two might be worth keeping if you have a need for a long optical zoom as few phones have as much as 32x etc or could be fun for kids to play with if they take relatively modern media (a local school might take them if they work). Sony always did good prosumer gear. Would focus on the HD/1080 ones. But trade off on time/money invested and likely return. Most cameras tend to get abandoned because of new tech/a drop has busted something.

Hi Andy, I still have a Sony “Handycam” camcorder which I bought new in 1984.. takes small cassettes.. I don’t use it but it still has footage from those times and indeed on 3 other tapes I bought with it. It’s amazing how technology renews so quickly. I still have a VHS recorder/ player as well again I don’t use it but it reminds of days gone by… these items are all reminders of our lives and I’m afraid I hate throwing stuff…( I have a 1952 Bush valve radio which works but no longer puts out wonderful music from the “light program” and of course “the Goons Show” etc… sad eh…👍🏻

I have a B275 diesel and still use it to do many jobs like crushing rubble with the PTO and have a fork lift attachment used on a daily basis to traverse muddy ground. The only issue I have is that the double clutch does not disengage the PTO maybe cos the drive plate is sticking The DPA fuel pump is still in good order and parts are readily available. I hope all other parts are still available..

Can simply get a new fan? I’m stuck in slow speed one!

note that these victrons 12/24V batt detection only works the 1st time. Then needs to be setup via interface.

I had a batt positive post overheat on the post and partially melted inside on my 100/50 due to cable being slightly loose. Was able to tighten it one last time and can't touch it any more (bolt almost falls inside now). Would be great if Victron allowed their product to be repaired, if i have future issues with it, its almost a scrap it scenario.

I had to bite the bullet and buy a (new)phone.... replaced my 9 year old one with a three year old one.... lol we dont need you in 4k...1080p is a fine...upgrade but if you upgrade one... more follow..... but as you know we never bin the old... still got my nokia 3310..with a sim card adaptor and some fiddling still works for calls... no tik tok on it though lol keep on..

Hey Andy, Interesting talk. I just emailed Owen the other day asking if he had any ideas about sealing an outer drum on a washing machine that had a large crack in it. The washer is HUGE with an 18KG load capacity bought broken for £100 from facebook. I managed to get a replacement front outer drum and repair it all (video soon). The bearings were like nothing I've seen before, so badly worn a lot were like hemispheres. I like yourself have always fixed my own cars and things, I think that a lot of people these days either don't have the skills or inclination to even find out how to do stuff, and would rather just toss something and buy a new one. I'm a great believer in self resilience and reliance. I always like having "backups" of things, like solar, and a backup generator (or two) for when the grid goes down for instance. We've also got our own water supply although it still works out fairly expensive due to replacing filters / UV tubes and having to buy salt for the filter that removes tannins from our water as it's very brown or yellow otherwise. I think that's 3 washing machines we have now.. I've still got another to look at when I get time 😂😂 Best wishes Mick.

no it was scary, it was whaop spark spark

The spark and whoap. classic

This video looks crisper, very nice

Hi Andy, that parasol mushrom, i eat them but they can upset your digestion system, all depends where they grow if its some sort of dump site with hemicals or all sort of contamination they will be toxic little bit.

Is the charge controller in the phone or the battery? Perhaps putting the battery back and then just try charging. I find a “ Charge Doctor” in the output of the charger is very useful .

Hi Andy… I love the way you casually left the charger on with cables dangling off bench…😂.. yes I know it was set for low so probably no more than trickle charge setting therefore no real danger.. I enjoyed the “demonstration” how to wake up a small battery ( although my lack of confidence wouldn’t have tried that)… I wish I understood the technicalities of how that worked 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just commited to buying a 48v 345AH forklift battery, friend collecting it tomorrow. Hope I've done the right thing, been undecided for a while. Hopping to charge it off an engine using 180AMP 24v alternator.

👍

Parasol mushrooms Andy probably shaggy parasol. Not edible👍

Great view on not hoarding stuff move it on or recycle, if not been touched for ages. There are always sources available out there.

True parasol, enjoy dude!

I will think differently watching web content regarding how good these products are said to be, as they are not very sustainable, which I think is a very important part of what they claim to represent, they could do more to save our planet. keep up the good work.

Macrolepiota procera or Amanita phalloides ...

Thanks COOP ...

Why are the switches why are the switches not all one way?

Watching you fix there’s, I’m sure you’d be the best person to fix my generators inverter. I messaged buy it fix it, but he’s saying it’s only a hobby 😢

Hi you don’t show how the cam pully came off

Cheers Andy, I'll keep my ears open.

Mind blowing stuff for us uneducated Andy… electronics ie inverters/ chargers/ mppt controllers are my Achilles heel… I’m ok with basic DC set ups but inside an inverter to me is like brain surgery! Thanks for the insight though 👍🏻

Hi Andy ,do you actually repair inverters ,i saw an earlier video some time ago ,you condemned a faulty relay ,relating to fault code ,not starting up ,i actually purchased the relays and holders ,but to be honest probably beyond my capabilitys
