Where did you get the software on your laptop from please ?
@AtypicalWorkshop 3 күн бұрын
The software is called FORScan - it’s free but you’ll need the extended license 2 month trial forscan.org/download.html You’ll also need this diagnostic cable: www.bmdiag.co.uk/forscan-diagnostic-cable-for-ford-vgate-vlinker-fs Don’t buy the cheap ELM one on eBay as it won’t work properly

I know it's been a while for you, but time doesn't exist on the internet. What a fantastic resource, thank you! I was planning to just attach the camera to the rear light wire, but your solution seems a bit less firehazardy.
@AtypicalWorkshop 3 ай бұрын
Cheers Rick, I appreciate the kind words even after all this time (or no time 😁). I found it to be a worthwhile time investment once I’d figured out which wire went where! It’s a more future-proofed solution too - if it fails, the modification is fairly accessible instead of being hidden behind the van conversion

@AtypicalWorkshop 3 ай бұрын
@@RickMeijer Great news! I'm very much building stuff still, just haven't had the time to do much on my van for ages. I made good progress towards the end of last summer and filmed a bunch but the weather turned before I was done, so there's a fair bit more to make and film, and a whole lot more to edit! I also had to replace my sills in november in time for mot (also filmed and edited, just not yet released), so there's a fair amount in the pipeline, just hopefully sooner rather than later haha

Firstly i personally wouldn't use timber on a van floor it has no R rating 🤔 Paint with truck bed paint after thoroughly cleaning and treating any rust spots the cover with the insulation boards you would use under a concrete slab ,it has a very high compression rating, simply cut to size and glue to the floor with sikoflex ,then cover with 8mm ply again stuck with sikoflex ,this way you get No thermal bridging 😊 Plus you can drive over that insulation board with ya van and it wont compress so your floor will always remain flat,unlike the normal kingspan which over time will sag slightly when walked on 😊
@AtypicalWorkshop 5 ай бұрын
Some good points here! In many ways this would be superior to what I’ve done, but I wanted to be able to remove the floor without any hassle, so gluing everything down wasn’t an option 👍

at 06:40, when you used acetone to clean off the old silicone etc, did it not take the top layer of paint off as well?

Don’t quote me on this, but I think that the lacquer on the paint does a sufficient job at protecting it. I tried less aggressive stuff like white spirit first but it didn’t do much. Sorry for the late response, hope that’s helpful :)

Thank you for your video, gave some inspiration, so much so, i bought a genuine set off ebay, followed your instructions and everything fitted, took me ages to get it to work because i didnt out a fuse in 56 or 57 i think, soon as i did that, perfect. Things i woukd have done differently doing it again, save metal clips from behind actual switch, connect plug from loom through the door first, i had everything set up but plug doesnt fit through door, plug first, wires through door. But again, without your video, i woukdnt have even tried it so thank you 👏👏👏

@AtypicalWorkshop Жыл бұрын
Hi Simon. I believe this is the one I got: batteriesandsolar.co.uk/products/phono-bumper-mount-camera?_pos=2&_sid=fb2df6832&_ss=r You can get them cheaper on eBay but some of them do not allow you to disable the parking lines overlay. Problematic if your head unit has some built in too. I actually found this style of camera to have too narrow a field of view, rendering it pretty useless unless for reversing through a narrow gate for example. Works well enough for a simple parallel park mind. Good luck and thanks for your comment :)

I'm going to do the same repair on my Getz, both front dust shields are pretty bad. Though, i wont remove the whole knuckle from the car. But, how much did you cut off the shield, in order to pry it on?
@AtypicalWorkshop Жыл бұрын
Yeah definitely don’t remove the knuckle, was a nightmare 😂. I used an angle grinder, though I guess you could use some metal snips, jigsaw perhaps. I couldn’t open it wide enough with one cut though - I had to gradually remove more material/make the opening wider until I could pry it on without it feeling like it was bending too much. Hope that helps and good luck! 👍

It is a great use of surplus trays, but I could not stand the clash of colours... I am with you on wanting a productive workshop, but tools in trays behind cupboard doors is not optimum. Tool on wall- reach out and grab. Return by putting back. One step each. Tool in tray- open door, pull tray, get tool (2 hands needed, tray support required) push tray. close door. Return open door, pull tray replace tool, push tray, close door (you won't, you will leave it on a surface) Five steps each. For lesser used items, Drawers are 2 step. We all love free stuff, but sometimes it leads us astray. A better candidate for them is those screws- tubs add a further step to access, and you cannot beat seeing them arrayed to choose the right one.
@AtypicalWorkshop Жыл бұрын
It was irritating that there wasn’t an even split between yellow and blue haha. I think you’re certainly right regarding the efficiency, but for this it’s at least a step in the right direction - most of these tools were spread across the garage in various containers, now I know where they are! I think the potato salad containers used for screw storage are too deep for my drawers. I like being able to see exactly which screw is in each container from above, so I’ll have to make some that convey this without the need for a lid
