Thanks mate! Have to do the same job on my XJR next week. Big coolant leak from the back of the engine. Pretty sure the source is one of the hoses below the supercharger. Luckily I have a very good mechanic at my side, or rather I'm at his side 😅 Best regards from Germany

Just wanted to give you my experience with Steel Seal. One year ago I put it in a 4-cylinder vehicle in which combustion gases would occasionally overpressure the cooling system and force coolant into the reservoir. It stopped the leaking. After almost a year, a small leak started once again. I contacted Steel Seal and they sent me another bottle free of charge. I put it in a month ago as directed and so far it is holding. The folks at Steel Seal said sometimes it takes two applications.

Hi there. Old Automotive tutor here. Next time, clean the adjuster and put a spot two pot white paint onto the adjustment screw.. Yes, the front has two leading shoes, meaning two cylinders. It's important to keep the brakes adjusted, as that decreases the movement on the cylinder seal cups and hence the wear. If the brakes are in good nick, they will bleed themselves overnight. If not, suspect the foot valve in the master Cylinder. It's there to keep a minimum tension in the system, hence keeping the cups sealed tight.

Seriously useless; don't waste your money. I bought two - the first one hardly worked so I returned for the more powerful option. It uses so many buckets of water for hardly visible results; the hose pipe keeps detaching, the red and green ends fly off, battery life goes down rapidly. Considering the price you may just as well add more money and buy a decent pressure washer that connects to the mains

Mark, I have a 2005 STR with 133K km on it. I've seen the Wheeler Dealer 100K mile jag that had the same coating problem you show. Having fixed EGR, DCCV and the climate control module is being fixed in the US (I'm in Canada) - any idea if, when this could be a problem for me. What's the mileage on your STR? Great videos - my mechanic thanks you, so do I.!!

If anyone accidentally gets brake fluid on the brake disc or drum, just use some brake cleaner and paper towel to wipe it off, it's no biggie, but if it gets onto the brake pads, you need to take the caliper off and clean those too. Like they say about prep, goes a long way... When you stated not to tip brake fluid down the drain, that seriously shouldn't have been necessary. If anyone does vile shit like that, they deserve not to be around anymore. Absolute zero respect for scum like that. Helpful video, cheers.

Why did you not fit the water temperature adapter to the back of the head where the heater hose take off point is? Because the rear of the head is where the greatest heat is normally! I mounted all my gauges in the drives side glovebox cover & used copper capillary tubing from the sender unit connection & rolled the tubing around a bottle to take out any vibrations between the engine & the solid chassis! Having all the gauges in the glovebox cover saved my knees in an accident!

Top tip for a bit more reach in a Midget - fit the wheel to the *back* face of the flange on the boss; it gives about 15mm extra space or if you want to go one step further, you can fit a spacer and longer screws to push it further back. (MotaLita sell spacers/screws intended for bringing the wheel closer to the driver, but these ought to fit the ‘wrong’ side, too) You will obviously need to take the boss off the column to do this, though.

It is quite important, else the gauge reading varies depending on the battery charge level. There is (or at least on 1098cc Minors) a stabiliser fitted to the back of the speedo (to feed the fuel gauge), so you can take the regulated 9V or so feed from there.

You are a tad picky! This power-washer, or any power-washer, is not designed to clean brake dust off. That takes special sprays and elbow grease. This is for washing cars, caravans, etc. If the hose is too short you could always move the bucket. Surely, the longer the hose comes with a reduction in pressure. And, refilling the bucket isn't that big a chore. Is it? Glad you like it though.
