I've got plenty of bits from parkside. Apart from the bench top grinder/belt sander all have preformed fine. The belt sander was just really under powered. Thanks for watching

I know I'm a real horder, but I would like a Cincinnati #2 tool and cutter grinder. You know, because of that acute iron deficiency you diagnosed me with. You need to start you're channel mate. Give me a heads up when you do, and I can literally be your number 1 subscriber

@@smithbuilt you’re right, I need to get on with it. I meant Cincinatti 2 not 4

@coplandjason, yeah, the #2 looks a very flexible machine. Yes, yes, you do. You can be copland overland, lol

I'll be making a new heater for this shed soon, I have a few ideas I want to play with. Thank you very much for following along for the past two years 😀

My heater I installed a sand battery above it. Built from old 7gal. Propane tank. Exhaust pipe from heater goes though tank sand, heating sand and hold heat after oil heater is turned off. Works great. Thanks for sparking the ideas.

@donhippy you are very welcome my friend. Its nice to know people find it useful

I changed over to my old fuse box. The rcds I had are to small

This is rough as guts mate hahaha I love it! Your workshop looks like mine haha! One of your machines probably needs some electrical love, get yourself an insulation resistance tester to suss her out! I haven't seen your old setup but I with D curve CB with and RCD should work for the equipment if it was faulting before IMHO! Have a nice day!

@TradieTrev there's no issues with it I just didn't have any rcds to handle the load. Once I have the funds I'll get some but they will only be for fire protection on 3 of the circuits as a 30ma won't function with the really high load demands of the converter and my welding and plasma equipment But, Ive put a 63amp 30ma onto the standard circuits, lights and 13amp 240v

@@smithbuilt Good to know there's upstream protection.

Yeah, I saved a few bits off it like the die heads that were loaded in the capstan. It's still really upsetting that it got damaged, thinking about it now I probably should have just unloaded it and popped it outside the shed under a tarp and waited to see if a capstan assembly ever came up but, I was in a bit of a shitty mood once I saw it and just felt extremely irritated. Especially as I was told it would be collected with an enclosed truck, not a builders type tipper. Regardless, I'm still really greatfull you thought of me when you needed to part ways with it..... I'd hire a trailer and move it myself if I have to move anything again turned out the "easy way" didn't pay off

Yeah, a lot of jobs were just daunting to think about, let alone actually undertake so I stopped thinking about filming anything for the channel and just tried to clear jobs off the list but, yesterday was nice to achieve a small step in an area that I'm really just happy about. Today is clear up time.... nowhere near as nice lol. Thanks for watching and for being one of the few who always follow along with what im doing 😊

Really nice to know people appreciate it and it helps them out in some way, makes its well worth the effort 👌

Thank you 😊

There is a video where I built a similar heater on the channel

It's a real challenge

@@smithbuilt 😂

Thanks for watching

There's a video on my channel of me building it. Never had plans. I just had an idea and went with it

Hello, if you're onabout getting the manifold out, from memory it's the intake manifold first then exhaust. I do remember it being fiddly but I don't think I had to mess with the turbo

Not something I'm planning on doing sorry. There's to many potential comebacks for things like safety ect

20mm will need a lot of amps. I have a 100amp set that just about cuts 30mm

Heat the area before trying to slide them in It makes it far easier .

It's in the silver/aluminium housing with the large diameter ruber hose connected above the alternator. Simply undo the housing and the thermostat just sits inline

You're welcome

Thanks for watching

@smithbuilt No problem Sir! The bunker doors look spot on too!!

Yeah it's great for mortar removal but it can't cut blocks too good

I'm not sure. I've got a lot on the go and lined up, waiting to get going. I don't know if I want to add to the list. But if I could get the bearing, I'd just pull the gearbox and rebuild the diff. It's only a little one, not like the diffs I've rebuilt on my delicas them things are heavy and a fair amount of work just to get out from under the car. It's half a days work to get this out and swap it. I'll see I'm not that in love with this car, not like my delicas

@@smithbuilt Yeah, it's worse if you're not that happy with something Shane...do what brings the least stress into your life mate.

@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN you're van sounds like stress mate. What on earth did ya break to cost that much?

@@smithbuilt The head gasket blew, then a crack was found in the head itself when tested under pressure, new head plus skimmed, valve work, new timing belt and water pump, a slight modification to the new head, oil, oil filter, coolant, diesel leak fixed and new glow plugs and a new battery. That's about the most of it. Garage prices ain't cheap mate, I was so close to scrapping it tbh. I trust that garage more than others I've been to in the past, so I'm hoping all is good, they've been good in the past (prices edging on the higher end at times but not always) and other folk wait for work from them as going elsewhere can be dodgy.

@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN after my poor experience the first time I ever let a garage touch my car. I'm now completely convinced I can't trust people. Atleast you have a team you can trust. Sounds like you did a number on you're van

It can't be the fly wheel as it would do it all the time and not only when the near side wheel is raised and spun while being driven in gear. Put the near side wheel down and lift the off side and do the same and it's silent

I think CCA is 1100 and it's a 125ah. Can't remember the make. Yes you can swap out the filter with it in place. You might get sore knuckles but you can do it. If I find myself filming next time I need to bleed the system I'll get it on film

@@smithbuiltthanks for the reply! And that’s great info for when I need to replace my batteries down the track. I’ll look into an option like yours. It just seems more practical . Thanks. And look forward to seeing more Delica how too vids also regarding maintenance etc and common issues. There’s not a lot of vids on it… Cheers!

Thanks, I'm still getting used to how to edit stuff ect

@@smithbuilt nope, great video straight to the point no bullsh1t, best of luck with channel from an Irish brickie

You're very welcome

You're very welcome. It's nice to know people appreciate it. Makes it worth the effort of filming it all

No, I just put it on. The manual I use made no mention of it being needed plus there was no evidence of it being used before. I imagine you can use it if it makes you feel better but it's been fine

Just the gasket, I took the head to be pressure tested after I had checked for flatness on my surface plate just to be sure. Thanks for watching I'm glad you liked it

@@smithbuilt​​⁠​⁠between this video and the second one, you cleaned the bloke and left it ready to put the new gasket, would you mind telling me how did you clean ?

I think I did say how much in the video but it was around £60 i think for the gasket kit. The head was my original one I just had it pressure tested to be sure it was good and that was about £40 from memory

Yeah, replacing the timing chain would be a good idea, but, I my opinion, it's best to remove the front cover to do so. I was told you can split the old chain and join it to the new one and pull it through but, I feel there is far to much opportunity for something to go wrong. So I'd remove the bumper, grill, radiators ect then take the timing cover off. You can leave the engine in place and not move the timing and not risk any unforseen issues you might cause you're self. Thanks for watching BTW

It did say on the pack its for concrete blocks ect. But I think softer blocks would be where this blade works best. It's also great for removing mortar around a single brick if you need to remove it

That was only a quick test with my welding extraction turned off for the video. I moved on from this very soon after to far more nicer designs. Thanks for watching

Probably could

Will give it a try if I manage to come across any

You're very welcome, thanks for watching it

Thanks for watching

Right hand drive.

Right hand drive

Thanks for watching. I'll give that a try when I'm back up and running in the new shed

Yeah, yeah I know. It's been said plenty of times. Thanks for watching 🤗

Yeah

Guard? On a reciprocating saw...?hmmmm

@@smithbuilt the grinder you melon

You're very welcome

Yeah I have like half a clue about what I'm doing most of the time, I typically get away with it. Yep the engine has been fine, granted I broke the transfer case 3.5-4k miles after I did the head 😅, really need to fix that 🤔. I miss having my deli

@@smithbuilt wow I've never heard of a transfer case being broken they are supposed to be weapons of things. Well can't wait to see more videos there are only you and 2 others that post these great videos ! Keep it up the Delica clubs need to see your content it's great! I personally know how to change my steering rack because of you!

Unfortunately, not mate. I don't know how they work

@@smithbuilt Cheers pal 👍🏻

Still use mine

I found that it's actually better to keep the feed tube cool to help stop blocking. The heating and cooling just causes crudd to accumulate in the tubes, but the extra heat can help the oil to burn better, it depends on if you're willing to keep cleaning it out vs having to get more heat in the chamber for start up
