Thanks for the comment! Welcome to the channel 😀

Thanks for the comment! I hoping to bring lots of stuff to the channel in time hopefully with a nice range of problems, repairs & vehicles.

Can’t wait mate

Thanks for the comment, looking online it seems to be quite a common issue, another issue they seem to suffer from is diesel leaking through one of the fuel sensors and running through the wiring into the ecu and filling it with diesel. As for the battery I think it may have a drain on the system, where I had been working around the car with the doors open I think this also impacted on the voltage when cranking as all the interior lights were on and a few other components running. Fingers crossed we can bring it back to life as these are a great car.

Thanks for the comment! welcome to the channel 😀

Thanks for the comment 😁 I will take a look into one of these!

Welcome to the channel 😀 thanks for checking it out

So far so good, really glad I brought one and should of done it sooner

@@TurningSpannerz bought one today and can't wait to get it 😃 had an hard time deciding if these newer model are as good as the old one (cp1202) that hase 1000 of good reviews. Only time will tell. Yours seems to hold up so that's feels good !

@@johansundin4054 Nice one 😁 yes my one has been great, I don't use it to break things loose as that can damage the internals but its great for running things up & down. I am looking to get some other tools in the range.

Thanks for the comment, I used a combination of the two and ended up using the worktop as a datum as the socket below was not level 🤦‍♂

@@TurningSpannerz 😂

Thanks mate! Yes definitely, I am looking forward to getting out on it. Especially now with all the work it's had and the dynojet kit.

Gotta say I was nervous that the kit would work ok… transformed mine back in the day. I’ll be revisiting the R1 you did soon, another bike I’ve owned in the past! 13yrs I had the 5vy!

@@Northfox46 Yeah check it out! really enjoyed working on the R1 and it now looks really good. Hoping to do many more bikes for the channel.

Hi Rob. 1.5mm flex goes from the fuse board up to the sockets. 2.5mm goes from the hook up plug to the fuse board

@@TurningSpannerz Cheers mate - just buying the gear from Amazon this evening to copy the exact same on your video. Is there any concern with running something like an air fryer off a socket with 1,5mm flex possibly?

Sounds awesome! I bet it looks great. I couldn't believe when first posting the GSXR how many people had great stories about their own bikes & experiences. It is great to hear about them all! Thanks for sharing !!

No problem! Glad it helps. Some of the latest lithium auxiliary batteries can be viewed via blue tooth and you can look at their condition through the battery app (manufacturer depending) Sterling batteries do this. I don't think you will need to worry about an on/off switch as the smart chargers will manage themselves, I have never had an issue with them. The chargers can also be programmed to meet your individual needs, you can set min/max voltage and all sorts of other features too from memory.

Hi Francis, thanks for the comment 😀 I have also fitted Victron smart chargers (did one for my dads previous VW Transporter) and this had an app via bluetooth that monitored both the vehicle main battery and the auxiliary battery, along with some other great features. Really handy if your not directly in the vehicle either. I didn't fit anything because I use the power for lighting and tool charging which when flat I just run the vehicle. You could get a cheaper digital voltage gauge and wire that into the system so at a glance you could see the current Voltage. I would just ensure that you use the appropriately rated cable and fuses. You could use the piggy back style fuses, I didn't use this because the fuse board under the seat on the Crafter has a cover on the other side that with this fitted would not allow the cover to be fitted. I also made another video on connector types for wiring that could be useful to you: th-cam.com/video/UD5HFsn_9Ds/w-d-xo.html

@@TurningSpannerz Thank you for the detailed reply. "You could get a cheaper digital voltage gauge and wire that into the system so at a glance you could see the current Voltage." Yes, I could probably get by using voltage monitoring. I've noticed some folks are using a shunt and a small display e.g. if you've 100AMP battery storage then you program that to 100%. I think this type of setup is perhaps £50.

Thanks for the great tip! I did end up using some silicone spray to aid me in fitting the carbs. 😃

@@TurningSpannerz I was waiting for you to be sat on the subframe with your feet pushing them in! I did that a few times 😂

@@Northfox46 Sounds like I got off lightly🤣 I wasn't far from it on a FZ6 I had a few years back.

Thanks for the comment Chris, I have been trying some different approaches to see what people like/dislike so I can continue to improve the content I deliver.

Hey GT86, The Sealey unit is slightly less powerful, I mainly use the Sealey tool to run down the threads and then hand tools to break the bolt/nut loose and also to finish the tightening process, great for cam covers, timing chests etc. For the price of the Sealey one I have been really pleased with the product. Having heavily used but not owned any other cordless ratchets I thought I would give this a try but I at least wanted a brand I knew. If you register it on purchase it does come with one years warranty, I will be looking to purchase other tools in the range and may well review those to for people.

Hi Dave, Check out my other videos as I have done a review on this tool 👍

Hi There, I believe my dad got them from Vee Dub Transporters. I don't think its makes a difference which rear door/tailgate style you have. The van in the video has barn doors. I hope this helps.

Thanks Matt, I did double check them before I re-assembled them back onto the support rails. There was me saying be careful not to mix them up 🤣

Thanks Northfox! I will check this out for sure and see if I can get a kit.

Thank you and welcome to the channel. I may well do at the end, only so many I can keep 😂

@@TurningSpannerz ok

Thanks for the comment and feedback 😀 really glad you are enjoying it! So the one I have as you say comes from the sump and is a green wire with a yellow trace and a bullet style connector fitting. If you look at the positive battery terminal side look at the bottom of the battery on this side and it is coming out of the main wiring loom in that area. There are also some other plugs there too. Let me know if you find it, if not I will grab some pictures for you.

Thanks for the comment and advice! I will try to remember this when I put it back together 😀

Hi there, this particular kit will not fit. However I am sure that you can get a similar kit online with a detachable tow ball. Thanks

Thanks 😊 welcome to the channel!

Thanks Northfox! I will certainly take a look at those and get them removed 😀

They are a lovely bike! maybe you could bring it back to life for summertime?

Thanks for the comment, I believe it was well looked after and like you mentioned it's great to see mostly genuine bolts, I will probably grab a fairing bolt kit as they seem to be a bit mismatched. Yes, it will need some maintenance which I will film as well. The paintwork has some imperfections in places but overall is ok.

Thank you for your comment! It definitely needs a good go over but like you say at least it hasn’t been “got at”

Hi Richard, Thanks for the comment. I bet that was absolutely amazing to watch, a great bit of insight thank you!
