It took a while to get parts, but today we'll see do we get Volvo stop being black smoke generator. If not, need to start looking at injectors... Weather should also be ok'ish

Corolla ABS Sensor fixing. Bolt was rusted and self-cutted (same as on other side). First installation wasn't success as there was some debris (aka rust) and sensor did not go deep enough. After cleaning all ok. MOT today. This cause ABS to rattle just before stopping due bad signal on low speeds.

puuh. Corolla side mirror changed. and heater works. cold and warm (piece of tape as non reflective)

Replacement mirror (bottom) had almost 1mm smaller gap, and was impossible to install) Dremel FTW

my ex-wife, as i sometimes mis she doing exactly that...

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

Today. Corolla side mirror heater does not work. Lets take a look. there are couple of videos how to take the mirror off, but i want just the glass-element. One of the videos shows how it is easier to reassemble, so i took it apart from that point. (ALT) Spoiler - mirror heating element is död

Avensis front headlamp fail. ballast does take 0mA current. I can see some capacitance only measuring the power pins.

Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?

Snowblower test run... pass. "This engine has provisions for Electric Starter Kit" which is a useful reminder after 20-30 pulls. Luckily it started on first. has been off duty for about a year now.

Bought a smoke machine for leak detection instead of new tank to Corolla... It can be used also for hunting downpipe exit point :)

Was it a programming language? But now it is done. took total 7,5 hours with lots of breaks. Gasoline fumes were nasty even working outdoors. Some more in ALT.

Everything except electrical connection on car side, and outer plastic bumber in place. Bumber needs a cutout, instructions just says "~70x150 mm" had to fix one mounting bolt, rusty and started to rotate in plastic when taking off. some quick epoxy should hold it enouhg.

Fixed with three bolts per side. 2 of them have existing fixed nuts, in place of original towing hooks. third bolt is deep, but it is supplied with a "handle". part 4. But still took too long to get it in place.

Finally. New parts. This is kinda heavy. And ofcourse it didn't fit and had to cut a piece off.

non-flanged bolt heads, but with inner cavity. needed to file down socket to get full grip. 6/6 opened nicely

Todays project was to utilise my excavator winter isolators as walking ramps in my car pit. Removable so i can still use these as intended in winter (to prevent excavator to freeze on ground) Still to do vertical support posts. Old ramp was untreaded populus tremula which started to get soft...
