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

@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

I had all my tooling in little metal Bisley draw sets, I found the 5 draw sets best as the taller sets tend to bow out and start to drop the draws, my new draws came from a local military contractors factory they were throwing them and there contents away into skips, a friend saved a dozen or so including huge amounts of tooling and he gave me these 2 as he ran out of room... I am absolutely delighted with them, only downside. I wish I had another one 😕

@@smithbuilt I got some of those Bisley drawer units as well, they're OK but not ideal. You did well with the ex-military cabs, jammy sod

I seem to have a gift of some kind but if can be a curse too as I often find my self trying to bite off more then I can chew simply because opportunity has presented but, it makes for fast thinking 🤔

Now, that would be awesome, but I'm either too lazy or impatient to make one, lol 😆 I think I'm almost there with the layout side of things. I'm just getting hung up working out where to put all the small things

That foot is still tender if you push where the pallet truck stopped. Good to see you got the go-ahead on you're build mate

Yeah that's kinda what I've been thinking. It's funny I spends hours sorting things but nothing looks different, I guess that's the best thing about setting up over a course of years, you just don't notice the amount of stuff growing as its gradual

I'm gonna call it a medium size lol. Its 10x6 meters but I got permission to build it out another 4 meters so you know in a year or two once I'm settled and all up together I'll have start to make it a 10x10 meter shed , nothing compared to my friend a few miles away he has a 10x40 meter shed but he's a farmer and calls it a barn..... maybe I need to get me some cows

Wow mate thats massive, you could be pretty productive with what you got. Plot must be massive. I cant wait to see it churning out some projects. Very come by a colchester chipmaster great price and a union pedestal grinder both 3 phase you gotta any videos about that?

@mikebryan544 my Colchester needs a strip down. I got it from a dealer who took it in part, ex. I've had a fair few issues pop up over the years with it, but I just did what was needed to keep it going as I didn't have the space to pull it all apart. So that's a job on my to do list. My union tool and cutter grinder is a similar thing. I got it in as is condition and just made use of it my biggest problem with the grinder is the head is just a frankenfitted bench grinder motor, I've always wanted to make a proper mounted pulley and spindel with a separate motor. There's just so many things I need to do and now have the space to do it! I'm bitting at the bitt every day wanting to get up and running again... I'm looking at for a mk2 roundhead triumph lathe long bed, I found my student lathe a little small and I know a master will end up to small for something so I figured a long bed triumph would be perfect, I do like the old chipmasters that triangular shape is interesting

@smithbuilt you’ll get to the jobs in time. yeah triumph would be the size of choice with the space. Interesting the chipmaster seems to be thought of as a fully rigid toolroom standard lathe but not much bigger foot print than myford. Thats why i went for it, ideal shed size, just looking for a 4 jaw for it as nothing came with it.

Always a shame when you don't get the standard extras with a machine, I had a ml4 lathe awhile back, I sold it as it was worth more then my student lathe.....crazy expensive little lathes myford but the chipmaster will serve well

Long way way from home, best of luck

How was the repair, it runs well? I hope you made it

Did you do it ?

Hi Matt, yeah, I had looked on the fb marketplace, but nothing came up after a few weeks of looking, so I thought I'd buy new. You should see the shop now, I've been at it everyday moving everything into place and trying to find an ideal layout to start out with and try to fine tune once I've had time to work in there.... It's so much harder than I thought it would be, especially as I keep changing my mind or coming up with a new idea
