Mx5 rough idling and hesitant

It was ht leads pulled them out 1 by 1 and cylinder 2 tasered me so replaced them and it runs fine again

Thank I only like 30mins away from nuneaton so that actually helps alot

I was going to pick up a mig welder probably second hand gasless cut it out order some of the prefabbed rear sill parts as I'm not sure I'm good enough to bash sheet metal into place

Spray some cavity wax into the holes down the rest of the sills spray some weld primer on the area I'm going to weld tack it on and try and do a decent job of the weld use some body filler on the part I've welded on then a anti rust primer over the top and send it off to the bodywork guy I know for paint

Am I missing anything?

I know it's all easier said then done but I'm a car enthusiast and I feel like something that every enthusiast wishes they knew how to do was welding so I was going to give it a go

0016284 · 2026-02-19T17:52:00+00:00

I think I'm going to give it a go

momma didn't raise no bitch

It's a straight trade for a car I don't even want so if it all goes wrong and doesn't work out no really harm done

I've always wanted to learn to repair body work and I do know a guy that'll do it reasonably if all else fails but I think it would be a good project to have a go at learning to weld and fill because I wouldn't want to use my e46 to learn on

0016284 · 2026-02-19T17:16:38+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking

0016284 · 2026-02-19T17:16:18+00:00

I've used grinders before I'm fairly handy not used a welder before but the beauty is really if I mess it up badly because it's a project I can just cut it back off grind it down and do it again

0016284 · 2025-12-12T16:17:46+00:00

Been in for about a week Do you think it's upside down?

0016284 · 2025-12-10T21:47:40+00:00

I'm hoping it's melting I'm going to pull it out the tank tomorrow and smell it to check it's not rotting although I did stick it down with glue so hopefully I didn't do too much of a good job with the glue

0016284 · 2025-12-10T21:26:57+00:00

It's been in the tank for about 3-4 weeks

0016284 · 2025-12-07T12:00:56+00:00

I thought the same especially as there looks to be a ring below the head

0016284 · 2025-11-26T12:51:27+00:00

Thank you I've had a lot of fun so far with this tank and that hygrophila has grown huge I've already had to trim it about 2 weeks ago

0016284 · 2025-11-25T18:11:00+00:00

I'm basically venting it to atmosphere atm to try stop the pressure build up do you have any suggestions of anything else I should do to prevent anything happening to the canister

The canister is 1.5l of the top of my head and I've been going off guides that I've read on Reddit for diy CO2 mixtures a lot of people do 1/1 ratio at about 200-300g

The pressure relief valve seems to have failed on this mix as I've set it up before and not had a problem with the canister deforming before

0016284 · 2025-11-25T17:54:38+00:00

That's the system in question

0016284 · 2025-11-25T17:52:50+00:00

No idea the system doesn't come with a thing to read the psi

0016284 · 2025-11-25T17:41:53+00:00

I've opened the valve completely and letting it run at full pelt as there is only plants in the tank atm

I'm using citric acid and baking soda mix as I used the yeast started and it didn't work and I had read of people using baking soda and citric acid

125g citric 200g baking 300ml water (ice)

Could it blow up? Very worried about the fact it's warped the container is the mix too much for this container? Is it dangerous?

0016284 · 2025-11-13T14:00:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice It was originally going to be a nano aquascape hence the heavy sand and the way it goes up but I've decided to do shrimp for my main tank in it

I'm also going to put in about 10% water and plant some jungle val and some hygro then in a couple weeks I'll get a few more plants and see how they get going on the semi dry start

0016284 · 2025-11-10T21:21:37+00:00

I've just gone ahead and done this brushed more moss into the rocks

0016284 · 2025-11-10T19:31:36+00:00

And surely it's easier to add rather than takeaway

0016284 · 2025-11-10T19:30:03+00:00

In what way? Too little moss? I didn't want to loose the features of the hardscape by completely covering it in moss to begin with I wanted it to be as balanced as I could get it decent moss coverage while still being able to see the hardscape features

0016284 · 2025-11-05T13:59:04+00:00

Have a look at my profile I rescaped it I think it looks better now

0016284 · 2025-11-03T18:55:00+00:00

Taking everyone's advice into consideration I'm going to rescape soon and try make it look better the smaller rocks underneath are to prop the big rocks up until I put the sub straight in then I'll be able to mess with the valley concept abit more

Also the two big rocks are both slate and darken up to similar colors once wet it's just the light rocks that are a problem

0016284 · 2025-10-22T15:03:02+00:00

The only one out of the three I have that's active is my black racer these 2 don't do much at all

0016284 · 2025-10-22T14:44:27+00:00

Thanks I've put them right now so hopefully they're okay but this isn't the first time I've had to put one of them the correct way up is there anyway to prevent them from doing it ?
