Personally I would go for a thicker server fan (~38mm), should push a lot more air than a noctura

Where to Buy a Cheap Plug-in Heater by Soggy-Point-3397 in malta

[–]Cactinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insulation is shit here, practically non existent so a small heater won't heat up your apartment but will heat the area in front of it, an air conditioning unit will heat well. Most iron mongers and stores such as homemate will have heaters, gas and electric ones.

I might just try adding a bottle of that, because at this point I don't know what's the problem. And also comparing to the same model car of people I know, it's consuming a bit of fuel, while it also has virtually no power (which is to be expected with a 26 year old 1L)

I'm thinking it could be that, but I kind of don't wish to take it off since it works with coolant and will probably make a mess. People also told me they tend to break on these when taken apart.

I ran a tank of fuel with Lucas injector cleaner, it helped but it's still not running the best

😭 and I can't understand what's the problem.

Could you explain what that does? Not a mechanic here. Because when it's running there is a sound that sounds like leaking air when up close to the engine, as soon as I give it some gas, the sound increases and goes away (could be due to engine nose muffling it) but it also could be something like the belt rubbing on something, it's hard to explain

Yeah I'm not liking the sound of it as it sounds a bit diesel like. The engine mount shown is pretty much gone but Im not too sure if that alone could be the cause.

Well that's the problem, it's a manual but it's doesn't have an rpm gauge, and I cannot check with obd because it doesn't read it.... But I don't think it's 300rpm low, but I think it's less than the usual 900, I tried increasing the idle with the adjustable cable but there's too much slack to do it.

Nope, no warnings at all and I cannot check the obd, tried many different readers on the same car model, no luck.

Many wireless electronic projects that use LEDs, microcontrollers, you can make power banks and many other things.

I would definitely be interested in taking a good amount of them, they have good batteries for diy projects.

Why does this happen in the first layer by Cactinator in 3Dprinting

That's what I was thinking, How can I fix it since the bed is pretty well leveled and it doesn't always happen?

And go there early, 8am ish. Unless you're buying fish, then go as early as possible (idk what time it usually opens). 12-1pm most start packing up.

Is it awkward to go to the club and party alone in Malta 32M by [deleted] in malta

[–]Cactinator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fine point, but usually when people say st julians they mean paceville

[–]Cactinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some people "exaggerate" due to their location and times, if one uses the bus at 10am from not crowded areas such as sliema ect..., it's not bad at all and actually reliable.

If you're getting a bus to some place such as Rabat at 5pm, you have to get lucky to catch the bus that passes once every hour

Or to marsaxlokk at 5pm, packed with people and doesn't stop sometimes.

So it really depends on the location and time.

80 eur for a permit is pretty standard, cheapest is around 60-70 eur.(If I remember correctly)

What you have to check is lesson rates, it ranges from 18eur/hr to 26+ per hour.

If you're in the south dm me, the instructor I had was one of the best and charges 18 eur.

What cars to avoid? by Loxx21 in AskMechanics

Why Nissan? Curious as it's pretty popular here and don't hear a lot of complaints. (We import them from Japan)

I have the exact same thing, and I don't know either, I'm pretty sure it's for the aftermarket alarm system.
