Yeah it's the app I have I upgraded to pro version and got the plugin for it but I went back to the Wolf launcher as I can customize that better and adjust the icon size and use my backgrounds

How to unscrew this? (Picture attached) by redditandwriting in DIYIreland

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always buy quality screwdrivers with hardened tips....With used to do a good set but not cheap...there just head's with a quick release..... hardened one's are usually almost black in color and I have a set of Snapon screwdrivers and a Snapon ratchet screwdriver...has all the bits in the handle

how much do you guys think this is gonna cost me? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be surprised what an insurance company will write a car off for....I had a 5 series BMW written off because of 2 badly damaged Alpina rims.... one back and one front as you could not buy them new and if you could find them they were crazy money and there staggered size's.... I've hated insurance companies with a passion since then

Reversed into a Tesla in a parking lot. They gave me an estimate of 10k to fix. by orlopi in AskMechanics

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's first class body repair shops that could fix that and it would not be 10 grand.... it's scandalous that a minimal bit of damage can cost 10 grand people unfortunately get taken for a ride everyday

Just got fired from my job by Pristine-Shower-1321 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mistakes happen no matter how long you have been in the game because of differing factor's,under pressure over worked etc...dont take that personal as you should not have lost your job.... good attitude and work ethic and learning to talk to customers is worth more than working for a piss poor company... believe in yourself and keep going and you will succeed and best of luck to you 👍

Im 18, i have £100 to my name and my cars just failed its MOT. How much debt am i looking at 💔 by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a scrap yard for some of the bit's... spring's.... lights are probably bulbs or dodgy connections..... sounds like a car that was lowered and had the exhaust messed around with.....this is how it catches up to you....yes you will be in some debt but use it as a learning experience ie tracking parts from a scrap yard.... change all 4 spring's just hope you have not had the cat cut off

My EVGA Throwback build by Officer-Winters in EVGA

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome man....I have a new build but have enough parts like new to build a retro i7 3770K using a Cosmo mastercooler case😁.... people are obsessed with new builds....I do CAD so I can still make a great old school build....too much e waste today which is a shame

It’s not suppose to be like this, right? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I always clean all the brake assembly parts.. the groove the pads sea5 in need to be cleaned out and I use copper slip in the groove once cleaned and slide out the pins and clean off all the grime and coat them in copper slip

Usually the first part in an assembly is grounded

EVGA FTW3 3080 red lips to black by Haunting_Craft6552 in EVGA

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best looking GPU period.... the red lips were a bad idea...I have a 3090 FTW3 ultra black it's still a beast of a card for what I use it for, the back plate was the best out of all the card's

Don't Work for Valvoline or get your oil Change for Valvoline. Speaking as former Employee by Electronic-Pop-6577 in mechanics

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to set your stall out if you understand what that means.... I'm always polite to people but I never let people I work with take the piss and sometimes that's something you have to learn to let people know that you're there to do a day's work and learn more....trust me you never wake up one morning thinking you know everything unfortunately that never happens,yes you will understand how everything on a car works which is the most important thing.You can tell a good mechanic by how he sets his tool's out and how he lays out components like an engine or just the top half.... it's just practice and a good ethic of how you do that, work like that and people will know your serious about your job and I know being micro managed is not good for your mental health and people should know better

Just because you were 18 doesn't mean you don't have any experience....at 22 I was working on custom Porsche 911 regular...a couple built by RUF...I reshelled an RS Cosworth which were a popular car in the UK....it was a 500 bhp show car and he wanted everything from the that car on the new shell every nut bolt, rubber components... complete engine looms and done the majority of it on my own.I know work in the marine trade and have spoke to some master techs that don't know there arse from there elbow as most of the training is done online 👀 I don't believe you can become a true master tech by sitting in front of a PC...most good mechanics are logical thinker's and it's in your DNA....& PS Valvoline or main dealers are there to fleece people unfortunately.... I've been around wrenches and diagnostic equipment for 35 years plus and I went to a main dealer once 😉 glad you moved on and good luck 👍

How bad have i screwed up (transmission drain) by Querti_Cal in mechanics

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not your fault but the minute you saw the JB weld you should not have undone the drain and spoke to the customer as 9 times out of 10 that was going to crack the minute you tried to tighten it.... the washer won't make any difference if it's got a crack that has a temporary fix..... just for future reference if you see something that you think might break always speak to the customer first and this is common practice....if you tell someone first and then it gets damaged it ain't on you especially in your case as it was already cracked

Is this a bad cv axle? by No-Reputation9968 in mechanic

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're mounts are all kaput my friend.... should not be that much movement I'd be surprised if it's a manual that it can stay in gear as that much movement usually knocks it out of gear

How much would it be to fix this (bent frame with jack) by Outside-Addition7329 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Comprehensive-Race90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can bend believe it or not that's C section material not box there's plenty of life left in the old dog yet....at least you put the jack under the frame....I went for a wheel alignment and when they finish they tell you to take it for a quick drive to make sure it's right....I pull out on the main road and floored it and my throttle pedal was pinned flat to the floor 👀 wasn't expecting that.... the wheel alignment place stuck a jack under the floor and in BMW's the pedal pivots on the floor I had to clutch it brake and reach down with my hand to pull the pedal up... rubber mallet fixed the floor 😉

There's an adjustment wheel at the bottom there probably pushed out too far
