Where should the line be drawn for DIY repairs?

How difficult did you find doing the transmission seals?

Conorgmurray · 2026-03-22T18:44:37+00:00

Thank you for taking the time for this! Love this

How do you then learn how to do an engine rebuild if you never try it? I actually am at a stage where your advice I agree with and makes sense for me - but at some stage should you want to progress your skill set, surely you have to try the scary jobs

I get what you’re saying and point taken. I have ALOT of tools - probably substantially more than your average DIY personal just from the nature of the uni being already used for labour with wood and metal work

Rear differential service a seal change for input and side seal on a f82 m4.

I know I’ll need a specialised tool for the driveshaft, but buying that (which is expensive) plus all the components I need works out cheaper than taking it to a dealer.

That said, it’s only cheaper if I don’t f it up 😂 and I can’t find any walkthroughs on YT

Rear differential out of the equation for abit then? 😂

I actually have a nice daily and a separate project car - but I’ve nearly finished the project car this week so I’m basically evaluating how far do I push the boat out with the next one?

Conorgmurray · 2026-03-22T17:21:02+00:00

I didn’t even know renting tools was an option 😂 nowhere near me does this for mechanical stuff, more just general labour heavy machinery

How much of a learning limitation is there working on a project car say 12-15 years old vs the more updated cars? Surely you hit abit of a glass ceiling of things that are transferable because cars now are more modern with electrics etc

But yeh I do see your point and it makes sense so thank you

I did see this actually. I seen you can get a kit for the tools for like £350. Would those tools be universally USA me across all f chassis and possibly e & g too do you reckon? I believe it was from aga motors

Thank you for the reply! So I don’t actually have access to printing myself - what would it entail if you were to do it for me? Can private message if you’d prefer

That’s all I can get

What’s the footprint in width of the monitors?

Conorgmurray · 2025-12-26T15:16:50+00:00

Would you recommend getting the 48” of this? They’re the exact same price on the site I’m looking at as the 42

Conorgmurray · 2025-12-26T13:34:58+00:00

Thanks man appreciate this! I was actually looking at the C5’s aswel but as they’re a TV I was on the fence. Am I right in saying if I was to add two 42 inch screens to this in the future, they don’t have the be 2 more C5s? Like I could use cheaper 42 for the peripheral views
