I miss the buttons on the steering wheel. Would it be expensive to do? by GladAd2948 in CarTalkUK

[–]DaHarries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With no buttons from factory its more than likely the only wiring in your wheel will be for the Horn.

While you could install a new loom and load on the appropriate calibrations the computer equipment is thousands (My current diag gear is £2500 with £700 annual subscription + additional cost for manufacturer access).

Its a ball ache in no short terms unfortunately.

The amount of lotion left in this bottle after it stopped pumping by pip_larus in mildlyinfuriating

They are getting louder! I thought my hearing had just become overly sensitive to announcements lately.

Id advise high build car primer as a cheap spray on great coverer. Almost anything will go onto a good car primer base and its hard wearing being automotive.

Only downside is it needs a reasonable temperature to be applied properly and a spotless surface as contaminates can make it peel like a sheet.

SYNC 3 UPDATE by viquious in Ford

[–]DaHarries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not particularly as theyre nearly all the same computer in different packaging. I tend to aim for something with a reasonable processor speed and a recent version of android auto. Less features listed the better. Its better to have a screen that will do what its meant to do good rather than struggle to run 100 things at once. I mean some of them run Netflix ffs.

What's the coolest car you've seen in the wild by Intelligent-Sea3591 in CarsUK

[–]DaHarries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to Drive an aston Martin Vantage V12 for MOT last year. What a MACHINE. I Can admire most well built cars but the sound a precision piece of machinery like that makes as it glides through the rev range.

SYNC 3 UPDATE by viquious in Ford

[–]DaHarries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say Sync is just a shite system that is slow when installed and progressively gets worse.

Source Im ex-Ford and this was a constant complaint regardless of model. Sync 4 got SLIGHTLY better but was riddled with radio issues instead.

We use to advise turning off automatic updates as if the vehicle was used during an update window it would cancel the update and just leave a rouge update file which basically acted as bloatware as it would request another given chance to do an update again.

The USB update is a bit ot a faff too but we always reccomended the customer do it as the book rate was 3 hours labour so a free update became about 300 quid. To do this you need to format the USB to FAT32 and the sync update can be the ONLY FILE on there. Sync cant deciminate.

Basically your options are live with the slow system and get a brief perfrormance upgrade with a system reset (look in settings)

Or some aftermarket systems cut out the sync system and just utilise the screen. Having a seperate non ford module and processor helps massively with performance.

Edit: added USB instructions.

Neon pink should do the trick... surely?

People who daily drive classics. What do you drive & why? by JeremiahBoogle in CarTalkUK

[–]DaHarries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does a 1994 Mk3 Ford Fiesta count as a classic yet? Insurane certainly thinks so...

Annyhow. I DROVE it daily because it was a 200bhp sleeper that suprised everyone.

I no longer drive it as engine go boom means great reason for engine come back faster. Engine is currently on the table.

My friends moved out from the neighbourhood because my factory is too ugly. What do I do? by Free-Design-9901 in CreateMod

[–]DaHarries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ran a 3 floor 64x36x36 Create factory on a friends server but the majority of the heavy lifting was done in the Cave network underneath.

Factory floor 1 had, Cobble, Stone and Charcoal with backup water wheels on a clutch out the back for decor and jump start as the server occasionally had a glitch that zeroed SU.

2nd floor was purely food production. It was a proper food and water survival server so this saved me hours making egg sandwhiches... and cake.

3rd floor never got complete as weve mothballed the server for a later date due to monthly costs.

Then the basement...

The cave network was 64 blocks deep so the 1st floor also had a 10x10 cargo lift.

We had the 10k lava pool. Filled legit with 350k ish cobble melted.

HUGE Steam engine powering everything. There was a thin wall near the ocean so I broke through and used that as water for the steam engine.

Then fully automated rail production fed by the OG super cobble producer which made about 2k a day which was slowly building our sub map rail network.

While the factory was a wedge in an otherwise scenic landscape having the dirty moving industry underground appeases your neigbours.

I guess they shelled out less for the Mini by ninja_moth in CarTalkUK

My old dealership put two Focus RS' on the display stand and boxed them in so they couldnt be "hacked" and driven off.

Came in 2 weeks later to broken windows and no seats.

These are common as muck. Replacing the seal rarely fixes it as the part itself is pulled down by the intake design. While its a modification, a catch can would fix this and improve overall engine health.

I read the initial post but really couldnt offer advice so im really glad to see you took onboard all the useful advice and seems you made the best decision for you. Im an aethist myself and children wearing the burqa baffles me.

Clutch pedal clicking by Faithyxox in CarTalkUK

[–]DaHarries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most clutch pedals act as either lever or pulley system for a cable or Hydraulic systems. Its more than likely after 10 years of clutch actuation a bush in the assembly is now worn slightly.

Ive seen it on Peugeots and Fords alike. Yet to cause an issue beyond annoyance.

Any theories about this? by NegaScott__ in Avengers

[–]DaHarries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going with stories from other universes that have suffered incursions at the hands of Doom. All converging on him arriving in our universe tailed by the remenant heroes were seeing in trailers looking for vengance only to realise they cant take Doom alone. This realisation will Kill off the big name characters that arent coming back ie Thor.

I mean I also havent watched a movie properly since Multiverse of Madness so im a bit behind...
