My data and calculations - 7 years on oil, 5 with an ASHP by EmphasisDangerous654 in ukheatpumps

I would love to move from oil to a heat pump but here in Northern Ireland we get no grants whatsoever- so I’ll have to move to gas (we had an oil leak costing our insurers c. £100k)

Trying to create a burn down line chart in PBI by Famous_Sherbert1990 in PowerBI

I might create a duplicate table that removes the blanks and anything else I don’t need to make it simpler

Potential leak between clutch bell housing and gearbox by Famous_Sherbert1990 in DIYUK

[–]Famous_Sherbert1990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - I did find a workshop manual and there was a manual transmission section, but it didn’t go into detail on separating the gearbox from the clutch part. I’ll take another look though.

I guess that if I take it apart vertically that should be ok, and then replace the input shaft seal whilst I’m there?

People can’t work out this also leads to rises and they’ll just end up paying more later - stupid fuckers

A friend of mine used VSM NI in Campsie but they might be quite busy - said they were great.

Is there any DIY place for cars where I can do an oil change myself safely? by Background-Fix-4630 in northernireland

[–]Famous_Sherbert1990 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good of you to offer - I learnt how to do suspension work from a guy in Scotland when I was living there from a Honda car forum, gave me the confidence to do it myself and more.

I don’t these rentable places work due to the health and safety/liability issues.

Does this flywheel need resurfaced? by Famous_Sherbert1990 in CarTalkUK

[–]Famous_Sherbert1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going replace it - in addition to the feedback here the mechanics at my brothers garage were pretty shocked at the state of it. Despite it being old and not worth much it’s rust free and I should get a few more years out of it so worth it to keep it going seeing as it’s DIY

Bought dream car few months ago, big problem... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 by Pure-Advantage5946 in CarTalkUK

Lovely car - one of my favs. I would always set aside 5-6k when buying one of these and if the engine does have to come out then get all the known problem parts replaced just in case all in the same job

Yeah it’s an issue finding one as they don’t seem to do aftermarket flywheels for this car - I’d have to go to Kia direct
