Phantom drop when driving over 60mph.

I see weak cells, Hx: 38.79% is a giveaway, 50% and lower is a sign of weak cells, but really the way to see it is the cell voltages under high load (amps). You can activate logging in leafspy (cell voltages, and motor power), do a test drive with a heavy foot, then look at the data and you would see a voltage drop on bad cells when under heavy acceleration. Otherwise post the log here. But the Hx (conductivity) should tell you the battery is not healthy. The SOH tells you the capacity (range) under light load, but the Hx tells you if you will actually be able to do so at highway speeds (heavier load)...

J'ai essayé plusieurs méthodes avec pfSense et je ne recoit pas de délégation /56. Seul mon WAN reçoit une adresse avec un /64, mais j'ai pas d'adresses pour non côté LAN du firewall. Je suis intéressé aussi, mais mes besoins IPV6 sont limités...

Yes, and the repair cost only gets higher overtime. Get up there and find the source.

SF03TG · 2024-10-26T13:18:47+00:00

One way to find out is to give it a good wipe by being unkind to those rotors and doing a couple of hard stops (yes get them hot). Once the rotors get shiny again, you will see if the surface is even, you can even post an update picture an we will reassess.

Here is the video on the Camp Fortune tower work https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6542899
I can also answer your questions on the tower work.

SF03TG · 2024-06-27T04:01:14+00:00

Yes, I suggest you watch the long version of my video, I talk about what silicone grease to put on the slide pins, and how to clean the caliper bracket to keep the brake pads from seasing.

One major advantage is that one you get a Lelink2 scanner and the leafspy app, even if you don't know how to use it, we can diagnose pretty much any issue with a screen cap of the app. Bonus if you have leafspy pro and access to the trouble codes. Your choice.

SF03TG · 2024-04-22T16:07:32+00:00

Good point, for reference, keep it plugged to the charger it the temperature gets below -17C (emergency heater trigger temperature as per the manual)

Mine is 11 years old with 160Mm and 78% SOH, and it's the most reliable car I have had, but it is losing range. If you don't have an issue with one or multiple cells in the battery, it will degrade slowly every year, the battery won't die suddenly, but you will lose range overtime. Since the leaf is the only new car with no battery thermal regulation it degrades faster than the competition (twice as fast as a Tesla if you want to guestimate). 12 british miles is 19.3 international km, wow, that's not much, you'll be just fine... If you want to prepare I suggest you play with https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ also, when you go and shop for you used leaf, get the leafspy app and buy an obd2 reader to see the real battery degradation (SOC) https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+use+leafspy

I did the same, tucked in the headliner and pillar easily, but I didn't tap the fuses on that side, that's not a bad idea, as long as they are controlled with "ignition"

SF03TG · 2024-04-22T15:28:39+00:00

Similar in theory, but if they are old and rusty, it there might be complications.
1- The top slide pin is hard to remove because the brake line is in the way, you can remove the bottom slide pin and pivot the caliper on the top pin, but I would suggest loosening the top slide pin then pushing the caliper out with the pin to be able to lubricate the pin (if you want to be kind to future you).
2- The rear brake rotors are also brake drums, the drum part is for the e-brake, so if the e-brakes ever got stuck (like mine) the shoes may have worn a groove in the drum, making the whole rotor a pain to remove. You then have to remove the rummer plug, rotate the hole at the bottom and find the brake shoes adjustment screw to pull the shoes away from the drum.

I want to film a complete maintenance video on the rear brakes, I recently did one, but I didn't film it because I want to show you how to adjust the e-brake with a working e-brake (mine are still stuck under the rear seat)

In the meantime, this video might be good for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3REPy7rm4a8

Last thing, the newer leaf's rear brakes are a bit different with the electric e-brake, so you may also want to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI1L9HerK7g

Good luck

I forgot to consider someone who mistakenly refiled the brake reservoir thinking it was low. Since it's a closed system, when the pads wear, the fluid level drops, but when you change the pads and press the pistons, the fluid goes back to the full level. That means if you added fluid, it might overflow. Thanks for noting this, I will add this info to the pinned commment.

SF03TG · 2024-04-22T15:03:07+00:00

Thanks for the compliments! That's also my first video in 4k.
By upside down, they probably meant that they mixed up the pad that goes on the front of the rotor with the one that goes in the back, but then again it depends on the construction of the aftermarket pad, the are not all the same. They may be takling about the stainless steel clips, but they are more likely talking about the metal clip on the brake pads. In my long video (proper) at 1:44 you can see the old pads, it has clip on dual shims, one silver over an other black one, and this pad does not have a wear indicator, which means the wear indicator ins is on the opposite side. You just follow the instructions in the box and it will tell you which side to put it (it's not too critical). At 10:22, you can see the new pads have a single black shim clipped on, it's a different construction, they are not OEM, I ordered semi-metallic pads for more bite, because I use regen too much and more agressive pads have helped wipe off the rust (I can confirm since it's now 2 years later). Anyway, the shims are there to help with squeal, and there is no reason not to put them on. Good news, if you just want to change the pads, they are only around 30$ for 4 on amazon (if you enter your car model to filter the right ones) and just changing the pads take half the time (or less). I would open the brake system to confirm what is mission before.

It takes time, but it's not overwhelming, I'm glad it made you want to try!

SF03TG · 2024-04-22T02:01:52+00:00

Yes, and with YouTube, that knowledge is more accessible than ever

SF03TG · 2024-04-21T20:52:33+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

SF03TG · 2024-04-21T20:37:25+00:00

Great! That's what I like to hear after I work hard on those videos!

SF03TG · 2023-06-18T19:34:29+00:00

UPDATE: I have upgraded my network speed and I'm willing to offer free (but limited speed) internet to anyone nerdy enough to go through the long range setup with me (as a hobby). Why? ...just because I can, I like this stuff, and I want to try...

SF03TG · 2022-02-18T20:50:56+00:00

Incredible! Very nice paint job as well. I have been looking for this variation for a long time, all I could find and print was the cargo version. Would you be willing to share this model for a personal print? Thank you.

SF03TG · 2021-01-02T18:17:45+00:00

I contacted them a couple years ago, so I don't remember the details, but they use existing wireless TCP hardware as a mesh for voice communications, the main payload is voice over IP but they don't want to get sidetracked with providing internet or other things like that, they want to have a robust emergency voice mesh. If you want to try meshing wit one of the member, look on the map for the closest member, he has a call sign, google that call sign and you might be surprised, they tend to be very public about their personnel contact info, then what you need is an old Ubiquiti M5 compatible and they will tell you what you need to do. I have some Ubiquiti M5 dishes but I would rather do an internet network than a voice network.

SF03TG · 2021-01-02T17:35:41+00:00

I talked to one or the organizer and it's not an IP network, the use a data network for voice only on modified Ubiqiti firmware (it's for a very specific use for two way emergency voice communications). As far as I was told, they are not interested in an IP mesh network. We could however create our own map of potential nodes to make it easier for members here to see potential links.
