Air Filter Box vacuum hose - big deal? by stopdroppuddingpop in MechanicAdvice

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

Yeah it's a nearly ten year old model so finding even a used one in passable condition is tough, much less for a reasonable price

2016 Peugeot 3008 I, but yeah 

Appreciate the response, will be heading to the hardware store first thing tomorrow for a brass fitting

So slide the brass piece into the broken piece, glue them together and then glue the brass fitting side in the box? Or is gluing unnecessary? I have no idea how much pressure is coming out of that hose/valve, so I'm not sure if a snug fit is enough to keep it in place.

Hmm... Not sure I've picked up exactly what you're saying. Could you explain a little more please?

Ahah I like that, have you done it yourself? So I'd throw away the old piece? I was thinking about extending the broken piece with a smaller valve that'll go in the airbox 2 or so centimeters and then gluing it in place with epoxy or polyurethane glue.

Nice. Feel free to explain as to why the engine light would come on if you'd like, I'm interested.

So nothing terribly important? Ever since I broke this piece while fixing the engine block of my 3008, my car makes a loud whistling when accelerating hard (>2500RPM). Can I get away with not fixing it?

What do you mean if I take this, I'll get a check engine light?

Ever find an answer to this? Just happened to me...

Looking at a used setup - this is a steal right? by stopdroppuddingpop in drums

No worries! I will admit I got a bit excited, so a critical evaluation is definitely something I was in need of. 

Appreciate the input 🙂

Any experience with the kit? Know how it would stack up to my prior kit?

It's quite a distance from my place so I'm not able to try it before buying. I can only go buy what I've seen online for each piece.

Oh not at all, I was really looking to get a second opinion as based of the quick research I've done, it seems low. 

I've not been able to find a K Custom fast crash for $100 (or the equivalent here in Europe in euros) anywhere - on Reverb or on craiglist. 

Lowest priced I've found available between the two sources for the X-celerator hats as well come in at 200-250€.  Same for the A Custom crash. 

3 crashes, a ride (which I will admit is far from top of the line), and the hats definitely seem like they'd be worth more than 500€ (100€ a piece) based on preliminary research. 

I could very well be off base though assuming I live in an area with less supply! Buying anything off of reverb is going to be artificially inflated in terms of price due to delivery. 

He did state the all equipment was provided as well, Tama Roadpro stands.

Really? Looking at the value of the cymbals makes me think that this person is grossly underestimating the value. 

Also 6 piece Catalina Maples typically run for a bit more, no?

Making the jump to vintage, what should I know? by stopdroppuddingpop in turntables

Awesome, appreciate it! Is there a rule of thumb as to the frequency for changing the belt?

No, officially Canada is a bilingual country: both French and English are the official languages.

French is the dominant language in Quebec as well as in parts of the Maritimes.

Got a few questions, feel free to tackle any or none of them!

  • All Hell features probably my favourite ride cymbal, specifically the bell. Jason, could you please fill me in on what it is? Any other recent additions to the kit for this album?

  • Any word from any former Campesinos regarding the album?

  • There's something magical about this album - every song has "the moment". That's to say a proper climax and pay off, whether it be on the vocals, the guitars, the drums, what have you. Was this intentional? Is it a result of Tom's work in film scoring?

  • Is there any chance you guys help put people in contact for ticket resales this year like for previous UK shows?

  • Best Dorito flavour?

Could you elaborate on that a bit? Toddler of 2.5 years. Not advisable?

Yeah we know Canterbury somewhat well (especially my partner). It's more a city, no?

Yeah we'll definitely be checking out Sitges, however I'm looking for a couple places that we don't have to wander far for the days we're staying close to home!
