I brought the cheapo small & large batteries & charger as a set on ebay yrs ago. Could it be the charger or battery controller slightly overcharging & damaging a cell over time or is it a random roll of the dice? Both batteries are also beginning to hold less total charge. Just odd how it...

With the pushrod shortened by 5mm, I bled the brakes again, started the car with wheels lifted, pump the brake pedal few times, recheck none of the wheels are binding, went for a drive and now it's working properly 👍 *Pedal has approx 20mm if initial travel before it reaches the bite point...

2025-08-16 Fix Citroen C3 Master Cylinder Long Travel Issue For the longest time ever since I fitted a larger Citreon C3 M/C in 2015 to match the bigger volume of the GTIR front calipers, it's always had this annoyingly long initial dead-zone in the pedal before any braking pressure is felt so...

The other day I was only briefly using this old battery grinder for just 10sec and whilst looking away finishing a task, I suddenly noticed the workshop is abit smokey only to see the lithium pack firing up! 😱 ohshtohshiiohhshyt 💩 1st time I ever had a lithium thermal runaway, I calmly picked...

2025-08-10 Convert Heater Blower Resistor Card into PWM controller Recently noticed the battery is again not fully charging up towards 12.6v cos it's only receiving upto 13.9v while the running alternator produces 14.2v 🤔 Some of the voltage drop came from the main battery 65a fuse in the...

2025-07-04 Shorten Bonnet Hook The bonnet seems to sit slightly too far up and the latch is already at it's lowest position, so the only other option is to shorten the bonnet hoop itself Chopped Welded, and now the bonnet can sit lower to the headlights/grill

Personal Update 2025-08-17 It's been a difficult 2025 for me with no signs of hope 😞 Left a terribly uncomfortable & brief job in January as a caretaker, realised I got used & manipulated again by women & close friends 🥺 Which inevitably triggered me to delete everyone & everything out of my...

2025-06-24 Install New Rear Axle Had to trim the inside lip off these spring cusions so that the spring doesn't jam on the spring seat Now the spring has room to move without binding Installed the axle. When moving the axle up/down it's full travel without springs, I can clearly see...

2025-06-21 Make Rose Jointed Panhard Rod Welded the nuts onto the new steel pipe Attached the rose joints Machined this tapered spacer to help spread the load Rose joint sit on the shaft like this. Overall length is 50mm same as the original bushing, therefore if rose-joints didn't...

2025-06-21 Weld New Panhard Rod Mount I was waiting on this ebay M16 bolt for the panhard mount but realised it's coming from china & won't arrive till next month :rolleyes: Halfords sold M16 towing bolts but imo they were too short (rose-joint would be resting on the weaker threads rather than...

2025-06-19 Wirebrush Rear Axle Managed to pry the RH spring off & snapped the rest of the panhard mount off 🙈 Wirebrushed as much rust off the axle, overall it still appears solid :cool: Grinded the old snapped bracket flat Removed most of the rust Cleaned the whiteline...

2025-06-05 Remove Rear Axle The rear axle was starting to get abit crusty and needs repainting 🙈 First I removed the brakes, the inner side of the discs towards the caliper piston appear slightly pitted (maybe from sitting in garage for weeks?), the left disc is less pitted & more scored...
