  1. Today's adventure...

    Rear brake pad replacement on a Renault Megane 3. This is a fairly straightforward DIY.

  2. So I seem to be stuck now. I thought it would be relatively easy to remove the tire from this rim. Nope. As you can see from the photo, I ended up cutting most of it off, but I can't for the life of me get the remaining rubber off.

    The internet says I need to use the weight of my car, and a car jack to press it off, but I don't have the clearance under my car to do that.

    Tried various clamps, cutting etc.
    Any tips appreciated before I go ask someone who knows what they're doing.

    There is a second rim + tire I want to do as well.

  3. Landrover Discovery 4 oil and filter change done. Contrary to owner’s manual, I used 5W40 C3 oil as recommended by the #lrtime YouTube channel. Quite some work to remove the protection plate before you can access the drain plug. Luckily no considerable metal pieces found in the filter or the oil. Should be good to go for another 10.000 km’s. #lr4 #diy #carmechanic #castrol
