A skilled mechanic works on a vintage V8 engine in a dark garage, surrounded by car parts and tools.

On the right side things also mostly seem OK aside from this play in the wheel hub... feels likely to be the CV joint I think?

Our landlord isn't all bad, I asked if I could use the disused garage for some car maintenance and he initially refused... then a week later the maintenance lady dropped by and gave me a key to it.

This is so much better than car work on wet gravel outside.

Anyway, Fox MOT due in a month and time to work out what work it needs doing and do a full service. First problem: the clunky noise from the left side... um... yeah, might have worked that out.

Not sure if this is a replacement or a repair job. Feels likely to be replacement.

On the plus side everything else on the front mech seems OK this side. All nice and stuff, no play. Plenty of pad left on the brakes.

Making a #spectacle of himself - this chap (a #mechanic in #Kent #SE #England) is wearing #RayBan #spy #glasses for the purpose of his #YouTube video.

He is carrying out the relatively harmless act of covertly filming buying 5 litres of #petrol (garages often don't like you using mobile phones) to take back to his workshop and check there is 5 litres in the can (indeed there was - not sure what he was expecting to happen, Trading Standards regularly check filling stations!)

I've got 3 spreadsheets and notebooks of receipts since 2019 (spanning 3 different #cars) where I've been monitoring fuel consumption and I've found nothing to suggest that petrol pumps across East and SE #England are delivering anything other than correct amounts (within tolerances that #TradingStandards allow)

So, when we had the car serviced like 6 months ago they asked if we wanted the air filters changed for an extra $150. I said no, and have bought the air filters to change them myself (they cost like $24 each). There's an engine one and a cabin one, and I've watched a bunch of YouTube clips to learn how to change them both.

But, in watching all those clips I also saw a clip where a mechanic was making a joke. In the clip he took the glove box out to change the cabin filter behind it, and when he did the filter was covered with very obviously fake plastic spiders.. he screamed and jumped out of the car.

...but now I, an arachnophobe, feel really nervous about changing the air filter!

Can some car people please let me know that there are definitely no spiders in the cabin air filter behind the glove box in my car (or warn me that there might be...)?

He don't think he can fix it... 🐭🔧

@stefan omfg I want this.
Would be great as well for days I can / have to drive, but don’t go on roads above 40 mph.

Lmk when UK available and / or some #FOSS or #homebrew #nerd #engineer #homeDIY #proactive types build something similar.
Ooh!
@Maker_of_Things

…. Is there a construction kit for electric bikes and / or scooters?

In all my free time (🤣), I've turned into an accidental #HomeNetworking hobbyist, run the automated weekly build system for #OpenWRT fork #ROOter, spoil the giant pile of needy #sheepdogs, and play #mechanic on anything that doesn't run away from me fast enough. Any time left after that is usually "spotting" mechanical things, if it's machinery I'm probably interested. Some #planespotting (also an #ADSB collector), #shipspotting, and grew up #trainspotting (#railfan for Americans).
