  1. Got an old #Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 #tablet I was gifted by a relative a few years back (he upgraded to a newer one).

    I use it mostly to read #PDF documents of scanned #books about #oldtimers , #mechanic work and #electronics (so these are quite big PDF files).

    Normal #AdobeReader is laggy on this old device, and I don't need the #AI bullshit bundled with it.

    Can anyone suggest a better PDF reader for Android with 0 ads, decent privacy and good performance?

  2. more about the initiative here - they are genuinely putting effort into making things better for #mechanic #apprentices - but the issue is whether #garages are hiring them in the first place (as well as attracting young people to study #automotiive courses at college)

  5. If I can get some help getting all of this it would help us so much. After researching more I realized I need more tools to replace my wheel bearing. Donation links on bio please share

  6. 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?

  7. 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.

    Some men like to catch a peek down a woman's blouse. I prefer a long look down a hot man's tshirt, especially if he has chest hair showing.

  18. A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again

    I was recently discussing Farcry 2 with some friends and how cool the fire spread system was - And how it essentially was never used again after that title.

    Is there a cool feature or mechanic you’ve seen in a game and hope to see more of?

  19. 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...)?

  20. I had my own #JustRolledIn (YouTube) #Car #Mechanic moment today.

    *Mechanic (me) reads from paperwork*
    “Costumer states, all lights inside and outside flicker irregularly. Please check and advise.”

    *Looks at the loose ground cable from the motor block that is connected to nothing in the engine bay*
    “If I only had an idea why that could be...”
    🤣

  21. Roadman to #Desi uncle pipeline (or coolant lines?) 😁

    I reckon once #TRHamza has finished this project #car , every time one of his relatives gets married they will be asking him to do the wedding transport 😁

    I think h'es grown up a bit after his leadfooted friend badly crashed the BMW he was a passenger in a few years back, and he landed up in the care of the NHS's finest for quite a while (I remember him making a video from his hospital bed praising them)

    Genuinely good video too, its 47 minutes but its all him working on the car with 0 filler material (its as good as the Chinese engine overhaul videos)

  22. A 21 year old #mechanic and #technician from #Lotus was killed on the #A14 highway in #Rougham #Suffolk and his friend badly injured after he drove an #Emira at 100 mph (160 km/h) or more in Winter 2023 and lost control due to a wet road surface and possibly unsuitable #tyres

    (the #SpeedLimit for such a highway in England is 70 mph (112 km/h) )

  23. I keep seeing this #pictogram (top right hand corner, stick man holding a #spanner and wearing a #rosette ) on parts of #VW cars (it was also on the #DSG gearbox of my Polo). I know it means "qualified/trained #mechanic only should work on this assembly and the one in my picture is a specification of oil and refrigerant for the airco),

    I've not found any sources that #mechanics in Germany get #rosettes on completing their training, and in UK a rosette is either associated with political party membership or you might get one if you won some kind of #sports event (or a beauty contest) so I'm curious as to why its used..

  29. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬! 💫
    At last week’s @girlsday 26 students had the chance to explore careers in science that are still often considered “male-dominated.” They experienced hands-on research at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy – not only as astronomers, but also as electrical engineers and precision mechanics. 👩‍🔬🔧💡
    🛠️ They could choose from four exciting workshops:
    🔭 Pulsar Workshop: 10 students worked with real data from the 100-meter radio telescope in Effelsberg 📡 to search for pulsars – which can even be used to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Our colleagues provided worksheets and the necessary software for the task. 💻
    🤖 Line Follower: 4 participants soldered and assembled an autonomous robot that follows a pre-set line – all by itself! And yes, they got to take it home with them. 🔩✨
    ⚡ Tesla Transformer: 8 girls built their very own Tesla transformer – strong enough to light up a fluorescent tube just by being nearby – without any contact! 💥💡
    🧩 Puzzle Workshop: 4 students crafted their own aluminum puzzle pieces in our workshop and learned that massive structures like radio telescopes are built from many small, custom-made parts – not mass-produced ones. 🛠️🔍
    Curiosity, energy, and lots of tech – thank you to everyone who made this day so special! 💜👩‍🔧 We’re already looking forward to next year!

  30. Looks like the missus's Pilot has an exhaust leak. Well, sounds like it does might be a more apt phrase.

    I was really hoping all the noise was from the heat shield, which was split; but alas, got it out - but that was only a source of 'a lot of noise'.

    Nothing is loose, I can't quite get in there to tell, but I really hope this is a gasket and not a bad cat. That sucker is expensive.

    No time to driveway this, off to the muffler shop :(
