Thank you for the video, just what I needed. Strange so little oil came out. Did you measure the top up so we know what it should be? Thanks again for taking the time to post.
It was probably about 0.5-1 litres. Best to keep adding until the level is right. All these engines have different capacity for oil. I wouldn’t believe a word the manual says. Mine said something ridiculous like 1.1 litres which is way over the dipstick.…..
Maybe not too deep but you need to push it in a little. The prongs are very robust on this one, no fear of damage as long as you push it in straight and pull directly out.
You should probably invest in a portable air tank, if you don't already have one, and blow all the grass and dirt off these things before servicing. There was a lot of dirt and gunk around all the plugs you removed which you know will find it's way into the engine and trans. For bead leaks on tires I find that lightly scuffing the rim and using bead sealer goes a long way and I don't have to buy so many tires. Great video though and I've learned something new. Cheers.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. The mower is, sadly, at the bottom of the list of priorities. My primary aim is to keep it running and finding time to cut the grass (over 0.5 acres of grass). The poor little HF1211 was designed for a nice manicured lawn, not our mole-ridden bump-fest of a garden 😂 In the latest video I change the front tyre. What an effort!😢
@@Himoutdoors I had to put a tube in one of my front tires before I could use mine and There won't be a next time. What a PITA that was. from now on I'm going to the store and buying a tire on the rim for 45 dollars, it's worth it. As I write this, I noticed now the other tire is now flat...lol...off to the parts mower I go cus it has one front tire still holding air. I have an acreage and my Husqvarna 2042 is not cut out for this either but it's all I got for now. Keep them videos coming they are awesome.
North facing, but gets a lot of light. The latest room is in Eddy which is a green version, similar tone to the borrowed lights blue. I’ll post a video. Really difficult to show on video as it always changes the colours.
Thanks for the video. Seems to be a British thing to use oddball or security screws on HiFi gear. Despite my extensive tool collection, I had to order a new set of specialty bits to get a T6 Torx bit. I used long-handled hemostats to remove and replace the belt. I also had to order a new belt. Mine wasn't broken, but was old and stiff. As a stop-gap measure, I heated the old belt a bit with a heat gun, and it worked until the replacement arrived. Support from Cambridge Audio is non-existent, as tends to be the case for many HiFi companies on their older products. There are exceptions (like McIntosh), but most want you to buy their new gear.
Tools tools tools. If I added up how much I spent on tools… Luckily CA use a lot of standard off the shelf parts from the big guys so hopefully wear items can be sourced, but I agree, no support whatsoever after you purchase. Hopefully the non-moving bits last longer. In our modern age of Alexas and HomePods, hifi separates are really out of favour. I expect you could build an audiophiles dream for spare change. Even charity shops won’t accept CDs, so we may be at a bottom in that regard. I’m hanging onto my CDs not just for posterity, but as a rite of passage for my children - my opinion of my parents increased substantially when I discovered their record collection. They were young and cool once, too…
@@Himoutdoors I still have my CDs, but I can see why they are going out of fashion. A CD has a storage capacity of 700MB. If you get a scratch on it, it sometimes won't play. The plastic jewel cases break all the time. And now, you can get a 256GB USB drive you can hold in the palm of your hand. That's 365 CDs worth of data. With one exception (Alpine), most car CD players I've had failed. Cassette tapes in cars were more reliable. I am thinking of going to a network storage drive for all my digital music. But I do still own and use a turntable!
@@southerner66 I love it that you still play records. I have some vinyl but no turntable. One day, I’ll set it up. Maybe I’ll build a garden room for my musical instruments and put in a proper sound system!
Thanks for the video. My AZUR 851C has another problem: It doesn't read the CD, drives in and out and shows "Tray Error". Does anyone have an idea why this might be? Thank you for your help.
If you can source another 851C for spares you might be able to replace the whole CD transit mechanism? Probably fairly cheap spares and repair out there… providing the cd transit still works….good luck!
Hey, i have a cambridge audio cxc transport and recently the tray is jittering/vibrating while it closes. Do you think it needs a new belt or needs to be greased?
Yeah sounds like the belt is perished and slipping. Try that first and see if it improves things. Greasing will only make it worse. You want grip, not slip! 👍🏻
Hi, second had cars are bad enough, but second hand mowers 🫣 Have a look here: www.motoculture-jardin.com/forum/upload/_other20202/1625816522_HONDA-HF-1211-Manuel-d-atelier-pdf
Thanks for this. Unlike some I spent no time trying to work it out myself and came straight to RU-vid. The stupid thing about this is that two years later and people still have to come here because Miele haven’t yet realised that their manual is shit 😆
I do not think much of the KitchenAid as I feel they are made in china not many made in USA as they are far too expensive plus comparing to Kenwood they do not have the power of a Kenwood even the new sunbeam is great as well but now they are all made in china / where my last Kenwood went for 30 years doubt the new ones will be as good 😀
My kitchenaid says Made in USA. It’s a 5KSM150. St Joseph, Michigan, USA. Kenwood are good, I agree. Not much between them, I guess it depends on what you like the look of. If I were to buy again I’d get one with a fixed head where you lift the bowl up to the head. Tilt head mixers get wobbly too quickly and need adjusting too often IMO. Also stainless steel mixer parts, of course! 🤓
Hi , I have same machine Honda and I suggest you every five years to spend 1 hour to clean them in video it easy to see that you take care . This Honda it is very strong and support everything.
Mate, thanks ever so much for doing this video, it really helped me to get the starter motor off. No joy with the pry bar method but it popped off the taper with a 6" puller.
Glad it was helpful mate! Even if you could find someone to work on it, how do you get it to them? Actually I need to take the flywheel off again as I think the magneto needs replacing. Hot starts are an issue. I have a magneto in the shed somewhere but where I put it, I have no idea….
1: Your primary air is closed off with only your secondary air open. 2: Your stove door is closed which, along with the primary air being shut off, is reducing the amount of oxygen within the chamber. To combat a struggling initial fire in a stove, have both of your air intakes open (both primary and secondary) and leave the door slightly open for increased oxygen intake.
So glad I took a leap of faith & followed your advice. £4 off eBay for new belt band & it was fixed in no time! Your kid sounds like a future oxbridge candidate- smarty!!Thank you
Ps! Good advice from another reviewer we are now following ..never place Sky box on top of CD player.. the heat causes the belt to corrupt. Probably obvious to non f*wits
What's the procedure for jacking up a lr4 i would like to do the maintenance myself on it like brakes, tire rotation and the propshaft but scared incase i bugger up the air suspension settings because it takes a hissy fit when done wrong. Thanks
It’s not difficult, but it’s a big heavy car with a lot of ground clearance, and when you jack it up, it (unhelpfully) thinks it’s off road and it tries to keep the wheels on the ground by lowering them even more. The best thing to do is take out the air suspension fuse which stops this happening. Get yourself a 3 tonne jack and jack stands (I got mine from Clarke) choose a jack with over 520mm of lift and get pumping! These cars are not difficult to work on. Brakes are easy peasy, like most modern cars. There’s a technique to adjusting the rear brake shoes, again plenty of videos on RU-vid about those. As long as you jack up on the frame rails or the front crossbeam, it’s easy to get the jack stands in there. Good luck!
Certainly was. I will not use the guy again, and I reported him to the standards company and told them they might want to do more testing of his product.
B.S. If you like devices, fine. Experience for those using firewood seriously means one learns to season. Here's what one does: Splits will check on ends. The logs split will be lighter than when green. Many wood species will grey over time seasoning. Banging two splits together will often "ring" like baseball bats. And, in the wood stove unseasoned logs will sizzle. The moisture meters are not accurate for firewood. They do break. JMNSHO from decades heating with self harvested firewood.
Thanks for your experience, really helpful. I agree about the timbre of the wood when you knock it together. It resonates. I’m a relatively newcomer to seasoning and burning wood so always happy to learn more tricks. We have a 1 acre garden with plenty of trees which need work so always wood about to season and burn. The moisture meter may not be accurate, but it is more scientific than nothing. What I have found makes the biggest difference is covering the wood to protect from rain and snow. If you do this you can store wood outside and give it long enough and it will season. Thanks again!🙏
If anyone struggles with this, i have just done a belt replacement without removing the entire transport system and without breaking the pulley covers, locating the clips that allow the tray to move further forward to enable unhindered access to the belt and pulleys.
South Mississippi here. The drought experienced during the 2023 summer really put my drying time in the fast lane. I have racks of both oak and pecan, all metering at 10% or less. Curious to note, the oak dried and seasoned quicker than the pecan. Not sure why, but I thought it would be just the opposite. Thanks for your post. Very informative.
No brainer as far as I can see. When I got the manifold off, the rear bolt was loose. Obvious to see why once the bolt is removed. There aren’t any threads left…..😂
You got scammed. Woodsure was a half-baked attempt at sorting that sort of scam out, but it is half-baked because it directly penalises small-scale firewood producers aiming for high quality local markets whilst favouring the big boys. It also puts even more stress on local councils (trading standards) for enfoircement when they are aready struggling after years of salami-slicing cuts and then austerity..
Well this guy is a local, small scale producer but his product is poor quality. So it’s not just about size. There is another local provider which has very high quality firewood which I would use again. Woodsure need to sort themselves out, otherwise it’s another useless standard that doesn’t mean anything.
@@Himoutdoors I'd agree. They need to sort out quality issues, monitoring for the end users and issues with the 'chilling' effect on artisan suppliers. Currently Woodsure is half-baked.
Yes lots of people have no clue buyers and sellers about how dry the wood should be. Great explanation👍 Is that length of the log normal for you? Normal here is 16”
Thanks. Here in the UK most log burners are 5kW and pretty shallow, just for keeping the sitting room cost rather than heating the whole house, so a 10” log is pretty standard. Mine are a mixture depending on what the tree guys chopped up 🤭. I try to be more consistent when cutting as it helps with stacking. Whereabouts are you based?
@@outdoorsinthe608 looks like you have a similar climate to the UK…. It’s -2C here at the moment but it’s normally not this cold thanks to the jet stream. I’ve subscribed to your channel too! Have a Good Friday!
