Living the dream, I was thinking of living near Bansko as well, I didn't think a little ski resort would affect prices that much, triple the price? How's the noise? Dog won't shut up, are there farm animals as well?
Yea definitely the prices are higher the closer you get to Bansko. Some towns like Banya which has thermal springs are even more expensive!! Dogs aren’t too bad here…I mean, you get used to certain noises when you live in a village. People keep them as guard dogs and rarely take them on walks which is sad to see but it’s just the Bulgarian mentality. Farm animals are around, it’s not uncommon for horses to walk freely. Goats and cows will be guided through the village sometimes. Relatively the village is calm and quiet but right now I’m having problems with one neighbour burning garbage at 7am some mornings. The civilised avenues of conflict resolution don’t seem to work on the older generation here.
I have a L200 1996 model and after watching your video I confidently removed the water pump and replaced it. Thumbs up brother keep your videos coming 👏👏👏👏
Hi first off great vid helped me out no end. Just wondered did you lock up the engine to tighten the crank pulley bolt back up and did you know the torque setting to do it?
I think I just tried it in different gears until I found the one that gave the most resistance and tightened the bolt with a breaker bar. I didn’t use a torque wrench just tight tight and it’s still running fine lol
Hello, I have recently changed my radiator, thermostat, water pump and completely flushed the system. I have this issue where my lower radiator hose doesn’t get hot. But the top hose is boiling and the car over heats. Does anyone have any recommendations? Greatly appreciate. 👍
Some of my ideas: Try taking out thermostat, put in boiling or very hot water and see if the valve moves. If not movement then thermostat defective. Try putting old thermostat back as is easy and fast to do.
Yes we did. It’s well past the shell stage and currently tiling and plastering is being done. To finance it without a bank loan I went to work on a ship for very long periods. When I got home I have been working on the house. Along with the addition of a new baby and already having a toddler, I really haven’t found the time to make videos. My wife was working full time also. I did make a one take walk through video during the summer but didn’t get round to uploading but hope I do on return!
hi! How did you get this design made? I am looking to buy land and build a house in bulgaria as well. Would love to get such a model made for the place. Could you connect me to who made it for you?
Aha I’m only 3.02 in so far but I’m finding it very relaxing strangely even though I should really be watching thoughtfully as I’m going to do this to mine which I’ve just recently bought! Cracked me up with ‘hands like a budgees feet’ 🤣. Do you mind me asking where your from? Sound near to me
Sounds like you're from the North East, same as me. 😊😊 Looking into buying an old/rundown/derelict house to do up, somewhere rural close to mountains. My wife is slovak, so hopefully that'll help us get something with a lump of land. I'm interested to see how you're getting on.
Yes I’m from South Shields originally. If you buy in the north you can get such a property like you mentioned for next to nothing but it will be a hell of a lot of work. Also there won’t be much around (hence such the low price) but this may be what you’re seeking. I’ve chosen to build near a ski resort so the house prices around here are much higher as it’s a desirable area. I intend to make a follow up video this year but life is extremely hectic for me right now!
My L200 (Gen 2, which I this is?) has the 2,6L, need to change the timing belt (its about 100 000km since last time it was replaced, so getting to be about time to do so again). So I have two questions, 1. Is this the 2,6L? Looking at the servo pump/alternator it looks like mine, but then again the 2,4 and 2,6L may be built pretty much the same, other than volume. 2. How important are the torque specs on the bolts? Maybe dont be too precise on some, but which would you say I need to use torque wrench on and to what torque? Thanks in advance, this video have given me insight into what procedure!
This is 2.5L 4D56 diesel engine… Not sure on the torque specs tbh. If you need them you can find the 4D56 workshop manual on the internet and it will tell you on there.
If you decide to learn the BG language, you will reach a conclusion that nonchalant fluency is not possible. BUT! ...here is a little proof that some degree of fluency is possible. It takes a TON of work. Plus, make a deal with your wife to help you too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PWXQN1oZiOQ.html
I was not one of the lucky ones . Thank you so much for making this video dude its always a pain to film you did a really good job I highly appreciate it. Made it allot easier for me.
I don't have one, but I'm ready to kill my mechanic, my clutch went 3 weeks ago it's a 2 hour job yet he's been putting me off since , 1st it was his sons were on holiday then I'll do it Thursday then he took it Friday but its Monday now .he's 78 I'm using him 30 years n yes ready to kill him ..wish I watched a RU-vid video n tried it myself
I had put an offer in on a house in Bulgaria we were supposed to go over to finish the sale and we got held up q week which was kind of lucky because the airports closed the day we were due to fly out of Ireland, now I can't afford it .. is it a handy drive, we will revisit the house in Bulgaria deal at some point but will want to drive as we take our macaw everywhere,..
Absolutely mate! I’ve been after a decent trolley jack for a while! Hopefully when the house is built and have a place to store my tools then I’ll get a nice high lift 3T jack.
Nice home you got there in the UK, I wonder how the Bulgarian one shapes up in comparison. From what I have seen on videos, they do look a bit 1950s ish
Thanks for you're video. I only needed to change inner cv boots. I found a circlip on the end of the shaft, behind the plate, to be able to remove the cv joint. Cheers
What the fock is this a sick joke Nissan played on people😂 😂 😂 if I had to remove windshield wipers to change a fuel filter I'm taking that shit car back to the dealership for a full refund , fock you Nissan!!!
That’s not the oil pump! There’s two balance shafts one on the left and one the right both have to be timed using the timing marks on the pulleys and casing. The oil pump is driven by a gear directly off the crankshaft.
Thank u so much for the video. I have the same engine and learnings how to remove the belts myself. Workshops are expensive as hell. Btw sir i wanna ask, what's the socket size of to open those nuts?
No it’s not absolutely necessary. My reasoning was I wanted to be absolutely sure the new belt went on the same way the old belt came off. So I counted the teeth on the belt between the marks on the gears. Possibly OTT.
