Let's us know what you think of these longer more in depth workshop episodes! And what topics should Dan cover next? Thanks for watching!

@hjfilms2615 8 месяцев назад

What do you need to make a dual battery from kings and how to wire it up? I know you have made videos on dual batteries but I still don’t know how they work and what each different piece does.

@MicahBell_1860 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely. Let's start at the beginning. Basic servicing. Oils, filters, priming fuel pumps, pads & shoes etc. & NOT JUST BLOODY PATROLS!!! Just kidding. But the differences we may find in different makes etc

Regardless of the otherwise excellent content in this episode, I'd like to say how much I really appreciate the articulate, intelligent dialogue and Dan's obvious mechanical knowledge and experience. AA's relaxed style belies just how focused you are, setting the standard and the example in this crowded, but not necessarily good youtube space. It's why I watch follow your channel!

Putting grease inside hubs to stop moisture is another good tip... but i rekon valve adjustments boys... plus more importantly so many people forget their transmissions, diffs, trans axles, brakes, cooling systems, hubs and power steering services on their vehicles.

I knew brake fade was caused by less friction due to excessive heat. But never realised there was gasses causing the loss of friction. I guess I just learnt something. Cheers Dan. Yes to more whiteboard theory explanations

Just let Dan fully nerd out with a whiteboard, a three hour raw cut, I’d watch that.

@davidcase4041 8 месяцев назад

Sensei Dan, didn’t realise there was issues with gas build up. As an owner of a ‘95 GQ, I will be visiting the Ptotex website. I have probably learnt more from this video, than many hours watching previous you tube videos. You have a fantastic demeanour, and tied with your knowledge, it has been a joy to watch. More of this please Dan.

@AussieArvos 8 месяцев назад

What an amazing video. The depth of knowledge delivered is awesome. I can't wait to see more of this content. It would be good to look at all the easy to do at home things, or 1 day jobs. The common maintenance things. So excited for more.

@worthy_escapes 8 месяцев назад

Amazing video from you guys and good work Dan. For those who haven't actually taken the time to learn this stuff themselves, you have a great way of simplifying it. I think a lot of people learn a lot from you guys and you are doing something not many others do. Keep it up

@brentmcd12 8 месяцев назад

Go the Patrol! 🛻 great to see Dan's video like this heaps interesting! 📹🤙😎

@stanleyj.mitchell4851 8 месяцев назад

Thank you. I learnt more here about brakes than I ever knew.

@35manning 8 месяцев назад

The basic mechanic stuff was worth watching. The extra engineering deep dive into why things happen, like the pads off gassing, is the sort of thing that I LOVE to learn because understanding why gives me the ability to make educated decisions instead of just following a replacement guide. Keep on it. Btw, I love my '89 GQ LWB wagon with td42 silvertop. I want to get a cab chassis version to turn into an off-road tow truck. If only I had the money and workshop space to do it...

@AussieArvos 8 месяцев назад

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

@nickunw 8 месяцев назад

Engineering whiteboard! It’s like Larko during the v8 Supercars. It should interrupt every episode for a quick explainer to a technical situation. Love it

@paulmccallum6965 8 месяцев назад

@jakehooper495 8 месяцев назад

I've been working on my own cars for 25yrs. Never knew that thing about the little oring on the caliper piston. I kinda never thought about it either, just assumed it was brake caliper faires that sorted out that operation.

Has a qualified technician , Dan just explained the principle like a champ 🎉, a lot of people these days don’t realised how small things can impact bigger stuff , I always explain to family and my surroundings how parts actually work and how it can be affected because safety is the main priority. Excellent video , we need more of these video 😊

@jackrxgq123459 8 месяцев назад

This kind of stuff is perfect especially for someone like myself I’m pretty handy at fixing things but not so good at diagnostics. there’s plenty of videos on how to fix things but this type of video helps with understanding where to look for failures and Dan explains things in a way that’s easy for even a carpenter to understand 😂 👌

@marksmith3631 8 месяцев назад

Definitely need more of these EP's. More engineering white board. Been a "home mechanic" for years, working and modifying my own cars and others, and picked up a few points I didn't know. Definitely following with great interest More important - how do we get to the question list for the next master class?

@lethil 6 месяцев назад

Damn great video, I like Dan's attention to detail and how meticulous he is. Shows the difference between someone who knows what they are talking about and are a professional, and someone that's just doing DIY. Keep this up I think its great for educational and entertainment purposes.

@andrewfischer8126 8 месяцев назад

i found also the slide bolts on the calliper, if they get dirt rust etc. they bind as well, so i clean them up with a brace wire brush on a bench grinder, and check if there in okay shape. also make sure the rubber booth around the slide is good. i apply a fin bit of bearing grease or rubber grease onto the the slide. this ensures the floating calliper can slide freely along that shaft. if its in poor condition, change it

@andrewcoulter323 4 месяца назад

love the tip on grinding down the old bearing races to use to install the new races....with calipers sticking, I had a sticking caliper, I replaced and greased the caliper slides, to find I had a hole in the boot that covers the hydraulic seal and dirt etc had built up inside the bore between the hydraulic sealing ring and the boot,,, I ended up rebuilding the caliper but spent a lot of time removing that build up of dirt etc...

@thelighthousekeepers8177 6 месяцев назад

I learned alot from this. It's helped that I've pulled apart brakes a few times as a DIY mechanic, so I can actually visualise what is explained. Also, great presenting style. Crazy that a 50c part is what keeps our brake pads retracting. Cheers!

@AussieArvos 8 месяцев назад

That's it haha !

@TheDrewboy84 8 месяцев назад

Great info and tips! I also use the old bearing race to tap in the new one, but i find just cutting a slot all the way through on one side is enough to allow it to drop back out without getting stuck.

@SHOCKcustoms 7 месяцев назад

Absolute master in his multiple crafts. Only problem with slotted rotors for off road use I'd they fill with mud and flog the disk out. Particularly if going through muddy water or bog holes.

@Caml80 8 месяцев назад

When Dan was talking about the TB42 carby and reliability. It reminded me of a saying I have heard a few times. The best way to engineer reliability, design an engine capable of 200kw and detune it to 100kw!
