Alternator ABS

[metalworker0]

my exhaust looked at least 10 years old or more when i bought it 6 years ago .. still good now

yours must be a poor quality exhaust .. bosal or something sounding like that were not that good

Timax used to be a good brand with 2 year warranty on it

diesel exhausts often last the lifetime of the vehicle.. because of the oily soot in them

stainless steel wire .. requires more amps heat etc .. hard to grind down .. so be good at it so it does not need grinding.

15 nm

dont apply to undoing it .. going to be much more than that doulble or triple maybe

feel your tools feedback .. just before something snaps, it always feels springy .. you feel that and you stop!

Bosal are long gone! The exhausts rot from the exterior up here. The first pic is a genuine Ford centre pipe and the box has gone from the exterior. The second pipe is the one I put on two winters ago, it has gone from the exterior and has now eaten down to the last remaining, wafer thin peice of inner steel Thw bends on the Tourneo pipe let water hang there and then it starts eating through.

You have no idea of the type of climate up here. I have to epoxy and stone chip the inner of my steel wheel every two years because they will be eaten away from the rear



I have now, cold galvanised my new pipe with zinc primer and then stone chipped it. I have been out for a few forty mile drives and the stonechip seems totally unaffected by the heat, not even an odour, unlike waxoi, that stinks, when that gets on the pipe. I have been feeling the pipe after these journeys, with my hand, and they are only warm. It seems to only be hot up at the front at the manifold and a bit more at the CAT. I obviously left the D.P.F. bare.

Some bloke up here, well about fifteen years ago, he got some of the muck (what everyone calls salt) from the council, to spread on his
pathway up to his house. Anyway, he piled it all up on his front doorstep and a few days later he went to use it and it had eaten about half an inch into the concrete on his step, taken the corner of his step right off..

It was just a means of rocking the threads whilst guaranteeing no over torque. These things, especially when old and brittle, are prone to snapping like dried twigs with no feedback whatsoever. I have never snapped one personally but there seems to be very little, if no feedback when they go, according to those more with more experience with them than I. When you are actually living it and have to face the consequences of one actually snapping I cannot be so gung-ho and prefer to tread very carefully. As mentioned earlier these things have no impact whatsoever on the vehicle starting. All mine have been knackered for ages and my van starts first flick, so, I am in no rush.


I get no battery liamp anymore, on the Connect but, am not too sure what actually cured it as the lamp was still illuminated after fitting the new alternator. I am loathe to believe it was cleaning the earth under the tray and at the gearbox.

I wonder when the Strait of Hormuz, in the Persian Gulf, and now the Bab-el-Mandeb strait at Yemen, being closed to all Saudi shipping, is going to hit the west. Along with two of Saudi's biggest oil terminals being on fire. The Saudi company, Aramco, closed its Jazan oil refinery on Sunday after the attack on Saturday. This was producing 400,000 barrels per day. The chickens must surely be coming home to roost soon and is the price diesel going to go through the roof?

That is the first time they have blocked my images like that in 12 years. The joys of the digital control grid.

i don't know what's going on with the pictures

You do know that you can load pics from your device directly into the forum

oh after looking at your url .. the image host has been banned by many sites

looking further turns out both image hosts are dodgy

As regards protecting exhaust

Probably said this here more than once

I built an exhaust for as lawn mower many years ago .. and just slapped some paint i had laying about on it .. that paint was "Zinc Chromate", a heavy yellow primer .. that mower lived outside and was started up and used for many years .... it never rusted or burnt off the paint .

The paint is now hard to come by, i think it was banned.

You'll maybe find some at a car boot sale one day.
