Video of Breather Cleaning
« on: 31 December 2006, 00:25:42 »

Further to the success of the Cam Belt DVD, who would fancy a DVD of breather cleaning?  I have a car that could be used and I also have a camera and the necessary software to edit and make the DVD.  Obviously, I can't do both though.

What do people reckon?  Is it worth it?

Its well worth doing. Its so much better when you can actually see what's happening. Your missus doesn't need to go to night school and become a mechanic, I'm sure she could point a video camera. :)

Nice!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Seriously though, I would have a little trouble with this as I am, somewhat thankfully, single!  Maybe I could set the camera up on a tripod or something.  I will have a think.

Funnily enough we had been thinking about this and a few other things.

We are looking at putting together a DVD of various servicing tasks.

Crank sensor replacement
Breather cleaning
Rocker gasket replacement
Rear brake service

Any others?

You should Include removing and cleaning throttle bodies when doing breather DVD.

Also could consider:

HBV replacement
Instrument panel /MID removing
Gearbox oil level or change
Droplink replacement
Wishbone replacement
Track rod replacement

In rear brake service, include handbrake adjusting - that is something that appears to always be done incorrectly.

I will willingly offer a car for autobox fluid change/handbrake/diff oil etc etc etc and stuff my face whilst watching the experts do all the work ;D
