    Proper way to check a used car?

    Dekra reports are better than nothing but do not necessarily cover 100% of the risk on the vehicle. A Dekra report, for example, will not evaluate the chain tensioner on a 1.4TSi engine when it is a very well known problem. A mechanic who works on the type of car you want to buy is who you...

    Soldering and Hot Air Station

    This probably won't fit your needs exactly, but it's worth mentioning. Maybe more for hobby use. Miniware TS101 Pros: Really portable. I've used it powered off a cigarette lighter adapter (12V) to fix an RC quad. This newer version (Ihave the older TS100) can use USB-C PD. Nice selection of...

    Suzuki Cars?

    If it's straight after an engine bay wash, check if water has not collected in the spark plug wells. I have no idea what the Suzuki engine looks like, or if it even has a normal coil-on-plug situation, but water has probably gotten in somewhere. Take a hair dryer and dry out all the electric...

    Ideas for turning home smart?

    Oh also going back to smart homes in general: The one thing I bought that I would never give up is my Broadlink RM3. Lets me turn on the TV, home theatre and box with one tap. Also turn on the air conditioner while im on the way home. It's the little things 😂

    Ideas for turning home smart?

    I've invested in quite a few Shelly 1's some years back and they're great for a few reasons: Small enough to fit behind most light switches Has open HTTP API. So works easily with Home Assistant but also anything that can speak to an HTTP API. Don't need to load Tasmota or simlar to integrate...

    It's too big

    I was in a similar situation and almost bought a PCIe extension to mount the GPU vertically, but depends on your airflow, whether the case would support a vertical GPU bracket, etc.

    Yep, looks like that's the only option. Amazon doesn't seem to have any in stock either.

    Yo, did you come right with this? I want to try converting my Mistel MD770 with these, but the R600 delivery fee via DigiKey is a bit shocking 😂

    Weird problem with Mercedes C180

    I don't have any experience with your specific car, but 2004+ VW Polo's exhibit the same behaviour. The power steering pump on these cars are now electric, not belt driven off the engine as older cars were. A quick check under the bonnet will tell you.

    98 Pump Fuel - Where to Get?

    If you're near BP on Rivonia Rd, they do sell OB1 (cash only). I found OB1 visibly (via VCDS on my old Golf) reduced timing change. This was on a stock car. I use it on track days not for more power, but more to make sure that I'm not relying on a knock sensor while thrashing the car about.

    Port Forwarding Debacle

    I've just been through this dance with WA support a few months back and it was enough of a battle just explaining what I was trying to do (expose my OctoPi for remote access). Thanks for the info, at leat I know I have another option.

    Hybrid for the win

    Congrats. For that size body, it's quite good consumption. Seems like it's mainly the Toyota's and Suzuki's that come close to their quoted consumption figures these days. Also, at least you don't have to tell people you drive a Kia 🤣

    Xiaomi Vacuum Mop - issue [help/guidance needed]

    It sounds like your dock charging strips might be the problem. If it could not see the dock locating LED's, it would say "can't find dock", but from what you describe, it is finding the dock, it just doesn't seem to be getting any voltage when it bumps into the sensors, which is what I think is...

    Buy new car or continue saving installment

    I know this is exactly what you said you didn't want (advice on the car), so let me put it this way: Life is short. Buy what you want if you can afford it. As long as you get what you want. Make sure the T-Cross is what you want. If I'm going to give you one piece of advice, it's this: Rent a...

    UPS for Unifi POE switch (48V)

    So I am using one of the Gizzu DC UPS that has a PoE output. Whether it supports 802.3at or af or bt or god knows which standard, I can't confirm. But it does power my nanoHD which also requires 802.3af (basically, the nanoHD normally won't run on passive 24V, only 48V upward, but it does run...

    R1000 an hour is on the high side, yes, but 5 hours to fit a pre-fabricated exhaust? Shame, I see now that I didn't even reply to him. I should send one now asking for updated pricing. :ROFLMAO:

    Tuner car starting point in SA recommendation?

    Ok, so fun daily? I've also seen a few Accords floating around the R100K mark. High mileage of course. I'm not familiar with the Hondas, but it's supposed to have some nice K24 engine right?

    Tuner car starting point in SA recommendation?

    Yup at that price, a TDi is going to have the best "tunability". Just remember even old lady driven TDi's can mean a sticky VNT mechanism. If it's going to be a daily then TDi gets my vote any day of the week. Just inspect what you can before buying like camshaft lobes, flywheel, control arm...

    Car guys please help :)

    So...how did you figure this out? :ROFLMAO: +1 on checking the ignition coils. You should also get the car scanned by someone with VCDS (diagnostic cable). Sometimes the codes can help you narrow stuff down.
