I have started, adding a little something here and there from today and until then.
I plan on installing a few additional "refinements" to deal with such things, @QBranch .
I have basic knowledge of how to service a car, and I learn the rest as I go along. I've always had a knack for working on electronics and mechanical devices, and I'm in the middle of earning my Certified Electronics Technician certificate.
Soldering isn't as though as a lot of people make it sound. It's the kind of thing where, with a little hands on practice, you'll have it in no time. It never hurts to have some solder wicking around to clean up any mistakes.
@Mrcoggins It's a 2000 Volvo S70 non-turbo. Currently at 188,000 miles. Good car, but it has some transmission issues.
Next thing is How Much ? Room do you have between the rear part of the led and fan unit and the cover when it's in it's correct position.
Then note the Top position of the cover when fitted and mark with a suitable method the position of 12 o'clock e.g. Straight upward
Return the cover to the bench,and treat the rear of the cover as a clock face with the top being 12 then you need to mark the position of I &2 o'clock on the right side and 11 & 10 on the left side draw or scribe a line through all the marks you have made down the cover to the centre hole hat you have drilled
Then at an equal distance from the hole in the middle to the outside edge drill a series of holes on the line that you have made only one per clock division is required the size of hole is that of a 3mm drill bit
That should give you enough air flow to the fan and any heatsink on the lamp unit.
I hope this has been of some help to you.@BMW.
Got it all done eventually, although I have already decided that next Christmas their will be a nice little 007 addition to this years exterior decorations!
Doing anything nice,or anything not ?
I'm leaving work at 12.30GMT today so heading off home and then off for a pub lunch with my gal ..yum yum .
I know, I am such a warm-hearted guy.
It's at the LA Convention Center. I'm letting a friend drive since I don't know that particular area.
I used to think the Polaris Slingshot was dumb. Now I have to own one. Surprisingly comfortable; I could picture myself flooring it with the stupidest grin on my face.
Honda's build quality has fallen through the floor. The interior components were some of the cheapest, lousiest ones there. The rear hatch on the Civic Type-R on display was broken so that it wouldn't shut and it had duct tape on it.
Mitsubishi was the only company with cheaper feeling interior than Honda.
Kia's build quality has greatly improved. Their interior bits seemed well constructed and I was rather impressed with the new Stinger.
Aston Martin needs a bigger presence at this event, and they should have let people sit in one of their cars like most of the other manufacturers.
I want a Jaguar F-Type (not a surprise)
I want a Mazda MX-5 (also not a surprise)
I could actually see myself enjoying a Fiat Spider or 500 Abarth (a bit of a surprise to me)
The new Lincolin Continental is exceedingly luxurious, in a very American, car-for-the-elderly sort of way. I was impressed. It seems like the sort of car that you would be driven around in, rather than drive yourself. A very spacious, comfortable car.
The Redspace electric car has all the sex appeal of a blender. Looks like one too.
Lexus tops Mercedes in luxury, cabin quietness, and price point.
BMW and Audi were underwhelming, especially compared to remarkably comparable options from Kia at a much lower price.
Hyundai's new luxury spin-off brand, Genesis, is a decidedly "meh" offering; nothing special and nothing impressive, with lower interior quality than I expected. This is especially surprising considering that they are the same company as Kia, whose new interiors were quite appealing.
The Tesla Model S was nice to sit in. It did seem well made and the center touch screen was as huge as I'd heard, but perhaps I was expecting to be more wowed due to all the hype I had heard about the brand prior to experiencing an example for myself. I can't say that there was anything wrong with it though.
The Ampere electric car prototype looks like something I built in my garage. I'd be pretty terrified to drive it. Still, you have to give credit to what is undoubtedly a small, low-budget, start-up trying to make it big. Perhaps the people behind it will deliver something good in the future. After all, it was just a prototype, and I'd guess an early one at that.
