Memorable Ingenious Hacks by connkg(m): 7:08am On Nov 26, 2016 |
Here again to learn from (and impress?) Ogas here (Gazzuzz, kingreign, mayor2013, Siena?, Ikenna?) Anyway, I saved some money in this economy and want to share how. This is beyond DIY car servicing. This is money-saving in recession. Here goes: I cleaned my air filter in soapy water with a toothbrush and dried it with compressed air. It looked so new! Since I wasn't sure of the material it was made of, I didn't use any solvents. Oya, please share yours. I'm waiting for (new) tyre hacks... |

1. I had a leaking radiator while doing interstate and the mechanics didn't want to help, they wanted to charge me tooth and nail and also delay me. As a sharp guy, I bought #150 eggs that is 6, poured it into the radiator and l was fine for 400km+ 2. Honda hala cold start. I needed to warm the engine, so I got a tin of milo, poured saw dust ignite the contraption and used a flat stone as cover, placed the shit around engine for 5mins or less pushed the car while kicking the ignition, car came alive like a new born pup. |

dhemmyhardy: I saw it done in a Rambo movie back then and it worked for me but the radiator was condemned, had to flush the engine 4 times the car is an old cargo Honda hala you won't want to try it on an expensive ride. Above all, the egg was nicely DONE |

So, weeks back I bought a digital tyre air pressure gauge online. I pumped-up the tyres at my roadside "vulcaniser's". I checked at home with my gauge...and none of my tyres was below 57psi! I believe age and use have degraded the spring in many roadside "vulcaniser's" equipment. (I had checked with him, as I requested 40psi). I have let out air to my desired 30psi. *DIY equipment keep increasing! Tools, scanner, gauge,air pump(?), compressor(?). Why should EVERYONE have to have everything?! |
