A huge hole opened up in the middle of the driveway, our new house came with a hidden water feature!

After moving in about five weeks ago, we started to notice a slight dip in the middle of the driveway but didn't take too much notice of it It got progressively worse over that time and then suddenly a hole appeared, worryingly we had been driving over it up until now with the removal lorry, the camper van, the pickup and the cars Apparently about 50 years ago there was a well feeding water to ...
2012 t6 Ford Ranger P00BD fault code diagnosed using forscan but its not a split hose or air leak
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 8 měsíci
Welcome back to the channel, in this video I finally manage to sort out a running issue with the ranger where the Drivetrain or Powertrain Warning lamp would illuminate on the dash, sometimes followed by the EML light too Reading the ECU using a free copy of Forscan gave a P00BD code indicating MAF "A" Circuit Range/Performance Flow Too High- this would normally indicate a split hose or air lea...

Disaster?
it works ok, I've had inconsistent results with it tbh, some elements work better than others but used it on a few repairs since and for the price its been quite handy to have around
Spoke to a Dewalt guy on a roadshow. They split the shafts to half the shipping costs. No other good engineering reason other than ease of shipping.
yeah that makes sense, cant see any other real positive to it although some may benefit from the design
Iv never hand any panel come of from glue only people who have had that issue are dummies using pritstic 😂
yeah some think that one adhesive fits all
What did you use for the fuse holder?
they were just a couple of generic blade fuse holders i had laying around
Thanks for putting this video together - good practical, real world advice - just what I was looking for !
thanks for the kind comment, glad it helped
Great review thank you 🤝
thanks for the comment
Sir, the rear air vent. Is the only way to access it by removing the tub?because my ford t6 water leaking through that.
Mine too, need to take off the tub and put some sikaflex arroun the vents
@@sebastiangermany1398 ok i will try. Thanks
sorry i didn't take the vent out but hopefully Sebastian's comment has helped
Very precise description worked a treat thank you 👍🏻
glad it was helpful
Do you have maybe a link where is that product for sale? Nice video and all the best!
Jacksons Leisure and Nomadic Leisure both list this item as well as Fiamma themselves
Good to see some more variety on the channel Paul. You are a man of many talents.
Thanks Dewi
Thanks for showing the location of the BCM. I need to find a + or - feed from the reverse switch (under gear lever gator I believe). Finding the wire at BCM seems an easier job than removing plastic trim around gear lever. Can you tell me which wire and which plug receives a + or - from the reverse switch?
tbh this was a year ago and I've not had a need to look under there since, i don't have the schematics for the loom unfortunately so not sure which wires you're looking for sorry, i just followed the instructions given with the kit
No intro, but this seems a nightmare job to wire a tow bar. I fitted a tebas7 relay and just tapped into the wires at the left rear. Am I missing something that explains why this kit is a good solution?
tbh i just bought the kit as it was a dedicated fit for the van, tow bars are a lot more complex that they used to be thats for sure
Hi Paul - I have an MAN too. Any ideas on how to fix a real rattly sliding door. I can't find anything specific to MAN TGEs. The noise is becoming unbearable. 2020 LWB. Deal did change the rollers under warrant. Cheers
I've not really had much of an issue with mine tbh but I'd start by lubricating the door locators on the 'B' pillar and making sure the runners are in good condition, my replacement door was a new take off unit and came with the runners, the one that came off the van was seized and worn flat- replace (if worn) or adjust the locking mechanism in the 'C' pillar to pull the door in tighter, you can also get extended rubber stops that put extra pressure on the door when its closed but personally i dont like that idea
Hellou, How can you easily get to the fuel pump?
easiest way would be to drop the tank down unless you have the bed off the back as the pump is situated in the fuel tank
Any idea how much the tub weighs?
no but with the rear supported by the engine lift it was easily manageable weight wise, needed two people to lift more due to its size and awkward shape etc
Love how kitty comes in from time to time to inspect things 😺
yeah they're known for their curiosity, he's only a kitten so doesn't want to be left out of anything lol
Great job and another well put together video
thanks for the kind comments, glad you enjoyed it
What was the symptoms when the ranger was running? Apart from the code
it kept going into limp mode with reduced power
An excellent job there Paul,very professionally done,expected no less from you.
thanks Dewi, getting there now
Was it leaking from the crank seal or between the oil pan? Did replacing the seal stop the leak for good?
tbh i'm not 100% where it was leaking from but assumed it was the seal
Good progress Paul, looking great
Showing the actual dismantling of everything would of been helpful.
i'll do my best
Hi Paul, thanks for the video! Extremely useful. I was wondering if have you got a link to the terminals you used? I'm struggling to find ones that will go sufficiently through the black plug to connect to the pins. Thanks!
not sure if the link will work but ill add it to the description too, these were the ones i got www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131533244586?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=r6kzCbk-Tvy&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=KsBqpojkR8i&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@paulsprojects1 thank you!
Have you got a video of taking the utility hard top off?
no sorry I didn't get that on video unfortunately, from memory there were three bolts at the rear bolting it directly to the bed and a piece of stainless angle iron at the front
Which number holes did you use in the end for the rear bracket? Im guessing this is for the LWB Crafter considering you but the 4 meter awning ?
its in the video, i used the last two holes as the instructions were wrong, yes its a lwb van
Hi mate!! Amazing job!! Could you please share the suspension setup??
tbh it was quite a while ago now and the its no longer here but from memory the front was lifted by dropping the hub on the strut by one hole then adding reinforcement (angle iron and c section ) - the rear needed major reconstruction due to rust so i made new upper spring mounts and fitted mk5 escort front coil springs and modified sierra rear shocks (length was ideal but mounting holes needed modifying )
Amazing job well done Paige❤😂
cheers Karl
That's a lot of work there Paul,good to see Paige transitioned from a FLT to a mini digger!
yeah lots done but lots to do, Paige is always keen to help
Thanks, thought they would come off the same as the old sprinters and transits. But after finding your vid every days a school day 👍🏻
thanks for the comment, glad it helped
Hello Thank you very much for your support and sharing!
What size torx bit do you need for the hinge
Sika 252 according to the instructions, but who knows if that is right considering the other mistakes in the instructions during the assembly stage! Thanks for your video, it was a great help.
Sika is good stuff for sure but we've had no issues with the adhesive used so far
Everybody just shows how to replace a belt, how to do the crankshaft phasing if you have lost the phase, where are the markings ?
as long as you use the locking pins the engine should be in time, just make sure you rotate it by hand for a couple of revolutions before trying to start it to check that nothing touches or locks up
@@paulsprojects1 I have managed to find the markings on the crankshaft, they are on the external belt pulley and on the timing belt cover. There was a slight misalignment of the camshaft due to the bad/worn timing tool that was not the exact thickness that allowed the camshaft to move for a few degrees. Those engines are very sensitive to misalignments.
how much did you get the ranger for??
I had a good deal on it from a trader after having a good look around and pointing out just how bad it was, he did offer to put a new mot on it for a couple of hundred more but I'm doubtful that it would have been fixed to a decent standard for that
Could you tell me what size are the bolts that hold the hinge T.... something. Thanks very much
off the top of my head i think they were 10 or 12mm spline/triple square type bolts
That was way easier than a jigsaw! Is it available for hire?
Good video with nice explanation.
Great video. Clear and concise. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Very professional Paul,this will help you with the barns and the house work.
Thanks Dewi, next one up soon hopefully
Think i might have same issue. Hoping
Why dont change the Timing belt from the Oilpump? I dont understand this... easy work and its so important. The CT1218 cost maybe 15-20 Dollars maximum! Thats called " Botch ".
thanks for watching, looking forward to your video on the subject!
They came up very well Paul, hope you manage to wire them up ok.
thanks Dewi, they look a lot better, just need to get them fitted now
Good progress Paul,slow going on your own but looking good.
Did u make a template for the plate?
no I didn't sorry, just made the plate to suit the application, it will probable be different for each situation depending on how the door is cracked
Hi Paul thank you for your video as was very useful. I have just got a CNC machine and are using the same material. I am wondering what feeds and speeds you are running on the outline cuts to get such neat cuts?
Fab PAul! you have given me enough confidence to have a go at this myself! Nice one!
@@paulsprojects1 Hey Paul, just starting and first hurdle is how to access the wiring conduit thats under the cab floor? I cant seem to see how to do it - any help most welcome!
Glad to see this kind of content. I have a 2011 ranger and I love it
Lot of work to do Paul but it will be worth it when it's done. Possibly go with a 2 poster.
quality 2 post lift will be all you need :D
