if one is tight you loosen the other till it feel less or equal

Hi, I would not recomend that. There is so much force in the spring that the strut and the weigths would probbaly fly. I was thinking maybe a sandbags, so when hit absorbs energy rather than bounce the strut back. Thanks for your comment. SMI

Thanks :)

Hi, Defienietly safer option to use a garage. Gadgets need experienced operator. Best regards SMI

สวัสดี, ไม่ ฉันไม่ทำ ขอบคุณสำหรับความคิดเห็น. Hope it makes sense :) Best regards SMI

I have no idea .... :) Thanks for comment. SMI

Hi, The locks were keep on opening. I added small orings later on to hold them in position. The spring was overcompressed, as the strut rod was sliding back with a spring - I did not noticed that. Thanks for comment and best regards. SMI

Hi, It's hard to say without looking. Normally water always comes inside the door as the seal between glass and door is not perfect and should come out at the bottom of the door. The seal prevents the water to come inside the car. If you have a water gathering in the footwell, it is possible that drains outside your windshield are blocked and the water is coming through air vents. Check for leafs and other debris. Good luck and best regards SMI

In the end I had to seal off all holes with silicone. So also the little holes to which you attach the doorpanel etc. Not the most beautiful solution, but it worked.

Hi, Yes, you are right it is better to be safe than sorry. You can always remove whole column and take it to a garage to do the spring changeover only. Best regards SMI

Not much :). The tank is 2l...The storage volume for a compressed gas can be calculated by using Boyle's Law p1xV1=p2xV2 V1=(p2xV2)/p1 The final volume depends on how much are you able to compress the air. The tank I think is rated for higher pressure but standard compressors will provide around 8bar. That means that you can squeeze in about 16l of air. I'm using the tank mainly when bleeding brakes. Best regards SMI

Hi, Sorry but I do not have an access to the computer anymore. I've done initial setup based on the supplied user manual. Best regards SMI

Hi, Sorry, but I'm not able to answer that question. Best regards SMI

Hi, Good idea but it want help you if that ram will hit other parts of your body. I was thinking about sand bags...something hard to move and able to absorb the energy so the ram have limited ability to bounce off. Generally can be dangarous job. Thanks for your comment. Best regards SMI

Hi, You can fill any tank, I think, with compressed air as long as it has got suitable pressure rating. Compressed air can be dangerous so stay safe and do some research before playing with it. Best regards SMI

Hi, I think it is project for kind scrap unused fittings rather than buying new fittings fromlocal hardware store. Possible that you may find complete compressor cheaper than all the fittings. Thanks for the comment and best regards SMI

Hi, Tbh. I would not bother getting replacement. I would possibly find a matching bottle cap and use hot glue gun to fix it if needed. Best regards SMI

Hi, Thanks for your comment. It's not a perfect design. Best regards SMI

Hi, You are right. I added small o'rings to stop them sliding freely. But on this occassion it would not help. The rod was sliding back and I overcompressed...lack of experience. Thanks for your comment. Best regards SMI

...and use brain ;) The rod was sliding back which I did not notices and overcompressed. My fault. Best regards and stay safe. SMI

@@shedmadein4115 thank you. You as well!

Hi, It's working fine. Thanks for your comment and best regards. SMI

Lol have fun with junky quick struts

Or you can buy actually good quality shocks, and pay a shop literally half an hour of time to replace them

@@patricks488 This car has 150k miles on it and is obsolete. I cannot find springs for the car in the US, and they are likely the originals. I can find struts, but I need both. It would probably be $1000 for me to get all the OEM parts to the United States, I do not have any other option really.

Thanks for your comment. Best regards SMI

I like to fix things rather than replace. The car was at that time "playground" for diy. Thanks for your comment. SMI

The man surrvived. Thanks.

Was not funny. Be careful.

No problem. Thanks.

Hi, Sorry but I do not have access to this computer anymore. But it was speciffied in user manual how to get to wheel diameter settings. Best regards SMI

Hi, It was not quantity issue. It was operator mistake. I squeezed it too much as did not noticed the rod was slipping back in. I would put some kind of sand bags at the ends so the bags can absorb the energy but will not bouce the shock absorber back. Best regards SMI

Ok. Thanks for the comment. I receantly found out that stadard hex can be used - 7mm if I remeber correctly. But it can damage the aluminium so better to have smooth surface. SMI

It's quite impresive I got away with it without injury. Rod was sliding back and I did not notice that. This is why I compressed it so hard. Thanks for your comment. SMI

Yeah….pretty damned stupid

I do not have acces to the estate version, so I can not really comment or advise. Are you able to send the pictures or short video how it looks like? Thanks for your comment and good luck with your repair. SMI

@@shedmadein4115 Thank you sir. Apparently the whole unit including the door flap screws off easily to reveal the broken solenoid on the left...prise out...replacement part then slots in. I got a part cheap yesterday from dismantlers who assured me it's a 3 minute DIY job so from the front rather than the back. Hope that may help someone else. Cheers.

Hi, I'm using various equipment to charage this tank and wnat to have a safety valve mounted just for piece of mind. This will also prevent pressure from rising if charged tank is left in sunny place. It's up to you to assess your system and decide if you need or do not need additional safety valve. Is it really worth it to skip this safety feature for what you need to pay for the valve? Thanks for your comment Best regards SMI

Hi, It all depends... This is small tank 2l volume. The applications will be limited. Forget about using it for big compressor. I personally used it to pressurise brakeing system of my car during brake bleeding. I also was thinking to use it as a compensating tank for central heating system. Thanks for your comment. Best reagrds SMI

Hi, I tried to translate your question to english but with poor results... "Where did the materials go?" Sorry but I do not know what you mean. Best regards SMI

There is no list of materials, the parts are named during video if this is what you mean.

There is no parts list. I described parts in the video. Thanks for your comment. SMI

Thanks for your comments. Best regards SMI

Hi, Safety pins are rubbish on those things and slide off when you move the whole assembly around. I added small orings later on to prevent them from sliding. But in this case it was my own fault, not enough experience and lack of patience. I overcompressed the spring as did not notice that the shock absorber rod was sliding back. In this case...Mea culpa...;) Thanks for your comment. Good luck and stay safe when using those things. SMI

Hi, I bought it on ebay. Search for chainring guard. Best regards SMI

No problem! Thank you.
