Kiltox Posted April 19, 2021 Author Posted April 19, 2021 Just now, wuvvum said: I've got one of those ceramic plug in heaters somewhere. I can confirm that they are fucking shit. They've just got to be haven't they? Does it even get warm at all?
wuvvum Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 To get an idea of their output, hold your hand about 6" in front of your mouth and huff on it. That's pretty much what they manage. Kiltox and Aston Martin 2
Soundwave Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Oh god, I remember having one of those sodding things in my old aircooled Beetle. It produced a very weak stream of lukewarm air. Once. And then it promptly ceased to function permanently. Absolute fucking toss. In my defence, I was 18 at the time and didn't know any better. Kiltox 1

SiC Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 I've got a PCIe card on my desk that is chucking out there times the wattage as heat. It does warm my small office up, but it takes a good few hours from an already warm house! The 150w heated might be just about ok to run across the windscreen to melt a light frost. Kiltox 1

I tried defrosting a windscreen with mine once. If the heater is placed an inch or less from the windscreen, it will - after a few minutes - defrost and clear an area roughly the size and shape of the heater itself. Of course you can't then see out of said clear area as the heater is an inch away from it, but there you go. Talbot, Split_Pin, SiC and 3 others 3 3

Pointing the "hot" end about an inch away from the windscreen and running up/down it.

You would have to run it up and down veeeeeery slowly though. Probably quicker to wait for global warming to do the job for you. Jerzy Woking, Skizzer, 95 quid Peugeot and 1 other 1 3

Kiltox Posted April 19, 2021 Author Posted April 19, 2021 Given I spent most of the weekend in it I don’t think I want to know what that test would reveal
sierraman Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 Have you seen that channel of the guy that does driveway mobile clutches. What a fucking awful way to earn a living laying on your arse fitting clutches on the floor, it’s wank enough on a ramp let alone laid in the rain on a driveway 5 days a week. Madman!

He looks like he’s got them off to a fine art. But it does look like a hard way to earn a living. I wonder what he charges for a typical transverse fwd jobbie? Are people using him over a garage because they’ve let it get so bad that they don’t think it’ll make it to a garage?

Completely agree. Watched one of his vids. Thought he was a bit of a hero. But couldn't bring myself to watch another. Watching someone intentionally torture themselves is not for me. A very hard way to earn a crust.

sierraman Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 I don’t know what he charges but his knees and back must be fucked. All the while he’s competing with Mr Clutch!
tooSavvy Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Oof!! Jeeezz..... Someone commented 'easy/predictable clutch work' unlike jobbing garage.... Looks like bloody hard work, to me
Kiltox Posted April 27, 2021 Author Posted April 27, 2021 Friday off work and this is provisionally how I’m going to be spending it: Five locations where I want to film at least one thing - possibly more at a couple of them Might be a bit ambitious loserone, Split_Pin and spartacus 2 1

Kiltox Posted April 30, 2021 Author Posted April 30, 2021 Can someone tell this guy to fuck off in a way that is a bit more eloquent than I’m going to manage having been out of the house for the past 12 hours filming? ta
