If no one downloads it for 30 days the file will be removed from the servers (it's on a free webhosting server), so keep my baby alive. If it does get wiped then let me know and I'll re-upload it!

Now, go change your brake fluid!

Thanks ferni! Try using the link above, VB-.

I've been toying with the idea of a video DIY for a while so this is just the first go. Hope people are finding it useful.

Nice work!

How come you need to take off the negative terminal of the battery? I hate taking mine off as I need to take off the AMP to do it.

Also what vid camera was used?

[ferni]

I've never taken the battery off, but i think the reasoning behind it is, it draws some current from your battery when you press the brake padal so you may end up with a flat battery?

Negative terminal came off because the service manual said so. I think it was to disable the ABS unit as the other option is to pull out the fuse for the ABS unit instead of removing negative terminal. I just assumed my car has ABS. If yours doesn't then no need to remove any electrical thing.

Would you believe me if I said vid was taken with camera phone?

Didn't think so! My boo has a Panasonic NV-GS200. Nice little camera, 3-CCD as well, but these days you can get the NV-GS400 for about $1500 (and that's paying retail) which has 12x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer. Just as an aside, my boo recently had to get the prism in the camera replaced as there was a known fault. It was covered under warranty even though the camera is about 3 years old and the problem only recently occurred.

Vid editting was done using Sony Vegas Movie Studio and Sound Forge Audio Studio.

What program did you use to play the file?

Media player with latest codecs doesnt play it. All i hear is you speaking..

[ferni]

Pretty sure its just mpeg4... xvid...

Download and install ffdshow.

That's right, ferni. It's encoded with xvid codec and lamemp3 for audio. I use K-Lite Codec Pack which installs pretty much all the necessary codecs to play just about every sort of format you'll come across on the net. Just do a google search for "k-lite codec".
