My latest multi meter was run over by a Ute months back and is now starting to tell lies. Might order a newbie tomorrow

Every time I go to contract power/mtu/cat/Detroit/speno rail there are blokes running with fluke meters. The bro swears by them.

Flukes are good, but so are many cheaper options. I’ve had 2 flukes that both got run over, a dick Smith jobbie that still works well, cabac clamp meter that’s still good and just about had enough of my sidchrome meter.

Cat meters are ok but like many meters they start to lie before the battery warning comes up

I just bought a sp tools 1/2" mini rattle gun and 1/2" air ratchet and wish I hadn't. Should have gone the Ingersoll rand. But very expensive. :-( the sp's look like a re-baged shinano. I only got 2 yrs from the last sp 1/2" ratchet. Boss replaced it for free because I was pissed off. I just bought a full set of gear wrench metric and imperial ratcheting spanners and they are sweet. I also bought a full set of gear wrench long combination spanners metric and imperial which kick ass. Compared to all my old sidcrome stuff. Going out at cost from beyond tools in Malaga. Doing more fitting than fabrication these days. Shame I'm the only person in the shop with the correct tools. It's annoying.

O-rings you say?

Which ones?

OK, so you have these bad boys running through the firewall

which connects to the heater matrix as thus 

 

 

and if you notice the 2 black clips halfway between the firewall hard tube, and the heater matrix, you get to these suspect little f**kers

 

and these are the issue (I suspect)

they are located in the drivers footwell, and I am pretty sure they will be accessible just by dropping the bottom off the dash (and maybe yoink the shifter) but given I cant get into the footwell to eyeball any of this, its all purely academic at this stage. It might be a shat heater anyway

So many o-rings

What stupid Kent’s

[Stinky Rooster]

I know, right?

Plus, if it is the o-rings, it means my u-beaut nulon coolant is a POS

If you can stomach the brand name tax that comes on the fluke gear. You rarely get a shit product from them.

Do you have a air compressor at home? You could test the send/return from after the poxy o ring arrangement to see if it holds pressure before pulling it out. Which is a prick of a job. You would think after only 100,000 the core would be fine if it's always run inhibitor/coolant? You could also run some soap suds water through it under pressure with the tubes attached to check the poxy o ring arrangement?

Agreed but in the conditions I work in I’d rather 3 cheaper meters to a same level fluke. I work in the rain, mud, grease and whatever else is thrown at me.

Has it ever had a coolant flush? Different coolant colours have different additives to stop issues like this

[Sinista32]

I've been using Nulon Coolant for over a decade in Multiple performance cars (Red or Green) with no issues what so ever. Top coolant in my opinion

Currently use the Green in my 32 GTR and Red in my R8 Maloo.

Hey dude hows the gt-r running? Looks like a good investment the 33's are starting to sky-rocket bit like 32's and 34's. Except it looks heaps better[emoji41]
