you will find with that one the weld will stick to one surface as you cannot fine tune it (either min/max) nothing in between.mine (also crap) high/med/low on high it blows holes in the body medium it sticks to one side and low dont waste your time.small bottles of Argon gas last a few min,admittedly it did weld my filler pipe to my new fuel cap pretty well also i used it to weld my seats.but bodywork/panels its useless.granted i,m no expert with a mig,but if your going ahead try and look for one with a dial for the power the same as the speed of wire.
i spend more time freeing the wire up replacing the flow wheels and dismantling the gun as the wire seems to stick in the shroud etc.the one i bought takes 2 folk to lift it but not used it yet.

in my opinion you will be wasting your time using a gasless welder outside in windy conditions,I,m not sure if gasless actually means welding without gas and a lot depends on what it is your welding.a lot of folk use Co2 instead of Argon etc (gasless welding butnot quite as your using something to substitute the gas) also how neat you want the welding to look.you will spend more time grinding and cleaning it up than you will welding
its not the price of the welder but refilling the gas bottles makes it expensive as nowadays you have to have an account for the bottle (unless you know someone who will do it on the side)
recently bought a mig 160 amp big piece of kit compared to my last one.my old one a migmate (more a hobby welder) cant weld anything outside esp in windy conditions always resort back to my stick welder,

its the coolant sensor in the elbow for the ECU not the gauges etc,mine was faulty cleaned the throttle body etc and was still the same.turned out it was the connector for the sensor (green plug) it was Chris that pointed it out to me,perfect now
-
yes your right,the other thing to check is the water sensor at the elbow,if its faulty or a bad connection the car will struggle to idle on cold start up.

Is it vented properly? The motorbikes I had in the past always had a vent tube running off the filler
thanks for that
i cut the vent off,still have it here.didnt think it was needed as the old filler cap i dont think has a vent,fuel tank is vented is it not,will get a look at it.
-
have noticed ever since i replaced the old filler cap with this aerostyle one (honda cbr) the inside of the car seems to have a petrol smell now.
this fits over the old filler pipe which is external to the inside of the body.
any ideas

have to say i love that wing,

My battery is in a box in the boot with a built-in kill switch, but I admit I never thought to turn it off when I left the car on the drive for a couple of weeks when it snowed. I wish I had because it drained the battery.
dont mind me asking Askari but have you noticed and drop in voltage between the engine bay and batt in boot,just moved mine in to the boot.had a batt charger on 13.4v at batt,at engine 125 amp inline fuse 12.7v is that normal you think.
Scott try a batt charger on for a good while its possible the batt is not getting enough charge in it while running

no just the normal halfords antifreeze (saying that it was over -10 at the weekend)
stuck with this screw/bolt,do i have to take all the aircon off to get to the bracket that holds the alternator adjuster

3sgte water pump
pulley inside timing cover sheared right off
timing belt
started car up monday morning,sounded rough but put that down to the cold,went an had a coffee while letting it warm up,15 min later went out to find steam coming out and engine had stopped,looking farther rad hose was frozen,despite having antifreeze in it (3yrs now),
so an expensive lesson learnt,hopefully no internal damage

sorry guys i thought i had posted that it was fixed,turned out the wee flap under the throttle body was stuck open,and the main throttle flap was not closing properly,
sorted now after reading a how to guide on here.you learn something everyday with these things LOL,easy job to do once you have done it before.
now i need a new clutch
