Here’s another of our latest videos, a 'short' on 8 common sources of car leaks:
Edd China
Air Conditioning 101
Who doesn't love watching Edd China working his magic on a tired old motor? He's great at explaining how things work, which is why this video on a typical air-conditioning system is our first pick.
Air-con tech has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years, with kit becoming smaller and therefore lighter and using less refrigerant. Here, Edd and Denso's Richard Groot explain how components have changed over time.
Twin-Cam
Pulling the Engine Out of my Austin Metro
It's fair to say that Twin-Cam's Ed Westby is a bit of a Metro nut. And why not? Some of us here at Haynes have owned them (Rob's first two cars were Metros!), so we get the appeal.
However, not all is well with this one's diff, so in this video Ed's hoiking out the engine so that can be sent off for repair.
Soup Classic Motoring
From rusty Sprinter to custom Camper Van
Here's something a bit different. George is converting this Mercedes Sprinter van into a motorhome so he can use it to tow a Lotus Esprit around Europe, among other things.
This vid is part of a playlist, so check that out if you want to see the whole build, but this one uses stop-motion animation to show you the story so far. It makes one thing all too obvious: there's masses of welding involved!
