A ZERO COST, cheat way to get rid of fog / condensation in double glazed windows. This is how I quickly fixed my double glazing. It would have a very slight thermal insulation reduction effect but I think that is very minor compared to, for instance, opening a window vent. #condensation #upvc_windows #doubleglazing #upvcwindow #upvc

![How to Fit a Coolant Level Alarm - MG ZS, Rover 45 etc
How to fit a coolant level alarm to a car with a small shallow expansion tank like in this MG ZS. Same as the Rover 45 and probably lots of other cars. It would be easier to find a replacement later model tank that has the coolant level sensor built in, but as they are a bit expensive and not that common, I have gone down the route of fitting a level sensor to the existing tank.
It is tricky finding the right size sensor. Here is a link for the one I used:
From amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2sTSM31
Or on amazon USA: http://amzn.to/2tPKLAM
As you will see in the video I cut it down by 16mm so that it didnt touch the bonnet(hood). That would be slightly easier doing it before fitting it to the tank. It was quite easy with a small disk cutter. Cut 2 slots down the sides and one around the shaft 16mm from the top and then split it apart with a screwdriver and they break away.
In this example we use an led to indicate low water. Plenty on Amazon again:
Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2tTuwCr
Amazon USA: http://amzn.to/2tZ1DFN
Also see my other video on fitting a water level alarm to a LANDROVER Freelander1: https://youtu.be/IQXcK0nf_MU
We use the same circuit introduced in that video for this project. Except we modify it to give a longer filtering time by increasing the capacitor to 10,000uF. That can be a 10v sort if the LED indicator is used. It would have to be 16v or more if a beeper is used. The circuit shown filters out signals from the sensor due to the water sloshing around the tank. It does a similar job to what the ECU does on the later model cars that include the water sensor as standard. i.e. The alarm wont come on until the sensor is giving a consistently low indication for 30 seconds or more.
Here a buying link for the 10,000uF capacitor from:
Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2sOizyB
Amazon USA: http://amzn.to/2uRrNqn
For the buying links for the other components see the description in the above mentioned video of mine about the freelander1 alarm.
For the rubber washers mentioned heres buying links:
Amazon uk: http://amzn.to/2tTBpUb
Amazon usa: http://amzn.to/2tPt9VK
Stainless steel M10 washers:
Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2sU56QL
Amazon usa: http://amzn.to/2sNsoN4
Now maybe I was unlucky but that sensor of mine had a small pin hole leak. I fixed it with 2k paint, which sets like a resin. Use gloves with that stuff and dont breath the fumes and read about safety precautions. The detail of the fix is shown at the end of the video in an appendix.

![Fixing a Sticky Throttle Cable - MGF, MGTF & Others
Heres a technique for getting lubricating oil all the way down a long throttle cable that was getting sticky and needed lubricating with oil.
It involves making a little tool. Which needs a tyre valve:

Amazon USA: http://amzn.to/2oDbXh2
And a copper compression tee fitting:
Amazon uk: http://amzn.to/2ptcB0M
Amazon USA: http://amzn.to/2nUsC2o
Also look for an end cap copper fitting to seal that mid point and where you can put the oil after its unscrewed. You might need to put in a short piece of pipe and then an end cap like this:
