List Your Services On CameraLoops For Free

Over the past four years, the CameraLoops network has evolved from a single individual pursuing personal projects and sharing knowledge with others into a thriving community of over four thousand members. While this number may seem small compared to other platforms, our achievements and goals focus on a niche few are willing to pursue.

The CameraLoops website now receives thousands of visits from all over the world each month. Our main goal is to offer DIY knowledge and services. Additionally, some members prefer to hire someone else to handle these tasks. To accommodate this, I have added a member services listing directory to the website, where CameraLoops members can showcase, advertise, and promote their crafts and services.

Some of the available categories include:

GM features activation/deactivation
GM Remote online programming services
GM Remote ECM and TCM unlocks
GM Remote ECM and TCM tuning
GM remote diagnosing and troubleshooting
Local auto mechanic workshop services

These are just a few categories. Let me know if you have any other categories in mind, and I will add them to the services directory.

There are only two terms and conditions for service submission:

You must be a trustworthy individual who treats others as you wish to be treated.
Your services must not conflict with the files and services already offered on the website.

The services listing directory is available FREE to all CameraLoops +Contributor members at no extra cost.

Don't hesitate to list your services and gain more exposure!

The services listing directory button is located in the top menu.

How to replace a faulty fuel flap actuator in Mercedes Benz
How to replace a faulty fuel flap actuator in Mercedes Benz

+BenZ-MaN · June 16Jun 16

The new style fuel flap actuator in Mercedes-Benz vehicles is not very well made. Over time, water and moisture seep in, corroding the motor and causing it to fail. In the photo below, you will see a failed fuel flap actuator that was corroded due to water and moisture ingress. If you experience any issues with the fuel flap opening, it’s advisable to replace the fuel flap actuator immediately. Otherwise, you’ll need to remove some boot trimmings to access the emergency fuel flap button fro

In September 2023, I published an article outlining a clever little trick to generate the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for a UK Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) using a third-party website, for free. Unfortunately, the third-party website owner discovered the trick and resolved the issue. As a result, I have now implemented a UK VRN-to-VIN lookup tool directly on this website.

Vauxhall, Opel Insignia, Astra 1.6 SIDI A16XHT squealing noise, PCV valve, Camshaft seal noise fix.

Troy · December 27, 20223 yr

Recently my Insignia developed a squealing noise coming from the engine bay. The noise was coming from the camshaft seal and PCV valve located in the engine rocker cover. Due to the faulty PCV valve, the car was building up a lot of vacuum in the engine, sucking air through the camshaft seal. From reading on the web, this is a known GM fault that will happen over time in the 1.6 SIDI A16XHT engine. In the USA, GM had a service bulletin regarding this issue on the Buick Cascada, which uses the s

A quick fix deserves to a quick write up. As we all Know the Rode video mic micro is a great microphone, except for the flimsy mic mount.

If you're reading this, I'm guessing you yourself is on a mission to remove an unknown bias password from a Macbook pro. I'll start off with the tools you will need in order to spare you the read Tools needed. A sop 8 chip programmer with a sop 8 holder or pin connectors.

IPHONE ANAMORPHIC SETUP, MOONDOG LABS, HELIUM IPHONE CASE AND RODE VIDEO MIC MICRO

Troy · June 14, 20197 yr

Yep’ I’m still riding the Anamorphic wave. I got me a Helium iPhone case and a Rode video mic micro to top it off. The Helium case is top-notch, its made from full alloy metal. As I said before “I likes meee metals”. The Helium case has a 37mm threaded lens attachment incorporated in the phone case, which gives a direct fit for the Moondog labs Anamorphic lens adapter. The case has mounting points all around, which is great for mounting various accessories. Example, a mic, lights, a handle, a se

Propagating Plants
Propagating Plants

Troy · June 14, 20197 yr

There are many reasons to propagate plants, such as taking plant cuttings. Some of the reasons are. Cost: It is cheaper to propagate a few plants from what you already have than to purchase new ones. Plant life expectancy: Many perennial plants live for a few years and then die. Taking cuttings from those plants extends the species living in your garden. Multiplying the breed: If you have only one type of a specific plant in your garden, you can take cuttings from the mother plant and multiply

Creating a Brass hinges for a Constantine lighter Movie size
Creating a Brass hinges for a Constantine lighter Movie size

Troy · May 12, 20197 yr

The first hinges on my lighter broke, it was thin and not strong enough. This time around I thought I'll create a much thicker hinge from a bit of bass bar. The best way to create the hinges would be to use a CNC milling machine, which would need to be programmed and tested. I chose to create the hinge from the eye with a Dremel tool. Plus, it's great fun creating things with the eye without using a machine. I started off by tapping bigger threads for bigger screws. The brass bar I used

Why I will never buy Weber BBQ again
Why I will never buy Weber BBQ again

Troy · May 10, 20197 yr

I bought a Weber Performer in 2016 to upgrade to a much bigger BBQ with a more modern look. I was hoping to buy one that would last forever. I also purchased the Weber cover for the BBQ. After one year, the Timer stopped working, and the BBQ cover deteriorated. Due to my busy life, I never contacted Weber regarding the warranty. In 2019, the BBQ table broke. I thought that was enough. I searched to see if other folks had the same issues. Lo and behold, the Weber Performer plastic table was break

Old Build Hexa-Copter (aka Drone) 2011

Troy · March 2, 20197 yr

Sometime ago back in 2011 long before domestic drones were popular and couldn’t be bought ready-made off the shelves, I created this hexacopter. It was based on electronic parts sourced from Germany. The copter frame I designed using AutoCAD, then fabricated it from carbon fiber material using my trusty little homemade CNC machine. I gave the copter the name “TROY” Troy the Trojan, as in the very unpredictable free-spirited one. This was probably my 10th build. I had gain

What is Anamorphic? well’ Anamorphic is a method used by the movie-making industry, which was only available to them once upon a time in Hollywood due to the cost of the equipment.

How To Repair A Mackie Big Knob Power Supply

The Mackie Big Knob monitor control power supply repair. The symptoms before my Mackie Big Knob died were, humming sound in headphones, slight vibrating noise coming from the knob. A few days after it died, no lights, nothing, no life. This isn’t a full in-depth tutorial. It’s more like a Brain Sparker to spark the DIY element in yourself to let you know you can repair your Big Knob without the need to pay Mackie £300 to repair it for you.
