My name is David from Liverpool, UK. Im an Idiot with a garage who loves fixing cars!
If you're a petrol head like me and love seeing cars getting fixed, as well as being modified, stay tuned because this is the channel for you!
I'm by no means a professional, I'm not a mechanic, and I'm not trained in car repair, but I am someone who will give anything a go and be honest about it. I'm just winging it, but they do say "Fake It Till You Make It"😉. I'm not scared of a challenge and there will be some big projects on the channel soon enough!
I hope people find as much joy in my content as I do filming it (even when things go wrong😅), and maybe it helps to inspire others to crack open the socket set and give things a go yourself!
I ride motorbikes too😁
I'm also active on Instagram so feel free to give me a follow👍🏻

TRYING TO FINISH MY MITSUBISHI GTO TWIN TURBO PROJECT CAR
มุมมอง 36028 วันที่ผ่านมา
I've been working on this GTO for 3 years now and its has A LOT of work done to it. It was destined for the scrap yard and I couldn't let that happen to the forgotten JDM legend! After some body work, a respray and a full engine rebuild, this car now only needs a few more things to get it finished. In September 2024, I set myself a deadline of finishing this car by 2025, but I forgot I'd set th...

My Porsche 987 Cayman S has had quite a bad front end knock, which has not only destroyed the front passenger side, but it's also damaged the subframe... In the first video on the cayman, I did a temporary fix to get the car moving so I could transport it to my new unit, but now it's time to fix the issue for good! So that's exactly what I'm going to do in this video! I've got some special plan...

i tought you could just plug the main conencors together but ovs that not the case?
i was tempted to get a pioneer or sony as they’re super smooth and fast but for £400-500 it’s ridiculous, glad to see chinese knockoff ones work well enough
I’m sorry but the first clip of you filling your car up, the price and litre different is mad
Awesome video David! Looking forward to working with you! - Georgina, X8R Ltd
Nice thinking. 👍
Brilliant video fella!
Cheers for the videos well explained quick question did you change your indicators on your wing mirrors if so how did you do it thanks from new zealand
Mine has 75k miles. It was given to me by someone. So i changed the convertible roof to the nicest roof i could find (Heated glass German A - 5) 1800$ USD and i added an LED steering wheel carbon fiber and carbon paddle shifters now i refuse to drive it 😢 i love it so much. Love your content
long time no see
137k? rookie numbers, mine's on 178k!😂
Good stuff David. Bought the metal pin to replace before it breaks. you thought about LED headlight bulbs by any chance?
Yeah, gonna have a look at mines tomorrow, great job David, well done
Great video! I've a LHD TT, the website mentions RHD cars but surely it's good for both as it's just the pin?
The metal part should be the same ? I hope so 😊
Hi, sadly not. The part is made on a slight angle. We're seeing how the sales of the RHD version go then will be moving onto the LHD! - Georgina, X8R Ltd
Literally just bought a TT and mines broke defo gonna use this video to fix it 😂 timing is crazy
I bought the full aluminium handle of eBay looks good and works a treat..
I have an 07 Roadster on 127k.....drives like new.Same RS4 alloys ....Nice how to by the way on the bonnet pin...
my mitsubishi wira mmc just v6.
Your content is amazing,🔥 With the right SEO strategy, this could reach an even bigger audience and get the recognition it deserves. 🚀
I was thinking that you could easily use some fly screen over the drains underneath the scuttle panel to stop leaves and stuff from getting into the drains. Just a minor fix but it will save you a lot of headache over leaking water.
Great video, helps me working on my TT
Hi mate did you have trouble getting radio stations I've brought the exact one you have. I'm having trouble getting radio stations. Any idea mate. Great channel by the way
Very good and informative video, spot on 👍 I could also add that there is an emergency release handle that you can pull from inside the boot to open it in case the car battery is dead.
Hi David - great step by step video! Could you please let me know where you source the spares for the TT?
Man, I have the same radio, but my blue amp cable from the harness goes nowhere, the oem from the TT doesnt have any cable on the other side where the blue amp would go. Can't figure out this out, strangely only my twitters speaker works, no door/rear speakers.
Good luck with your new space .
You'll get there eventually fella!
U a Kirkby lad yer
Great content David, don't worry it will come good, id take the pump apart again and have another look, top work, looking forward to the next one.
Oh well gives us something to look forward to. I would delete abs
Hey man prior your vids helped me with mine. Wish you luck!
💪💪
For the fuel pump check the connector above the tank for any bad connections. That was my issue, one of the connectors was a bit dirty
Well done :)!
Great video as usual Dave, I would definitely delete the pump, if only to save having to rebuild it again in the future. looking forward to more updates 😀
You got done mate. The ebay sellers bought these off Alixpress for 70 quid and are reselling at 100% markup. They are dodgy AF. If yours works that's great but they are known to have terrible BT connectivity, cause lots of electrical gremlins OR they die/blow a fuse whenever you swap a battery 😅 I think there is a voltage issue with them which could be potentially bad for the whole car including the voltage supply to the ECU. They have even been known to short ignitions and possibly cause misfires due to the aforementioned potential to cause low voltage to the ECU. I strongly advise you to aim for a decent unit when money allows as these things are sus AF. NOBODY should be buying this cheap crap.
I deleted the ABS on my 92. I order the kit from STM Tuned here in the states. ABS Never worked very well on mine anyways
Great job Dave this reminds me of the yellow one on wheeler dealers' Happy New Year and i look forward to your endeavours in 2025 ❤💙👍🏁
That's most of them. You forgot PCV valve failure, door locks and window regulators though. ;) the o rings on the PCV valves are trash and when they fail it causes rough idling and lumpy running. See it all the time. I would put PCV valve on the check list when buying: run the car and then remove the oil filler cap. If there is a noticable vaccuum holding the cap on, you need a new PCV valve because the seals are leaking. Luckily it sits on top of the engine and is dead easy to do. And you forgot the biggest of them all which they will ALL suffer from: intake carbon buildup. The coil pack issue is very common also.
Hi mate. I could you please tell me the make and where you got it from. Requards john
I've put the link for it in the description👍🏻
Seen this 6 months ago just found again now fitting mine in tt forgot about blue wire now connected and working thanks fir video
Good stuff👍🏻 Glad I could help!
how much did the cleaning process cost?
I paid £200. That was for an air leak smoke test (£65) and the TerraClean De-carbon service (£140)
Mate, i wish i watched this before doing mine....... I didnt lube the o ring with coolant before re in stalling and also didnt take the intercooler hose off before draining the coolant as i didnt know what it was. Took me two days but now thinking it may leak as i didnt prime the o ring👌🏼
You'll probably be okay, it was just so the 'O'-Ring didn't catch and tear as I was installing the thermostat housing. As long as there's no coolant on the floor and the reservoir hasn't gone down, you're all good👍🏻
The best video out there for the major TT leaks, cheers David!
Thanks!👍🏻
Enjoyed your video david your a talented man . Kevin usa.
Thank you! 👍
