My name is Oliver and welcome to my channel! My dad used to own a garage, so from a young age, I always helped / get in the way. I used to deal in cars and have always done any maintenance myself where possible. After watching various videos and subscribing to other channels, I thought, why not give it a go myself. As Clarkson would say, "how hard can it be?!"

How good is this small polisher available online?
I've bought a 2005 R53 Mini Cooper S from Copart with the description stating it had an undiagnosed noise from the engine bay. In my previous videos, I have changed various parts and resolved the running issue. Now that the Mini is running well, its time to sort out a few cosmetic things that need attention.
When I bought my 2005 R53 Mini Cooper S, there has been a few scratches and marks in the paint work that needed to be polished out. On my lunch break flicking through videos on TikTok, this small polisher same up quite a few times and everyone was raving about how good it was. So I took the plunge and at the great expense of about £18 I purchased one from Aliexpress! I also purchased some 3D ACA 510 cutting/finishing compound from TikTok shop, lets see how well it works.....

Land Rover Discovery 4 prop shaft centre bearing replacement

Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4 prop shaft centre bearing replacement. The rear prop shaft centre bearing has become delaminated on my 2012 Land Rover Discovery 4 SDV6.

My Land Rover Discovery 4 SDV6 has covered over 160,000 miles and is showing signs of wear.

How to check the oil level on a Discovery 4 SDV6
Thank you for your video! Unfortunately I can't find the spare part. Do you have a link to where I can buy it?
@@timokersting4235 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121310843798?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=iO6NHN2GTmG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=o7YxtScHQ8O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
22:44 what temperature did you heat the sproket? (Also, where did you find the instructions to heat the sproket?)
@@KurtisSaiyo put it in the oven as high as possible. No instructions, but if you heat it, it will expand very slightly, so will make it slide on slightly easier. Same theory works for something metal being inserted, but instead you freeze it to shrink it slightly
@@olliesgarage thanks for the reply! Great walk-through by the way. Were you concerned about annealing or otherwise altering any heat treatment?
Oil filter and injectors were the easiest and obvious thing to try first…lol
Bravo champion 😊
Hello. Did You conduct test fuel pressure after changing fuel filter? A have the same sympthoms but in my case replacing fuel.filter nothing change . After ignition on I have 3,5 bar on fuel rail. When I turn on engine the pressure is 2,8 bar. It is atrange , because American instructions tells that pressure after start8ng engine should be 3,5 bar. I did many things and still I have rough idle and to.low power . Please help...
This test was before changing the fuel filter. In a later video I change the fuel filter, but didn't test the pressure again afterwards
Wow sounds good great job
@@OMAR-gl9cp thank you! Much appreciated 👍
Great work!! Sounds like it’s running great!!
@@justinvanburen8259 it’s running perfectly! I’ve taken it to the Nurburgring in Germany and it’s been on a couple of track days, so had a good test!
Nice
Hi, first thank you!! It seems to be a nice job but it's a completely different way to install driving lamp on this mini. I would like to know if, 7 month later, everything is ok?
@@edouardnicollas2117 yes, working perfectly! What other way would they be installed?
FYI... There are TWO bleeder points for the coolant. The first is on the top hose (where you bled it from) and the second is on the thermostat housing, an 8 or 10mm bolt, just crack the bolt a little till the water comes out, same as the front one.
Hello Ollie, thank you for the tutorial. I am trying to fit my KC 400 rally lights using your method. The wiring harness already came with positive and ground connectors and three pins for a switch. If I use your method, I will connect the three connectors to positive, ground and rally light to the 4-pin relay. Then once I splice the green/yellow high beam wire, one end goes to relay pin 1 , and where should the other cutoff end go? Should I splice the wire into two seperate wires and connect one to the relay and one to the high beam connector? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
@@nothinginhere916 if you google spot light relay wiring diagram, there are loads of pictures of what needs connecting to where. Plus it will probably make more sense than me trying to explain it!
From the relay do you just use a single positive wire? I’m really crap at wiring
@@willus567 Yep, and then the light needs an earth as well. If you google relay wiring, there is plenty of diagrams etc to help you.
@@olliesgarage thanks I’ll have a look I’ve had to re make the wiring for my lights but the guy who did it used positive and neg to the light and it didn’t make any sense to me the relay and fuse is all good and earthed like the one in the video I’ll have a look thanks
Not sure whether this will get read or not but I keep getting a subaru like sound after about 45 minutes of driving. Today I changed the exhaust manifold gasket in which id thought it fixed the issue and it later returned 35 miles later. Could it be a blocked cat causing back pressure???? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@davekirk2291 hard to say, I only really came across the issue with mine by accident! Mine had a cheap sports car fitted which was breaking down causing the issue
@@olliesgarage I think that's something I'll look into this weekend. Thanks for the quick reply. This issue is rather bugging me 😂
You don't need the bonnet open to check the levels
How much is factory filling? You filled it with 5 liters? I have range rover sport 4.4 diesel. They say it needs 8.5L but i only get 5 liters in it.
@@TopGMisterAMG the whole system when dry takes 8.5L, but if you drain from the gearbox, the cooler etc will still have oil in it, hence why I only got 5L back in it. I ran it for a few hundred miles and then changed it again
What did you search for , I have tried inner wheel trim seal and have found nothing

Really appreciate this I have been quoted a horrible price for a service and have watched both yours and lr 's video and maybe ready to tackle the job can I just ask which scan tool you used ?
@@morgansteele3158 I’ve got a Gap IID
Question; What tool and app did you use to check car data? Also, Did you notice much of a difference subsequently after this service going on?
@@LeshBridge I used a GAP IID. Yes, it was much smoother afterwards!
So it’s a 2 stroke that also takes engine oil separately?
@@OperatorRedBeard Yes. It has engine oil for lubricating the crank etc and then instead of pre mixing the fuel, it has a separate oil tank which has a feed to the carburettor and mixes with the petrol.
consise - thanks.

What year is this Discovery 4? I'm seeing that the 2015 may use R1234 YF refrigerant? I'd like to DIY this if possible.
I have a code for p0108 manifold absolute pressure. Am thinking this could be the issue.
@@alexanderallen898 p0108 refers to the MAP sensor which is on the intake rather than the exhaust.
@@olliesgarage yeah man, have ordered tmap and map sensors which should arrive soon, however a friend of mine had the same codes which were because his cat squashed up and blocked the exhaust. Thinking the same has happened as I have the same symptoms, also that would mean the sensors are working correctly… hopefully it’s an easy ish fix 🤞

Mine is getting done tomorrow but opted for a full GKN swap but it's the wife's daily. Fully agree though for a weekend car the bearing only is the way to go

Hello what types of oil does it use in the small plastic tank near the exhaust 2:25
It’s 2 stroke engine oil. It has a separate bottle and mixes in the carburettor rather than having the fuel pre mixed

Don't understand: why do you have to change both cylinders when there is no leakage? The cylinder seals are still intact. Just bleed the system with new fluid as problem might be caused by dirty fluid or/and bubbles?
It was leaking out of the master cylinder, so needed replacing
Love it! More content please Ollie

Where did you get the pump?

Did you try to replace the fuel regulator on the injectors rail? I'm chasing a similar issue
Years and years ago , in Canada, we had a Austin 1100. Love that car! Anyhow , after melting the accelerator cable twice some said to me “ I bet the ground strap from the engine to the frame is bad.” Yep! After fitted a new cable it started every time. Always when doesn’t start check the grounds.
Another job you could do is the fuel filter under the back seats easy and if its never been done then will surly need doing. Even after 30k miles mine was fully blocked.
I have changed it, good job I did, it was disgusting!
