Hello...very instructive video...learn a lot from you thank you...Justa little brighter light to see everything better ...would make this video an Oscar winner... Thanks again

Hi there. Old Automotive tutor here. Next time, clean the adjuster and put a spot two pot white paint onto the adjustment screw.. Yes, the front has two leading shoes, meaning two cylinders. It's important to keep the brakes adjusted, as that decreases the movement on the cylinder seal cups and hence the wear. If the brakes are in good nick, they will bleed themselves overnight. If not, suspect the foot valve in the master Cylinder. It's there to keep a minimum tension in the system, hence keeping the cups sealed tight.

So I did this this weekend, the idle sound better but when you accelerate I think its really bad. I put it back on after one drive 😅

Seriously useless; don't waste your money. I bought two - the first one hardly worked so I returned for the more powerful option. It uses so many buckets of water for hardly visible results; the hose pipe keeps detaching, the red and green ends fly off, battery life goes down rapidly. Considering the price you may just as well add more money and buy a decent pressure washer that connects to the mains

Mark, I have a 2005 STR with 133K km on it. I've seen the Wheeler Dealer 100K mile jag that had the same coating problem you show. Having fixed EGR, DCCV and the climate control module is being fixed in the US (I'm in Canada) - any idea if, when this could be a problem for me. What's the mileage on your STR? Great videos - my mechanic thanks you, so do I.!!

Tie a fishing weight to the filter and peg the hose to the bucket...easy!

Thanks for the advice, very useful for changing mirror in Tasmania.

If anyone accidentally gets brake fluid on the brake disc or drum, just use some brake cleaner and paper towel to wipe it off, it's no biggie, but if it gets onto the brake pads, you need to take the caliper off and clean those too. Like they say about prep, goes a long way... When you stated not to tip brake fluid down the drain, that seriously shouldn't have been necessary. If anyone does vile shit like that, they deserve not to be around anymore. Absolute zero respect for scum like that. Helpful video, cheers.

Hey there bud just wondering how the project is holding up ?

Hi what size tyre are you using thanks

Hello i had the same problem. Replaced with a new aftermarket valve, it works for a while. At the moment i'm washing the coolant system but the heater doesn't work (A/C works!). What can be? can the system become blocked for a washing process? i've done it with distilled water and vinegar

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great tutorial

Why did you not fit the water temperature adapter to the back of the head where the heater hose take off point is? Because the rear of the head is where the greatest heat is normally! I mounted all my gauges in the drives side glovebox cover & used copper capillary tubing from the sender unit connection & rolled the tubing around a bottle to take out any vibrations between the engine & the solid chassis! Having all the gauges in the glovebox cover saved my knees in an accident!

Top tip for a bit more reach in a Midget - fit the wheel to the *back* face of the flange on the boss; it gives about 15mm extra space or if you want to go one step further, you can fit a spacer and longer screws to push it further back. (MotaLita sell spacers/screws intended for bringing the wheel closer to the driver, but these ought to fit the ‘wrong’ side, too) You will obviously need to take the boss off the column to do this, though.

I’ve got a similar one on my midget, at least looks the same. I upgraded from a 12” wheel to a 13” to make the steering lighter, getting older and wrist points getting stiffer. I had to change the hub as well as screw pattern was different.

Nice easy swap. To get a new wheel on an original shaft you need an impact driver and a wheel puller. Its a huge pain because that nut is often stuck, then the wheel ifself us usually stuck to the shaft.

Nice wheel that. 👍🇬🇧

You said 5 litres of ATF, then filled it with a red fluid. You know these use a special fluid that is usually brown and expensive? Lifeguard 6, though Mannol do a good price on an equivalent.

Why didn't you show exhaust so we could see if white smoke was coming put after fix? Seems a obvious thing to do to.prove it.

Think you need 3 bottles over 4.0

Great informative video. Can you pre fill the pan with oil prior to fitting if two people work together, one holding it up whilst the other screws in the plastic bolts?

Hi Mark, very useful thanks. Just about to connect in a temp gauge in my ‘62 Moggy. I’m told it’s best to include a voltage stabiliser in the circuit. Is that really necessary?

Hey Mark, question on the seat belts. I have a rollbar mounted like yours, so the belt needs to be mounted like yours (500/30 ?). Did you find it uncomfortable across your neck? Did it come with the bracket or did you have to request it ? Also were the stalks the correct length ? I know it was a while ago ! Thanks.

You are a tad picky! This power-washer, or any power-washer, is not designed to clean brake dust off. That takes special sprays and elbow grease. This is for washing cars, caravans, etc. If the hose is too short you could always move the bucket. Surely, the longer the hose comes with a reduction in pressure. And, refilling the bucket isn't that big a chore. Is it? Glad you like it though.

this can be the cooler back engine i have the some problem

hello m8 doing mine atm , just going change oil first see what happens , why did you change ALL the solaniods ? is it not possible test indiv and buy individ ?also have you got anyidea how much oil is left inside when you drain ? im at aloss becouse i think theres been a leek over long period . i got only 2lrs out so put 4 litres in then started car went thro jgate then drained again this time 3 and half ltrs came out so at this point wondering how much in there . the cars done 107tho dont know if its been done before didnt smell burnt but looked like deff needed changing . atm ive got p0736, p0706,p0702, so looks like oil change first then start checking if it dosnt work ?

Lovely looking V8 250

I don’t know why you worry about minor trivial things! It’s not as if you have about 300 miles to drive! I drove an old ford prefect 150 miles with no brakes other than the hand brake with lots of steep hills to negotiate down! Just driving gently & not trying to break the sound barrier! I eventually bottom my destination!

Nice work! Always nice to see something new 🙂

Hi I have issue with my 2004 stype gearbox and this could solve my problem, where are you as I'd like you to look at mine, I'm in Tw2 area

I have a Corsa C diff. Can you please tell me what grease I need. Thanks.

Can you clean up the old injectors? ie. place them in a ultrasound bath etc and clean them up? Just a thought experiment.

I'm just doing this on my 2.7d but when filling back with new oil it started running out at about 3.5L or less. I waited a while, tried again but the oil just runs out. I'm afraid there's too little oil in there and will ruin the gearbox if I start the engine... HELP?...

Will it work with OAT coolant?

Hello, can you help me? I have a X350 with CD radio and climate with big fan knob. I would like to retrofit the original sat NAV and climate module. Is It possibile? I ser the climate i have has 2 connector therefore the NAV module has 1 connector only. Then I suppose the NAV One used cam like protocol to activate switch and other stuff so I Need some information about It. Can't find much in forums; evryting Is related to s type or x type. Thanx

How long does it take for steel seal to work. Used it on my suzuki swift 2008 ,still over heating.

i have a question mate so i don’t know much about cars but where your pouring the steal seel does that have to be empty from any coolant/antifreeze already in there.

Are you supposed to use 2 bottles for a v8?

How critical is changing this gasket if very small leak? Would it mean losing a small amount of oil which can be topped up or does it mean it's only a matter of time for a bigger leak and then permanent engine damage from loss of oil?

Im happy to hear that! How did you reset the adaption values of the gearbox? Jaguar software or aftermarket code reader?

2700 pounds? Yikes!

Thank you so much for doing this video!

I've used it over 2 years ago. Just followed the directions. Still driving the same car today. I'm a believer.

What if my 2008 XJ Vanden Plas can only hold one CD, not the multiple CD changer?
