The plug that goes into the back of the cluster must have vibrated itself loose as just removing it and plugging it back in seems to have fixed it.

@@monkey-hut hi I have a mk3 Clio sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Same issue as you I believe. Has since doing this have you had an issues since ? It sometimes comes back on when I go over a bump and goes back off after another pot hole

@@z13998 that does sound like it could be a connection issue. Mines been fine ever since I refitted it

@@monkey-hut thank you for replying, I’ll give it ago and hopefully it’ll be fine just annoying start the car works set off and it stops working. Hopefully it’ll be the same issue and be working fine again

It's just Ford cheaping out, just like I did when I used a cheap lacquer so I can't complain too much.

Yes, if your timing belt skips you should replace it as soon as possible.

I’ve never had any car where the drum came as easy one. My favourite is when the shoes come along with the drum

I assume that if the seats won’t fold then it would fail mot as it’s a safety issue for rear passengers

@monkey-hut she is pass yesterday nothing told me about the sit problem

You can get the plug and washer from any motor factors but I was lazy and got it from Amazon amzn.eu/d/iymhd01

@@monkey-hut thanks loads

@@zzhughesd no problem 👍

I haven’t got to the bottom of my issue yet but it sounds like you might have an issue with either your spark plugs or coil pack. You can take it to a garage and just ask them to scan it for you to find out for sure.

I was just following the instructions but I assume the “repair device” is used to force the resin into the hole and the drop at the end is just to make sure it’s flush with the surface of the glass.

I’ve obviously got lower standards, lol. I’m not sure I really see the point of these kits, I just wanted to see what it could do but you are better off just getting it done on your insurance as most policies will cover it free as far as I’m aware.

Glad it helped 👍

I think so, I was seemingly tired and cranky that day looking back at the video though, lol.

£1300??? That sounds like “go away, we can’t be bothered” price. That’s how I learned to change the hard drive on my iMac back in the day, no one wanted to touch it and those who would gave me silly quotes so I couldn’t afford not to figure it out. Good job 👍

I’m thinking of converting the rear brakes to discs but if I don’t I would like to replace everything on the rear including back plates and drums.

Once you have inserted the crankshaft locking pin, turn the engine by hand until it hits the pin. Then, if the camshafts line up, everything is in place.

Thanks for the tip, appreciated! I might take the oppourtunity to take the front end off when its time to do them and finally clean the surface rust off of the chassis legs. In the meantime the cars barely used, I pop it out for a spin now and then just to keep the rust off the brakes.

@@monkey-hut No denying that keeping these 'old' vehicles roadworthy will pay off in time. Mine (Mazda 2 - same engine as yours though) cost me £150 over 5 years ago and still going strong. I even paid £250 to buy a later model (facelift) to upgrade the lights and interior! Far cheap than buying the parts!

@@kellyeye7224 I'm half toying with the idea of going through the entire car, painting, reviving and protecting the entire underneath. It's currently at a tipping point where surface rust is showing up everywhere and the car is not worth much so it's not really worth it for me to spend that much time and money but no-one else will either and it would be a shame to let it rust

I never noticed that before, I must have missed out the clip of me dismantling everthing. It was a year ago and I can't remember editing it but maybe swearing was involved and I thought it was best left out.

You probably could, depending on what spring compressor you have but space is somewhat limited unless you remove the bottom bolt on the shock and swing the axle down.

@@monkey-hut Tnx for reply, I've just changed them 3 hours ago. I've tried yesterday but because I only jacked up one side of the car I couldn't get the axle low enough so I struggled, I eventually got 1 spring in but the bottom rubber bit kept sliding off so I left it off. Today I jacked the car from the front jacking points and put axle stands on the rear jacking points on both side. After I've done that it was easy, put all the rubber ends on and was done in one hour😁

@@silviuchitic162 Good job 👍 I know what you mean, you’ve really got to get the car up as high as you can to swing the axle down.

That's a thought, never considered the valves. Unfortunately this car was scrapped after, I would have loved to have kept it to keep tinkering with but I already have two projects and I don't have room for another.

As far as I'm aware the test only covers the seatbelt itself so as long as it works they don't care about the beeping as it's just a reminder for the driver.

@@monkey-hutAlright, thanks for helping!👍

Thank you. Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to come back to this yet, every time I think about it the car comes up with a more pressing issue for me, the latest one is the display on the instrument cluster has decided to act weird

I’m not sure red is my colour though 😅 I had a hell of a job scrubbing that paint off, it was worse the second day when I got a bit more on myself and then lacquered over the top of it.

Its worth a try, if it breaks again you haven't lost anything.

​@monkey-hut I managed to find the gear on ebay. It was a fiver only.

@@blumperjoe8920 cool, let me know how it goes

I was lucky with this one and it went on fairly easily but in the past I've often had to hold it roughly in place with pliers and tap it in with a small hammer.

Thanks for the info, I don't think the kit included one so it never crossed my mind.

The locking pin I have seems to be M8 going to a 5mm pin with the thread being 12mm long and the pin 26mm long.

I bought a Ryobi one from Halfords but it didn’t do the job and I ended up doing it by hand.

@@monkey-hut hi thanks for getting back to me, I bought a Ryobi impact from Halfords as well , it says it will do 400 nm , I watched some reviews on the Ryobi, and it was tested and performed well, even exceeding 400nm , that's why I I bought a Ryobi impact driver, anyway I've only used mine on wheel nuts sofar , no probs on about 100nm , it may get tested when I do the cambelt , thanks for your videos, hope to see more,👍👍👍

I know, I probably should have just picked up a pair of pre facelift mirrors in the first place but these were already on the car when I bought it and I can get quite stubborn about these things. Also I couldn’t find much info online about other people doing the swap so if I can figure it out and share the results I will.

Not yet, it’s kind of working and hasn’t burned the car down so it low on my list at the moment. Next step will be to pick up a Haynes manual and compare both the looms to see if I can make any sense of them but I’ll probably end up replacing the original fittings and picking up some pre facelift st150 mirrors

​@monkey-hut when ford done the face lift they also changed the wiring colors for a lot of the parts and looking at my Haynes manual (doesn't include wiring diagrams for the facelift fiesta) the yellow/red wire and the blue/white wire on your right hand door mirror need switching as the yellow/red wire is for left right and blue/white is for up down

@@186scott Thanks for the info, really useful. I’ve got to to a few other things to get it through its mot first but I’ll give that a go after. Just got to figure out the two spare wires in the passenger side now.

@@monkey-hut power fold.?

@@g3ges3 The extra wires? It's possible. The mirrors and the rest of the ST bits were already on the car when I bought it so I've got no idea about it's history.

Edited my reply as I was thinking of my video with the locking wheel nuts. I'll give the nuts another turn once I get chance, as it is the car is just sitting there at the moment, Thanks!

Scratch that, watching the video again reminded me that I had just put those nuts on temporarily as I had them knocking around, it's just that "temporarily" has become almost a year. I will fit the proper ones at some point though.

I don't know why I didn't think about the laquer needing a key, I think I must have just fallen into the habit of just polishing them up every year because I hate laquer so much. Thanks for the comment!

It's a OK restoring fix for the next MOT!! I also did the same on my fiesta 2006 model, After doing much research I chose the 3m restoration kit, The only additional tool required was a cordless variable speed drill, I didn't remove the headlights as there more stable left in, Just lifted the bonnet and taped around each headlight making shure it had several layers, The kit includes a 3inch base plate with micro hooks to attach the sanding disk, The instructions are foolproof if followed properly, Step 1+2 are dry sanding it's only step 3 you add water the p3000 trizact disk!! After this step spray any glass cleaner and dry the kit includes a headlight polish After buffing apply a certified Clearcoat like Maguires clearcoat with added UV protection one coat drys in less than 5min's job done😅 All the above products are available either Ebay or Amazon UK, I did mine with this kit 2 years ago and still look brand new!!🇬🇧🤔🙄👍

I couldn’t find my spring compressors on that day so I had to bodge it a little bit which I think I explained in the video, as such it was more about trying to figure out the weird ride height rather than being a how to.

Hi, how about changing the title to: "Trying to figure out the ride height on a Clio and wasting 6.26 minutes of your life on a daft video with zero content" Thank you

That’s a good question, I don’t know if the holes would line up but even if they did, it’s quite a small hole and I’d be worried about damaging the threads in the drum. I would offer to pop a wheel off and look but it’s raining that much here I’d be genuinely worried about drowning on dry land 😂

@@monkey-hutmakes sense to be better safe than sorry. Thanks for the reply and video👍

Yes you can did this today on my sons car 👍

@@andibond1974 Thanks for the info 👍

I thought I had mentioned it. This was my first time trying to do voiceover after the original audio proved to be unusual due to mic failure and I had to have several goes at it. Edit: sorry, I was thinking about the clip at 3.20. I hadn’t fitted the compressors at that point as I wanted to start the top nut going first but you are right that I should have mentioned them. There’s a good reason that I never title these videos as ‘How To’s’

I never even considered that. I always just assumed it was because they twist and deform so much. My rear bumper is pretty much held together with cable ties.

I know how you feel, I’ve never had some many bolts snap on one job before. I think it was 6 altogether 😂

Düzeltmeyi başardın mı? (Google tarafından çevrildi)

Ah, no. Sounds like you had quite the day with it. I’m not surprised with the handles, some of them can get quite brittle. With the seat cables you could always try using some stuff wire and try and push it up from the bottom to guide the new cable down. Something like a wire coat hanger but long enough to go through the entire seat back

Btw, you probably already know but you can get the handles quite cheap on amazon

Thanks, I’ll have a look at that next time I’m in there. I’m in the middle of doing the timing belt at the moment but I do want to pop the hubs back off to clean and paint them and probably readjust the brakes while I’m in there so I’ll try turning it around then.

Thank you, I think I may have the same book as you, even though it didn't do me a lot of good as it didn't cover the 2.0 petrol engine. It is covered on 9*13 under "16 Handbrake (automatic)" but I'm a visual learner and the black and white pics in Haynes manuals don't help me a great deal. This video covers the second time I changed the EPB, the first time I mostly figured it out for myself with a lot of trial and error.

It’s on my shopping list, that and an electric ratchet would save me so much time

He does that 😅
