some re commissioning repairs to Taylor Hetheringtons old Allegro to make it a daily
Some repairs to Taylor Hetheringtons old Allegro. It was brought to me to carry out a few repairs to make it a usable daily for life in central London. We carry out a steering rack replacement due to steering rack inner bush failure. It had absolutely no brakes, which was due to catastrophic wheel cylinder failure. We also replace a missing choke cable and fashion some wiper blades

Freelander viscous coupling seized? Info and DIY repair attempt process
มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
a brief overview of a Freelander VCU. I am attempting to self overhaul this unit. Attempt at your own risk. If it was a vehicle I was precious about I would personally spend the £300 and get a refurbished unit with a warranty. But it's not!!! so let's see what happens
Scusate ma questa e' la normalità del funzionamento oppure dovrebbe girare più libero??
Hi, how many silicon oil do you put insidie and wich kind?
Nice one thanks! They had a good soak in brake cleaner and seem to work okay
That's a well solid Allagro! It takes me back to my apprentiship days at a family run garage! A trick i learned with brake fluid contaminated shoes if you cant get replacements is to heat them up gently with a blow torch and the brake fluid sweats out 👍 Also liked and subbed 👌
what is happening with me ....when i park and when i turn into drive then it feels like it is braking as if it is blocking ... it only does it when i want to park ...in the test with only 1 rear wheel raised and with the weight of 5kg is slowly turning normally....what do you suggest like a good person
that seems easier than cutting it open and dismantling it. My mums cars vcu had leaked and there is no coupling effect. The unit must have cooked because the front cv came out sending all the torque to the rear and only realised when the car wouldn't move. Dunno if it was a shitty ebay cv or a weak spring clip on the output spline but i think opening up the clip will hold the shaft on now, but i'd like to get the rear wheels working again as intended too.
had a front driveshaft pop out on awd cruze/ignis which overloaded vcu, driver didnt know and now its fwd with leaking vcu. Is that fixable? I haven't properly looked at it yet.
Hey man thanks. I bought my teen son a 2004 Impreza Outback 5-speed, 156,000 miles. AWD of course. We didn't notice a whine noise, but it just started clicking or tapping around curves and acceleration. I can feel the tapping in the gear shift handle. And it seems it sometimes loses AWD grip when it taps. So I think the center diff is binding the output shafts sometimes. I don't think mine will be rebuildable due to heat. I found new ones with 2 year warranty for $185. Or OEM Subaru ones for $600ish. Any preference or experience? Thanks!
How do you know if its good or not?
Exactly
Check his full length video on this - gives the specifications as well. This is the end result.
how to test while still on the vehicle?
@@xander2bass out of vehicle. Isn't one shaft suppose to turn not in sync with the other?

hiya mate can you list what you used to do the job also howmuch fluid did you need ?

Thank you for this video!! How much oil did you need for refill?
Very crafty! Thanks for the info.
Awesome! I can tell from your commentary that you are well-versed!.....I Will be attempting this,. You have educated me thank you :-) Richard. mid-Wales
Nice idea. Might have to try that myself. Certainly a less invasive procedure that cutting one end off and then re welding. Was there any noticeable difference in balance due to having the different thread/bolt opposite the grease fitting or was the M10 just a precautionary exercise?
When drilled the unit, how did you prevent damaging the discs inside?
just go careful, as soon as you see fluid on the end of the drill, stop. You would have to drill all the way through the disc for it to cause a problem, even then it probably wouldn't make a massive amount of difference. I have done 2 units and not had a problem.
@@mgsautomotivemishaps I've never had a Freelander but am contemplating buying one - I was looking for typical faults when I came across your video - very interesting. Presumably the tap will enter the void slightly. Did you measure the wall thickness and mark the tap with tape, or similar? Unsure of the properties of the original fluid - would gentle heating thin it to accelerate the removal?
Nice cars
very nice late mk2 metro
Keen to know the result! Thanks for sharing.
Works really well, i have done 2 now. One using a 30000cst fluid and the other a 15000cst and both work well and can be turned comfortably with a 47cm length ratchet. I have re-drilled and tapped this unit to M10 on a pillar drill as it made a much neater result and kept the balance 100%.
Thanks for sharing info! Ho do you think, is 10000cst good or better use 15000 instead? @@mgsautomotivemishaps

And it is recomended to cut , clean, inspect, reassemble. Hace done 20 units until now. 3 of them had destroyed discs inside.
