herbie's american diner swavesey cambridge uk. Great place and amazing food 👍👍

@@mike_themechanic not far from me i live in Chelmsford I will pop down there soon thankyou for reply 👍.

@stevenaldridge120 no worries. Join the fiesta 123 meet group and you'll see when there is a meet there next time

@@JonatanHellberg inte riktigt. Jag har fortfarande samma problem. Har varit utan problem under sommar men nu börjar det igen. Det hjälper att lufta ett tag men det kommer tillbaka

Thank you so much 😊

@@cirilknez1715 it's all explained in the film

The master cylinder is easy enough to change yourself, doesn't need any special tools either. It's relatively inexpensive as well so I'd start there first

@@mike_themechanic hmm lets put that in way - i don't even have car jack to change tire, not the lift platform (or pit) to get under car.

@wolf1438 well you don't need to get under the car to change the master cylinder.

@@mike_themechanic thanks, my brother in law is car mechanic, so I'll leave it to him. I was just searching for some information I could give him to better describe my problem and also approximately evaluate parts and time cost.

I checked it with a ruler and it was OK so I didn't want to go to the expense of getting it skimmed as its very very expensive to do it in Sweden

The issue was it loosing heat. Very mysterious 🤔.

@@Roverturbo I've never had it happen before that the top of the bolt snaps off. I'll look in to the impact sockets and it might be wise to invest in a set

The orange one? 🤔

Yeah

Not sure to be honest, I'm not great on American muscle cars, I do know it's a V8 with a massive turbo on it. I think I filmed it again this yeah when I filmed 4 shows in one week

​@@mike_themechanicNice

@Imjustanormalkid it's really nicely built as well. Goes well too 😁😁

@@Mark-u2c thank you. 😊

That was my problem, the price, I had to order one in case it was needed

@mike_themechanic yeah, they are proud of that flywheel 😀 I am tearing into mine.

I know it's there but how do I check it?

@@mike_themechanic You should have to try fitting a new one or try to clean it

@@OritanoVero thanks. I'll try cleaning it

@@nicknorth-east yes I believe it does. I think it's the same engine.

@mike_themechanic That's great news, mine is a right hand drive UK model, it has an intermittent clutch squeak when pulling away. The Internet says it's probably the rivets touching the flywheel at the biting point

@nicknorth-east could be, could also be the slave cylinder but that the same job anyway

@@mike_themechanic I best do the lot as it's just turned 115k miles

@nicknorth-east better to have too many parts and only change the parts you need than to take everything apart and have to order and wait for parts.

Yes I filled mine untill it ran out. I was also a bit unsure as to if that was the correct amount but I went with the same thoughts as you. Good luck with the job and thanks for watching 😊

Thank you 😊 It really does look good in there, lots of people see it and know it's not standard but still don't know exactly what it should be untill I tell them 🤣

@@mike_themechanic Ive just picked up my own Mk1 Fiesta and the guy I got it from has one that's already got the Zetec swap. I don't know what to do, Zetec swap, or build up the original Kent 1.6 to get a little more power. The Kent engine runs so well right now that I don't really want to swap it out until it dies.

Also I'm a huge fan of your videos! Hello and thank you from the USA! :)

I'd keep the Kent engine and source all the parts for the zetec build that way the zetec swop will be alot smoother. It's alot of work and sourcing the parts is probably the hardest part especially as your in the USA and parts are probably not easy to find on the second hand market

The water pump was changed just before this video was made so I don't think so, unless it spins on its axel at certain times 🤔🤔🤷🤷

There are 2 major manufacturers here in Sweden defa and calix the later being the one I have installed. Calix is a Swedish company that has been around making these products since the 1950's. It's very rare for an engine heater or a cabin heater to set a car on fire (it obviously does happen but very rarely). The main cause of fires is people leaving things in front or on the heaters. The electricity comes from boxes outside and usually have a timer built in so they usually only run for 3 hours then switch off the electricity. Thanks for you comment and the opportunity to adress it. 😊

Definitely 😀😀

@@mike_themechanic well, i have had my 70's pretty much all original lada as daily drive for 9+ years here in finland. it starts easily without heating up in -30 celsius and such. actually i never had block heater on it and never probably will :D dont really need one because i have done RVS treatment. what i need is new thermostat, even then it have heated up well enough to drive but it should be actually hot inside even at -35c as i used to drive it with t-shirt on only.

My thoughts as well. Video coming soon 😉😉

Yeah they do a bit.

​@@mike_themechanic thanks for your reply! I'm guessing these settle into place eventually? Great video by the way, very informative :D

@Kllbr8 oh I thought you meant untill you had tightened them. Then no they should tighten up and be solid. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

@@mike_themechanic I've just sent you an email for clarification :)

@Kllbr8 OK. I'll keep my eye out for it

@@sikat57 I'd say it's fine.

Is the Sensor at my Pedal?

@@fahri692 done a quick Google of that fault code, and it seams to be 2 sensors that are not saying the same thing. Not sure how to solve it as I don't have these sensors on mine unfortunately

😂😂😂 As they are only filers and they get changes at least once a year it's not a problem. Most important is the quality of the oil.

@@mike_themechanic Put ridex brake discs and pads on my wife's xc60 last year and one of the discs has warped on a pothole already. brembo forever now

@@chrisofalltrades5666 good to hear as Im doing the rear brakes on this xc60 and I've already bought brembo 😊

@@mike_themechanic Do you by chance have a video for draining and filling the transmission fluid on the auto model?

@@chrisofalltrades5666 no but I can probably find out how to do it

Hope the video helps

I think it will all depend on how much milage you do. If your doing alot of city driving you'll be using the clutch more than if your motorway driving. 2 years dosent sond alot but it will all depend on the type of driving you do.

I agree with you. Unfortunately the brakes touch the inside of the wheels so I need to grind the calipers

@@richardhughes3994 yeah it's really good quality. I assume the one that broke was the original one from the factory.

I shut the door and drilled a 3mm pilot hole through the door and A pilar so they were in the exact right place, then I could open the door and drill with a step drill to the required size. Do you mean it won't lock when the door is opened? If so then you need to close the lock mechanism to be able to test it

@@mike_themechanic No, what I mean is that although the door locks when it's open, it doesn't lock when it's closed

Are you connected to the right parts? Connect to the rod that comes out the top of the door. It shouldn't lock when the door is open

I'm not in Langley mill at the moment. My dads car had a set of stickers on it though so it was probably him. Thanks for the shout out anyway 👍👍

I open the nipple and then press the pedal, it should stay down, then close the nipple and pull the pedal up. Repeat this at least 10 times.. Make sure you have fluid in the tank before and after your finished

@@jackgodass not försvarsmakten 😊. Tack

@@ALINUED the underside is already painted in bedliner paint.

@@adysbrightsideoflife3266 I was thinking of you as I was powder coating the wheels thinking you'd love this 🤣🤣🤣. Same to Mrs Bright. 😊

@@gj91471 I don't know but I'll test it and see 👍👍

Heelo Spain 😊😊 I love to hear from people from around the world that also have these amazing cars

@@TobbeSogndal do you mean the pipe that goes to the slave cylinder?

@@mike_themechanic no, the master, the small black rubber part you talk about on the video

@TobbeSogndal that fits on the end of the pipe going in to the master cylinder and on to the slave cylinder?

​@@mike_themechanic 13:45 into the video. It could be I have 2014 ecoboost version and the design slighty different perhaps, but mine would not seal until rubber pop onto plastic bit. Im only talking about the master unit😊

@@TobbeSogndal I can't get it to pop on to the plastic part but it seals up to it. That pipe goes from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder.

I've never heard of that tool and I didn't use one when changing my clutch. The clutch has worked and is still working perfectly to this day so in my opinion it's fine to do it without that tool.

​@@mike_themechanicSo, situation update in case this helps anyone out in the future. I rented the tool out of my own curiosity 😅, and I do think the clutch tool serves a purpose for an amateur mechanic. It helps you center and tighten the clutch bolts evenly while pushing it onto the flywheel mounting pins for the clutch, basically making any mistakes impossible, especially with setting pins on Sachs clutches. However, it can also be done by just tightening the bolts in order and using a proper centering tool. And @mike_thrmechanic Thanks for responding and keep up the good work!

​@@Lemonalgood to know what the tool does. I tried looking for info about it but didn't find anything.

Sounds interesting. Loads of cool fabrication work. Well done 💪💪

@@mike_themechanic also,adjustable toe and camber on the rear.....and still a beam rear axle.

@gj91471 wow impressive 👍👍

Thanks

Tack så mycket 😊. Tack för tipset med isracing det har jag faktiskt aldrig sett själv så det kanske jag kan satsa på i år. Bra med tips från någon som är väldigt erfaren 👍👍

@@mike_themechanic Ja jag tror med att en video på engelska om vår svenska / Nordiska Isracing skulle kunna vara upskattad med då jag annars bara har sett videos på Svenska För bara synen av ett däck med 23mm långa dubbar är ju rätt häftigt :D Och Ja kul om jag kan hjälpa till med något :) Det viktigaste är ju att det ska vara kul att göra videos inte bli en press / stress att du måste göra en video för då tycker ingen att det är roligt att titta på heller.

Ja helt rätt. Det syns av de som ser på video om man tycker själv att det är tråkigt. Jag ska kolla upp is racing

Tackar

Thank you 👍👍

Tackar 😊
