I have always been a car nut, and since 1994 when I passed my test I have owned over 100 cars.
Growing up we used to travel to Germany a lot by car, and the first time we ever flew I was terrified. I never really lost that feeling well into my 20s, but then I got a job which included travel to places like the USA, where I had no option but to fly.
Over time I earned enough frequent flyer points to start booking premium cabins, and with that I started to enjoy the experience, not only of flying, but the lead up to it.
I’m not totally over my fear, but along with cars and travel, I wanted to share my experiences with everyone else.

The P11 Nissan Primera SE Goes for an MOT
I got the P11 Primera in for its MOT and glad I didn't break this for spares.
This will be up for sale, so let me know if you are interested. It would make a great solid project for someone who wants a Primera without all the rust.

Collecting My TWO New Nissan PRIMERA Donor Cars to Save my @TheLateBrakeShow GT
มุมมอง 285หลายเดือนก่อน
Regular viewers will know that in order to save my GT i made the decision to buy another Primera to use as a donor for the floor pan panels I needed. After finding a P11 2.0SE I decided it was too good to break, and so I found a second Primera, a P11-144 1.8 Sport which had the added benefit of having the same brake calpers as the GT, which means I can utilise more of the car. I feel I am final...
I Bought TWO More Nissan PRIMERAS to Fix my P11 GT
มุมมอง 3282 หลายเดือนก่อน
Yes.... I have gone and bought two more Primeras to help me fix my P11 GT, however one of them is likely too good to break. Firstly I got a nice 1998 2.0SE which has had the same owner for the past 21 years. Then after realising it maybe too good to use for parts I bought a 2001 P11-144 1.8 Sport which in all honesty is probably a better parts donor as it has the same brakes which I desperately...
BMW X5 E70 Handbrake Switch Replacement
มุมมอง 7582 หลายเดือนก่อน
A common issue on the E70 X5 (and the F10 / F11 5-series) is a broken handbrake switch. 2nd hand ones can be expensive, so I fitted a new £14 switch from eBay. It is a very easy job and can be done in less than 30 minutes.

Alpina D3 BiTurbo FINALLY Gets New Timing Chains and Limp Mode Fixed
มุมมอง 5044 หลายเดือนก่อน
After nearly 4 weeks in at BM MiniTech, the Alpina is back home. Following the timing chain replacement they investigated the limp home mode issue related to the air intake temperature sensor, and found it was a short circuit in the DME (ECU). A 2nd hand one was sourced and the old one cloned. I will do some draggy testing once its a bit drier to see how much the performance has improved.

is the green seal that is between the air intake hose and the turbo the same as the one between the intercooler pipe and the turbo? they look simular but maybe one is bigger
My grandfather has a car like this. Its been sitting in a barn since around 2009. The reason it got put in there is because of severe rust in the sidepanels i suppose. It has a special livery on it that i have not seen any other Sunny have, and it has windshield wipers on the headlights. Its also for some reason called 1.6 LX. Not SLX, and i was wondering if you know of any other car that has what i just specified: A special livery and windshield wipers. I am not sure if it is called a livery or paintjob, but it has red stripes on both of the sides of the car, above it saying NISSAN SUNNY, that is on both sides of the car. I have a photograph of it from before it got stored if you wish to see it. What do you reckon the price could be to repair this car? I am too young to legally operate a car though. The car is located in Norway.
Is it lucky that in other countries, they don't get Adblue/DEF at all in their diesel BMWs?
What countries do you refer to? All of Europe have Adblue on the later diesels. Some countries don’t have the same emission standards, of the better quality diesel.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel One of them is the Philippines, where I live, our family's 2017 BMW X1 20D came with no adblue at all.
I was on the same boat as you
You mean at the same time? Or just this boat?
Same time
Is it possible to do it in a same way with an biturbo n47 e81? Thanks
Without engine removal?
There maybe some other steps involved but it should be quite similar.
i own a 1996 nissan primera camino with the sr20de japan engine thoughts on this as mine completely stock i was thinking to put a pod filter on it.
A filter will make it sound nice but unlikely to give any real power gains on its own.
Oh dear, the breakfast is now awful, changed everything. Can't ask for what you want, fixed on a silly board. Got one fried egg one sausage. Bacon and one sad toast. No orange juice not even jam for bread. They filled the plate with roast potatoes, I kid you not. Mushrooms were half cooked. No yoghurts or croissants . A tour group got a really good breakfast in a separate area with all the trimmings, visible for all to see. Forget, stay in bed an extra hour and eat on land.
That’s a shame. I’ll be on it again later in the year and will try and review again.
Dear Neil I hope my message will hit a nerve, I look forward to your comments.
Loved the video! Particula8as I might have to do this on my 20D X1. How did the missus like the turbo rinsing on the kitchen island??? 😂 Thanks for sharing! 🙏
It’s not a bad job, just don’t tell your wife where you are cleaning the parts 😀
Be wary of using adblue stored outside in clear cans, it goes off. Been using adblue from halfords, its in light blocking plastic bags, way to go. Handy spout and alot less rubish.
Thanks for the tip.
He should have chipped to buy you a new polo shirt from M&S
Much prefer an old polo shirt 😀
How did u de attach the wire you put the resistors on please make a video on that!!!???????
The resistors come with 2 prongs that just plug into the plug.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel not the resistors but the plug you put them in how did you de attach that one?
Once my turbo axle got broken so the turbo centre part blew up, and tond of oil got into the exhaust. We have replaced the turbo and started.. Man I know what you mean... my village disappeared - even police came out. It was indeed a nightmare.
Pretty frightening at first, but assume it cleared after a while?
Yes please, there is a slight vibration when braking at higher speeds on my f10. Had the brake discs done and it fixed it but not fully. Any ideas?
Very likely to be the control arms on the front. I am planning a video soon, but depends on work commitments etc.
I feel sorry for your watch ⌚ 😭
I do sometimes remember to remove it 😀
why does my n46 not have that silver pipe thing
Could depend on year or engine. Mine was an N42 so maybe slightly different.
P11 harika bir araba, Türkiye’ den selamlar.
Thank you. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Hi Neil, I had a gut feeling the old Primera would pass the MOT, this would make a great car for you or some one else.In all this is good news on the Primera. Take care
It’s got your name writes all over it 😀
Not just a pass, an awesome pass! I hope yiu can find the right person for this true survivor
Yes I was very happy to see a new exhaust on it as it showed it was truly cared for.
I'm such a loser, my brain at 10:38 goes "he needs some 28268-9F904s". I haven't worked for Nissan for close to 10 years and I still remember that number. I don't know how much they are in 2024 but they were about £10 each back in the day. Loving the P11 content, takes me back to my trainee days in the early 2000s.
Haha. What are they? Batteries? Glad you are enjoying it.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel No they are remote shells/button repair kits. If you continue to use saggy/split rubber buttons it breaks the metal button underneath
@@tomball84 ah, luckily the keys are in really good condition.
I inherited a 144 sport 1.8 from my dad years ago. Was a great car in it's day with the usual Primera handling. Any Jap car I've ever owned has been pretty much bulletproof which is more than I can say for my previous wet belt Pug 308 puretech.
Hi Neil, Agree use the 144 for parts to save the GT and SE, but the SE looks road ready how did it get on with the MOT, Cant wait to see how you get on with this Primera project. Like I said before I miss my 2 Primera's, Good luck with these cars
Haha. I can’t spoil the video. The SE MOT video will be out Saturday. 😉
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel Nice one I'll see you then
I do not need a Primera...I do not need a Primera 😂😂 But I am tempted....a little
You definitely do need a Primera 😂
Take it from me you do need a Primera, I've had 2, I miss them
Found a gear knob yet?
It’s got a GT LE Momo one on it.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel ah saw what u commented on the mg maestro video about the shifter knob
I got a nox sensor EML warning. My local garage cleared error, and it's not returned. He did say i need to put adblue, but the display on idrive says 8000 miles left. I'm confused. Surel, if i do that, i will overfilll it.
You can’t over fill it as it’s like a fuel tank, once it’s full it will just spill out. Not sure what’s the sensor has to do with the Adblue though.
Neil I need your help I can hear your pump working there is no sound coming from mine I also have e93 windows went down now they don’t even go up checked relays they seems okay what you recon I think I should do the same get a diagnostic tool (I checked the screw at the pump it’s all good) get new relays or new motor?
Where are you based? The relays are the first place to look, but also check you have power from the batter board. It’s the bit I had to bypass in either this video or one of my other ones.
Interesting to see you didn't disconnect the harness completely. @GeorgeAusters video shows a complete left side disconnect and fold over to the right side of the bay to get the manifold out. How easy was it to remove the manifold with just lifting the modules in the JBox and disconnecting the connectors close to the manifold? I'm going in to swap out the manifold next week as I have the same leak at the swirl flap actuator (why BMW can't let you just change the o-rings is beyond me).
It is a bit harder but wasn’t bad at all. Removing the harness completely can be a pain too.
How much HP?
Can’t remember. 75 or 100
Yeah you seem to be going the complete opposite of downsizing 😂
I know. Starting to think I have an issue 😂
Good luck explaining the two new vehicles to the wife 🤣😂🤣😂
Shhhh, she might see the comments 😂
The sound is a bit poor in this video. Please get a wireless microphone.
I have got one but didn’t have access to it today and wanted to get a video out. I will ensure I use it next time though. Thanks for the comment.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravelI heard it fine and I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 😂
Nice there is definatly plenty of parts from both those cars.
One will be parts, the other will hopefully get back on the road….. whether I can bring myself to sell it is another matter.
Hi Neil , keep us updated, have a good one
Thanks. Will do. Another video coming soon.
A nice easy diy job to do that anyone can do.
Yep, a lot of people get daunted by jobs on newer high end cars, but it’s not bad.
Fake lol a mclaren is not 2k 😂
Got me there. 😂
Awesome! ❤
the most beautiful car
Thanks. I do love it.
After cleaning the intake manifold for clogged Soot, i ended up mixing the connector for oil pressure and charge temp sensor thus putting the car in limp on higher revs, this video helped me understand on the go that one connector has 1 pin and the other 2 on a same 2 pin connector... Geez thanks.
Glad I could help, thank you 😀
😂😂😂 typical bmw e46 haha lucky man
Yeah could have been a lot worse.
Great vid. Just waiting to fit my relay after water ingress, nowhere near as bad as yours so Im hoping and praying I dont have the problems you have had.
Let me know how you get on.

Hi Neil a have trouble with my roof, nobody in cr knowing about it in the BMW suggests replace all the roof
If you have no codes then the most common issue is the 2 salmon coloured relays on the pump.
Hi … have a question, what sort of documentation check is done regarding the car? I just bought my first car in the UK but did not receive the new V5C yet, I just have the V5C/2 with my name on it. Could this be a problem? I am on a schedule and can not wait to get the definitive one before the trip. Any insights? Cheers
I have never had a check at the ferry port, but you could get checked on the motorway of you got pulled over. Normally only takes 3-5 days to get V5 document if you did ownership change online.
