Great video as always

Nice film Derek. Almost as good as being there, but miss the smells!

I also like your filming technique, it suits the subject very well.

Nice collection of cars. I did not know of this event. Will have to visit next time.

It's a good idea to wrap an old rag around the base of the oil filter to catch the oil that comes out when you undo it. Tighten it, and the sump plug, to 25Nm.

I was always disappointed when I changed the oil on the diesel engine to be black again straight away. I liked that it stayed clean in a petrol engine for about a week, but unfortunately that's diesel for you 😢

I live in Argentina. and i have a fordi fiesta TDCI 1.4 y love the car. the engine sound is music for mi ears. Sorry for mi terrible englsh. Nive video good job.

I've come to realise that one of the most dangerous inventions ever created are those pump-things that allow you to change the oil by poking a tube down the dipstick tube of a vehicle. Firstly, it means that you can end-up with a vehicle that's 15 years old, has 150k miles on the clock and has NEVER had the sump plug removed. If you're the first sucker who tries to change the oil without using the evil demon-sucky-tube-pump-thing you're going to have a nightmare trying to loosen the sump plug. Secondly (and arguably more importantly), it means that all the sludge in the bottom of the sump has never had a chance to escape AND nobody's ever checked to see if there was anything stuck to the magnetic drain-plug that a proper engineer saw fit to install when the car was built. I recently changed the oil on my missus' Civic and, after having the fight of my life to remove the sump plug, I suspected that it'd previously only been done using a sucky-tube-pump and so I resolved to change the oil a 2nd time after another 1000 miles. 2nd time around, the "new" oil was already black and sludgy and I got a heap of black sludge out when I drained it. Bunch of people have suggested I buy one of those sucky-pumps but, for me, it's got to be sump plug every time. Still, could be worse. I just changed the gearbox oil on my Disco' and it turns out it was filled with cappucino!

Just confirmed anyone from yorkshire is a cyunt

Hello Derek, another nice collection of cars. I think I have seen some of these before, on other walk arounds that you have posted.

Very helpful job done

hello do you have a way to change the air conditioner compressor

It was a good show and good turnout of cars. Weather was fantastic. Well done for catching a few of the cars that had left by the time i got around like the P76 and a lot of the Rover P5 as well as various others. Good show review👍.

Hi Sleepy Cat Pictures. Here's an issue with my 1.4 05 Petrol Fusion. I don't think it's a handbrake problem but I am baffled by a problem whereby when I start my car all seems well until 30 seconds later when the vehicle is in motion my brake light warning light comes on and my speedometer pretty much simultanioulsy drops to zero. The brakes seem fine and I think it's probably just a sensor as my brake fluid level is correct. I am however bambozeld as to why the speedometer drops to zero. Have you experienced this problem before or have you any ideas? Thank you.

Good job done derek👍 not as easy on mine i am afraid

Your a brave man laying under there with air suspension lol.

Probably one of the best oil filter tools I've seen so far.👍

Hello Derek, I have been using Penrite HPR Diesel 5 for at least 10 years now. It is an Australian made semi-synthetic oil, 5W-40. Each time I have removed the cambox cover to replace an injector loom, everything inside is bright and clean and right up to an oil change, you can still see the dipstick metal through the oil, the engine stays clean. I did once use the 10W-40 version, but the engine was sluggish to start 1st up in the morning, OK when warmed up. Has 282,000 km's on it. Take care and enjoy your retirement.

Just learnt this about oil. If you have and engine that's timed by chains rather than rubber belts, the chain will wears the viscosity of the oil quicker.

Have you greased and checked you prop shaft universal joints. One to check is the front as one side has no grease points and does wear.

Thanks for the beautiful TD5 sound track. Good choice in filter make, they also make a good centrifugal filter. Had cheaper ones which have been unbalanced. Have you noticed in the first 30 seconds of the video the anti roll bar bush?

Hi Derek, I thought the oil was 5W30?

Funnily enough, I'm using castrol Edge on my next service, can't beat regulator oil changes 👌

Same Ford Fusion 2005, will check the vid and hope that it'll work. Many thanks though! Greetings from Greece

Hi mate , My connector plug looks half melted on mine. Could this be causing my slow acceleration and cutting out. Where are the connectors available for purchase. They look the same as the ones on the injectors harnes ?

Hi Derek, great vehicles, loved the day out. You spoilt it a bit with that old duffer, with a hat at the beginning. He reminded me of me, the older version. Time for Botox and face lift. Hoped you are both recovering from last weekends weather. All the best.

Hello Derek, looks a bit damp there, we're freezing here, middle of winter and actually getting some rain. Good collection of cars and tractors, not used to seeing those busses. There are double deckers in some states and the occasional one here, but most are single decker types.

I had the same issue with the 3 bolts not budging, on the tail door lock. I drilled out the centres to remove them and just replaced them with regular bolts, with proper 6-point heads on them. Fiddly little jobs to do those door locks.

Practically tropical 15c. Remember the first time I had handbrake problems, was in a old Vauxhall Viva 1256cc, it came off in my hand!! Just waiting on parts for the x-trail, feels like drivers side CV joint is on its way out. Last year replaced passenger side. Might get done before Sunday, If we get the weather??? What time does the car show start?

Nice fix, I was fully expecting it to be the brake fluid level aswell, had that problem going round roundabouts a couple times.

Hello Derek, what a performance just for a door lock. I hope nothing happens to mine.

Nice one Derek. As you know I never got round to doing that job on mine. At least you have replacement glass and frames you could do up. Perhaps another video? If i am free I might bob over to the show on the 14th.

Pat yourself on the back for a top bodge. Derek, most average Joe's would have thrown the towel in when the three bolts wouldn't come out 😂 as you said, you'll replace the rod later (maybe)..👍

Perfect timing, this is near the top of my list to do!

Fiddly job. Looks like your quater glass channel support has dissintergrated. Carefull it doesn't drop down and smash pal.

Time for a change Derek🤔 I have the ideal 4x4 for you.

Same issue so ..... but have to say it was great watching you,as you reminded me of my lovely dad. He'd of said exactly the same things as you with the same sence of humour too okey dokey ! ...I miss those days

Hey mate did you use genuine or aftermarket ?

awsome guy you are, can anyone understand your unclear introduction, you should keep in mind some guys need your tips but if you speak farmer slang is'nt work at all -unfortunately. Hope your next Video is clear, you on your right way to help others indeed!

Hi Derek, Watch out for WD40 got petroleum in it. It lovers to melt Silicon!!!. Try a direct negative from battery to the ECU case. Just in case you have wiring with a high negative resistance. Belts and braces.

Move it on Derek sell it .

You seem a bit down Derek you ok🤔

No idea what's causing your codes but it relates to the ACE so that's a starting point, looking at your ECU i would attach an Earth wire direct from battery to the body of the unit, this will eliminate most electrical issue with td5s as they almost always come down to bad earth.

Since clearing the 79 milestone, I too can not play the piano. Couldn't play the bloody thing before either. Remember the days when wiring could be tested by touching it to earth, sensors were things animals possessed to find food, and land rovers could be "fixed" with a lump hammer. Ain't progress wonderful.

Thank you for this. I have confidence to do this to my car now

When you was on the rover 75 stand at the back was my dads old spitfire we was selling at the time

Having se same issue.Tried a working RF receiver no change at all.Any advice please?

Shud also note if changing the abs ring with a new one try using old one first as i had abs light pop up using the new one

Great Job!! Thank you soo much

I have *the exact same* problem over here. Same seat, plastic all wrangled up the same way. I'll try what you just did...
