- Cold days are upon us and we definitely felt it!
So to begin with, we started the day by replacing a coil spring on a BMW E90. This job was actually passed on to us by a subscriber; if you're watching this, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
We then followed it up by replacing a 2021 Amazon Ford Transit Gearbox fitting, which we took out from this video:
• YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SERV...
(Thank you Callum!)
We then replaced a Peugeot 207 CC Clutch as it was reportedly slipping. From the looks of things, it was replaced recently BUT there is a massive issue! Watch the video to find out more!

You did the right thing. Advised the customer of the leak, customer declined, so no warrenty given as eventually the leak will contaminate the new clutch and cause the same issue.
You are one of a rare group, a good mechanic who explains their work clearly.
Thank you!
He's gonna pass the problem to the next guy, like in the old days here people, used car salesman etc would put saw dust in trannys to fix slippage long enough to sell the problem to the next guy. good work as always.
This is why (leaky gearbox) there should a central register of repair jobs that are faulty. Your client is knowingly going to stiff someone on a deal by failing to declare the gearbox and clutch are going to need repaired in the not too distant future, leaving someone out of pocket because he won't pay for a proper repair.
Great stuff Mat and team.. Can't understand both car owners.. Beamer man needed to do both springs and Peugeot man should have done his gearbox oil seal as that would have been a cheap job seeing as it was visible .. Good work Guy's.
I would've had the gearbox seal replaced as there is no extra labour involved even if I was trading the car in. It is an absolute no-brainer. To me it is peace of mind for the next owner. I hope whoever ends up buying this car finds this video. You did right to refuse a warranty. It is not worth penny pinching with critical parts. If I was the BMW owner, I would've had both springs replaced. I had a broken front spring replaced on my Mercedes W204 and I ended up changing both sides. I had to pay my mechanic to do the actual spring change because my coil spring comperssors weren't up to the job.
Exactly what I was thinking! I did tell him it’s not more than £15 to replace but didn’t wanna spend extra £
just found the channel came up as recommended still a few out there that do quality work thankfully restores faith in the industry good mechanic's are likes hens teeth find one keep at all cost ours just vanished to Spain for Tax Reasons gutted
Just started to watch your channel. You guys are superb. So good to see mechanics with a pride in their work. Great channel. Thank you.
You've got such a wise head on young shoulders. Keep up the good work.
Obviously , if the customer doesn't take your advice about the gearbox oil leak then you cannot guarantee there will be no further slipping of the clutch , good work chapz
Great work bro , not many can do what you can on a couple of jack stands 💯
You are right , both sides need new springs
Should have had both springs replaced. But that's down to the owner
3 people 2 hours = one man 6 hours. Keep up the videos👍
i drive part time for Amazon just for a bit extra money & the agency i drive has 30 vans, only 1 of those vans is a Sprinter… we currently have 4 transits with no 2nd gear 😂 thank god i’m the only person who WILL drive the Sprinter 🤣
Great videos and my thoughts exactly when replacing coil springs...even my local garage who we have used for years only fitted 1 rear spring when it broke....🤨
It's a crappy Transmech clutch!, baffling why customers insist of fitting crap instead of Sachs, LUK or Valeo, repeat custom comes from good service using OEM quality parts not fitting junk
I second this! ^^^
Cos cheap
Cos they can’t afford the cars they’re driving if you can’t afford the repair bills don’t drive it plain and simple.
My biggest bug with cheap parts is budget tires and cheap brakes just because you dont care about your own life don’t risk other road users.
Shouldnt you fix the leak before you put clutch in. No point putting new clutch in.
Exactly why there is no warranty. The customer didn’t want to do as he’s apparently trading it i; which I obviously found unfair but it’s not my choice
I would always show up with every seal that is involved. A clutch job us mandatory for axle seals new axels if necessary input shaft seal shifter linkage seal and rear main. Just incase when i pull everything off i find damaged or leaking seals
If i coukdnt warranty my work i wont take the job. Let them pay for a tow. On top of the book time
I couldn't not have that seal done .I'd not feel good in myself. But obviously us good people are in short supply .n bad people seem to do better in life normally. Not right 😢
I would have refused the job.
Luk clutch. Your gonna place the gearbox back before replacing the seal? i would call them first and tell them. the seal is done and sinds the gearbox is off we recommend replacing it now. i had a main seal starting to leak. told the garage pls replace and do the clutch also i got a wierd look from em. turned out it was in need of replacing in near future. and sinds it would be an 800 euro job for the seal it would be same price because ecual job just different part.
False economy on the customer's part, just do it right while you've paid to remove the gearbox anyway, that's the most expensive part of the labour bill
Completely agree with the decision not to give that customer warranty - same way anyone would refuse to accept liability if a customer drives away after being told about a repair needed, then suffers a breakdown due to them not taking up the advice to carry out the repair. The Amazon jobs always look interesting, can't imagine any Amazon driver uses much mechanical sympathy when driving the vans!
Personally I treat my car well , Customers choice but don't see point in not changing seal especially as you offered to repair it and notified him crazy to me lol 😂 keep smashing out the content bro it slaps 😎
Big up Yapton, I collect my van from that yard everyday 🤣
You must’ve seen us by now, surely? 😂
love your videos mate you were right not to give warranty on that one.
You guys do some great repairs you are correct with that gearbox oil seal it should have been replaced same time has clutch I never Sean one of them leak it is always the main seal behind d the fly wheel that leaks 😂
Phil nI stoke
I suspected you guys were Filipino but I still laughed when you said "gago". 😂
Respect you need to do a lot of vehicles and a lot of miles to make a living
Great video quick question , the transit with the leaking gear box its a 71 plate was it just out of ford warrenty ?
If you haven't done a clutch on the 1.6 before. That bolt hidden by the cat will take you a while to find
That’s what my brother was saying in the video. First time we did one, it took us 5 hrs to do the job because of that single bolt 😂. We were searching for at least 1.5 hrs
Everytime my wrench slipped/fell down. “ WHO THE F*CK DESIGNED THIS SHIT “
The car was built around that bolt mate 😂
@@themarvelousvlog that bolt never gose back in lol 🤣
👀💀
My guy uses same trick as me 7 or 8mm alen key socket in back of hub 🤙👍 makes light work (BMW)
Powerful service long may you reign with your business 😊
Thats kind of you! Thank you 🙏🏾
@@themarvelousvlog can I ask which impact gun do you use?
Milwaukee M18 High Torque 1/2”, Milwaukee M12 3/8”, Milwaukee M12 Impact Ratchet 3/8”
@@themarvelousvlog thanks brother, much appreciated. All the best. Big up brown munde
@@themarvelousvlog sorry by the way was looking online at the prices for new ones. Are you interested in selling your old Milwaukee power tools to me?
Don’t take the advice, no warranty for you, totally agree with your decision.
That looked a lot easier than a seat alhambra strut 😅😅😅😅
Question ! Why wouldn't you replace a £5 gearbox oil seal BEFORE replacing the clutch.
Bearings have probably failed on the laygear and its picked up on guide tube
Impressive stuff - 2hrs to change teh clutch on the floor !
2 hrs times 3 people =6 hrs
U really need a cover for the shock press
If it lets go ur going to have a hole in your roof or destroy ur head 🤪
I wouldn't be bla zay with doing shocks n springs
GO ONNNNNNNN STEVE lad👍
So the gearbox seal is gone so you decide to create the same problem but charge him ..bodge or what
Imagine asking for the clutch to be fixed but not wanting the gearbox fixed.
How much extra would that have added to the job?
Just under £15
@@themarvelousvlog some people are just thick and selfish.
Trading that in, he’s just passing that issue on. For the sake of £15 just get it done and have a solid motor that’s safe for the trade in.
How tight can you get?!? Still. You can only do what your asked.
@themarvelousvlog I think for the sake of next owner I would have replaced the seal anyway
What would you charge for a aux belt replacement on a berlingo
Wasn't that a bit dumb putting it back together with a blown seal? It'll just ruin the new clutch!
Think you Guy's earn your money.
Hi new subscriber here love watching you guys .just a quick question..is that the m18 mid torque half inch impact wrench. Does it do most of the jobs well such as suspension and subframe bolts .Cheers guys keep the vids coming.
No, this is the High Impact M18
I have a little 400nm Ryobi that can do subframe and suspension bolts, it's bmw wheel bolts/nuts that are the real torque testers apparently.....😂
Oil on cluth = on 90% Crankshaft seal defect.... Nice job guys. I like Your's videos.
Hi, my mate just had his MOT done, and got an advisory on the serviceable part on the steering rack on a 2010 fiesta.
To which i was confused about, i don't know what the mean by serviceable part of the steering rack. Any ideas.
I used to work on car but that a new one to me, but I've got my thoughts on it, but I'd love to hear yours.
Thanks love the channel.
Steering arms ,the part that the track rod joins to,take the steering arm gaiters off ,there the long rubbers on both sides ,turn your steering wheel all the way ,till there fully extended,and you can get at the nut holding them on,usually there 30 mils or bigger ,once there broke loose,And you replace them use loctite to keep the new ones in place, hang on your talking about your mates car, sorry thought it was yours, anyway you can advise him, pretend your clever ,ha ha that was a joke
can you sort out a car fault code p89 on a 1.6 petrol mokka 2014
Hi Kabayan,Im a subscriber and please give me advice on why I have coolant fluid mist in the spark plug chamber on my 2015 Ford B max 1.6 auto. I am puzzled where its coming from.Imfrom Bournemouth,Dorset and wonder where are you based?
Core plug leak
Short sighted not replacing that gearbox seal. Customer is probably trading the car in so someone else 's problem in a few months.
Why did you remove the caliper and disk to take the shock out of the knuckle, isn't that a good bit of wasted time?
Makes it a tad easier imo
The BMW at the beginning is and E60 not E90 (5 series not a 3) 😁
I’m very ashamed about this. A guy from BMW doesn’t know the series’ 😂. This was a job from a few weeks back and only got edited yesterday. I was just trying to remember haha!
Good spot. I was only testing you 👀👀👀💀
Great video cracking job ❤
Great video as usual! What degreaser do you use?
Just a normal brake cleaner mate. Bremtec brake cleaner is brilliant
When you take wheels off a vehicle do you torque them back up? Never seen you use a torque wrench on the wheels
I think I will be including that now whenever I do it. Answer to that is yes, always
@@themarvelousvlog be good to see, I watch your videos and imo it’s been the only thing I’ve picked up on, keep up the good work
Awesome vid as always.
Thank you sir 🫡
Waiting for your vlogs 👀👀👀
It’s a BMW E60 not E90 . I’m a fan of your work, I’ve always wanted to do mobile mechanic but I’m currently flipping cars
Yeah sorry mate! I fully thought it was a 3 series hence why I called it E90- embarrassing 💀
I need someone looking at mine two garages cant find out whats wrong....
Go a knock when accelerating and deceleration, not all the time tho....me personally id say drive shaft even tho there new 😂
U cover Hertfordshire
just because they new doesnt mean they are not the culprit, can always get a defective part that fails quickly
Have you had your dogbone mount checked yet?
Have you checked rear bottom suspension arm bolts sometimes they not tight enough and can give a knocking noise on forward and stopping knocking
@PandaMobileMechanic I will check that
@@themarvelousvlog that's new also lol
Don't forget those knee pads boys.
You guna wish you wore kneepads when you 35 bro. Trust me
Some poor mug will buy a car with a gearbox seal problem and they will not be told of the issues the car has, that IS a problem in my mind. You should not have continued with the clutch repair without replacing that seal. It would not be the first or last time that unforeseen issues are found.
Do you cover south east London crayford .??
Yhup! t&c’s apply

spot your mistake, to why the gearbox is leaking .......
using power tools and not torque wrenches to put gearbox bolts back on., i wouldnt expect a warranty either.cowboys
I like your content however, in this case I think it's bad practice. I took my car to my mechanic to have the clutch replaced. It cost me £1200 (BMW Mini) & didn't even get me 10 miles before catastrophic failure. Mechanic towed me back & told me the gear box had gone. I'd never had a problem with gearbox ever & knew it was a clutch problem as it was burning, the very same problem he'd charged me £1200 to fix! I then spoke to a mate who's an engineer & he told me schoolboy error. Whenever you remove the gearbox you need to replace the oil seals, it's common practice & should be done EVERY time you do a clutch. I demanded that mechanic fix the job I'd paid him to do, ie the clutch because under consumer law, it has to be fit for purpose & last a reasonable amount of time based on the amount spent. £1200 for a clutch to last less than 10 miles is not acceptable. I got the car back eventually with a working clutch but sadly a friendly business relationship has gone because I can't trust him any more. Replacing the oil seals should be a given & not an option, factored into the price for doing a clutch.
it took 2 hrs but if you were working ur self, it would be more than 2 hrs
Usually takes me about 2.5-3 hrs when working alone
@@themarvelousvlogoh ok, just thought it would take longer. Thanks for the quick response
Transmech?
Uhuh. The best kind 😂
E60 not e90
I thought this was a 3 series bud- sorry! Forgotten as it was like a week ago 😅
Don’t get me wrong you look like you work hard but having 3 people to one job not really cost effective ,
Adjustments are made. Been running the business for quite a while now. I have to make sure that the company still makes its money 🙇
Didn't need a new drive shaft just pack with grease new clip away you go
Should've put the old clutch back in, not wasting the new one on an idiots car. I give that car 1 minute till it's contaminated.

Kinda dumb you can get both front struts new completely loaded under $200 pair.i sold my spring compressor cause it's cheaper buy a loaded one half the labor
And you must change the upper strut mount 100 percent no good after driving around broke spring .but I digress your just a baby you will learn in another decade or so .
