These videos are meant to be educational but also funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro
0:05 Unfortunately I did not get more information regarding this clip. But as I mentioned the customer said he only used oil additives and doesn't put actual engine oil in it (weird). There are a couple of things that can cause the engine oil to look like this jelly. I've seen internal coolant leaks in the engine cause this. The engine oil and coolant mix and makes a jelly substance like the one shown. My other idea is that the customer used a bunch of different oil additives and mixed them together which caused this to happen. I would send an "oil" sample to get tested and see what the results are and go from there. The mechanic did say they just replaced the engine as per the customer's request.
0:25 Mechanic, shops, and dealerships don't have the ability to not let a customer leave (where I live anyway). So to protect their butts they get the customer to sign a waiver stating that they told them they need new tires and it's not safe to drive on the roads. Where I live, we've had to do this and if the vehicle is really unsafe we have to call a Peace Officer and notify them. Then the Peace Officer handles it from there and can take the customer's vehicle off the road, fine them, etc...
0:41 The o-ring sits underneath the fuel pump and you can describe the lock ring somewhat as a nut. It tightens so the fuel pump stays in place. So with that being loose and no o-ring it was leaking fuel. Also, the van is a diesel and diesel fuel expands slightly in volume as temperature increases. So they most likely filled it up and drove for a bit then realized this.
0:59 Rubber gloves, masking tape, and some other stuff got stuck in the power steering reservoir and the power steering pump (you can see them removing a blue nitrile glove). Since there was a restriction and a restriction of fluid going to the p/s pump it overheated and the power steering stopped working.
1:22 I dislike those battery terminals. They're okay for a temporary fix in my opinion. Also, the vehicle didn't start since the person who tightened down the clamp, didn't tighten on the exposed copper wire that's showing. So obviously it didn't start, since it can't make a connection.
1:31 It got towed in, not driven in. I should have been more specific on that.
1:40 Mechanic said: "Got recovered in because the gearbox dropped down whilst they were driving it, was a Renault master van and used one downward-facing bolt for the gearbox mount which gave up, was a local business and they asked why we can't just put a new mount on it and send it."
1:47 A very rusty floor on a 1995 F-150. You can see the seat belt dangling underneath.
1:59 As mentioned this vehicle has roadside assistance for 5 years but the customer decided not to use it. They could have called for a free tow truck or to have somebody install their spare tire. The mechanic said the wheel was luckily not damaged.
2:12 Plug & patch. That need's to be inside the tire to actually work and don't use duct tape to "fix" a tire.
2:22 Look's like the customer drove with loose lug nuts for a while. You will have to replace the studs and possibly get a new wheel.
2:38 One rotor is ventilated (1st one shown) and the other is not. Ventilated rotors have better cooling and are used on the front wheels. By using two different sizes you'll mess up your braking.
2:48 A bulletproof Toyota 4Runner. I thought it was cool enough to show you guys. Also, the driver's side window looks to be cracked.

New video Thursday and best of January & February video on Sunday!
Have a great week.
Lots of jello in that one motor, we took an engine apart once from an Audi quattro and it was like this, they only ever used Pennzoil, my dad said there's paraffin in Pennzoil, in other words, wax
looks like the stuff you might pack wheel bearings with
@@aninnymoose720 if grease is a lubricant, it should be fine, RIGHT?
Kinda scary how stupid people are.
can someone tell me how to dissolve it ??i found an engine with the same gowy oil
"Only uses oil additives" maybe someone told him "coolant" makes the engine run cooler, so he added it in the oil. :-))
Honestly... it would not surprise me. 😂
I think he thought adding oil additives reconditioned the old oil like new LoL
@@JustRolledIn When it comes to vehicle owners, NOTHING surprises me anymore :-))
I've been wondering what causes this "jello" stuff. Far from the first time it has shown up here. Must be a bunch of some sort of additive. But I wonder what one.
As a joke I ran my knocking push mower for the summer on pure "motor honey" and it didn't do anything, it eventually thinned like regular oil.
Later on I pumped a tube of grease in it and that was what I ran it on for a few more years till the chassis cracked and I scrapped it. If anyone pulled the dipstick it looked like poo was on it with all the grease!
That Lucas oil additive stuff is pretty thick, I imagine if you use a ton of that over time an it gets hot maybe it gels up as it denatures or something.
As an electrician I appreciated the battery wire clamps on the insulation the most. It's incredible how often you see that in an industrial setting. Causes tons of overheating problems when the clamps are touching half wire, half insulation.
I worked on one of Bill Gates' Mercedes about 15 years ago. It had glass like that and steel plates inside the doors. The thing was a tank.
The "what're you doin down there!?!?" in a slightly higher pitch with clear barely restrained laughter is one of my favorite parts of this video. Sometimes the goofy nonsense mechanics come up with is a riot to hear!
The duct-taped tire had me dying.
Somebody has taken 'Duct Tape Fixes Everything' to heart.
And the cat is dying
I see Red Green's patented "duct tape fixes everything" tire repair method is still a thing. 😂
Handyman’s secret weapon!!!😜
Tbf, in a pinch, if you are somewhat close to a mechanic or tire shop, I would probably do the same if I had any tape handy so I don't damage the wheels until I can get to someplace to replace the tire.
@@gillgetter3004 So remember. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
Guess I’m the handy type!!
@@CyberianFaux Keep a tire plugging kit in your car. If you use them properly they'll last the life of the tire. Never had one fail.
1:40 LMAO! That's FUNNY! "What are you doin' down there?"
I don't get it...What am I supposed to be seeing?
@@gedstrom The drive train was nearly dropped out the bottom. Hence well below what was expected.
@@125AXer Thank You!
The scariest part about these videos is when you're driving down the street, these people could be right beside you in these cars. I'm poor and very cheap. So if there's a way to make my car work without spending money I'm gonna do it. But I also understand how cars work and I know what is and isn't safe. I've driven some sketchy cars, but nothing like what I've seen in these videos.
I'm poor and cheap too, but I also live twenty miles from town and depend on my car. Vehicle maintenance is one of the two places I never cut corners
I fully understand the struggle but when it comes to vehicles, almost always, skimping on some important areas to save money, will come to bite you in the ass and cause you to spend even more to fix what initially could have been done.
It's not even a case of being poor a lot of the time, I know rich people who DIY with their cars like that and the car ends up falling apart and costing them a lot to either repair or replace... Maybe they have too big an ego to let an expert touch their car? Idk.
In Arabic we have a saying: "Give the baker his bread even if he eats half of it."
For cheapness, I have seen a car driven around with the tyre cable worn through and flapping around as the wheel turned.
It was in an African capital city on a private hire taxi.
As a mechanic of 61 years the two things you never scrimp on are tires and brakes. Cheat on them and you could easily end up dead or worse. Everything else... just coast to the side and fix it when you can. :/
Hammer, zip-ties, duct-tape and J-B weld: the four horsemen of repair apocalypse
You forgot Velcro. FIVE Horsemen!! As in "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!...our chief weapons are hammers, zip-ties, duct-tape, J-B Weld and Velcro oh damn!" (Monty Python's Flying Circus).
Zip-ties are incredibly versatile, and useful dough.
I used a zip tie to hold on a Jeep’s hood along with some baling wire .
Okay, I have to confess to an emergency "fix" on a tire, when I was a kid. I had decent tires on my VW bug, but hit something on my way into work. I could hear the leak. I grabbed a pencil, rammed it in the hole and snapped it off flush. I made it to work on the tire. I came out, expecting a flat. It was still holding air. I pumped it back up to 32 lbs. And wondered how long the pencil would last. I had a new tire on my spare, but drove that stupid pencil tire for the next month, just to see how long it would last. Never lost any air. I figured that was a pretty good test, and changed it out. But, I always carry a pencil in my cars. Never know, it might get you out of a bad spot. Maybe they should put a mileage rating on pencils.
A popular roadside enmergency fix is to screw in a wide woodscrew coated in glue or sealant to plug a hole in a tyre, that usually works and lasts pretty well.
@@rodpanhard
Out on the freeway and the only thing I had in the glove box was a pencil.
Invention is the necessity of mother. 🙂
Or you just put on the spare tire?
I was wondering where all those pencil dots on the road came from.....
@@rogerwilco2
That would have been a good plan, but I was on my way to work, and didn't want to be late. My #2 pencil got me there on time.
That one tire...duck tape. The handymans secret weapon. Red Green would be proud.
The duct tape also works as a first aid kit accessory if you lived with the Trailer Park Boys.
If women don’t find ya handsome make sure they find ya handy
@@ppainterco lol
When I was I highschool there was this one kid in my class who "fixed" his moped's tire with cellotape. A LOT of cellotape. You could hear him coming a mile away: "flopflopflopflopflopflop"
Red Green was a mad genius--but he wasn't _crazy_ ... ;)
Though, remember the episode where he duct-taped two parts of a BUS together???
Someone in higher management, at the commercial vehicle rental company i worked at, decided to replace all the Toyota Hiace vans, that had earned an enviable, proven track record for reliability, and being able to stand up to rigours of being a rental vehicle for years without falling to bits, with Ford Transits. Six months later the transits were gone and the Toyotas were back. Then, a couple of years later, in a stunningly ill thought plan to save some money, they tried it again, this time with LDV vans :-))) LDV are appalling, shoddy, Chinese made versions of a former British product. These lasted two months, before that plan was scrapped. :-)
I wager the idea guy was scrapped too.
"before the plan was scrapped". By then, so were the Transits and LDVs!! 😧
@@everready19373 Probably to a windowless office, hopefully.
I knew a bloke in Australia who had a transit van and had replaced both engine and tranny after a few months. At his expense.
@@Nighthawke70 Nope it was a family run business and he is one of the sons, or son-in-laws. Can't remember which.
Had a Dodge Durango come in for its first oil change at 68,000 km. As soon as I had it up on the hoist, I saw the black factory filter and knew I was in for a treat.
Cracked the drain plug for the first time and nothing came out.
Cracked the oil filter and it was like playdough.
Got to see the customer's face when they voided the warranty and holy shit was it delicious.
I changed the oil and we discussed the best way forward. Testament to Mopar power, we ran it outside after putting some cleaner through it and she ran just fine when it left. Never saw the customer again, though.
Years ago i was getting tyres for my car and while waiting was asked by the shop to be a witness as a guy wanted to drive off on tyres that were worn through to the belts. He couldn't wait the 20 minutes for them to get the tyres he wanted from their stores as he had a meeting he was late for with a 2 hour drive away. I had a quick look at all 4 tyres and all were similarly worn. Crazy stuff.
Damn scary these people are on the road.
Try driving your car away in the UK. (You could tow it away) The shop may refuse to give you the keys and call the cops. The cops may arrive, impound your car and give you a ticket. You'll get a $4000 fine and up to 3 penalty points per tyre. Get to 12 points and you loose a licence for 12 months. Road safety is taken very seriously in the UK.
@@csjrogerson2377 and I also believe in Germany as well and I think a couple of the Nordic countries too, if I am not mistaken.
@@csjrogerson2377 Most of Europe has the same rules. Some more strict than others.
@@1-2_Flush_Water_Saver In My nordic country the fine is $175 for each tyre that is worn down below minimum, but the fine can be higher if it is deemed a safety risk. Also if the tyres are worn down to the metal, the police will issue an instant driving ban, and you will have to have the car towed.
In severe cases, they will take away your license plates as well.
Just wanted to say thanks for the simple explanations for us non-car nerds who just like to feel better about not being *that* bad lol
My retired mechanic father just watched this with me said he was experiencing deja vew, only the vehicles were different.
Lol! I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Your dad probably suffers from PTSD from all the dum & crazy crap during his time as a mechanic.
stupidity is timeless
Holy crap, the new battery genuinely made me laugh. I needed that after the work day.
If you need bullet proof windows on your car, it's time to move...
Or you need to stop pissing the wrong people off!
@@ryanm4013 Yep, that could be it.. lol
When I was a general service tech for a garage I would see that all the time. People driving on the flat and then get pissed when we tell them the tire is junk.
I see ubers with a flat going 30mph on the flat to get to a tire shop ,hurts to hear the sound
Never mind the tire is junk; so is the RIM if they go very far.
I'm a gst myself :)
@@CRAPO2011 I don't even know why they'd do that, considering that it takes all of 10 minutes to put on a spare, and that is if you don't have power tools.
I could do a tire change in my civic in 5 minutes , with the shit Jack. My Tacoma is harder 🤣
Not gonna lie, took me a second on the new battery 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you got it. Or else you'd be buttholasaurus98
Not wrong, took a screen shot, and spent some time, looking for the problem! Forehead is bright red from the slap...☺
I did too, until I took a closer look for the buckle was a BIT distorted....

@@JustRolledIn Well, to be fair, the person DID strip the cables before installing...

I put coilovers and UCAs plus rear shocks on my f150. When I took it for an alignment I asked the shop if for an extra $50 they’d look it over for any problems. I was 99.9% everything was good to go but having a master tech double check never hurts. The shop I use is awesome. They found an oil leak and the truck was still under warranty. They checked the torque on the oil pan bolts and when they were in spec they called Ford told them exactly where it was leaking an also emailed pics. I’ve had issues with ford on warranty work but not a single issue this time. I can do most maintenance on my truck myself but you’re so much more likely to find stuff when it’s on a hoist than you will crawling under it in the driveway.
You got yourself a good shop! What year F150?
@@JustRolledIn the year of the BS post. Didnt know F150s had coilovers lol. Those are struts.
@@thefordmaniac you can get after market coilovers for F-150's. I had them on my 2012 F150.
This is Tru....
Oh, this one had me laughing at times. This was one of the best ones yet. What causes the oil to gel like that?
No oil and lots of 'additive' also not doing an oil change in a veeeeery long time with vaso as your additive...
The customer who brought that car in said that when changing their oil, they 'only use oil additives' which is suspiciously worded different than saying something like 'I always put in an additive.' Making it sound like he uses additives or a cocktail of additives to fill to capacity, disregarding the use of any service specified "regular" oil.
@@mickblock He only uses additives and not any oil from what the technician said.
Maybe they used corn starch as additive. Vegan approved :)
@@dave161141 LOL!!!!
Whenever I'm worried that I'm not taking good care of my car, I watch videos like this. Every clip gives me second-hand anxiety, *and* a profound sense of relief that, "I've never done *that* !"
Wow, the jelly-oil was insane...... Makes you once again appreciate, what such engines can take.
Reminds me of my car. Cylinder head gasket broken at some point, I recognized it VERY late, when there was almost no "oil" left, and it was a fine mixture of oil and water. The engine was running as usual and didn't give me any feedback through some weird feeling, that something might not be good. The oil check light told me at some point. (And I could pay more attention, there was quite a visible puddle of oil in my garage)
1:20 as an electrician I actually laughed out loud at this.
I'm staying home from now on. But first, I would like a chemist to identify and explain how certain oil additives polymerizes synthetic oil into rubber. Perhaps "Project Farm" could take on that challenge since he's testing and experimenting on everything. Or NileRed could analyze the engine blob. 🤷🏽♂
Todd will do a head-to-head using various additives in the same synthetic oil to see which one makes the bounciest blob. Red will take each blob and see which is most flammable.
@@katdeville Correction: NileRed will make gummy bears. "I noticed that the molecules look similar."
@@katdeville And ChemicalForce will drop the blob on some cesium to see if it explodes.
Common! Todd knows how to measure lubricity and Nile Red would synthesize the whole vehicle?
I suspect that they used multiple oil additives and 2 or more didn't play well together, causing the unfortunate scene we see in the video. The same thing can happen to coolant if you mix different types together without verifiying that they are compatible with each other.
The battery post and the tire patch on the outside was hilarious.
I had to look twice at the battery terminal. 😁
That is one strong wire harness! 💪
These videos are proof that the bell curve is real.
Modern society is proof of that 😂
Half the people in the world are dumber than average
@@John_Ridley You think half are smart? You give humanity too much credit.
@@iamtheoffenderofall Do you not know how averages work?
Admittedly it should be half the people are dumber than the median, but with a sample space this large the median is almost certainly the same as the average.
So glad I did my research for a cargo van before buying. I wrote off the transit and promaster in lieu of a good old E-250.
I'm glad for the shade tree mechanics. They keep us professional mechanics employed!
@Peter Angles that’s OK Peter; Vera “Mae”-be mistaken! :-) …See what I did there?! :-)
And the people who watch TH-cam videos and think they can do it but they don't know enough to know the video they watched was a fluke I tell people if you watch a video and they can't tell you the name of the part they say to remove this thing so you can get to that thing stop watching and find a different video
@@veramae4098 Ford?? :) "You're gonna hate the quality...FORD! Quality ain't Job One!"
@Peter Angles Maybe all the plastic parts did before the engine seized?
Vehicles that have their engines seize can catch on fire, I put out a car fire from that happening , it threw a rod ( I think) and it punctured a fuel line and the car caught on fire due to fuel spilling on a very hot engine compartment
Watching these, makes me feel like a grand master mechanic - and I'm not even a mechanic :)
If you dont drive your car for 10 years without maintenance and dont tinker with it without proper research, you are already better than a lot of people.
Another classic episode! Some people should be banned from driving, and owning anything mechanical .
You could give them a bowling ball, and eventually there'd be an explosion somehow.
shouldn't have pets or children either...
"We are all erring creatures, and mainly idiots, but God made us so and it is dangerous to criticise." Mark Twain.
some states require a maintence check to get your tag. not sure if its required for the renew though. its a pretty decent idea. my state had it but stopped back in the early 80s.
Agreed!
That battery hookup made my day!
I got another funny one like that for tomorrow's video lol
The oddest thing I ever found inside an engine - was nuts and berries in the cylinders.
We had a number of company trucks and my boss thought he'd buy this old junker and fix it up to add another one. It had been sitting a while - and he asked me to rebuild the engine. So - I took it apart and found nuts and berries inside some of the cylinders.
Some small animal must have crawled up the tail pipe and through the exhaust manifold into the cylinders where the valves were open to store his supplies. I'll bet he was pissed when we towed it away ...
That truck - was a mistake. Once my boss saw how bad the engine was - he told me to forget it.
.
Happens with snowmobiles stored for the winter. We’d put steel wool into the end of exhaust. I’ve seen mice climb through and pee on the cylinders. Lock your motor right up.
@@ronjericho7977 Yep. There are little furry critters that can get into things you would not believe ...
One thing about that fur ... is there are often very, very skinny animals underneath it. I've seen Jack Rabbits just go right through a chain link fence like it wasn't even there.
.
squirrels have been known to stash nuts in peoples' vehicles.
Did you return the nuts and berries?
@@Mark-jc1qj No. I'm afraid that since I was not the one with the truck when it was towed over - I had no knowledge of where it came from - and it did not even occur to me to do so.
Besides which, I was much to involved with trying to deal with an engine where the rings were rusted to the pistons and I broke the tip off my Buck Knife trying to pry them apart. Like I said - once my boss saw that engine he told me to forget it. It's possible he salvaged some parts off the thing but ... I don't think so. I think it just got sold for scrap.
The moral of this story being - no matter how good a mechanic you might think you are - don't fool with a junker - unless it's like a labor of love for a particular type of machine. Commercially - it's just not worth the trouble. You'll spend more time on the thing than it's worth.
My boss had not paid much for it. So I don't know if he got his money back from selling it to a Scrap Yard.

Hahaha,oil additives,looks like granny's gravy after the weekend🤣😅😆
😂
I worked for GM for almost 15 years and an additional 5+ for Ford. I have seen and talked to service managers at any number of dealerships over the years about the many strange service issues they have seen. These are amazing. These kinds of stories tell us several things: people are very creative and imaginative in their attempts to solve problems with their cars; it also tells us how desperate folks get to keep their vehicles going when they do not have the financial ability to pay for routine maintenance.

the good old "ive done it myself" i love when customers think they are mechanic legends destroy there stuff then bring it to the workshop and blame the car or even try to blame the mechanic who is trying to fix the damn thing
there is a reason mechanics are trained for years and are examined in both theoretical knowledge and practical capabilities in germany
The "I've Done It Myself" group now lives in the digital age where they can find easy examples of what to do or easier ways to ask people. It was more forgiving in the past but nowadays their ignorance is life threatening and should not be allowed
The 'fixed it myself' gallery of tyres was hilarious...
Not gotta lie
Oil that jiggly smooth without mess
Must be the cleanist job ever 😅
The window motors on that Toyota must be pretty powerful to be able to hoist those windows up.
No kidding. Usually those types of windows are fixed and not able to open, in part for that reason (also because sometimes the door armoring takes up that space)
It does make me wonder if they upgrade them indeed.
But doesn't that also make yall think who's going to that dudes shop?

Absolutely amazing.
The 2011 avalanche with the messed up studs reminds me of this mustang that came in. Very similar situation except they were in the day before and another guy in the shop had just put on new tires and never torque them down. We were all relived the tire didn’t come off. Bad maintenance is scary
That first one- The driving jelly mold!
The absolute stupidity of these owners is astounding. I would get nothing done because I would not be able to stop laughing at them along with co-workers. I would HAVE to share the hilarity of it all.🤣🤣🤣
Really, got pissed off when they were made to sign a waiver? They’ll be even more pissed off when they have a crash because of those tyres!
The mechanic said the customer was a Karen 😅
That customer would sue that shop in a heartbeat if she got an accident after leaving. She would cry about how she “just got it out of being repaired and they said nothing” to her about the tire. That I can guarantee!!
Here in Ontario the plates would be taken off the vehicle. Repair techs cannot let them back on the road.
All we can do here is tell a Peace Officer and let them deal with it.
@@JustRolledIn Typical Karen behaviour!

I've seen enough Sci-Fi movies to know to run the hell away from that "oil," lol.
i love the "what're you doin' down there?"
Another great episode, love those diy guys once they come into my shop, especially for something I diagnosed previously
Thanks for being here!
Had a lass come in with a 2017 Nissan (company owned). She didn't know that
1. You need to change the oil
2. At 44k miles past her oil change, she can't top it off (we do free top offs between changes).
She had sludge. The oil pump was no longer working. She also didn't understand why we couldn't replace the pump even though we were closed.
I have a neighbour that's weird like that. Every couple of weeks she pours just enough oil into her Renault Twingo for the dipstick to just barely hit "min." and only adds more when the dipstick doesn't touch oil anymore. She's never had an oil change, because she's never had enough oil to change. I've told her again and again to please at least fill it to max. but she says "It's a waste of oil" and "I don't want to risk overfilling it"
@@PrototypeSpaceMonkey at least she had something resembling a thought process

Public service announcement: Jello is NOT an oil additive.
My first vehicle was a 1966 GMC PU. I kept her going for 22 years until parts just became impossible to get. I did all my own work. When some part work break, I would take the system course for that break down at the local community college. They were self paced and designed for a semester. I could and did finish them in a week. I would show up in the morning 7:00am and leave at 9:00pm. I loved those self paced courses! Now with TH-cam it pretty easy to get instructionals on any repair. There is definitely a finesse to being a good mechanic. A little bit of theory combined with lots of experience over the years really helps.
If I had not seen any of these, I would not have believed just being told about it. Thanks, JRI
1:00 Didn't wanna spend $10 for a new cap probably had to pay $500 now.
Yep. Just goes to show when you try and cheap out.
@@JustRolledIn Checked Amazon 2 for $8usd btw.
@@METALMAN4Wii jeeze way too expensive 😂
I have a 2020 WRX, and I change my own oil, but I do it every 3-3.5K miles, unlike the mook who probably didn't change his for 20K.
Got to treat those Boxers right
@@JustRolledIn Haha, exactly. They're great cars when maintained well
It's still going to crack a ringland or spin a rod bearing.

Maybe yes, probably not. It's stock and I don't drive it like a stole it. It does see close to redline, but not very often and not for long, mainly when I'm merging in NYC's wonderful traffic...
Mama sez...stupid is as stupid does...lmao
I've never seen anything like this before. Wouldn't have believed it had i not seen it.
"Thank you for not endangering others with tires like that!"
I made a mistake with a wheel a few years ago. Didn't tighten the nuts and I lost 3 nuts and broke 1 of the bolts. Thankfully I didn't end up crashing but did replace the bolt and missing nuts myself. Didn't have issues since then because I made sure all of the nuts were tight.
you got lucky brother
0:35 I watch Cop Shows from the UK, and tires like this (if caught) would get their vehicle towed. Vehicle Inspections (MOT) are strict!
Also, vehicles must be Licensed & Insured in the US, but anyone can drive it. In the UK, every single person that drives the vehicle MUST be Insured to that vehicle, or (if caught) you get a ticket and the vehicle gets towed. Clone Plates (Copy License Plates) are a big problem in the UK, but they have Automatic Number Plate Readers that alert them.
It's a £2.500 fine per tyre here in the UK for tyres that are below the legal minimum (1.6mm 0.063 inches). It's also an offence to drive a vehicle you know is unroadworthy, so being told your tyres are bald means you can't legally drive it.
The insurance here works like this.
I buy a car and insure it myself but I put the name of my wife down on the form as a named driver. She is then insured to drive it too but it does obviously cost more for an added person.
I love this pod cast
Can’t believe we share the road with these people
I see Ford are still making quality products..
They are. Just not the Transit, apparently...
If free roadside guys car has the same free roadside as Ford does it’s no surprise he drove it in. When my brand new F350 crew cab diesel lariat wouldn’t start in the cold Ford told me to send them a bill as they didn’t know what to do. No BS
What a joke! Ford has sure gone down hill. They claim they do anything from battery boosting, lockout relief, fuel delivery, flat tire changing and a few other things. But when the time comes who knows how the service would be.
@@JustRolledIn I love their products but I’m here to tell you the paper I wipe my butt with is worth more than the paper their warranty is printed onLOL

Enjoy your videos!! Watching from the Ottawa valley.
Hello fellow Canadian!
One word. Unbelievable. Great video 👍
Stuff of nightmares like this is why I'd stomach a mandatory MOT even twice a year. Less chance of some hero on DIY (no)brake job, bald tires, or wheels holding on by hopes and dreams wiping out into me.
Or generally to save the idiots themselves from driving rotted-out deathtraps.
I know, right? I mean, how much of a genius do you have to be to realize "Hey, I can see the road through the floorpan. Maybe it's time to get a new one welded in." (Or better yet, a whole new truck.)
Yerbut.....
I just fixed an MOT failure (UK) only one of the fail issues were correct and they missed a brake pad that was down to the metal and an unsecured battery.
"A small percentage of people do stupid things so I want to be treated like I do stupid things, too." I'm so tired of people begging for government bureaucrats to tell em what to do... Pathetic.
@@looneytuneslefty4811 you miss the point entirely.... Pathetic.
Some people should not own cars.
The duct tape repair was the best!!
My very first car was a 1984 Chevy S-10 bought in 1988. The original owner got the truck new and never changed the oil. It finally threw a rod and I got it due to a family tradition of buying a car in need of an overhaul then having the kid rebuild the engine.
The truck still had oil but when I pulled the oil pan off the sludge was so thick it had blocked up the pick-up for the oil pump. The oil wasn't as bad as this one, but it was close.
I had that little truck for the next 10 years, butting another 100000+ miles on it. The engine was still rock solid. Everything around the engine was wore out, but that engine was solid.
I just love the batt . I showed my wife and even she saw the problem .
That tape around the tyre was the best.
Love that duct-taped tire. Some of those cars had no business on the road.
0:08 hey do you have any Nutella, yup let me go in my garage and get it.
Just more a Amazing...
