Diesel AL waving a spanner over the best era Hilux puffing on snout is what the punters wanna see
This is Britain this is how we do things 🇬🇧
Any content that starts with Al holding a cup labelled 'One of us is a twat' is worth watching! Perfect use of the 4-ton forklift to restore 'Rolling Thunder' as well. Another fine mess resolved🙌
Cheers fella 👍
My wife just doesn't understand why I weekly watch a guy talking about his plans and chatting while he's working on projects, bless her I don't explain anymore , thanks for the diversion Al!
Pleasure fella 👍
Got to love the old Toyota Hilux ute’s. Always a good day when a new video from 6D Diesels goes live.
Living in cornwall i wish you good weather for your stay , will look out for rolling thunder , and hope you get to relax / rest .
I think rolling thunder would look lovely with black wheels ,the lovely shine you get from black is really lovely against red , but it’s your choice,love the Chantal,
your content just gets better and better al , have a lovely trip away 👍
Cheers fella 👍
Another great episode. Enjoy your time away. Those steel wheels are available here in Australia in all sizes and white or black. Maybe we have more vehicles requiring them. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Amazing, the difference between knowing what your doing and 300 quid from the scrap yard, well done Al.
Good job Fudgy didn't go for a slash 😂
My new favourite channel 😊. Anyone else think fudge looks like Bruce Willis ?!
Bruce Willis from Temu maybe!😂
Another great video.
Enjoy your holiday, happy birthday to the missus.
For those in the know, at 8:57, Fudge proper drops his guts ... 🤗 ...
He proper let 1 rip
Will definitely be buying a few tickets for “blue thunder hilux “ really nice looking truck AL 😅😅😅 you need more vehicles like that 👍
Plenty pickuping in this one guys 👌 I'm in agreement Al, gotta be white wheels on the Hiluxy 🤩 although when you did get the tyre on that 8 spoke I thought you'd nipped round the local hgv breaker and came back with a super single 👀🤣🤣 quality again chaps 👍
Great episode. Can’t wait to try and win the Hilux!
Happy Birthday to the Mrs!
A Happy Birthday to Sharon on the 6th, hope you both have a fabulous time in Cornwall
Thanks Al , Fudgy for making my Sunday better after a crap morning looking for a special tool I put up safe ! Happy birthday Mrs D , have a great holiday
I do that !! Safe place …. So safe not even I can find it !!!👍
Great panel beating skills. Must add a forklift to my special tools required list. 👏
Cracking video. It is mind blowing how many jobs you have on the go all at one time…..well done A&F. Happy birthday to Mrs D next week, enjoy those Cornish pasties ☺️
Happy birthday Mrs D! Good news we got lots and lots of that lovely Cornish liquid sunshine booked in for next week 🎉😂
Ah, my Sunday dose of fun and frolics from 6D. Great vid fellas, big happy birthday to Mrs.6D!…. Have a joyus time on the Cornish riviera!
Superb work as usual, love your approach 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Impressed by the chain / forklift / Hilux interface and subsequent heavy hammer use , begs the question «do you repair watches as well ?» 😁👍🏼
Thats more like it, diesel heaven!😮
Great video .have a gd trip away .wishes Mrs 6d happy birthday for Thursday buy her a pastie lol bring fudge 1 bk lol
Hey Al,
I just happen to live in Cornwall and my advice is bring wellies and waterproofing for ya visit.Theres a reason its so green down here 😅
By far my favourite TH-cam channel. Another awesome video guys, I always enjoy watching all the way from New Zealand.
Another brilliant episode chaps. And happy birthday to er indoors on Thursday.
What you did with thunder I did similar to a metro years ago when I was working for coach firm after a driver clouted it but strapped it to work bench and pulled the font end back out couldn’t tell after new head light and everything else was new to it put in 👍
Great channel
I live in Croatia, with my Croatian wifey. She hates me listening to Frank Skinner podcasts 😂 .... but she likes your voice, I had to show her you n Fudgey so she could see, and you both got the nod. You should be honoured, you two are liked ... as for Frank, either I wear earphones or she wears ear plugs 😂
Morning Al and Fudge great video fork truck chain & hammers rustic panel beating at its best well done mate 🎉
Hope you have a great time in Cornwall Al & Mrs D . Your coming to my neck of the woods. I'm near St Austell. Happy Birthday Mrs D xx
I’m not sure that Chris & Rob need to give up their day jobs 🤔🤣🤣 Another great video 👍👍
Watching you while the parts washer and the compressor are having a shouting match. Can confirm Google AI subtitles don't speak Dorset. Good news though, that probably means yo're safe when the machines rise against us.
lol top quality 👍
Brilliant work there Al and Fudge as always top quality Toyota's 😊👍
@@AliMackMechanical cheers fella 👍
You can't fault it both of you make me smile and laugh every Wednesday and Sunday 😂 psychology where can I get a 6d diesel hoodie from? and happy birthday Mrs d

I feel your pain with the insurance malarkey, I’m going through the exact same issue as you Sir Al so you’re not alone 😫 insurance want your dollars but won’t help 😡
Yep we are 3 weeks down and not a peep !! 👍
Come on Fudgy, no point in doing up the capri just to drive it around the village. Need to spread your wings 😮👍🇮🇪
So I agree with white wheels for the mk3 and I understand that you don’t like black wheels but with the bmw when you refurb the wheels I think it would be best with black 👍👍
All the best and in joy your brake away
I had a funny convo with a "mockney", total bell-end saying to me about wistful times in the pie and mash shop "tons o' licker" he was going on and I said "oh so you like jellied eels then?" and he was like "eurgh disgusting don't like them innit" sort of thing so I put a crimp on his day, month and year... I said "liquor is what's left over WHEN they make jellied eels" and bid him good day, personally I can't abide the stuff adorning me pie n mash a decent bouillon base gravy all day long for me.
Apparently, the weather in Cornwall is meant to be proper lovely at this end of the year........if you're a fish and live in the sea 😂😂😂 enjoy 👍
Turning into gimp my ride channel, tarts handbag 😂😂 should be an interesting look & hope it works. Always interesting to see what ticks over in that cranium. 😊 should have it all done in a flash.
Love the video 😁 Hi Lux’s are my favourite 4x4 Toyota is amazing especially in the 90’s
Mice like Maltesers. Amazing how they go for them in traps.
Happy Birthday Mrs D from a fellow Februarian. (16th for me)
Good morning Al and Fudge happy birthday to Mrs 6D great video guys
Morning fella 👍
Condolences to you and Merv’s family, Al - any passing is sad news 😔
Flip-side of that, wishing Mrs. D a very Happy Birthday on the 6th - I see another “Cunning Plan” is about to hatch on the Cornwall trip with the ML MOT running out and having to take the Hi-Lux - you’d never’ve fit your surf board in the back of the ML 😂 Make sure you take a couple of properly thick wet suits !
Safe travels, have fun, and looking forward to the next instalment!
Best,
JCHK
I'm halfway through the video but I wanted to say that I really liked the Blue Hilux as it was when you bought it, if I won it I'd ask for the silver alloys. Enjoy the cold Cornish holiday with your 22 year old!
4 minutes in and saucy comment alert ⚠️. Manual fuel pump action made me think Mrs D is a lucky lady 😂😂😂😂. It's OK I will put myself in the corner. x
😂😂😂😂😂
Ee lad, I see tha's got a parkside cordless ratchet, that's good enough for me to justify my purchase of same. Cracking video Gromit 😂
They do work quite well , no Milwaukee but good enough to do the job 👍
excellent, thank you 🙂
Busy Busy Al happy birthday Mrs D have a great time in Cornwall.
Cheers lads sundayeth completeth
recently did something similar to this but used the crowed tilt service and pulled it back keeping the tension and tapped it out hence no yuk yuk and it didn`t break seem to think it was pulling another fork lift door straight on its hinges
Sorry for mervs dad poor bloke. Happy birthday, misses 6d and when you pull anything keep it on tension may make the job easier n Cornwall is beautiful i done a old church converted into a house for my first roofing governa beautiful sir
Here is a little tip for all you "glasses wearers in the workshop"...
Roll some rubber bands around the legs/arms of your specs on the bit that fits behind your lugs and they won't fall off every time you bend over some at!
Your welcome.
Al.
90's Hi Lux heaven complete with KC Daylighters, alloys and lift kit.
I am in heaven.
OOF !!!
Peppermint oil, they do not like the smell that will get rid of the mice problem❤
Pretty sure Cornwall will be nice and quiet in February so probably at its best - but also a man should keep his eyes open for any treasure - sure there will be some down there.
HaPpY 22nd bIrThDaY Mrs. D on Thursday🎂🎂🎂
When I had my Jag XJ40, I was sat at the lights by what is now Asda's here in Gill and I felt this kind "push" from behind, so got out to investigate and this prat pug boy had gone up my rear end... The scores on the doors was: damage to Jag a little scuffing on the rubber trim... Peugeot which was fairly new at that time... wiped out front end I mean abs wrecked.
When you were bleeding the Hilux you can hear one low compression, I recon you have one piston in some sort of trouble!
Lots of doinks 😂😂
I don't envy you going on holiday in Cornwall in February, don't forget to pack your thermals... :P
I did say that!! This is not the first time either 👍
Al demonstrating his expert Coachwork Realignment Skills using the "Patented 6D Doink and Thumpeting Apparatus Technique" to excellent effect⭐💥And A Very Happy Birthday to Mrs D ⭐for next week!🎂!
I assume by "humane mouse catching traps", you mean some cats? 🐈 🐈 🐈
For the bodywork you do, I thought you would have one of those lever chain hoists, you can slowly pull dents etc.
I had an Austin Maestro van,1.3 petrol....always wanted to 4x4 it up. Why not buy a Disco??? Surely that was a Disco~proto ?? Sadly gone years ago.
Land Rover🤮 not a fan 👍
Happy birthday to the boss sorry mrs d 🎉
Oh yes a new video !!!!
Do you and fudge ever stop ? 😂 love the vids keep em coming 😉
Hiluxes starting to be repaired good stuff
Nice truck are you going to give it a quick blow over or a decent paint job
Another great video has always al and fudgy and mrs d and mrs fugdy 👍
Proper coat of paint, it’s not going anywhere so best do it properly 👍
I had my 96 year old dad's funeral last Thursday
👍😎
AS long as you know what you're doing AL that's fine by me 🤔👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What happened to seeing the trans?
Great video Al. When cranking the Hi Lux after sorting the pump did I notice a ‘loll up’ from the engine (possibly compression issue?) when crank in’ or am I imaginin’ fings?
Happy 22nd Buffday to Mrs 6D diesels hope you are taking your surf board to Cornwall already look in’ forwards to the next instalment…
ah ye😎😎
I am sure that is just a trick of the light/camera angle......but
The near side wheel on the Toyota looks to be further back then the off side???
Will u do an underneath , chassis inspection, and how you going to save it
Yep lots of chassis was on both thunder has never seen salt and the blue hilux has been dry for over ten years, best done before it hits the road 👍
Part through watching this, is the sticking rings on diesels common. Had a v70 d5 I put a scrap yard engine in, when running it had high crankcase, blowing oil through the turbo into exhuast housing, and out through rear main. Have watched your vids when you take head off and fill with petrol or diesel to see if rings leak. If sticking do the need a good thrash?
Won’t do any real harm, I’d plum the engine breather in to a plastic can though 👍
Caught it early today, Video uploaded 13 minutes ago.
Great vid Al. Shows how rubbish modern vehicles are, compared to older ones. All bling and no substance! Agree with you on black wheels, need painting white. Black looks awful with red body. Happy Birfday to Mrs D for Thursday.
Another great video fellas. I hope I’m talking complete rubbish, but I have an irritating recollection of full size bull/roo bars getting banned by the fun sponge police? 🤔
Yep you can’t have one on your Chelsea tractor you’ve technically got to have a valid reason !! I’ll just use dangerous Vw drivers…😂😂😂👍
🤣 tough to argue that one!
Seems TH-cam is trying to verify subscriber numbers by unsubscribing people, too make sure the number is accurate. Its also probably a good thing for the algorithm, if the subscribers to be interested in reactivating their subscription.
Al’s tea is obviously delicious, one lump or two. Yeah rat fans.
:o)❤
This video still rendering in the background Al or have you found a random potato to film on ? 😂
No it’s loading to hd really slowly tonight 👍
"I'm not a great fan of black" says Al , dressed from top to toe, in what is essentially black. Speaking of which are you still on speaking terms with Will Smith after your guest role in "Men in Black" and more importantly are they still paying you the royalties?😂
Sadly it’s about the only colour you can wear in this job, grey or whites not a good idea 😂😂😂👍
Appy Burpday Mrs D have a great holiday, I wonder whats for sale in Cornwall 🛻🙄👍
