My daily driver is a 30 year old, 1994 Buick Regal sedan. It's been through at least four accidents ( two with me , not my fault)and was beat up pretty good by an EF3 tornado that was about 50-75 feet away back in 2021. I make sure it passes strict PA inspection every year. I am also retired, and on a fixed, low, Social Security income. I literally am solely responsible for keeping it on the road.@@lolatmyage
It's not even a unique incident. Elvis famously got mad that his car wouldn't start and shot it through the steering wheel (so the opposite order of events, but still).
Know how many times my stepdad blamed me when he brought things in for work? My favorite was when he told the snow blower guys that I was messing with it. They asked me about it when me and mom went to pick it up. We all had a good laugh
I use to hate the idea of State Annual Inspections. After seeing some of these videos, knowing that they are on the roads that I drive, I am not so sure.
French car have it since 1992, The 1st technical inspection must be carried out during the 6 months before the 4th anniversary of the first entry into circulation of the vehicle, then every 2 years. Critical point detected = inspection only valid for 24h, time to head back home, stop driving. "Bad" point detected = inspectation valid for only 2month, time to repair and do the 2nd inspection . If police control you on the road .. you may have a ticket + immobilisation depending of the state of the vehicule :)
I can understand trying to get the last mile out of your car or truck but at least know what your doing and be mechanically inclined. These people obviously don't not even remotely close.
i used to be a mobile lawn mower mechanic for a company so we had this lady bought a brand new scag turf tiger 15,000 dollar top of the line mower. it had the kohler efi fuel injection engine. this was about 8'years ago when kohler was still messing with the efi stuff so people were kinda skeptical about it. anyways. she bought it and it ran flawless for the 1st few weeks then it got to were it was miss fireing and wouldnt hardly run. side note. i went to the kohler schooling on the New (at the time) efi systems. so i went out and took a look brought the computers and all that. so i got there and the thing ran flawlessly i spent alot of time i mowed i moved it very roughly trying to get it to bog down or do something. and it didnt. i hooked my computer up thinking maybe something was wrong i watched the cat temps tps cam crank everything was in spec. nothing outta wack. so i said its under warranty everythings covered as you can see i cant seem to get it to do what you are describing etc... so i left. a 2 weeks go by. its acting up again shes calling furious. i again go out same senario. its flawless. but this time i took better notice of the fuel levels and started asking questions. thats when my brain started going ok lets dig in deeper. the lady said when it ran good it seemed to do very well on fuel and she had only put x amount (which didnt seem like enough) in it to mow all this nice yard/land she had. i asked when the last time she filled it up and she said it was less then 1/4 now and i filled it up this mornings before you got here. and i distinctly recall saying why dont we start some tracking somethings here and i told her to log hours and when she fuels it up for a week or 2 then we can get in touch and change were you get your gas, at that point i was thinking ok she got some bad gas from were she normally went and things. so she did and then 2 weeks and she called again with here numbers and ive logged it and ive got photos and something isnt right. last time i got off it had x amount of hours and was at 1/2ish tank and im about to go mow again and now its full of gas and the same amount of hours... so i went out and pulled a fuel sample and let it sit in a clear jar and come to find out one of here grand daughters who lived there or visited there often or whatever had been taking the garden hose and filling the gas tank up thinking she was helping grandma! Haha Moral of my long story was to never assume anything. always. ALWAYS double triple check and ask the "dumb" questions. why? because they may lead you to the correct answer weather you like it or not. and this people that dont get there stuff fixed. like on suspension or rolling components are idiots. and the ones who dont know the difference in plugs or cant figure out how to use a switxh for a trunk. shouldnt be allowed to drive period. thats also the same person brake checking a semi truck. natural selection.
I introduced my 73 year old mom to this channel over Xmas. She's hooked. She also respects my best friend's wrenching much more now. (To be fair to my best friend, she was raised by a Chrysler mechanic and knows her stuff. She's slowly teaching me, and has helped me fix issues that otherwise would have required a tow. Turns out most of my issues just require smacking.)
Fully with you. Here in Sweden cars must go through mandatory inspections every few years to be allowed on the road. Sadly this being america, people will scream government overreach if such a system a system would be implemented to keep people safe...
Yeah. Some states don't have safety inspections, and my state is considering doing away with them. When I heard that, all I could think of was "the customer declined repairs".
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131The 1911s have, er, like five passive safety features to prevent accidental discharge, apart from the manual safety, which only engages when the pistol is cocked. The type can have a light trigger pull; a good trigger pull is 4-5 pounds.
People can be so entertaining and distressing at the same time. It makes me wonder if these are the people who hold their breath when entering a tunnel.
What I find unbelievable about these videos is how so many people are unable to assess the relative seriousness of any defects; Mechanic; ‘Sir, both your rear wheel bearings have failed, your front brakes are worn down to metal and the your suspension struts are severely rusted to the point of failure’ Customer; ‘Never mind all that, did you figure out why my glovebox won’t open?’
These videos make me feel better when I have to do questionable things on my vehicles. I have a 2000 Saturn and it's always had an issue with the power wire to the relay for the blower motor heating up and causing issues. If it wasn't looked after, the fuse block can begin to melt and warp the plastic, this causes the relay to lose contact with the fuse block and as it gets worse, eventually the relay just stops working. A lot of these early Saturn's had some kind of wiring issue like that. I was able to pull the fuse block out, do some temporary fixing on it so I could at least use the blower, but I was never satisfied with it because I knew it would eventually fail. I finally went out and bypassed the fuse block altogether, I snipped the wires at the back of the fuse block, put on some wire crimps and ran the wires directly to the blower motor. No more bad connections, no more melted plastic, no more having to stop once in a while when my temp fix failed and I lose the blower. The crimps are surrounded with plastic ends so they don't short out against any metal and are super tight against the tabs of the relay (I actually pulled the wire out of one of the crimps because they were holding so securely). What I found humorous is the relay wouldn't engage when I turned it on high, I couldn't figure it out. Wiring diagrams showed a ground, but there was no ground wire at the fuse block, I started wondering why they put a five-pin relay in a four-pin wiring setup. Turns out the fuse block itself is grounded to the car somehow inside and the fifth tab on the relay needed to be grounded. Totally blew my mind! So, yeah, still kind of janky, but not nearly as bad as what I see in these vids...
My Saturn fuse block story is that my low beams stopped working. I spent three hours metering out the entire circuit to find that the fault was inside the plastic of the fuse block. I lacked the tools to proceed further, but I gave my mechanic a write-up of the problem and my suggested solution which worked. Cut out the low beams circuit and swap it to the DRL (daytime running lights) circuit. Which worked fantastically, and I had low beams and high beams on the column, just no more DRLs.
I loved my SW2. It had some quirks, but was overall very reliable. Eventually, it became very difficult to find some kinds of replacement parts so I replaced it. I like to help friends shop for cars, and it was funny to listen to the salesperson blow about how great X car is, then I'd point to my 20 year old station wagon and ask how the devil their product was less fuel efficient or missing features that my old one had. Enjoy your Saturn! Wish they still made them.
I love your show, I am in Australia, so some of these issues we rarely see and some are also very common here too, quite often I thank God I don’t live anywhere near these repair workshops! Do you guys not have any state compliance checks? We only have 5 states and 2 Territories here in Australia and it varies state to state, some states require yearly inspections and if it doesn’t pass they refuse registration unless repaired to their requirements (usually standard, unless engineering certification for modifications) however some states have little or no “official requirements” other than the vehicle be roadworthy! I live in a state where we are not forced to get our vehicles certified but if the police pull you over they can “defect” your car (declare it not roadworthy) there are a few levels to this though, 1. You get told something needs attention, they note it in their system and if you get pulled over again (usually with a few days to undertake repairs.(however this is descretionary and is rare but not unheard of) 2. You are defected and are only allowed to drive your car home or to and from a place of repair, and you take the car to local police station to have it inspected and “defect” removed/lifted. 3. Your car receives a major defect (which is also discretionary) and the car has to be inspected completely, suspension, brakes, emissions, noise levels, rust is not acceptable in any structural areas, most rust is(except surface) is not really tolerated,all safety equipment tyres and all areas of the car must be working and show no signs of wear and tear, So whilst they don’t require inspection if you do something to upset them or are obviously not roadworthy they can make it difficult for you, however if you keep good tyres all lights are functional and for the most part your ok! They do occasionally have times where they target particular issues! But for the most part if your car is reasonably tidy and maintained they leave you alone, but we have to pay registration either every 3 months or yearly and the costs vary depending on the type of vehicle ie:- 4,6,8 cyl diesel or petrol or hybrid, and sedan wagon Ute 4x4 or truck(varies on capacity) well Didn’t mean to write half a book but hope this helps to understand some of the systems we use here in Australia! ✌️☘️👍🙏😎
I think Canada has normal safety inspections, but in the US it is up to each state. Some states require rigorous inspections, some check only a few things (California tests emissions and engine lights) and many US states have no inspection at all. In these comments, you'll see some people rant against government activity of any sort. Sadly, many people here really are like that. They fear safety standards more than motor vehicle deaths.
@@j_taylor Thats a no for canada-wide. I think one province does regular safety inspections, but other than that some Provinces do regular emissions checks, some do nothing other than safety inspections for sale or provincial import on used cars.,
Amazing that people who know nothing about mechanics or electrical systems try to fix modern day cars on their own. I am surprised that some cars can drive away after customer declines repairs. This is a great channel. Thank you
Thank you for running the photo of the old Suzuki at the end, and to whoever submitted it. Is that a '78? I have one just like it* in my driveway. *"Sort of" just like it. Mine's not in that nice of a shape.
I just recommended you to another Tuber! His friend bought a junker with a rusted out frame and he supposedly trusts his mechanic. I told him to fix it with duct tape and spray foam and send us the pictures! My last service went pretty good, but the mechanic forgot to make up the lost coolant, so I had to go back to get it topped off and clear the message! Nothing too serious!
I never realized that learning I am surrounded by rolling deathraps on the road could be so entertaining...! LOL (Also, I find it amazing how many "repairs" consist entirely of turning something on or off with an obvious switch.)
There's more than a few shop owners that would sue the hell out of anyone who says anything negative about their shop/work. I've had work done at one such place. Never again.
Yeah I said in another comment whenever someone comes into a shop stating that "another shop" or "a friend" worked on the car and screwed it up usually it's the customer that brought the car in that tried to fix it themselves because they were too cheap to pay a mechanic and ended up making the situation worse and had to bring it in but didn't want to admit they were the one who broke it the first place
The reason the household electrical wire causes misfires is because the insulation is not rated for high voltage, and as such causes excessive leakage.
a couple of core plugs and a tube of gasket sealant 1.65 + 1.65 + 3.99 = £7.29 a tin of expanding sprayfoam filler = £6.25 total saving = £1.04 a new engine install, parts and labour = priceless
@@mhfuzzball oddly enough my local pound store has bought in tins of teak deck varnish recently, presumably for that boater on a budget. i'd probably draw the line there though. a tube of marine sealant for a pound has got to be up there with the 10 dollar parachute or $100 eye surgery as far as risky bargains go. 😄👍
I've dated many girls to see how dangerous and scary their vehicles are with bald tires, no brakes, running their engines with no oil, complaining that their car runs super hot with no antifreeze, cars rigged to the max to make them run. To think we are driving around these types of cars on the roads. It's bad.
I'm 69. When I was 14 in 1969 and bored to death I bought some tools and me and my friends started working on cars. No Internet then only thing exciting was hot rods and NHRA. Kids no longer have that experience. Now entire generations never held a socket wrench or an adjustable wrench or even a wire cutter. Now cars now are so complex you can't work on them anyway. So you can see the only thing they can come up with is fill it up with spray foam lol. But being handy with tools as a youngster which can also lead into electronics leads to all kinds of employment opportunity's later in life. Dumbbell kids don't have that now. Which is why we see all this insane shit on cars with kids never opening a hood in there life and trying to fix a simple problem.
That's just because you can't keep up mentally. I didn't like what my car was doing. So I launched the app in my phone and adjusted it. Nevermind that your generation drove like a bunch of donuts, and we've the accident statistics to prove it. But you just convenient forget that.
I've driven around and home from a shop after they refused to align my Buick whose rear spring mount had rusted out, but that wasn't exactly as serious as a suspension component that physically keeps the wheel from falling off. I put it out to pasture soon after when I was able to get another vehicle, so at least I'm not a total idiot.
Once a collegue of mine had the 'urge' to fill up his coolant fluid. He had absolutely no reason for that but wanted to make sure he did it right. After he pointed at the brake fluid reservoir and the windshield washer reservoir I opened the coolant reservoir, which didn't need a top up. But I still learned something that day: his Ford Ka II was designed and built by FIAT.
I once had a work car (a rather nice Toyota Cressida) that my predecessor used to top up the radiator with water. I noticed the first time I checked oil and water - back in the 80s it was still normal procedure. The alloy casting over the thermostat had broken and he'd 'fixed' it with silicone sealant. I got the coolant and the casting replaced at the next service but it wasn't long before the engine went. The water had corroded away the metal between the water jacket and one cylinder. One very dead engine, all because my predecessor thought he'd save some money for our employer.
I'm 99% sure that when the costumer states that "an another shop did it" but doesn't wanna say which, probably it did it, probably with some friend, and probably with some beer.🤣
Seeing stuff on this channel is exactly why I swapped careers to something that'd pay more- so I'll NEVER have these types of problems. I was a CNA before, so I made a decent amount but now doing electrician work in industrial complexes, I'm making around 35 an hour before per diem and travel pay. I say this to promote others in this comment section to bite the bullet and decide to get educated in anything, just ensure your future self never has to run into these problems. Your future you will be thanking you!
I remember one time when I was younger this guy brought in a k car for my dad to fix. When my dad told him it had a list of issues incl a bent front wheel he declined repairs drove off. About a half a block away he got pulled over and cited for an unsafe vehicle 🤦♂️😅

It's been through at least four accidents ( two with me , not my fault)and was beat up pretty good by an EF3 tornado that was about 50-75 feet away back in 2021. I make sure it passes strict PA inspection every year. I am also retired, and on a fixed, low, Social Security income. I literally am solely responsible for keeping it on the road.@@lolatmyage

I use to hate the idea of State Annual Inspections. After seeing some of these videos, knowing that they are on the roads that I drive, I am not so sure.
Trust me, you REALLY want mandated inspections. I say that as someone with 35 years of professional driving experience.
French car have it since 1992, The 1st technical inspection must be carried out during the 6 months before the 4th anniversary of the first entry into circulation of the vehicle, then every 2 years. Critical point detected = inspection only valid for 24h, time to head back home, stop driving. "Bad" point detected = inspectation valid for only 2month, time to repair and do the 2nd inspection . If police control you on the road .. you may have a ticket + immobilisation depending of the state of the vehicule :)
I can understand trying to get the last mile out of your car or truck but at least know what your doing and be mechanically inclined. These people obviously don't not even remotely close.
But there's always a shop that will put a sticker on the car for an extra $20 as long as there aren't any CEL codes.
@@WastedTalent- Yes you are going to always have cheaters but the point remains, inspections are a requirement to maintain fitness for use.

"The engine was fortunately not ran, two oil changes were performed, and the engine was saved" EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR, THANK YOU
i used to be a mobile lawn mower mechanic for a company so we had this lady bought a brand new scag turf tiger 15,000 dollar top of the line mower. it had the kohler efi fuel injection engine. this was about 8'years ago when kohler was still
messing with the efi stuff so people were kinda skeptical
about it. anyways. she bought it and it ran flawless for the 1st few weeks then it got to were it was miss fireing and wouldnt hardly run. side note. i went to the kohler schooling on the New (at the time) efi systems.
so i went out and took a look brought the computers and all that. so i got there and the thing ran flawlessly i spent alot of time i mowed i moved it very roughly trying to get it to bog down or do something. and it didnt. i hooked my computer up thinking maybe something was wrong i watched the cat temps tps cam crank everything was in spec. nothing outta wack. so i said its under warranty everythings covered as you can see i cant seem to get it to do what you are describing etc... so i left. a 2 weeks go by. its acting up again shes calling furious. i again go out same senario. its flawless. but this time i took better notice of the fuel levels and started asking questions. thats when my brain started going ok lets dig in deeper. the lady said when it ran good it seemed to do very well on fuel and she had only put x amount (which didnt seem like enough) in it to mow all this nice yard/land she had. i asked when the last time she filled it up and she said it was less then 1/4 now and i filled it up this
mornings before you got here. and i distinctly recall saying why dont we start some tracking somethings here and i told her to log hours and when she fuels it up for a week or 2 then we can get in touch and change were you get your gas, at that point i was thinking ok she got some bad gas from were she normally went and things. so she did and then 2 weeks and she called again with here numbers and ive logged it and ive got photos and something isnt right. last time i got off it had x amount of hours and was at 1/2ish tank and im about to go mow again and now its full of gas and the same amount of hours... so i went out and pulled a fuel sample and let it sit in a clear jar and come to
find out one of here grand daughters who lived there or visited there often or whatever had been taking the garden hose and filling the gas tank up thinking she was helping grandma! Haha
Moral of my long story was to never assume anything. always. ALWAYS double triple check and ask the "dumb" questions. why? because they may lead you to the correct answer weather you like it or not.
and this people that dont get there stuff fixed. like on suspension or rolling components are idiots. and the ones who dont know the difference in plugs or cant figure out how to use a switxh for a trunk. shouldnt be allowed to drive period. thats also the same person brake checking a semi truck. natural selection.
Nice vintage scoots at the end! And you kindly used my 78 Suzuki GS750 photo! That was before I fixed all of its issues with spray foam!
I introduced my 73 year old mom to this channel over Xmas. She's hooked. She also respects my best friend's wrenching much more now. (To be fair to my best friend, she was raised by a Chrysler mechanic and knows her stuff. She's slowly teaching me, and has helped me fix issues that otherwise would have required a tow. Turns out most of my issues just require smacking.)
Ah. The Han Solo School of Fix It.
There should be a law In every state where a customer cannot decline repairs and drive away if it is a safety issue when driving
Fully with you. Here in Sweden cars must go through mandatory inspections every few years to be allowed on the road. Sadly this being america, people will scream government overreach if such a system a system would be implemented to keep people safe...
Agreed. Get it towed away, then that's fine, but driving in cars that are THAT unsafe needs to be stopped for the safety of other road users.
Many states do have that law, but im sure many of these cars are not in those states as those states also have annual safety inspections.
Yeah. Some states don't have safety inspections, and my state is considering doing away with them. When I heard that, all I could think of was "the customer declined repairs".
A lot of shops will call the police who will wait for them to leave and then fine them and impound the car as soon as they leave the parking lot.
It was smart for the first guy to take the car to the service without starting the engine and thus saving his engine

In other words too cheap to fix their vehicles properly.
What I find unbelievable about these videos is how so many people are unable to assess the relative seriousness of any defects;
Mechanic; ‘Sir, both your rear wheel bearings have failed, your front brakes are worn down to metal and the your suspension struts are severely rusted to the point of failure’
Customer; ‘Never mind all that, did you figure out why my glovebox won’t open?’
I mean that one was recall repairs, perhaps they were at a dealer and would rather have it at a different shop for out of pocket repairs
Always a treat to watch Just Rolled In!
After watching so many of your videos I just assume anyone driving near me is in a janky death trap like some of these.
These videos make me feel better when I have to do questionable things on my vehicles.
I have a 2000 Saturn and it's always had an issue with the power wire to the relay for the blower motor heating up and causing issues. If it wasn't looked after, the fuse block can begin to melt and warp the plastic, this causes the relay to lose contact with the fuse block and as it gets worse, eventually the relay just stops working. A lot of these early Saturn's had some kind of wiring issue like that.
I was able to pull the fuse block out, do some temporary fixing on it so I could at least use the blower, but I was never satisfied with it because I knew it would eventually fail. I finally went out and bypassed the fuse block altogether, I snipped the wires at the back of the fuse block, put on some wire crimps and ran the wires directly to the blower motor. No more bad connections, no more melted plastic, no more having to stop once in a while when my temp fix failed and I lose the blower. The crimps are surrounded with plastic ends so they don't short out against any metal and are super tight against the tabs of the relay (I actually pulled the wire out of one of the crimps because they were holding so securely).
What I found humorous is the relay wouldn't engage when I turned it on high, I couldn't figure it out. Wiring diagrams showed a ground, but there was no ground wire at the fuse block, I started wondering why they put a five-pin relay in a four-pin wiring setup. Turns out the fuse block itself is grounded to the car somehow inside and the fifth tab on the relay needed to be grounded. Totally blew my mind!
So, yeah, still kind of janky, but not nearly as bad as what I see in these vids...
put some inline fuses in the harness & call it a day
check for bad ground wires.
My Saturn fuse block story is that my low beams stopped working. I spent three hours metering out the entire circuit to find that the fault was inside the plastic of the fuse block.
I lacked the tools to proceed further, but I gave my mechanic a write-up of the problem and my suggested solution which worked.
Cut out the low beams circuit and swap it to the DRL (daytime running lights) circuit. Which worked fantastically, and I had low beams and high beams on the column, just no more DRLs.
I loved my SW2. It had some quirks, but was overall very reliable.
Eventually, it became very difficult to find some kinds of replacement parts so I replaced it.
I like to help friends shop for cars, and it was funny to listen to the salesperson blow about how great X car is, then I'd point to my 20 year old station wagon and ask how the devil their product was less fuel efficient or missing features that my old one had.
Enjoy your Saturn! Wish they still made them.

Hey man congrats on your wife and recent family. Came from Reddit brew but just wanted to give good blessing
I love your show, I am in Australia, so some of these issues we rarely see and some are also very common here too, quite often I thank God I don’t live anywhere near these repair workshops! Do you guys not have any state compliance checks? We only have 5 states and 2 Territories here in Australia and it varies state to state, some states require yearly inspections and if it doesn’t pass they refuse registration unless repaired to their requirements (usually standard, unless engineering certification for modifications) however some states have little or no “official requirements” other than the vehicle be roadworthy! I live in a state where we are not forced to get our vehicles certified but if the police pull you over they can “defect” your car (declare it not roadworthy) there are a few levels to this though, 1. You get told something needs attention, they note it in their system and if you get pulled over again (usually with a few days to undertake repairs.(however this is descretionary and is rare but not unheard of) 2. You are defected and are only allowed to drive your car home or to and from a place of repair, and you take the car to local police station to have it inspected and “defect” removed/lifted. 3. Your car receives a major defect (which is also discretionary) and the car has to be inspected completely, suspension, brakes, emissions, noise levels, rust is not acceptable in any structural areas, most rust is(except surface) is not really tolerated,all safety equipment tyres and all areas of the car must be working and show no signs of wear and tear, So whilst they don’t require inspection if you do something to upset them or are obviously not roadworthy they can make it difficult for you, however if you keep good tyres all lights are functional and for the most part your ok! They do occasionally have times where they target particular issues! But for the most part if your car is reasonably tidy and maintained they leave you alone, but we have to pay registration either every 3 months or yearly and the costs vary depending on the type of vehicle ie:- 4,6,8 cyl diesel or petrol or hybrid, and sedan wagon Ute 4x4 or truck(varies on capacity) well Didn’t mean to write half a book but hope this helps to understand some of the systems we use here in Australia! ✌️☘️👍🙏😎
I think Canada has normal safety inspections, but in the US it is up to each state. Some states require rigorous inspections, some check only a few things (California tests emissions and engine lights) and many US states have no inspection at all.
In these comments, you'll see some people rant against government activity of any sort. Sadly, many people here really are like that. They fear safety standards more than motor vehicle deaths.
@@j_taylor Thats a no for canada-wide. I think one province does regular safety inspections, but other than that some Provinces do regular emissions checks, some do nothing other than safety inspections for sale or provincial import on used cars.,
Amazing that people who know nothing about mechanics or electrical systems try to fix modern day cars on their own. I am surprised that some cars can drive away after customer declines repairs. This is a great channel. Thank you
Shop: your car is completely falling apart and cannot be driven by any means. Customer: declines repairs and drives away
When will people learn. If it's time to use spray foam on your vehicle, it's time for a new vehicle...haha

I just recommended you to another Tuber! His friend bought a junker with a rusted out frame and he supposedly trusts his mechanic. I told him to fix it with duct tape and spray foam and send us the pictures!
My last service went pretty good, but the mechanic forgot to make up the lost coolant, so I had to go back to get it topped off and clear the message! Nothing too serious!
I never realized that learning I am surrounded by rolling deathraps on the road could be so entertaining...! LOL (Also, I find it amazing how many "repairs" consist entirely of turning something on or off with an obvious switch.)

Yeah I said in another comment whenever someone comes into a shop stating that "another shop" or "a friend" worked on the car and screwed it up usually it's the customer that brought the car in that tried to fix it themselves because they were too cheap to pay a mechanic and ended up making the situation worse and had to bring it in but didn't want to admit they were the one who broke it the first place
We all know its obvious but the "another shop did this" excuse gets me every time lol
The reason the household electrical wire causes misfires is because the insulation is not rated for high voltage, and as such causes excessive leakage.
a couple of core plugs and a tube of gasket sealant 1.65 + 1.65 + 3.99 = £7.29
a tin of expanding sprayfoam filler = £6.25
total saving = £1.04
a new engine install, parts and labour = priceless
And don't forget the marine sealant. Bet they didn't pick that up for a pound.
@@mhfuzzball oddly enough my local pound store has bought in tins of teak deck varnish recently, presumably for that boater on a budget. i'd probably draw the line there though. a tube of marine sealant for a pound has got to be up there with the 10 dollar parachute or $100 eye surgery as far as risky bargains go. 😄👍

I've dated many girls to see how dangerous and scary their vehicles are with bald tires, no brakes, running their engines with no oil, complaining that their car runs super hot with no antifreeze, cars rigged to the max to make them run. To think we are driving around these types of cars on the roads. It's bad.
I'm 69. When I was 14 in 1969 and bored to death I bought some tools and me and my friends started working on cars. No Internet then only thing exciting was hot rods and NHRA. Kids no longer have that experience. Now entire generations never held a socket wrench or an adjustable wrench or even a wire cutter. Now cars now are so complex you can't work on them anyway. So you can see the only thing they can come up with is fill it up with spray foam lol. But being handy with tools as a youngster which can also lead into electronics leads to all kinds of employment opportunity's later in life. Dumbbell kids don't have that now. Which is why we see all this insane shit on cars with kids never opening a hood in there life and trying to fix a simple problem.
Sad how apps like Facebook addicted the kids
That's just because you can't keep up mentally. I didn't like what my car was doing. So I launched the app in my phone and adjusted it.
Nevermind that your generation drove like a bunch of donuts, and we've the accident statistics to prove it. But you just convenient forget that.
I've driven around and home from a shop after they refused to align my Buick whose rear spring mount had rusted out, but that wasn't exactly as serious as a suspension component that physically keeps the wheel from falling off. I put it out to pasture soon after when I was able to get another vehicle, so at least I'm not a total idiot.
My favorite line ever is "the customer declined repairs." My mind gets to fill in the gaps of what happened next.
Once a collegue of mine had the 'urge' to fill up his coolant fluid. He had absolutely no reason for that but wanted to make sure he did it right. After he pointed at the brake fluid reservoir and the windshield washer reservoir I opened the coolant reservoir, which didn't need a top up.
But I still learned something that day: his Ford Ka II was designed and built by FIAT.
congratulations on having twins!

I once had a work car (a rather nice Toyota Cressida) that my predecessor used to top up the radiator with water. I noticed the first time I checked oil and water - back in the 80s it was still normal procedure. The alloy casting over the thermostat had broken and he'd 'fixed' it with silicone sealant. I got the coolant and the casting replaced at the next service but it wasn't long before the engine went. The water had corroded away the metal between the water jacket and one cylinder. One very dead engine, all because my predecessor thought he'd save some money for our employer.
I'm 99% sure that when the costumer states that "an another shop did it" but doesn't wanna say which, probably it did it, probably with some friend, and probably with some beer.🤣
Seeing stuff on this channel is exactly why I swapped careers to something that'd pay more- so I'll NEVER have these types of problems.

I say this to promote others in this comment section to bite the bullet and decide to get educated in anything, just ensure your future self never has to run into these problems. Your future you will be thanking you!
