Exactly what happens during 95% of the jobs I tackle! Good job!
Top tip whenever your dealing with brakes and clutches, is the press the pedal right down and hold it down with a bar or something and it won't loose fluid
Car throttle and furious driving both released a volvo video today; what a time to be alive :')
I hate five minute jobs.... 3 hours later..... Great little tinkering video Matt, if I knew you needed a Italian flag I could have got one for you tonight!
Where are you (not outside the Italian embassy?) ;-)
Your persistence to get a job done always impresses me.
I had a similar catastrophic slave cylinder failure on a 244 many years ago. 2 bolts holding on the slave cylinder... I feel your circlip pain!
I remember when I was young and my dad always had Volvos, a couple of 740’s and a 940 estates by. On the 940 the slave cylinder failed as we where towing a caravan on our way for our summer holiday spilling the clutch fluid everywhere. Great vid Matt 👍🏻
A great tip for inserting/removing circlips is to use a pair of long nose pliers with the tips grinded to a point. I found it far easier than using an expensive pair of circlip pliers anyway
I feel your pain, I've just replaced the intercooler on my Volvo XC70, that went really well, removing the EGR valve for a clean was a knuckle scraping 2 day nightmare.
Well not only did you say 5 minute job, but you also uttered that tempter of fate "How hard can it be?" Great to see the Volvo fixed though
Doomed from the outset...
A way to stop the fluid poring out is to use cling film over the cap on the main reservoir. Screw down the cap again to secure. Or use one of those clams for flexi pipes.
Great job, Matt. 30 years of use make any 5 minute job a 5 hour job. At least over here with our winters.
Ah yes those 5 minute jobs another excellent video Matt. One thing I forgot to mention about the freelander gearbox issue is when you get the solenoid get yourself a gearbox pan gasket they are originally sealed with RTV and I failed twice trying to seal my gearbox that way so going straight away for the gasket should save you some hassle
Wow that looked a right pain. Well done for persevering with it
Oh I don't know, 21 mins 47 seconds sounds like quite a quick time to change a clutch slave cylinder to me ;)
I want to comment on how identical the setup of that slave cylinder is to that of a mk2 Cortina 1600e, but how would I know that? That's a story in itself! I used to work for a retired car dealer as a Saturday job, who had a number of people over restoring old cars he'd decided to take on. I had my guard up for one of the workers who helped to restore a TR3 by cutting out the wings that were made entirely of filler and replacing that with sheet steel welded over rust and covered with only one inch of filler... But for the Cortina, this guy had done the mechanics. The engine ran but was extremely smokey, the clutch pedal only went down so far and became rock hard, and it wouldn't go into gear with the engine running. After dismantling the slave end, it became apparent that this guy had got the slave to fit by cutting the pushrod short, so the slave bottomed out before the clutch released! 😅 I made a new pushrod out of an old bonnet prop that was lying about, measured the length with the slave cylinder fully depressed (which took a bit of force) and cut to size. Put it in, okay - fitting the circlip back when it was properly set up was more difficult than before, but it worked! And the car drove! Until I could smell burning plastic and realized I'd left the hydraulic hose resting against the exhaust downpipe 🤣
5 mins jobs are everybody's favorite and yours is a fine example. 😁
I admire your persistence. Well done.
“How hard can it be?” Don’t ever say that….😂
I feel your pain - my clutch slave went *twice* within a few years!
Use to moment to clean and cover the clutch bracket hole in copper grease, so the next change would be far easier.
"If, at first, you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer".
Great video again but that looked a complete pain. look forward to the test drive
Lovely Jubbly Matt, it's all about the tools and making sure you have the time if it doesn't all go to plan, Volvo is very clean underneath for its age.
The grage is looking good Matt, I wonder if he'd mind if you dug an inspection pit!
Great to see the Volvo again! Greetings from Sweden
Such a positive man, I love watching your vids.
The Furious barn.
Barn to be wild.
What a difficult job to do hope Matt gets somebody to sponsor him with a lift like the pros have
Never start an "easy job" if you don't have almost 6 hours free 🤣But i think that's a problem we all have
Seeing all that shiny Draper stuff reninds me of my large Draper socket set (They were green back then).
It was pinched. 😢
Had a 1990 740 GLE back in the early 00's, best car I ever owned. So sad now 😭😭😭
You seem to be missing the engine undertray. Not only does this stop general crud from accumulating on/in the lower engine bay, but it also aids fuel economy at speed and ensures correct airflow around the engine thus helping it keep cool.
I didnt know these even had one! The MPG is pretty terrible, wonder if thats partly why
@@furiousdriving Makes little difference unless you do lots of Motorway cruising at speed. Even then minimal.
Those short jobs that take hours often even days for the DIYer or even in the pro-workshop. Can happen with any car.
Think yourself lucky. The Clutch Hydraulic Slave Cylinder on my MG ZT-T 1.8Ts is located INSIDE the Bell Housing. That's German design and engineering for you! Most user/service unfriendly.
Gearbox off job to renew that. Been there done that DIY job twice. Other Rovers and MGs in the family's fleet have their Slave Cylinders sensibly located on the OUTside of the Bell Housing. Far more user friendly from every viewpoint. The Chinese who acquired the MG-Rover IPRs soon after the receivers were called in at Longbridge, in their wisdom when they made the MG6 ( much MG ZT 1.8T DNA there ) they sensibly located the Clutch Hydraulic Slave cylinder on the OUTside of the Bell Housing. No need for Gearbox removal to renew/service that! As with most other UK Rovers and MGs.
Finally, the MG6 is a far better ordinary production car than many would have us believe when they first appeared here. Their much improved version of Rover's 1.8T K-Series is a very reliable Power Unit.
Isn't it a small tray on these? My 960 has one, but again it's tiny, nothing like newer cars with their entire underside covered with plastic.
Oh Matt !, I feel your pain. I now only tackle any work on my car on my first of four days off as I know every one is just a "five minute" job !!.
What a pain in the A**e. Perseverance prevails. Well done.
Well done I was the same when I did the brake pipes on my tvr it took longer than I thought 😳 😅
Love watching you, keeping it real. Also i
Like the bleed nipul 😀
Like your tomcat my 159 is now a winter project the timing belt snapped that is unless anyone wants it so looking forward to the next lot of tomcat vids
I feel for you, our left hand drive Swedish versions have a cable between the pedal and the arm, purely mechanic. I loved the old PV544, that one never failed as it was just rods and levers, no cable rotting or liquid leaks. Only leak was heat, or more accurate cold air rushing into your trouserleg when the pedal shaft opened up a hole underneat the pedal when you pushed it down at -30°C ;)
As a former mechanic: everything that looks simple takes hours is my experience... Great tinkering video Matt!
And never say it'll be easy!!
Did you ever retrieve that spark plug that fell into the Mini?
Content at long last !!!! Great content 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
1:16 Tell me that was the TopGear reference I hope it was
Those elusive 5 minute jobs. That’s good work though and I got the same Gunson easy bleed and Lidl magnetic tool.
10:28 is that a rust hole in the floorpan? It is good to see the Volvo again. 🙂 Out of interest, what's going on with the Rover 420 GSi Tourer?
Even Volvo have discovered that circlips and an interference fit are cheaper than a retaining casting and bolts. Damned accountants get everywhere.
You should be sponsored by the heat extraction tool, it's got you out of so many real life situations..
Its saved days of work, brilliant thing!
So, when you removed the cylinder, the nut stayed on the fluid pipe? Meaning if you're turning that nut and the cylinder is turning with it, you're not actually accomplishing anything? Is that correct?
scared to say nipple in case it gets pulled, the video that is 🙂
Well done, Matt 💪🏻 by the way, one of your cameras makes a horrible background noise
I think the metals may be dissimilar. So overtime have welded themselves. I have found that if possible soak the offending part in Vinegar or in awkward places like you encountered. ( Don’t Laugh) Tomato Sauce, which will stick . Leave overnight. The mild acidic will work much better than commercial products. Also a 50/50 mixture of acetone and Transmission Fluid works wonders as a penetrating fluid for stubborn bolts.
I am surprised you didnt put any copaslip (or similar) in between the components to try and stave off the corrosion issues next time.
What's a nypull?
Never come across those, before.
Something new?
At least it wasn't a concentric slave inside the bell housing 😉😉
Took me back to my 245 days, had the exact same problem and couldn't shift it at all, ended up replacing the inner seal because the bore had ovalled, did it 3 times over a few years never did shift that slave cylinder.
Always know it's going to plan when the hammer comes out, shortly followed by the big hammer!
I enjoyed that far more than you did. My BMW Z3 slave was so easy, two bolts and a simple gravity bleed...
We had a mk1 Audi TT, after sorting a problem with the engine after 4 years sitting in a barn I did a light overhaul, got it mot’d and used it locally until happy all was well. On its first long trip the clutch master cylinder failed, and it was within the bell housing (fantastic design Audi 🙄) cut a long story short I couldn’t get it high enough off ground to remove prop shaft (it was a Quattro) and no garage locally wanted the job. So I had to sell it, so frustrating, so could be worse!
I've never seen such delicate hammer work. You are meant to real force when using a club hammer properly.
theres no room to swing it under a car
Having just started using bulldog bdx I can confirm. It is the shizzle
0:05 If you rent it, they will come... 😁
hahaha!
I have to do the clutch slave on my Freelander 1 soon. I'm dreading it as it's inside the bellhousing and a pretty huge job for a home mechanic. It might not be worth it, which would be a shame as it's a facelift 5 door TD4 Sport with fully working 4WD and only about 105K miles on it. Sometimes, you've just got to make those tough decisions...
Should Have Tried A Seal Kit First Jam The Clutch Fork In The Depressed Position Plop The Piston Refit
For the price of a new one its not worth it, those repairs only work half the time
The only thing on a car I've ever known to take as much time as expected is topping up the washer bottle. Currently, I'm continuously postponing the replacement of a knackered window regulator in my 2004 Range Rover for this very reason...
Land Rover window regs are easy, after the first couple...
Mechanic’s rule of thumb… the components that are most difficult to remove will be located in the most inaccessible areas. Been there…
Love watching your videos Matt. When are we going to see some videos on the red Rover estate.
thats coming soon
Biological soap powder sprinkled on the brake fluid will clean the floor after a few days. Takes a while but the enzymes will eat away at it.
have you tried turning it off and on
Persistence pays off in the end ...
Well done ! - Don't you just hate circlips ! and seized components...
can we see more of the p6 v8 its a shame its just sitting there not being worked on
I love this car love watching your videos your the best mate
Thanks 👍
Something you can do to remove something like that is get the multi grips around it then hit the multi grips with the hammer.
Matt I mentioned this sometime ago using the jack and axle stand is dangerous, both are only taking 1/2 the weight, I've see a car fall using your method. Let the axle stand do it's jod please.
its all well and good spouting about bulldog but where sells the bluddy stuff???
buy it direct
Yes In Those Days My H Plate Broke 240 Slave Cylinder Was Broken So It Looked Like The Slave Was In C Shaped Holder Had To Go To A Breakers Yard And Spend Part Of My Life Removing The Bell Housing And Doing The Same
Just pray you don`t need to do it on the 145 - the slave cylinder is inside the bell housing...!
We had it on a 147, which was the same...took it to an Italian car specialist! Wasnt going to mess with that!
It’s done until you discover that it’s the master cylinder that’s faulty!!!!
I just got lucky with mine, the circlip came out with ease and 2 smacks of a block of wood and lump hammer popped the cylinder out, my 740 is much more rusty than yours too so it's just luck of the draw
There's one obvious tool you missed while the slave cylinder still kind of worked.
The clutch pedal.
only used during bleeding and as the circlip pliers were at home didn't get that far
@@furiousdriving With the circlip removed, operating the clutch would have tried to push the slave cylinder out.
Your Lucky It Never Cost You A Replacement Bell Housing
Air hammer is the best tool those jobs.
7:25 what you haven't got a set of circlip pliers? 🤔
not in the barn
or a brakepipe clamp ?
Lovely job 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
proper nice very nice
Cannot watch this - terrifying watching you with the wrong tools
Which tools he should have used?
You must edit out the swearing, surely? No-one is that calm.
But well done, anyway
Tricky lil fecker 💪🏻
So While Its All Stripped Down Lets Just And Insult To Injury And Replace The Clutch Assembly Kit
I've just bought a V70 😃
G-day from Down Under- Hobart Tasmania. :-) Longtime subber. Great content and love the fact you have a Crack 🙂
Another Tassie Subscriber here. 👍
Thanks, on both counts!
One tap of the Draper screwdriver and it’s out…
Circlips are great if you have the right tools ie circlip pliers 🙄🙄
Have changed many slave clutch slave cylinders on old hillmans and rebuilt them and on Japanese vehicles and they hsve been held on by two bolts on the bell housing very easy but that system on your Volvo strange way of doing it may be desinged for a mechanic to do it but you got ir
If all else fails break out a big hammer. I suppose at least you won’t need to do this again!
I hope not!
You ever going to sell any of your cars 🤔
Should have taken it to a garage
Volvo yeey!
Yay Volvo's forever.
Yipee I'm 3520th.
