Great video keep it up, I note people have commented on plus gas, heat, less power appropriately etc , now you have a garage and driveway I trust you will ditch the workmate bench for a nice newly built one.
Enjoying the presentation.
2 urgent upgrades Mapp gas gun and some wire wheels for that angle grinder, and just a little hint from a spanner spinner. "There IS such a thing as too much power, and that nut spinner is way too much power!"
There's no such thing as too much power (torque), there's only inferior materials. 😅
Just done mine. Thanks for your vids . Those and the workshop manual made life a lot easier. I have an Allan(Shearer)as well. Not much use on a rust bucket.
Another great, informative video. Keep up the great work.
i have been following your refurb. its very interesting. i look forward to see how how remove all your broken bolts.
Yes, me too! 😆
Hi rebuilding a mg tf right now love the videos Lee
Estos coches los amas ❤️
O estos coches lo odias 💔
Suerte 👍 buen trabajo
Gracias
These videos are amazing - keep up the great work!
Love it, keep it up!
just about to buy a tf tomorrow for 1k. You almost scaring me off it. lol
Lee...not to make you jealous... but i removed every bolt on my 96 F subframe, without rounding, snapping or even having to cut them off... and I didn't need my impact wrench or any heat !!!
....thats made me jealous!! Lol 😆! It just goes to show if a car is looked after it can last and be easier to work with!
Hi Lee - great video, up to your usual standard! The two brake caliper bolts are 15mm - I rounded one, and you helped me sort it out, when you introduced me to "Irwin".
I just LOVE that Milwaukee Impact Wrench - SOMEDAY, I'll have one!
Ahh cheers!! Its awesome but can cause just as many problems as it solves sometimes!!!! 😆
hello we have to lower the front cradle to replace the triangles thank you
Mate wire brush and lube stuff before you undo...and that power wrench is great but way too powerful for old bolts
Thanks for the great videos. Currently on the same job and have it stripped down.
Any vid coming of you rebuilding and refitting or the bodywork?
Shame you don’t have one of you dropping the rear subframe as looking to do that next year.
Thanks Mark. Yes got plenty of rust to sort out so will be doing some vids on that at some point. There may be an engine swap on the cards in the future and will need to have the rear subframe out for that 👍🚘
you need to use plusgas.. not WD40... makes a huge difference. Also invest in a source of heat !!!
Help fellow MGTFers, my 04 VVC is appearing to loose coolant, rad changed, head tank and cap changed, head gasket inc skim bolts and oil ladder changed. My thoughts are that I have a split in a pipe somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.
Pressurise the cooking system and see where coolant is escaping: th-cam.com/video/K5p-G3UDi-A/w-d-xo.html
Hi I know it’s a bit late but the plastic thermostat house can crack that goes into the engine just above the water pump
bonjour pouvez vous me donner la marche a suivre pour remplir le circuit de refroidissement après changement des tuyaux sous chassis
hello can you give me the procedure to follow to fill the cooling circuit after changing the pipes under chassis thank you
Buy a gas torch if you want to make things a little easier, they cost little and are worth their weight in gold.
Another great video , looks like wd40 isn't that good , sure I seen people using something else for easing but removal
plus gas
