Nice job James👍. Now you can proudly say you put the sub-frame back in, a two person job, singlehanded.
James what a brave man, I like to tinker but that’s a proper job and a half. Any chance of a Q&A video I’m sure the subscribers must have a load of things to ask mate. Either way, please keep doing what you’re doing as the videos are very informative and I’m learning so much. Thanks!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good effort with the subframe! Should have copper slipped all the bolts to ease tightening and if it needs to be undone in the future. Hopefully the box is a good one 👍🏻
Big thumbs up for taking the time to explain everything and recording it too.
tie rod also known as a track rod end don't forget to have tracking done
Oh aren't you perfect. Sweetie mummy must be proud... Lol
Total respect for carrying out such a monster job on your driveway @The Savage Garage!
I usually do my work in the carpark out side of my house but got a shot of a proper ramp last week to do my diff oil and fuel filter - what a difference working that way - so much easier.
I'm sure you'll end up with a proper garage in the future with lift and you will absolutely love it!
Mate, what are you drinking ... after that you need a pint :)
Gearbox oil, it's always good to step it down from what the book says.
So,
If the book says 75w90 then fill with 75w80.
If the book says 75w80 then fill with "75w"
It makes gear changes so much better especially in the winter/cold.
I have a 5 speed Mondeo mk3 (mtx75 gearbox) and getting into 1st/2nd in the cold was a struggle until I filled with 75w80 (factory fill was 75w90).
@savage garage james wow you dont half work hard well done getting that sub frame back in by your self 👍far play
@CJ Autos, sort this guy a tilt lift.
Wee tip for your track rod end. If it was a nylon nut and tightened once you'd got it off so far set it on fire....melts the nylon out and they work straight off.
For drive shafts and cv joints try a company called J and R cheap and brand new and oem quality juat a heads up :)
Make sure there is a gasket at the bottom of the gearbox where the bolt was missing otherwise the oil will come out
Next time Make up a few carster skates,the type you would use for moving washing machines and fridges around.....made up of ply wood and four caster wheels on each corner....you get different sized wheels for different heights......then just slapp your subframe or gearbox on it and slide in and slide out..also the gearbox can drop on the wood ply less damage....
I learnt something from this video..thank you guys
Great job....nice to be able to know you did it yourself....(well the majority of it) when its all done. At least i feel that way myself...love your content eventhough am in 🇨🇦 and youre in the 🇬🇧
Bit late to the party catching up with this one but well done mate, looking forward to the fiesta tear down videos 👍🏻
You're nearly there James. Looking forward to the test drive.
Good advice on the tie rod ends 👍
Just a half hour job...been there many times myself...good content...
Wow, a lot of work, well done for completing it all!!.
Great Content mate. Making it look easy 👌🏼 keep up the good work! 👊🏼
I do miss my vectra but not the repairs lol good job nearly there now
are they really that bad/?
@@jasonjuggler3457 my father in law had a 2006 vectra for years and he said it was the most reliable car he ever owned. Only thing that ever went wrong was the coil pack
Hi James... Great videos. Would be a great addition if you could give the torque settings on some of the bolts. Just a note for the future. Keep them coming fully enjoy watching.
Another superb video mate well done🦾. I can relate to so much of your content having both Vectra's and Astras and done my fair share of rebuilds and gearbox changes on the drive. oh by the way what Ton rating is your trolly jack? cheers
Hi James, nice job. The only thing I did not like when you pulled the subframe on the concrate... I would have put a blanket under to not to scratch the paint from there in order to save it from the future rust.
its already rusted
In the other vid I already got it in my head to take the bumper out of the vectra, its really easy, to take it out, when Im going to replace the clutch
🤞 for the test drive, good work Savage !
What you call tie rods, are Track Rod Ends, as they control the tracking, and connected to track rods
Enjoyed the content james
Done many gearbox/clutch on the ground...I feel your pain 👍
Did you replace the gearbox drive seal's , When I did mine they leaked after time.
Great job James. No fun doing it on your own.
What's your thoughts on the draper impact gun after using it for a while now? I bought one after I watched your review and I'm honestly super disappointed, doesn't seem to have and power to remove bolts that aren't even that tight.
Should of bought the dewalt. I paid 225 for gun, 4 amh battery and charger and its ace. Use it everyday in the workshop
@@nwhitehand65 those big DeWalt impacts are the dogs. I recently picked one up it's super useful on suspension bolts and other heavy duty stuff. It's the next best thing to an air gun for sure. I recommend them highly!
Bet someone has had that box apart with that bolt missing 🤷♂️
They have taken the plate off the bottom of the new Gearbox to drain the oil before posting
Vauxhall gearboxes make me paranoid. ( VXR owner...lol )
Weird why they wouldn't use the drain plug.
S because there is no drain plug
@@anthonywhite721 "Filled for life" they say. They don't say how short...
Drained mine (Zafira F17 200k) last week, had only 1 liter in it, whilst it supposed to be 1.6 l (without signs of leakage)!
Did you say why your changing the gear box , as the problem seemed to be with the CV joint .. sorry if you did I must have missed it 👍
Didn't see you count the turns off and on on the trackrod ends, did you?
I'm sure he had better things to do. But the lad knows what to do..
@@enlightenednews5265Counting the turns off and on again is day one mechanic school.
Thank you for so much valuable information shared in this 3 videos about gearbox. One quastion I have if you can answer back to me please. Can I use the same procedure to do the clutch on my 2007 vectra 1.9 cdti sri 150bhp? ( accordind to workshop manual, its kind av the same gearbox, just different engine) . Thanks again aniway
Where did you get the driveshaft from James as that Tag is a Pinnacle Tag
Great video bud.
May i suggest a lick of paint on the subframe to cover up the scratch marks on the subframe, would introduce rust in the future. Also some grease remover possibly to remove that oil on the sump, potential buyer could try and haggle for a problem that could not be there. Loving the content you provide on the channel nice to see a channel that not all about hp and body arches. Currently under going a full restoration my self on my own car so i can relate the oem type of builds.
Poor old vauxhall . I got say I love my Volvo
I got to say I like pussy. 😉
hello, last week I bought my first car in the UK, an automatic Vectra 2.2 I am really enjoying it, but on the second day when I went out the lights on the dashboard went out, and it always happens after few miles and suddenly gone, I need to turn the car off and on again. Have you seen any similar problem in Vectra and would you know how to fix this problem? Thank you very much!
Get bottom pinch bolt from Vauxhall bought them many times only few quid.
Rads on these vectras are common my old 1.8 sri one leaked as well
First, looking forward to end product
Why not use the strut brase to hold sub frame?
doing same job as you today can i release them drive shafts from the gearbox its doing my head in what did you use to remove yours ? Drive Shaft Extractor Tool £40.00 forget that lol
That subframe is very rusty.
Aghhh just want moreeeeee
Is there any oil left in the engine?
Hi , what happened with steering column we never seen you connect it
The gearbox plate is missing bolts because thats how you drain the oil out thay have no drain plug might won't to check the gaskets on it befor you fill it up lol
Quick question are bolts standard type or are they the E type bolts that are on the callipers?
Someone had a look in the 2nd hand gearbox. ? Hmmm wonder why on a Vauxhall ?! Hope om wrong after all that work youve done
U SHOULD GET A LITTLE SHOP
HEY HEY BOYYY !
Well done not easy on ur own i would degrease all the engine etc looks very oily
Can I ask what that black thing is in your right ear
A bluetooth earpiece
Robert Mustard earphone
FBI communications device
Cockroach
Your parts supplier is useless having to wait days for parts. A good supplier will get it the same day like mine. Also u should have left the plastic trim off the subframe as it causes corrosion especially as you've no scratched the paint off by dragging it.
Plastic bit protects against rocks and dirt going from the wheel well to the auxiliary belt. Right?
how much does he want for the car ?
Well done, are they any xenon headlights for vectra c ?
Mr will I asked a few vids ago and was told they are halogen projectors
@@1pjodan thanks mate
Could you not of just replaced the CV joint in that drive shaft to fix the knocking?
.
I have no idea how you can wear nice clothes and trainers when working around cars XD, i always get grease and oil marks i can never remove.
looks like a silverlake tag ???
Any chance of a follow great work as always
well done big job. porn music and spannering works for me
