Добавлен 13 сен 2006
My name is Oliver and welcome to my channel! My dad used to own a garage, so from a young age, I always helped / get in the way. I used to deal in cars and have always done any maintenance myself where possible. After watching various videos and subscribing to other channels, I thought, why not give it a go myself. As Clarkson would say, "how hard can it be?!"

How good is this small polisher available online?
I've bought a 2005 R53 Mini Cooper S from Copart with the description stating it had an undiagnosed noise from the engine bay. In my previous videos, I have changed various parts and resolved the running issue. Now that the Mini is running well, its time to sort out a few cosmetic things that need attention.

Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4 prop shaft centre bearing replacement. The rear prop shaft centre bearing has become delaminated on my 2012 Land Rover Discovery 4 SDV6. Everyone advises to change the whole prop shaft for a genuine or a GKN replacement as usually the rear UJ is also worn. The rear UJ is fine on mine and it doesn't do many miles each year, so I decided to change just the centre bearin...

Since I purchased my 2000 Land Rover Defender TD5 90 about 3 years ago, there has always been a few cosmetic parts that needed attention.

Although there isn't any issues with the ZF 8HP gearbox on my 2012 Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4) SDV6, I wanted to carry out a bit of preventative maintenance by changing the gearbox oil.

Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4) mirror replacement

Ever since I purchased the Discovery (LR4), the passenger side wing mirror has been broken. It hasn't bothered me too much as I use the Discovery off road and when I initially searched on eBay for a second hand replacement, they were in the region on £150-£200! I then came across a post on a Discovery 4 Facebook page advertising a Disco being broken and it just happened to be in the same colour...

Land Rover Discovery 4 steering wheel removal and re trim
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.Год назад
My Land Rover Discovery 4 SDV6 has covered over 160,000 miles and is showing signs of wear. Marks on the exterior don't bother me as I don't see them from the drivers seat, plus I use my Discovery LR4 off road, so the occasional scratch and dent is inevitable. I look at the steering wheel every time I drive the Disco and have thought many times that it could do with a little refresh! I then hap...

goon on ya mate, but those ramps are too light, I had same, scared me so installed a 2 post hoist you are dead right bout LR Time
@@stuarth43 I usually put some axle stands under as well, just in case!
I’ve fitted 3 valves on 3 different cars and never had any issue. I’ve got Nigel from Rooster racing on friends and family 😂
@@monkeytutz2 the upgraded valve seemed to make a big difference after I fitted it!
Lots of people are saying about the video quality If it records an incident I really couldn’t care about the picture quality I’m not using it to record family occasions 🤣
How many inches are the headlights?

Fixed my 02 R53 too. Pretty cool.
You and the mini did great 👏😎
You did a great job !
Where can i get that one tool for pressure?What is the name of that tool?
@@NikolaNikolic-xo7uf it’s a fuel pressure gauge. I bought it off Amazon in the uk. amzn.eu/d/0gJoqxl8
Is it necessary to pop up wheel house? If dont need to clean inside of wheel house, it looks like just replacing seal.
@@user-zv5oh8vi1g no, shouldn’t need to remove it to just replace the seal. I wanted to give mine a good clean though 👍
@@olliesgarage finally I replaced it. It was piece a cake. Thanks a lot.
I just want to say your videos have helped me with my Mini R53 over here in the US. Thank you for sharing!
@@CodeMonkeyG2011 I’m glad I have helped you! 👍
What year is this Discovery 4? I'm seeing that the 2015 may use R1234 YF refrigerant? I'd like to DIY this if possible.
I have a code for p0108 manifold absolute pressure. Am thinking this could be the issue.
@@alexanderallen898 p0108 refers to the MAP sensor which is on the intake rather than the exhaust.
@@olliesgarage yeah man, have ordered tmap and map sensors which should arrive soon, however a friend of mine had the same codes which were because his cat squashed up and blocked the exhaust. Thinking the same has happened as I have the same symptoms, also that would mean the sensors are working correctly… hopefully it’s an easy ish fix 🤞
@@alexanderallen898 fingers crossed you get it sorted!
Mine is getting done tomorrow but opted for a full GKN swap but it's the wife's daily. Fully agree though for a weekend car the bearing only is the way to go
you could have just give a few turn on the adjusting screw of the old one to get the loose out .. :)
Adjust the starter mechanism so that tickling noice would end. Bend that small metal sheet little outer.
what was your top speed at the ring?
Think I hit about 115mph, but was rather cautious as I didn’t know where the track went! 😂 Need to do a few (hundred!) laps on a simulator before going again
Hello what types of oil does it use in the small plastic tank near the exhaust 2:25
It’s 2 stroke engine oil. It has a separate bottle and mixes in the carburettor rather than having the fuel pre mixed
Not to bad wiring up properly, i found everthing at halfords for a few quid, road legal come on with full beam. .
Excellent video bud. Nice to see it done how I'll have to do it - on ramps. LR Time as good as they are we don't all have the luxury of a pit and 2 post lifts. Thanks for the content
I need this fixed in my car nova Scotia Canada .lr3 v8 SE. Zero high speed stability too much play one inch left and right it feels. Turns into shit wobble. Till I reduce speed to 90 km or 100km hr
About to do this exact job thanks tor doing this video 👌
Don't understand: why do you have to change both cylinders when there is no leakage? The cylinder seals are still intact. Just bleed the system with new fluid as problem might be caused by dirty fluid or/and bubbles?
It was leaking out of the master cylinder, so needed replacing
Love it! More content please Ollie
Lovely Ex-Renvale summer do.
😂👍
Where did you get the pump?
I bought it on eBay
Did you try to replace the fuel regulator on the injectors rail? I'm chasing a similar issue
Years and years ago , in Canada, we had a Austin 1100. Love that car! Anyhow , after melting the accelerator cable twice some said to me “ I bet the ground strap from the engine to the frame is bad.” Yep! After fitted a new cable it started every time. Always when doesn’t start check the grounds.
Another job you could do is the fuel filter under the back seats easy and if its never been done then will surly need doing. Even after 30k miles mine was fully blocked.
I have changed it, good job I did, it was disgusting!
Very helpful thanks
Good to see a car guy in the making. Enjoy these moments!
hi there Did you found the problem at the end? Looks like i have the same issue . Thanks
I ended up changing a few parts and everything I did seemed to improve the car. There are videos on everything that I have done
@@olliesgarage ok thanks. i have this massive metal noise at around 3000rpm. and a very bad hot start. cold al is ok but warm it start very badly.
Hi what is mileage on your mini.Great video very informative. Thanks
Thank you! It clocked up 100900 miles today
Very helpful video, thanks!🙏
Thank goodness for your video, I had a vacuum leak on my r53 and couldn't for the life of me figure out where. This video helped me realize where the leak was at. Thank you so much for this video
Glad I helped! 👍
An original way of changing the gearbox oil.. Thanks for sharing
Great video, thank you
Thank you!
OOOOO - push down on a mating flange onto brickwork - Gosh I felt the pain.
Great to watch, but when you landed the supercharger on the pulley on brick, I thought "OUCH" as that pulley and shaft is all very fragile and needs to be protected at all costs.
Good work 👍, I did it 2 weeks ago.
Fyi your rabbit needs water 👍
The rabbit had unfortunately passed away about 2 weeks before I did the video. I had cleaned and moved the hutch to the garage so it wasn’t a constant reminder for my kids, as it as their first pet. Sold the hutch and now we have a dog. The dog has lots of water!
@olliesgarage cheers for the update. Was only light hearted. Dogs are better pets anyway 👍
@@leed2883 I agree, dog is better! It has tried to dig the rabbit up! 😂🤦♂️
Looks good!
Thanks!
Great vid mate. Just got a Rooster BPV to fit along with new silicone intake and couplers. Weirdly also got a perished cat, so its a good tip taking out and fitting the manifold from the top when I get a new one 👍😊
Glad I can help! It’s tight getting the cat out of the top, there is a couple of heat shields that you need to move slightly, but it’s easy out the top than it is the bottom!!
Great Video! I'm working on my 2003 s Mini, and this has been super helpful! BTW, the "red ring-like part" can be removed by cleaning it with break cleaner and then adding some WD40 lubrication. To RELEASE the thin hose, try to push the "red ring-like part" toward the base. When it's flat, it releases the hose. Try more WD40 while you do this. The lubrication makes the difference. Next step for me is to follow this lead... cheers mates! @hipoman8087⚫ 3mo ago (edited) Did you check the gears. The water pump gears are an issue on occasion.if seals fail bearings can go bad. On RUclips look for Memphis (More boost for R53reduction pulley + broken supercharger fix
Made quick work of that 😎 definitely getting a rooster valve for when I service the charger on mine. Cheers 🍻👍
Lovely vid, can't beat a bit of time out for a blast with the wee man. Glad he liked it, my two love going a spin.... 😎👍
I’m sure it will be the first of many!
Awesome video! Been looking for a decent guide so I can do this myself!
Glad I have helped!!
Crank position sensor o-ring needs replaced
Great video mate, I am off to look at an R53 tomorrow and the supercharger service is top of the list of things i want to do for peace of mind. This is very insightful of all the work required. Did you get to the bottom of your problem?
Thank you! Yes, got it sorted in the end! Biggest difference was made by changing the fuel filter and bypass valve, although the bypass valve seemed fine when I first checked it!
@@olliesgarage that's good to know mate, glad you got it running right 👍
@olliesgarage where is the fuel filter located on these? Was the bypass valve hard to change out?
@@ManTimeT.V. fuel filter is under the back seats mate. There are a few vids on here of how to change it. The bypass valve was easy enough too, you have to remove the throttle body before you can wriggle off the right hand side supercharger horn, which it's attached to
@FistOfTheNEast thanks dude! Good to know!
