Hi, I'm Mark and have been working on my own cars for about 15 years now. I have now amassed quite a bit of experience , to start sharing some of it, with yourselves. This includes changing spark plugs right through to a head gasket. Whatever comes my way, I hope to share with you. There has been a lot of frustration,blood and euphoria, to get to this point. It's not all been plain sailing, but I saved shed loads of money, doing it. Keep your comments coming and keep them constructive as well. We're always learning!!!!

Your a star mate ...thanks ....
You’re welcome.🙏
Thinking about drilling out the shaft and tapping a thread in it, drill a hole through door handle and bolting it on
Any reason why, you’d probably need thread lock on it, to hold.
I have been to multiple garages and all of them have said my suspension is fine yet i get knocking sounds when turning the wheel, could what you're describing be the issue? i have a video i uploads to shorts that shows the sound it makes if you or anyone is able to have a look i'd appreciate it ruclips.net/user/shortsGqn2FG6aCJU
Check your tie rods and ends, sounds like there’s a bit of give in the steering.
thanks for this it helped test my Meriva B. I have already replaced the clock spring and the horn works tested relay also thats working so looks like i have an isse from the rear of the clock spring to the fuse box.
You may have a CIM unit issue, that’s normally the problem, if it’s working from the fuse box.
Is this from the outside or it cracked also from inside? I mean, are there layers? And you only replace the outside layer that is broken?
It seemed to be cracked all the way through, but there was no leaking. I supposed it’s re-enforced and designed not to shatter. It’s deemed as structural rather than glass window. So it’s deemed as panel repair on your insurance.
Thank you for the answer. I went to the local nissan and they told me they will check the insurance. It needs to replace only the glass part he says. He will call me. He says there will be no problem with rain or any damage from the current crack. It is the same with yours, apart the 2 left and right. And it starts at the same position as yours.
Let me know how you get on. The job is more than replacing the glass, they come as framed assembly, there’s a lot of work replacing them.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 I have also seen something that i thing will be similar. ruclips.net/video/efP4zt8UjYE/видео.html
Right to the point, Thank you for the quick tip. And thanks for not wearing rubber gloves like all them fake pussies on youtube.
Exactly the same clicking on starting. Whats happened. Caught in traffic & had to reverse for a few hundred meters to allow other cars to get through. On doing so steam came though the bonnet & on opening it, the coolant bottle was completely overflowing & spirting all over the place with boiling coolant. Had to leave it hours to cool down. Then completely filled the coolant system back up & it started ok & drove ok for 100miles. The following morning it wouldn't start & the clicking started, also noticed two pin prick holes on the coolant tank, so leaking very slightly. It'll start with a push or on a downhill, but not otherwise...just the clicking sound. Battery is checked & 100% fine. I'm wondering if the connections (battery or starter) have been effected or the live cable from the battery to starter have been effected, with the boiling coolant? I'm now going to clean the battery connections properly & try. The starter, i'm unsure where it is, so i can get to it & do the same? The car has always started first time prior to the coolant all over the place.
I’d check the starter fuse and the relay as the fuse box is right next to the coolant reservoir. The fact that it runs with a push, would suggest everything else is ok. I’d suspect though, somethings popped.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 Today I cleaned & sanded the battery connections, plus swapped the starter relay & still have the same problem. Tomorrow I will swap the starter fuse & see. If still the same I feel the problem will be the connections on the starter itself, have been effected by the amount of coolant that went all over the place. It seems I will have to get under the car engine to locate it & remove/clean the connections. I find it too much of a coincidence that the starter isn't working, as this issue has only started 100miles after the coolant went everywhere on overheating. Do you know which side of the engine the starter is located...or is it in the middle? Thanks for your earlier reply, it's appreciated.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 When you say somethings popped, you mean as in the relay or fuse? Is there anything else that the coolant could have effected while it was spraying all over. It was like a red hot high pressure shower under immense pressure going everywhere. Every bit of the engine & engine bay was completely wet through.
@@keepitreal1547 I had a Quick Look at the set up and the starter and cable is right underneath, you could do with finding out if you’ve got 12 volts at the starter, maybe do a voltage leak test on the cable.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 Thanks so much. I didn't get chance to look today, hopefully tomorrow.
Does yours start arcing without pulling the trigger?
No haven’t had that issue, maybe check your settings, is the trigger stuck on ‘on’.
Awsome idea
@@train4905 glad it helped.👍
Was there no brake fluid coming out from the pipe the first time when u was trying to bleed it? (Before changing)
The seals has gone in it, so there was fluid in it, but no pressure.
Which accent is that? Norfolk or Portsmouth?
I’m from Merseyside, lived in Yorkshire and now live in the Midlands. 😀
It's the bit that's been cut that I can't work out - how to actually get the handle in place before inserting the clip.
@@NH-vt6bs you need to use two hands, one to keep it in place and one to push down. It’s not easy, brute strength.
@drivewaydiyer6504 thanks very much! It's a swine. My thumb is too big to get in between the edges. Perhaps a small piece of wood and a persuasive device might work.
Might be a good shout, let me know how you get on.
The sensor will not warm up with the engine heating up, that the job of the temp sensor in the water jacket, the one you showed measures the ambient air temp entering via the filter from outside.
It was never mentioned it was engine dependent, I think it was explained it was based on incoming air. Which changed slightly due to idle. Not sure where your issue is here.
Where do you get the jump wire from ?
I made it from wire and two spade connectors, soldered them together. If you’re jumping for longer , use protection on it, like a fuse.
how do you manage to make the entire video out of focus
It was a dreadful camera and felt something was better than nothing at the time. Very old video. Hope you got something from it.
Excellent. Thanks
You’re welcome
would this work for reverse filling brakes or not recommended? fitted new gearbox/engine/brakes on corsa c, will be replacing fluid with DOT5.1 so have to flush it all,
I find the brakes bleed great with a pressure bleeder, it’s just the clutch that was a pain.
i have a 2008 Saturn Astra in the US . have the issue with top bumper rusting out . the nuts rusting also .. so dealing with it now .. have the new top bumper mount .. just have to put it on . assemble .. luv my Astra .. cool cars .. mine has 100k miles .. runs drives like new . interior very good shape . its like a new car . luv it . pics . drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hn36AebKzJzs7xJ4l8Ok-nAVM8o_SmqV?usp=drive_link
good video . thanks
@craigbmm4675 I fought with it for ages, the socket definitely made the difference.
In France and blower stopped working. Given me a start point, thank you.
There’s not to much to the circuit. Start from fuses and and get a dvom
Appreciate you responding to every comment. I have an Astra J GTC 1.4T the clutch pedal sticks a bit. It's at 48K miles now. I suspect the CMC is the issue, but before this I want to try to bleed my clutch properly. Let me list down the steps and you could correct me. 1. Get a oil can and fill it with Dot 4. 2. Make sure the oil can expels oil and not air after a few pumps. 3. Connect the hose from the oil can to the bleed nipple. 4. Open the reservoir cap and fill the brake fluid level upto Max in the reservoir ? 5. Fully open the bleed nipple. 6. Pump oil from the oil can while keeping an eye on the reservoir, so it doesn't overflow. 7. If it's going to overflow, take out some brake fluid and keep pumping. 8. Continue till theres no air noise or oil in the can? Sorry, complete noob to cars, trying to learn to service my car without spending a fortune. Could you please help me fix the mistakes? or if you already have a video that's great. Thank you.
That’s exactly what I did and worked fine. Be patient and make sure everything is sealed.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 I tried doing it today but I was not lucky. I removed all the brakefluid from reserviour using a large syringe and left the cap open. Then primed the oil can so no air is there in the pipel. Connected the oil can an opened the nipple. Can't push anything up that nipple. Not sure what went wrong, the nipple assembly is a GM part, hope that's not a 1 way value. IDK.
@PabitraPadhy could be blocked , might be worth cleaning it , does take time. Plenty of fluid in the oil can? Might be a different set up or there’s a leak at the slave. Have you fitted a new clutch aswell?
I've got a pananaa aokobian think thats the name or similar 😂 its good for motorcycle and the body looks identical to yours. Was 40 quid. It can remove the rear axel easy after hammering away for about 5 seconds. The spec is 120nm rear axle. It can remove the engine retaining bolt at 160nm after about 8 seconds. The latter is the tightest bolt. Other bolts with thread lock break away no problem. The most it struggles with is cylinder head covers as i need ro use a 12inch extension and they torque at 80nm. But again it comes away in the end about 12 seconds. I had to grease the anvil first thing as it barely had any lubricant on it. For the bike its been good had it for a year servicing a 650cc.
I’m impressed with it, obviously you wouldn’t want it, if you’re a pro, but for one off wheel removal or lots of engine bay bolts it’s pretty good. I used it the other day for my lawnmower blade bolt and it zipped it off no problem. . Wasn’t much good on the focus suspension bolts, needed the big chap out for that.😀
@@drivewaydiyer6504 definitely not the advertised torque busting stat but I agree they ok for light work. Honestly I'm mildly surprised it's lasted a year. Will it last 2? not taking bets on that
I found 2 ports, one has five pins and one has two.
@@HebboulM yeah the two pin is obd and the 5pin is obd 2.
My strutt mountings are clapping with a slight wobble on turns.
Sounds like they need replacing.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 haha literally

I ended up trying to remove the whole headlight assembly. Didn’t work and I gave up for RUclips!
It’s not the easiest and it seems a lot of models have different access to it. You can take off the bumper which is not too difficult.
Thank you
I hope you got something from it.
Cheers mate. Looks like a great engine bay tool but suspension and bigger jobs ill swerve it!
I used the other day on the lawn mower bolt, worked a treat, great for small jobs.

Hi there, do you know what fitting is required to attach an air hose to the Compressor? Read online that its difficult to find out what fitting goes into the compressor to attach a air hose
I’ll check it out and get back to you.
Thank you for your helpful visual instruction.
You’re welcome.🙏
I got an ac system from a donor car to my 95 civic, fan worked fine when I tested it outside, but now everything is installed it’s not working. When should it start running? When one presses the ac button? Or whenever the compressor is working?
Is the system upto pressure? Has it had all the moister evacuated and refilled?
@@drivewaydiyer6504 here’s what I’ve done. Since I’m a beginner when took down the compressor it lost a lot fluid, so what did did is emptied completely, and put new oil in it. I installed everything, yesterday I tried to recharge it but I think it didn’t work. And that’s why o know the fan isn’t kicking in.
Wheres the low port for vauxhall corsa d is it the same place under air intake box... thanks
Not sure on them, probably. Follow the pipe work round. Should be fairly accessible.
This rubbers are they removable
To be honest, I’ve never tried, I don’t think so.
yes they are and you can change them separately , inside you find a sort of contact spring (which can be oxidized and cause misfiring, a recurring pb at Opel)
Great input Thankyou
Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome 👍
Informative, thanks for the information, it is all greatly appreciated 🤘😎
Cheers, hopefully it gives people a chance of fixing it.👍
Trying to decide between this one or the Dewalt version, have batteries for both and generally prefer Dewalt tools but this looks a handy bit of kit, thanks for the review 👍🏻

Hi there. I have an issue related to my fuel pump relay on Vauxhall 1.6 B. Engine turns over but does not start. When I remove the plastic cover from the relay I can see that it does not engage. Have swapped over the relay and the fuse box, but still does not start. Engine management light stays on. Only starts if I manually hold the metal part of the relay together as to manually engage it. Any ideas? Only possible causes are engine washed (my bad) and I unplugged the switch/plug that goes to the injectors while the engine was running. Drove fine after the engine wash. Only stopped starting after I unplugged the connector going to spark plugs
Well the first thing to check, are you getting spark? You swapped over the fuse box? That would need coding to the ecu. The coil is controlled by the ecu aswell, is there any water damage there or green crusties. Check all the connections that you unplugged for water ingress. Definitely check the ecu. Do a pedal test aswell.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 Hi Thanks for super prompt reply. Sorry bit of a novice - how do I check for spark. Changing the fuse box didnt require any programming. Didnt see any water damage on ecu or any green. Will check connectors tomorrow. What is a pedal test? Last resort is send off my ecu to get it cloned but dont feel too comfortable with that or 100 sure how it works.
@@ishaqfazal1719 to test for spark, pull out the coil, plug the connector back in. Get a test light attach it to ground and hold it close to the coil stem and get someone to crank it. See if there’s any spark
thanks mate!
You’re welcome 👍
Hello I have a 1994 Honda Civic dx , the coolant doesn’t want to go through the hose and I already changed the thermostat and radiator and the fans also doesn’t want to kick in and when I add coolant , I don’t feel the coolant circulating at all
Check for air and possible blockage in the coolant system or water pump failure. Give the pipes a good squeeze . Try flushing the system out. Is there any gasket sealer in there?
@@drivewaydiyer6504 no I don’t
@@drivewaydiyer6504 and my heaters turn on but there is no heat going through the vents
Try flushing both the block and the radiator and make sure it’s bled thoroughly.
How long those batteries are last ?
I think the service date is to change once a year to be safe.
Thank you for this!!
You’re welcome
On my zafira b horn itself works even though it looks as though its been rescued from the titanic i ran a direct 12 volt cable to it and it beeps :) the connections on the horn were just spade conections so looks as though its had a different horn in the past i changed the spade connections as they were rused to hell im only getting 3-4v dc then the horn button on the steering wheeel is pressed the relay is clicking away ok ive tried to short across connections as you have shown in this great clip im getting the same readings back at my multimeter looking at the condition of the wiring itself its very tarnished inside the conductivity will no doubt be poor im guessing this could be the problem ? i might even just run another feed into car dash put a push to make horn button and new wiring via a relay to the existing horn as the wiring loom looks a pain.
When you press the horn, can you see how many volts you’re getting at the fuse box, if you’re getting good voltage there, then there’s obviously a relay issue or a wiring issue. Sounds like the CIM is ok.
Thanks matey 👍🏾
Glad it helped.👍
