Absolute legend! Thank you so, so much! 👊

Nice video. Fancy getting a 1.25 petrol Fiesta and doing some videos on that? 👍

@Shavenuw129 Cheers buddy. I've actually got 2 Fiestas already on the drive. I don't think any more will fit! 🤣

Absolutely Craig. These cars are definitely built to be enjoyed. Obviously, everyone has their preferences for that enjoyment, but I agree that they need to be out and about. My lad and I take our Capri to as many meets as we can, and I know Mike definitely enjoys his Mk2 in the same way! 😁🖤💙

Cheers Chris. Much appreciated buddy. 😎

Cheers buddy. Much appreciated. I will add something that I didn't feature in the video. Before you fit the discs, just give them a spray with break cleaner first and wipe the surfaces. The discs come packaged with a fine film of oil sprayed on them, to stop them rusting in storage. The brake cleaner will get rid of it once it's wiped off. 👍 Keep me posted on how you get on buddy. Thanks again. 👍

Hi mate. I'm afraid I don't. I just worked off of the feel when tightening. Don't get me wrong. It probably would be sensible to use a torque wrench. Hopefully there are forums out there that may be able to give you those numbers. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

@@jimmykneesall Thanks for your soon answer! I just don't have Haynes for the Volvo as I have for the other car I have.

@ulfskorre2386 The good old Haynes manuals. I bet they'd be insanely complicated if they existed for new cars! 🤣

Thank you matey! 😀

Sadly, I couldn't tell you buddy. My mate got it and he no longer has the van either. Just be sure to get the one that has the correct body size for your van, otherwise you'll run into the same problem we did! 🤣

I was! 🤣 Glad I got you featured Dale. There's enough noise in her exhaust to wake the dead! 💀😨

Sadly, Dan no longer owns the car. However, knowing his very ambitious mind, he'd have probably fitted a gearbox from a Boeing 747 if he could! 🤣

Cheers Eamo. I would be so happy seeing you and your missus in the two cars you really want, especially your Capri. 👌 Don't worry. This car deserves all the expletives it gets. It's a 2009 model. One of the early Mk7's, with no nice extras inside and lots of brown metal outside. It's horrid. 🤣

@@jimmykneesall Haha Love it and your content. Please say hello to your wifey. Better than mine , no way mine would let me be so CAR focused, Take her out on a date night !

They are a god-send, aren't they? I'd have never got this job done myself if I didn't buy one. Absolutely superb tool. Well worth the money. 👌

HaHa. Cheers Will. Glad you're enjoying them. Yes. An absolute pig just to change one part. Far too much nonsense in the way on new cars. 🤣

...ice one? 🤣

Cheers Dunk. Yeah, I soon figured out that I was reading the numbers the wrong way round. I figured I had a good effort at it, given it was my first time tackling such a job. 🤣

Cheers Jason. It was a cracking car mate, and Will was really cool to chat to. We definitely had fun! 😁

It's a fab car mate. I love the mods on it already and I know Will has some more great plans for it in the future too.

Yea went for a drive with some mates :)

@@TheClassicMiniHub I thought it was. Coolest car there 😎

@@simonhenson358 thanks 👍

My first car I owned was a Mini, as mentioned in the video. It certainly gave me some great memories. They give everyone great memories though, don't they? Glad you're enjoying this spin on our content mate. You know I'd be more than happy to feature a Capri or two! 😁

Do you mean why the knocking began in the first place, or what the car was like after the repair? For the former, I can only think that the strut was damaged as a result of general wear and tear from going over bumps. Can't see it being anything else. Certainly not crash damage. For the latter, absolutely spot-on. The car drove like a dream. We no longer have it any more, but it was still handling speed humps with ease up to that point. Hope that helps.

I don't know what you're talking about! 🤣🤣 Thanks for popping by and showcasing the car buddy. It brought back lots of awesome memories for me. I had a blast. I'm glad you enjoyed the video too. 😎

Thanks Dunk. I think it's safe to say that most "car" people have experienced the brilliance of the classic Mini, and they.probably say the same as you have. I certainly enjoyed then one I had too.

No problem buddy. A great end to a fab day out. Glad you enjoyed the videos. 👍

I was thinking that the caliper was fine, given that I could compress the piston without any issues. Is what you're saying a factor of why I had uneven wear across that inside pad?

@ - it is simply not normal that the inside pad would not be in full contact with the disc face, so to have just the inner part of the disc/pad delivering correct braking is very odd indeed. And it's the piston side of the caliper, so perhaps there was something not fitted correctly long ago, or something trapped between pad and disc.

@a310man That makes sense. Probably incorrectly fitted before. The piston seemed to depress without a problem. Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated.

There were indeed a few that day. 😁

Hope so buddy. Reggie and I tend to get out and about in the Crappy. We do like the Squires Ford events. If you happen to be there, feel free to pop over and say hello! 👋

Thanks Pete. Glad you're enjoying it. Plenty more on the way! 😁

Cheers Stephen. Much appreciated. Ironically, I didn't know at the time that I might have gotten away with just replacing the rounded stud. I didn't know they were removable! 🤦‍♂️ Still, I was happy with the result in the end. Cheers buddy. 👍

No problem buddy. Thank you for your kind words. 👊

I love the fact that our videos seem to activate the floodgates for your memories Eamo. To have that Capri and that Sierra in those colours so close to one another at the same venue, and they so-happen to be identical to one of our followers whose living in the US, who just so happened to live and work not far from where we live - Extraordinary mate. So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for continuing to support us. Part 3 coming this Sunday! 😎

@@jimmykneesall Just overcome by seeing these two Fords of mine back in day mate one car away. A then 'starter' Cap[ri 1.6L still in its original S reg, Aug 1977 - July 78 ! in Daytona Yellow /Black vinyl roof. WHO the heck keeps this ? Someone did and he is my brother !

@eamo106 👊

@@jimmykneesall talking about the same thing too often, I will shut up !

@@jimmykneesall I'll be quiet.

Cheers Geoff. Yeah, he did. We both did. Squires always puts on a good show. Part 3 coming this Sunday! 😁

This year's event, or 2023's?

Very fitting for the meet though, eh? Better than a bunch of Teslas! 🤣

Cheers Keef! Will do indeed matey! 😀

HaHa! Not to worry matey. Which one was yours again? What time do you appear on the video? 😀

@@jimmykneesall11.40 the black escort cosworth , is that where you stand in all the other vids mate

@@c111prs Ah! Very nice moor indeed buddy! Yeah, we tend to base ourselves there to start with to capture the arrivals. We've done a few videos from there now, including a couple of the Japanese car meets.

@@jimmykneesall good little spot that mate, I gave it the beans 🫘 under the bridge lol 😂 hopefully 🤞 see you next time pal

@@c111prs Hopefully we can make the next one buddy. 👍

I love your stories Eamo. Always full of fantastic memories. I'm so pleased that this episode has brought them back for you. Sounds like you had a lucky escape with the blowout though! 😲 Reggie and I definitely picked a superb spot. We got traffic from both northbound and southbound carriageways meeting together. Definitely helped with the road closure at the other side of the venue too! 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your continued support. Part 2 coming next week! 👍😎

@@jimmykneesall Absolutely waiting on the next post Mate. I would love to be 20 now and have a Focus to work on, with all the kit they have available to them and knowledge. In my days it was just Halfords so I found a 2.0s scrapyard engine and put it into my 1.6 gearbox, added 4 ex track racing tyres. It was great for a month till I raced an RS Ford on the M1 (BANG !!!!) piston through the motor. I then bought a 1600 engine and sold it before going overseas ... In 1985 we had no internet or training or education on mechanics so we just did ,,,, it usually came out bad !

@@eamo106 I have a lot of appreciation for the modern car, but I can never see myself owning one. I just like being able to fix what I can myself on them, something that gets harder to do with newer vehicles. The idea of just swapping out an engine for a scrapyard replacement is very appealing, although I've had to go that far yet! 🤣

@@jimmykneesall In my era Jimmy we worked odd jobs for money for cars, then to the salvage yards for parts at 1/5th of the cost of new. As Georgie Best may have said, I spent all my money on cars, the rest I wasted on girlfriends.

@@eamo106 🤣

Very good Sean. I might need to take a GANDER at your joke book! 🤣🦅

Cheers Kev. Much appreciated. 🤙

Cheers Adam. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah. That guy who moved the sign for us was very helpful and considerate. 😁

@@jimmykneesall sure did hyped to see what other epic shots you got from the show 👌 what a gem they are 👌

@@adamkerr1980 Thank you mate. Yep. Plenty more to come in the next 2 parts. 😉🤙

Thank you Steve. We had a blast and Reggie's smiles say it all. ❤

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Yeah, it's in the queue. I would have done those first (there will be two 😉), but I've had so many people asking me about uploading the Squires videos, I decided to break the trend on this occasion! 🤣 They will be up very soon buddy. 🤙

Thank you so much Pete. 🤙

It's a fair challenge John. Sadly, we no longer own the car, so I can't feed back on whether or not it's still intact. What I can say say is that it passed its subsequent MOT with it fitted and it was still holding up very well for the time we still had it before it was sold on. I guess it's one of those repairs that you could do if you didn't have all the required kit available to fit a a complete one, as was in my case. I can assure you though that there were no so-called fudged repairs. 😁

😂😂😂😂 Been for new buyer fix only wahh

@michalk5697 o k 🤔

Cheers Chris. Much appreciated. 🤙

That sucks Harry. Could it possibly be that you have some sort of leak in the system that's allowing air to be drawn in each time you depress the clutch pedal? I assume the clutch is hydraulically-operated rather than cable-operated? I'm not too sure myself. 😬

Cheers Eamo. Perhaps when our RUclips channel properly blows up, Reggie and myself will have our own full-blown garage to work on our rusty bangers! 🤣 That induction heater is definitely a winner. It certainly got me out of a pickle. 👌

@@jimmykneesall I spent miserable months with Simon in the winter, repairing my Capri II and his Pontiac Firebird. As I say all nuts and bolts came off as we had oil/wax undercoats. You were dealing with rust !

@@eamo106 Yeah, plenty of it! 🤣

@@jimmykneesall Keep at it Jimmy !

Cheers Will. Injuries and swear words form part of the amateur mechanic's toolbox don't they? 🤣 Mate, that induction heater is a life-saver. You're more than welcome to try it out on yours. 👍

@@jimmykneesall i dont think ive done a job with out some form on injury an swears 🤣 Thanks i'll let you know if i need to remove a stubborn bolt!

@@TheClassicMiniHub No problem buddy.

Cheers Dunk. Yeah, it ain't a pretty car by any stretch of the imagination! 🤣 There's gonna be some more jobs for it coming up, unexpectedly as always! 🤣

Cheers mate. I had a feeling you'd appreciate this particular episode! 😁👌

It is indeed. 👌👌
