This one will be saved thou☺️

@@SvennsCarchannel i had a rover 45 tdi, i thought it was good while i had it but looking back it was 9 years of fixing it,

@@leeyo5494 that’s life with most cars ☺️

🤣

I hope not! But I’m going to fix it no matter what ☺️Thank you for watching 🙏

I have 3 of these cars and all have 10’s 😁

@@SvennsCarchannel strange mine has 2 8mm and 10mm on the top are you sure you are not confusing? also hows the water issue have you seal them already? i finnaly found the last leak, it was from the clutch pedal. do you own a diesel model if not why?

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

I’m not buying another car because of this😄

Yes i believe so ☺️

Thank you 🙏☺️

I dont know if they have a built in resistor but they work very well. Only thing that is annoying is that the cooling fans makes som frequency disturbance sound through the speaker system if you have a little volume on your stereo system. And the light output on the high beams isn’t all that great under dark and wet conditions to be honest. I will make a video of this shortly! I’m very happy with the dipped beam but not the high beams. They seem to work optimally only when they have a lot of snow to reflect on😕

They are☺️

It went rather quickly actually! We hadn’t done it on a BMW before but even as a DIY mechanic on the garage floor it took under an hour. Easier than a MB W211 !

It’s a little bit far to go to get cheap petrol 🙈

​@@SvennsCarchannel😂

Yes it actually is! It har only been started and moved once since 2019 so I think that’s the reason for the noisy tappets.

I don’t recommend using these bulbs. As soon as the road gets wet and dark and snow is melting they are almost useless. It’s like they need light reflecting environments to work properly 😕

@@SvennsCarchannel Oh, that's a bit pants. Do you think it could be down to the wavelength of the light they emitt?

@@SmashingPistons yes that is one factor! I will try the ones I have in my ZTT as I remember those seemed quite a bit better. I will make a video about this so people don’t start running out to buy useless bulbs 🤣

@@SvennsCarchannel Sensible as always. Hope you're having nice, if not, cold weather atm. Do you get MGTFs around there?

@@SmashingPistons I try☺️Yes there are quite a few F and TF’s in Norway. My uncle has a 1996 F in volcano orange (EAC). Great color on a fun car☺️

🙈🤣

Royal Blue ☺️

@@SvennsCarchannel A thing of beauty. 😊

@@timknowles9475 sure is☺️

It is a spectacular sight to behold at night. And the world record ski jump is still here. Thank you 🙏

That I will definitely check the next time I’m there 🙏

Not these ones. I have hid on my MG ZTT which has precisely the same headlight units . Not much difference I’d say. But I have bought a relatively expensive kit with can-bus adapter. But what kind of car do you have?

@@SvennsCarchannel have a Taurus with the stock projectors. Led sucks man I know everyone hyped em up but nothing compares to proper hid in a projector housing. I've bought cheap led and the most expensive. Returned or just threw em all away.

@@kamilthegreat2834 then we don’t share the same experience ☺️

@@SvennsCarchannel it's cool. It's just if I'm going to upgrade I expect an upgrade. Even cheap 35w eBay hid outshine led. Now you get a decent set of 55w ballasts and bulbs now you talkin

So true. A relaxed driver is a safe driver you know ☺️

Thank you🙏☺️

Yes i know! I haven’t got a compression tester at the moment. It had the gasket and belt and water pump done by the previous owner about 6 months before it was taken off the road in 2019. It also had a new turbo shortly after as it failed and started pumping the catalyst and exhaust full of oil. So the catalyst and O2 sensor is likely to be defective. But I will make sure the gasket is actually all right. There is by the way no signs of coolant intrusion in to the cylinders.

Head gasket was done 6 months before it was taken off the road in 2019. But just before it was put away the previous owner took it to vacation from Norway to Denmark where the turbo failed and soaked the catalyst and exhaust with oil. Turbo is replaced but catalyst and o2 sensor is permanently damaged. I have never driven this car and the time it’s running on the video is the only time I’ve seen it running since i bought it. Nothing done since as I don’t have time. Parked up in storage until spring arrives. Then I will get more in to it and start the “restoration”!

@@SvennsCarchannel I was not aware of all these things.I just hope,with a little bit of money,will become roadworthy again,so that you can enjoy it.Have a good night ,Svenn.

Thank you 🙏 It is difficult to secure properly without taking it apart but I managed to place it so it stays relatively securely under the lens without interfering the hight adjustment.

@@SvennsCarchannelThank you for your swift response,Svenn.Does this led conversion make it easier when you drive in snowfall conditions?I'm just curious,cause we don't get to see much snow down here,and I'm thinking on doing this conversion myself.Thank you for your time.

@@CUSTODIAN70 no it doesn’t do much in heavy snow fall. Yellow light is better for contrast in snowfall. Especially high beam. But on wet dark roads it helps very much.

@@SvennsCarchannel Thanks for the input.I wish you well.

Yes that’s fine with me ☺️ There is also a clip of my Škoda Fabia cold start if you can use that too ☺️Thank you by the way🙏

Thank you sir ☺️When I found it brand new I just had to take the opportunity ☺️

Thank you 🙏 It really does help!

I see Huzzly Bear has standard reflectors and then you have to buy kit with D2R bulbs. That’s the only xenon bulb developed for that type of headlamp where the reflector or glass makes the beam pattern . With a D2S bulb you will get totally wrong pattern and not a good light output and you will blind oncoming traffic!

I installed Philips Ultinon Pro 9100 H4 bulbs on my parents' Saab 9-3 (the older generation from 1998 to 2003) and they work great. Excellent beam pattern.

Sometimes the most obvious can be difficult to see 🤣

It wasn’t actually. Sounds like there’s some in there trying to get out though 🤣

Pleasure is all mine🙏I knew there had to be someone that could appreciate this level of detailed recording ☺️Unfortunately the reassembly isn’t that good because I had do literally throw it back together because I had to get out of my flat as quickly as h…. . But I hope that will be useful as well ☺️

🙂I’m definitely one of the 1 in every ten that love the detail. It’s positively therapeutic watching your videos; I appreciate your patient and methodical approach, and especially the emphasis on regular tea breaks 😉 Steve 👍

No i won’t go down that road🙈I will give it a proper service and engine flush and see if it’s just condensation. Head gasket and belt and water pump and it has a new turbocharger the same year it was put in storage. Has only done a few thousand kilometers before storage. The previous owner told me the catalyst was soaked in oil when the turbo failed. So it might be some oil residue in there. If I have to replace the gasket I’m not bothered by that ☺️

@@SvennsCarchannel I didn't think you would for one minute. I've used k seal once in a rover 25 k series, but only out of desperation to get to my work place , it did work well for 40k until I sold it .

@@neilthorpe3914 I did it on my ZTT and it worked fine for 9 months and 21.000 km and since it’s been sat in storage waiting for full restoration sometime in the future ☺️

Exactly 😁

🤣@@SvennsCarchannel

MG 6 and MG7 and ROEWE 750 was never sold here so I’ll buy it from UK.

It certainly does☺️
