@@pasanski Hello, T Cut is a cutting compound (polish with fine grit) Sandy.

@@PocketRocketGarage There’s two opinions on this subject. 1. Give it a flush to clear out all the old sludge/bits. 2. Just change the oil and filter. I have always gone with option 2. If the engines working fine and you change the oil and filter regularly, i would just leave it alone. My dad used to say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” I’ve only ever put an engine flush in, when i’ve had a head gasket go, and the oil was emulsified. Just had a look at your channel. I’m on holiday next week, i’ll have a binge watch from beside the pool 👍 Personally i wouldn’t flush the engine unless you’ve got other problems/symptoms. Hope this helps. Sandy.

@@dozzafranklin It’ll probably be a similar set-up 👍 Just make sure you purchase the correct towbar for your model of car. This vid should give you an idea of what you’re getting yourself into. I’ve got another video on the electrics as well, check out my Picasso Playlist 😉 Sandy.

@@paulheard7309 A long drawn out and boring video 😂 but… hopefully gives an insight of what to expect 👍 It’s a full on job but well worth the cost saving… it’s getting expensive in garages now! All i would say is buy the best quality clutch you can afford, and stay away from luk 😉 I’ve got a C3 Playlist for other jobs that will be similar on the DS 😉 Keep us updated on how you get on! Good luck Sandy.

@ It wasn’t long and boring 😂, I found it fascinating and very helpful just what I need and Ill let you know how I get on 💯, thank god you said stay away from LUK as I was just about to buy one , now I’ll go for a Valeo, thanks again buddy appreciate your effort to share

@@paulheard7309 Have a little search of “fake luk clutches” and “fake brembo” 😉 The job is to big to do twice because of poor parts! Hope all goes well 👍 Sandy.

Ohhh, i’ll have a look. Thanks for the info 👍 Sandy.

Hello, i’m unsure which to look at first. I randomly replaced parts 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂 About as much help as a chocolate tea pot… sorry! Sandy.

@mytube5340 Hope it helps

@mytube5340 Thanks 👍

@@richardthomas5454 Glad the vid helped 👍

@@Beastinsidee I have not got a clue 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sorry i’m of no help 😂 Sandy.

@@RobertMudd Thanks for the positive comment! I hope all goes well with the repair and gets sorted out, as it can be frustrating when trying to fix cars 😡 I’ve no idea on portable diagnostic units as i just use a cheapy generic code reader. Mine just reads and resets codes. Sandy.

@@gilberesrepairs ordered one off ebay yesterday, my problem is it's Chinese, not a trusty source in my opinion

@@RobertMudd Haha, they are all from China 😂 I’m sure it’ll do the job 👍

@@AbdelghaniCHENAFI-l2d Hello. As far as i’m aware, only the diesel has a fuel filter… not the petrol engines 😉 Hope this helps! Sandy.

@@Pimpemans Haha, a copper grease convert 😎 Glad the vids help you out! Nice to keep the old Ka’s on the road 👍 Sandy.

@@tomek2371 Not a problem, hope the vid helps! Should be a similar set up. If my vid gives you a good insight that’s a good start. I’ve got a C3 Playlist on my channel if you want other C3 related jobs 😉 Hope all goes well and report back 👍 Sandy.

@@LilCyp Yep, not many vids of these. Certainly very nice cars and look the part. My son really likes it 😎 I’ve made a Megane Playlist on my channel so all my vids are easy to find 👍 Sandy.

@@דניאלביטון-ת3ר 2.5 hours is an excellent time to do both sides 😎 Was the steering turned when the bolt hit the driveshaft? The driveshaft will move position as the steering is turned 🤔 Well done sir 🥳🥳 you did good! Sandy.

@gilberesrepairs I did turn the steering after disconnect the tie rod from hub but still bolt head hit the cv boot. After install the new lower arm put the bolt from below and 30mm nut at top

@@דניאלביטון-ת3ר Haha… good move just put it back the easiest way 👍 I don’t know if you are aware, i have got a Megane Playlist if you want to watch more vids 😉

@@taurusv29 Hello. Has your car got an electric handbrake?

@gilberesrepairs Hi, yes it does. I believe there might be some procedure to follow to put it in some kind of maintenance mode but I can't find a source that's reliable.

@@taurusv29 Yes, I’m unsure of the procedure to safely keep the handbrake off 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve not touched my son’s rear brakes yet, therefore don’t know myself. Sorry i’m unable to help and good luck! Sandy.

I’ve had this problem before 🤬 I kept trying the central locking and manually operating the internal handle and button repeatedly. I ended up wacking the door in frustration whilst unlocking on the key and it unlocked 🎉 I didn’t lock the car after that until my secondhand new lock turned up. So, in short i managed to fluke unlocking it, whilst beating it 😂😂 Sorry i haven’t got a technical answer for you 😂 Let me know how you get on beating it 🙄 Sandy.

@@AlemannoDigitale Not a problem 👍

@@nigelmitchell351 Thanks for your positive comment 👍 I’ve also responded to your other question 😉 Sandy.

@@JAYPCARS It was a struggle refitting the hub onto the ball joint 😡 I’ll contact you with the pit dimensions 👍

@@דניאלביטון-ת3ר No problem 👍 I found the biggest struggle was putting the hub back on the ball joint 😉 Sandy.

@@frv6610 Nope, no difference 😂 I only changed the gearbox oil because i replaced the clutch 😉 Hope you had a good Crimbo and New Year! Currently working on the C3, so a couple of vids soon. Sandy.

@gilberesrepairs Thank you, Happy New Year.

@@frv6610 👍

@@afterburner94 Definitely renew the oil. Manufacturers (not just Citroen) advertise long servicing schedules, so they can say they are cheap to maintain, but it costs the car owner more in the long run because of premature wear etc… For the cost of the gear oil and a day playing with the car, it’s a no brainer 😉 Definitely a job to plan in this year when the weather gets warmer 👍 Sandy.

@@gilberesrepairs appreciate your experience, expertise and knowledge shared here sir! Thanks a lot for these videos! Happily subscribed to your channel!

@@afterburner94 Thankyou sir 🙏 I’m currently working on my sons C3 before he returns to university after the Christmas break. New vids soon 😉

@@beastuct Hello If you go onto my channel and click on the community tab. I’ve taken some pictures of my sons car, so you can compare. The car is sat on level ground and hasn’t got anything heavy in the boot. Hope this helps. Sandy.

@gilberesrepairs Thank you, I appreciate your effort. In my C3 it's 37.5cm so about the same, but I do remember it was higher before, maybe 39 or more and the suspension was softer. So it appears my mechanic put the correct type of suspension but it's not like the original one.

@@beastuct Maybe your original springs were different. At least you know yours is where it should be 👍 Sandy.

@@bp8339 Thanks for the positive comment and the donation 🙏 I will use the cash for an upcoming garage re-vamp 😎 Santa came to our house with a garage prezzie for me… so your donation will help! I’ll be sure to video and post on here. Thanks again Sandy.

@@markys.homebrewing.on.brewtank Excellent, definitely have a go. Just remember to thoroughly bleed the fuel into the new filter, this should allow for an easy start. Hope all goes well 👍 Sandy.

@@markys.homebrewing.on.brewtank Not a problem, i hope you’ve had some of that home brew over Christmas and New Year 🥳 (just watched your videos) 😎 “Pilgrims” as in Plymouth? Sandy.

@@Gweeper64 Hello, yes they are factory fitted. The car belongs to my in-laws and is one owner… i know the father in-law hasn’t modded the jazz 😂 Their jazz is a high spec model so maybe the discs are because of the spec 🤔 I’ll have a little research and reply here! Hope you have a good new year 🥳 Sandy.

@@joehughes5888 Thanks for the positive comment 👍 Yep, always good to get an idea of the job before taking it on. Be aware of the new bush binding up when doing this job 😉 Sandy.

@@ethangilbert9543 Haha…. Good spot 😂😂😂😂

Hello. If you check out the Arona Playlist on my channel there’s a vid 👍 Hope you’ve had a Good Christmas and enjoy your New Year 🎉 Sandy.

Thanks for the quick reply. All the best for 2025.

@@raydoherty1196 Will do thanks 👍 Probably front brakes and a gearbox oil change for the Arona in the early part of next year 😉 Sandy.

@@271chrissy Thanks for the positive comments! The thermostat/housing is an easy enough job, it’s just one of those frustrating jobs trying to remove the hose clips 🤬 Happy Christmas 🎄 Sandy.

@@gilberesrepairs No probs happy christmas.

@@lordkered I feel your pain 🤯 We used to have a 2005 Megane (skaka dat ass) model. It’s was a 1.5 dci and the fuel filter was in behind the wheel arch cover and a pig to bleed 😡 Enjoy your Christmas 🎄 Sandy.

@@grahamrichards481 Yes, the petrol is totally different 👍 Sandy.

@@oldboydj Thanks 👍 Have a good Christmas 🎄 Sandy.
