  • Smart ForTwo 451 Fitting A New Rear Wheel Cylinder & Bleeding The Brakes - PLUS Dad buys a Proton Saga!?
    I bought ANOTHER Smart Car ... this time a 2011 Smart ForTwo Night Orange edition. One of only 235 ever made!
    Why? Well because my Smart 450 is getting on in its life and the colour ... well I just fell in love with it.
    In this video Dad and I fit a new wheel cylinder to the the NSR and bleed the braking system - its not a massive job - but an important one!

    Get all my bits from car parts in motion. Customer service is the best I've experienced the only part I've had to return was a Napa drop link that had been on for about 10 months but they instantly refunded the last item I had purchased from them and that was 8 pounds more than the drop link.

      I can second that. Bought a few bits and pieces from them for various cars, and they've always been spot on 👌🏻

    I use original parts where possible but in the real world independent garages will use eurocarparts, gsf or other suppliers

    Does it matter if it’s genuine or not as long as it meets safety standards they are not called Stealers for a reason

    • @JonCoupland
      @JonCoupland  6 месяцев назад +2

      Absolutely. It's OEM spec so should do the trick

  • @johnmoruzzi7236
    @johnmoruzzi7236 6 месяцев назад +2

    Apec are ok-ish trade standard brake parts…..
    I bet the original cylinder failed because it was full of manky old fluid that nobody had been able to flush out….

    • @JonCoupland
      @JonCoupland  6 месяцев назад +1

      You are probably right! Feels nicer now with a new part and for the sake of a few £ ... no brainer :)
