It’s insane how far your channel has come over the past few years-probably my favorite automotive channel on RUclips. You’ve even inspired me to start working on my own car again.

    Late L322's are good cars. We've the twin-turbo 4.4 diesel V8 (Ford engine) here in Spain, with the ZF 8-speed gearbox with the rotary dial - very brisk and easily achieves 35 mpg. The sunroof can 'drop' and if you don't notice it, it will leak - holding the button in the 'closed' position for liKe 15 seconds resets it. Normally happens after the battery has been removed for a while. Nice vid!

    So many shops today just want to replace rotors, often with aftermarket rotors that may not be of the same quality as OEM. I often ask for the rotors to be turned rather than replaced when I take my vehicles in for brake work. Now I do realize there is a minimum thickness they have to be and can't be turned too many times.

    I worked in auto parts in my teens (late 1970s), and I learned how to turn drums and rotors (on an Aamco brake lathe). The man who owned the auto parts stores where I worked (he and his wife owned three stores) was a machinist who taught me how to properly use the machines, and I have turned many, many drums and rotors over the years. This was like a blast from the past for me! I also learned how to make hydraulic hoses (we had many local farmers as customers), fill and charge batteries (back then, automotive batteries were shipped to the stores dry-- only to be filled with battery acid and activated when the customer purchased one), and how to rebuild starters and alternators. We had no computers to look up parts; we had catalog racks which required frequent replacement of catalogs and price sheets to stay current. This meant that if the power went out, we only needed a flashlight to look up and sell parts, which was handy when Hurricane Frederick hit! I sure miss the "good old days" at Rudy's Automotive Supply in Fairhope, Alabama, Bayside Auto Parts in Daphne, Alabama, and Baldwin Auto Parts in Spanish Fort, Alabama... all gone, but not forgotten!

    Love to see the actual processes being done. One issue I have with my 2017 Honda Pilot, which I purchased new, was the front rotors became warped very quickly. I don't break hard or for long periods but I was pulling about 1,600lbs trailer through the Colorado mountains but was careful not to cause brake fade due to prolonged or hard braking. I am thinking of replacing the rotors with drilled and slotted rotors to assist in cooling when I change my pads. I realize this type of rotor wears the pads more readily but pads are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace. I just irks me auto manufacturers use materials that just barely do the job and the Pilot is rated to easily pull this much weight. Enjoy the channel and the myriad variety of vehicles you repair.

A year later and it's still excellent. Headliners can take a few days, depending on how easy it is to strip and readhesive (especially the roof curvature). BUT NOT WEEKS! LOL

    PRO TIP: if you mount a rotor to your lathe and it appears to be warped. Stop the leave rotate the rotor 180° and remount it. If the warp is in the same position on the rotor you know the rotor is truly warped. If the warp changes position then you know your setup was incorrect.

    Always educational, CW :) Back in the day, The disc was put on to the machine shaft. Centering by taper hubs, could be verified, by rotating the disc on the machine shaft by hand? Touch the cutter or mag base dial gauge near the disc hub?
    Then slowly wind the cutter outwards, rotating the disc by hand? Just to feel for highs? Then wind back in, start the cut? Good idea to keep the revs a bit slow, to compensate for increased linear speed, feeding towards the outer?
    A bloke started the cut, left it in auto & went away. The sound went a bit hard. Other mechanics in the shop heard it & started yelling at him, With That Sound :) Poor bloke, rushed back; Wind off the cut, Re-start. The foreman walked past, Didn't say anything, Just looked over the machine & set-up. Unspoken, final warning.

    In my experience every time I turned any rotor, 5 or 7 thousand miles later the vibration came back. If the metal gets a hot spot or fatigued in any place, the rotor will warp again once under load. A total waste of time and labor , replace the rotors and forget it !

Really have learned more a bout Land Rovers watching you- have thought to buy one, but now I know a bit more; late model, after BMW engine years, from hot dry country with the headliner hanging down; that list could lead me to something I can fix and can afford!

    Wizard, back when I was a GM Service Advisor, I used to document my R.O.'s as Resurfaced Rotors To Parallel Specs. People often state (not you Wizard) that their rotors were "out of round", which is impossible. The rotor faces become "out of parallel" with one another. It's nice to see that you've got this nice & fine machine in your shop. Maybe next, Ranger (Bendpack), could hook up with a nice & fine wheel balancing machine for your shop. You've really got it going on in your shop. I love the videos that you do & look forward to watching them for a long time to come. Keep up the great work buddy !!!

      @randyneugent 3 года назад

      @@philtowle4683 No, the mounting surface has nothing to do with this issue. The brake rotor's sides are out of parallel with one another...they are warped from heat. Resurfacing of the rotors corrects this. Symptoms of this issue is typically a pulsing brake pedal and/or shaking of steering wheel during the braking process. If the rear brake rotors/drums are bad, you feel it in the seat of the vehicle. Bear in mind that cross-drilled / slotted brake rotors cannot be resurfaced because brake lathe will dig into those holes. LOL...it would be a freaking mess...bigtime !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
