Glad you posted this one. Shows where many of us have been from time to time on a technically simple job. My problem is old age as the slightest whack gives a monumental bruise. But oldies still keep going past eighty. Your musings down the shed really make my day; I look forward to every gem. Thank you for posting, much appreciate your efforts.
delighted to entertain you. My struggle sometimes is to keep the content entertaining without losing my core values and intentions
The joy of old cars. :D
Rather have a 100 broken old cars than one new car and the main dealer experience. Been there are done that
Dear Richard i feel sorry for you but that happens to the best of us😅
Richard, 10\10 for entertainment value.
my pleasure. I should release the out takes from this episode
Sorry you had a bad week on this car but highly amusing to watch. Keep up the great work, including your help with the final push on my 1971 P6 V8 restoration!
Thank you sir
Hi Richard
Your having a bad day because of people that don't care about there
Car, or they don't no what there doing
And saving every penny.
Keep the video's coming there interesting.
The car got lucky with the previous owner who saved it from further cack handed bodgery and the current owner who trusted in me to get it sorted
Yes Richard you have had one rotten week you have my sympathies it always the same with types of jobs, the corrosion on those brakes was absolutely horrendous how the hell that got through its last MOT is a complete mystery, thanks again for an other great video.
RR MoT test cannot be done on a rolling road because of the viscous centre differential. therefore they may not have noticed the lack of activity from the back axle. The owner did tell me after I found the issues that it did feel like the back end was "bouncing" under braking situations.
Into every life a little rain will pour. 😂 Oh dear!!
but without those occasional down days you would never appreciate life
@@churchhouseclassics Or the days when things go okay.
This must rank near the top of an “Epic” totally bollocks week. I feel your pain. We had a saying “If you can’t take a joke don’t go to sea” . It’s just so bad you have to laugh. That aftermarket Y pipe won’t last long. My one lasted about 1000 miles before it started to rattle. It was broken in properly too. I gave up on the locking tabs for the exhaust manifold bolts and went with the way my D2 V8 was set up. Longer bolts and barrels. No issues since. Good luck with the scar tissue collection. 🤣
this week was a Doozy compared to many others.
Sad to see so much hopeless workmanship - but CHC will make it right! Those rear brakes came out great! Onwards and upwards. Cheers
This car can only get better
Hi Richard, I don't know how you do it. You're a star! You'll have to work on my range rover one day
If a chap never had a bad day then he might not enjoy the many good days
My sympathy to you, i would've had things flying through the workshop! You have the patience off angel's, but maybe not the vocabulary? 😂 keep up the good work!
I am wary of the triggers for the spanner bounce and stop some way short of getting there. if I cannot do anything else in the workshop then I will close the door and retire to the friendly local for a pint.
Further comment on the possible oil burning issue.when I bought a Skoda fabia it was burning oil at the rate of 1 litre per 100km.their was no smoke belching out of the exhaust but engine was knackered.engine replaced along with new exhaust manifold and cat plus oxygen sensors. The cat was clogged with soot and when the new one was fitted the back box baffles started rattling because of the increased flow of exhaust gases.
The engine seems fine, the customer tells me that his LPG chap confirmed the RH lambda was fully functional. I am reserving judgement on that. I cannot see how that much carbon could have built up from one bank alone
good luck on the Manifold bolts. Looks like you'll need it.
they were a piece of cake, I was somewhat surprised
Threadlock on caliper bolts. OUCH!
they should have a dab of threadlock, just not as much as there was. heat usually softens it up but the excess and poor quality bolt head made this a swine of a job
Just a comment hoping it will help you with the algorithm.
thank you
A lovely bollocks episode, love it.
Hopefully you didn’t have to pull the exhaust manifold like I had to when the studs snapped off at the connection to the Y pipe flange. 🤦🏻♂️🍻
newer exhaust systems seem to have two yokes either side of the y-pipe to centre silencer that accept a pair of the cheapest coach bolts and seal just fine
With that amount of carbon in the exhaust down pipes it must be burning oil I would have thought.
Once the manifolds are off you will get a better idea.I hope the standard of maintenance on the car wasn't while it was attached to the Royal household.
As for the fore finger,mine is throbbing in sympathy.
