She is a x for a reason,she won't stop relying on you if you keep getting her out the crap,I understand doing everything for your child but don't let some take advantage of you...
Maybe and then maybe not did he cheat on her we don't know the full story
@21:00 Why don't you use the end of the Jack handle to turn the pressure release screw to let the jack down instead of struggling with pliers.😊
That's a lot of work that I presume was labour free, you're a good dad is all I'll say
Thanks Blake! We are still on good terms and still technically married. Although it’s been tough I’ll never stop helping out where I can.
Just a small comment you're not a good dad you're an amazing dad and you make sure the mother of your kids is safe to take care or them regardless of your situation and how you ended up there you still make sure your kids are safe
I totally understand the situation I'm still married as well and will do everything that I can to make sure my kids are safe and their mum especially because if she is not safe then I've done something wrong and my kids not might not be safe.
As I said before you are an amazing dad and don't let anyone say anything different@@TheSelfEmployedSpannerMonkey
Green gunk is congealed screen wash..... had it myself when i was too generous with the screen wash, so now i use it sparingly 🤗👍🇮🇪
It comes down to the individual tester “mot testers discretion” so you could pass it, I could advise it and someone else could fail it and that’s where arseache for us starts. I’ve taken mine and a mates to the same place for about 5/6 years never had no issues for picky stuff. Last year I got advisory for tinted windows on the front, the mates didn’t, this year I didn’t get it but got it for rear high stop lamp not working even though it’s never worked and the bulb holder has snapped off the lens so there’s nowhere for a bulb mates wasn’t working either and failed on it, took his back for a retest and someone else did it and said I ain’t bothered about that one and his also failed on a sun strip that’s been on for 4 years so had to pull that off even though he’s got a sun visor as well which comes down to the same point but that’s only been on about 2 year that so it’s just stupid and a pain in the arse how it’s all different for the same thing depending on the person
2/3rd of diameter as a rule left for pipes
That front wishbone bush shouldn't have been tightened until the weight of the vehicle was on the ground, you've tightened it in the fully relaxed position so the metal insert can't move when the weight of the vehicle is back on it so the rubber is always going to be under tension so give it 12 months and it will separate from the metal insert.
Back bush will be hanging out it in 12 months front bushes never go on transits
I was thinking the same it's a pain to do most of the time but it's important
Them captive nuts are a fricking nightmare on the control arms 😭
The God's were smiling on you doing that rear control arm bolt 😂 everyone I've done has always seized itself to the inner part of the bush.
Or the captive nut spins and fucks the job right up 😂
Personally I wouldn’t have bothered with the brake pipe and lower arm bush would have been an advise as I was told on MOT training that the suspension bush has a bolt going through it and it would have to be pretty bad to fail and fall out but at the end of the day it’s down to the tester. 👍
When auditors start sniffing around the place testers usually over compensate for a while till things quiten down
Modern washer fluids clog the motor so what I do is cut the pipe to the washer jets, then I have adapter which I can plug into the pipe that goes to the pump motor, then I put water hose on and reverse flush,when clear I put an inline adapter to reconnect the pipes and jobs a gud un,works every time
Should of welded the nut before you boxed it back in for future changes
Damn it! 🤦♂️😂
Them power steering pipes are the bane of my life I had a mk7 Transit with the same engine and was sat in B&Q car park I fired the van up and bang no power steering and oil all over the floor and up the side of all the cars around me turned out that pipe is only held into its big nut with a wire spring C clip and towards where it is joined to the flexible pipe where it has a 10mm bolt going through it's support bracket, so not only did it cost me a new pipe it also cost me a new power steering pump because I had to drive 10 miles home with no fluid in the system so it knackered the pump up because it ran dry then i alsi had to buy the pathetic green power steering fluid it called for on that system and not the normal transmission fluid other cars can use which i had loads of.
do these bottom arms regular. the inner bush seizes on the bolt. cut the ring of the arm and peel the arm out the way.slice the exposed bush vertically and chisel it off. bit of a faf but get brutal with it and they get to be pleasurable. heat helps too.
Ffs mate put the camera on a tripod its sending me sick lol
You can slacken the bolts on fuel filter housing and get a spanner on the inside to save cutting the van
I’ve learned this the hard way 🤦♂️ we had to cut into our old transit (that got stolen) to replace the control arm and I stupidly presumed this was the same
It’s nice to know you are still on good terms with your ex your more like me do stuff for the kids an care that way I have a son with my ex plus a stepdaughter that I bought up as my own me an her mum are still on good terms
Rough as a badgers arse pmsl. I love it. Keep up the errrrm work.
54:36 its for if theres any water in there to drain out though that hole
Old engine oil / grease mix brushed onto brake pipes keeps the tester away !
Testers hate getting dirty 😜
All mk8 transits have the hole behind the fuel filter its the mk7 transits that you have to cut open to get onto the wisbone located nut
I’ve learned this the hard way 😂
When you think your all set up under the van and the tool you need is out of reach or worse still in your bus 😡😂👍 good work.
Hat tip to you for helping out your daughters mother when your not longer together.
ask fro an appeal form and contact the dvsa
complaints they dont like
The law on brake pipe corrosion is if any rigid pipe is corroded by a 1/3 off the wall thickness which is about 0.25mm then it fails to be honest with you if my kid was being driven around in the van I would want it replaced instead of a bodged up repair especially on the braking system
It ain’t a bodge fuck all wrong with that brake pipe seen far worse still holding pressure
Cool 😎
That green stuff is algie from stagnant water in the washer bottle that has no screen wash in so it just grows then because a woman drives it they run it dry and by that time the algie has been sucked into the gauze and blocked it.
Go on did it pass lol 😂
Yes it passed 💪
@@TheSelfEmployedSpannerMonkey didn't expect anything else mate 😂
i feel see sick camera all over the place brake pipe pass advise re the bush that's a p and a also mot manual states if bush detreated but secure ie bolt through centre cannot fail it same goes for rear axle bushes i am a mot tester been 1 for 22 years never had an issue with vosa
That’s taking the piss with that brake pipe!!! I hate working on vans/cars, I’ll stick to fixing trains & my preserved bus, also if you get a chance check out “The Scottish tech fleet support” he’s a lad up here who is mobile with T.I.P rentals
On the subject of MOT’s they are like a lucky dip , the testers interpret the law differently and therefore what passes at one station could fail at another one , last year my van failed because a red reflector lense on the bumper was cracked….😳
I honestly could not believe the twat failed it because of that , he was a temp because the usual tester who is good as gold was off sick…. I shot down to the motor factors got a pair of replacements took 2 mins to change them both and went straight back for the re test , I lost half day at work because of a crack in a reflector
It’s a fooking joke really…. 🥵
That’s ridiculous! Some testers are a nightmare
Years ago I took a car for MOT I am a mechanic so I know what I'm talking about the tester had a homemade pole with a spike and he went under the car stabbing the underside of the car. in the ministry guidelines it hand pressure and observation no screwdrivers /picks when I told him the pole was hideaway
There is no way to stick rusty sheet metal
Used to live in armley, i wouldnt leave a Golf R round there either lmao
I lived there for a few years as well and my old car got keyed!
@@TheSelfEmployedSpannerMonkey Lived just behind kfc on tong road, dont if its still there, this was about 12 year ago when the crime started being rife
I feel that it is financially possible to replace new parts for old brake pipes, which are pennies, but its personal choice
You should look up Chris Allan the professional struggler 😁
I work as tyre tech in a local autocare centre, and we get a lot of vans in for punctures, what is the impact wrench you are using.?
Hi I am a mobile mechanic and I had the same about the brake pipes on a customers car so I wire brushed them and greased them up and it passed
Invest in welding gloves and a leather apron
Take your car back…!!!
Tell her to get the bus like most other people have to otherwise the favours will never end….!!!!
👍
pipe failed for corrosion NOT DIRTY should replace not clean!
Is everything ok? Gasping quite alot throughout
Honestly I was probably a little hung over 🤦♂️
pump will be gummed up with fairy liquid mate
😎👍
Nice parking…
Lucky it is still there with a Ford as the local Youth seem to have many ways of stealing them 😀
Your microphone isn’t working too good when your driving
How did you get on with the questionable brake pipe mate ?
Jobsworths some of those testers
Yh all passed mate. The thing is they were sound last year and passed everything so I’m guessing they’ve had a visit from dvsa or something and now they’re super strict. I need to find a new place to take everything 😂
@@TheSelfEmployedSpannerMonkey You need one like mine “Remote Tester 👍”
Was it Pigeon poop welding bro😂😂 Did it pass hopefully it did I would of done the same with them pipes it was only surfaced rust
It passed mate 💪and yes it looked like a pigeon shat all over it 😂
I would not fail that no chance
Take the pump out of bottle rubber grommet blocked
Did it pass
Yes it passed mate
@@TheSelfEmployedSpannerMonkey cool question would you be able to donate to my just giving page I'm fundraising for a power wheelchair I've just been diagnosed with ms and require a power wheelchair to get about if you can help with this let me know if you need the link if not no problems. I really enjoy your vlogs
Tell him to fix it himself…not your partner anymore
She not he..🤣🤣🤣
My thoughts exactly 😂
As if you took the angle grinder to it. Rough as f**k 😂
did it pass
I would learn to keep quiet you start questioning the mot testers abilities you will end up with a ton of problems one being your van could be called in again for another test and fail on a lot more I have learned to keep my gob shut and accept there decisions
I find some MOT testers are becoming very “anal” nowadays! Depends where you go! Took a car to Halfords for an MOT passed with several advisories for brake disc scoring and tyre degradation! Following year took same car with same tyres and brakes to an MOT station that only does MOT’s (council run) and passed with NO advisories!
she your ex let her take it to the garage herself
Why would you do your ex van it's her problem not yours
We are still on good terms and have a young daughter so I’m happy to help out wherever I can
