Great vid. I have a 2010 e class Mercedes. I’m not sure if this is a Daimler engine but I think I have the exact same issue as my plugs look like that. Do you know if this procedure will work for me?
Bit late to the party. I have a QJ7000 and '73 JH. I find the blocks with the cutouts are bit better as it distributes the weight over a larger surface area. Love your content, its nice to see other people enjoying and using a JH.
@@Daimler-Jensen Do you ever find with the QJ, that one side comes down faster than the other ? Its a bit disconcerting when it happens. Its's bled properly and the air pistons have 45psi in them. Wondering if one of the valves in the pump is having an issue.
@@alanphillips4851 Yes, I known what you mean. Mine drops down pretty evenly but one side doesn't go down all the way, when there is no weight on it, so I have to push it down.
I was going to use this video to help diagnose one that I've never heard run as soon as though I've never heard one of these run ever... Super misleading wish it didn't have the music lol
Thanks for this brilliantly explained video Mark. On your shopping list I have found the same fan from stoney racing, but did they also supply the other items? e.g. .hoses, thermal switch, mikalor clips, overide switch.. If not can you point me in the right direction please. I'm in uk and want to make the same upgrade.
Surely with external pipes from one piston to the other, there's no oil ways which would leak fluid when you unbolt the piston. Any fluid leak would be from a perished or damaged seal or from the pipe connection or bleed - no ? Otherwise I'd like to know why they seize ? ..and how to prevent it ? when many classic cars are not used as everyday transport. Stainless steel pistons imply a lack of corrosion but surely it is the piston's seal sticking in the bore rather than metal to metal contact ? Thank you. Bfg.
I’m 17 and I just got a 1933 Austin Seven Boxsaloon and I love it. Me and my dad will do it up quite a bit and I can’t wait to bring it to shows near me. It’s such a fun car to play around with.
Thats fantastic to hear! There are not enough young people with classic cars. You are right, they are such fun to drive and very easy to maintain. Keep up the good work, thanks for your response.
My word, technology has moved on since I last marshalled around twenty-five years ago! We were using digital clocks then but nothing as sophisticated as this.
I bet a lot has changed, although the crews are not allowed to use electronic equipment to figure out their average speed, still being calculated with clocks and tables.
Lovely car, shame about the muzak in the background! No music, please. Just the sounds of nature and the car. (Dunno why vloggers think adding music adds to the enjoyment.)
Awesome to have this perspective for Lejog as well. Thanks for Marshalling - without you events like this would be impossible. Looking forward to this year's Lejog
To get my annual Rally Fix, I'm marshalling at the Saltire Classic tomorrow (Sat 11/11/23) and the LeJog in early December, so keep an eye on my RU-vid channel! See you in December??
Fabulous motor cars - in 1977 I was 12 years old and went with my mum to buy a old English ?white one, deep blue interior with full webasto sunroof - £250 in very good condition CHT 550C (think its no longer around). She hadnt even passed her test and I went along for moral support.. 😮 The guy selling it also had an EType he had just bought. There was a problem after some months, float chambers I think ? The car ended up falling into disrepair at a rough garage for lack of parts and was knocked around badly and parts robbed from it.When it was finally recovered as the garage wanted it moved, it was a wreck.... Such a shame, my mum loved the car but in reality did not have the resources to run it....and it shpuld never have been left with those people. My dad bought another one from a work colleague, £150 from memory, not so nice but ran well, cant remember what became of that one. Lasting memories of the sound of the motor and the gorgeous interior leather and walnut, the flip switches incl a map light and the chrome handbrake to the right of the drivers seat.....
Good question! We couldn't get the car to run well and, after a lot of checking and head-scratching, it turned out to be a faulty (new!) EI. Now with another one, it's running lovely again.
Due to the BABVVO and TEBBVO laws, all petrol cars will unfortunately soon be banned from public streets in the EU, CH USA and Scandinavia :-( In Germany, the Green People's Party has given the order to shorten the fuel supply from 2025 by reducing all conventional gas stations to just one state-run central gas station per city or county Now they even want to slow down all gas pumps by 20 liters per minute to 2 liters per minute... From 2027, some car spare parts will also be banned in the EU... such as exhaust systems, turbochargers and even some engine and gearbox oils. .. California and New York will do the same from 2027... So no more investing in petrol cars... They even created a new type of crime here called emissions and smoke crime . "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" BABVVO in Germany and HESCHLAVVO in Switzerland.
This was delightful, thank-you so much for sharing. The little finger indicators brought a tear to my eye, I remember them from my father's car, in fact I remember him having to wire and add little round lights and tape down the fingers when the law changed, I hated the new indicators and have always missed the little fingers. What a beautiful car, I really didn't need the music, it was intrusive, I would have liked to hear more of the engine sounds.. I see it needed double-clutch for the gear changes lol gosh I miss these old cars they were so round and artistic and carefully made, I miss the dipswitch on the floor and I LOVED the horn! thank-you for including that it made me smile.
I must have a mental make-up from the days that was built , I wish we all drove cars like that now when the world made sense and one could do our own car servicing because they didn't have computers.
Great snapshot of the 2023 event and a great teaser for the 2024 rally. Well done Mr. Hooghiemstra. No apologies necessary. I know how difficult a job this can be and very time-consuming. Keep up the good work.
May we begin a campaign to have these two men, Smith Esq., & Mr. Saunders, knighted? Fabulous Video Mr. Hooghiemstra - no apologies necessary - the audio and video were clear. Very good way to 'preserve' these good men.
@@Daimler-Jensen more like dreaming of one 👍 I think I prefer the original ‘V8 250’ with the thicker bumper, I’d want manual as well and I gather they only started making those in ‘67 - same time they starting producing the facelift ‘250 V8’. So finding a manual will be tricky, I guess? And it’d have to be in that Silver as well. We are moving and releasing capital, and we do want a second car - I’m not sure this is what my wife has in mind, however! Were it up to me - one day I will!
My dad owned an Austin 8. I would fall asleep on the back seat LONG ways. I used to sit on the running board and my feet didn't reach the road. Happy memories.
