You get this with copper sometimes , repair it in one place then another pinhole appears out of the blue not far away soon after Remove as much as possible but not that easy when the whole floor needs ripping up 😫
Will never drive a Ford. You won't see me in anything but a toyota hiace or Hilux. Toyota's are reliable and everyone drives them here in Australia. All the best mate cheers
Thanks for the support mate, it is greatly appreciated, I think Fords are the most common van on the roads over here, the older ones used to pretty reliable but the newer ones not so much
O heck Tom . Well at least you had a good holiday. .👍 Not good news about your van .if that's not enough then your other van does it . Have heard a lot of things with these wet belt engine. .. Know what you mean with having no van .I used to have the day off when mine went into the garage .. Always thinking you have it in the van then realized you don't have your van 😯. We all make mistakes no matter how long you have been doing the job .just kick yourself 👍👍👍. Hope you get a loan van from them .
Mate, looks like you had a day from hell! Start a day like that you know something will go wrong! Have made loads of whoopsies like that! Normally cutting the flush pipe wrong once I mark it 3 times!! Hope this week is better for you and you get the van sorted asap.
Head up mate, things here to test us. As I’ve said in a reply to somebody all vans have pros and cons lol. So many specialists out here 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. Loving the videos keep them up, but still keep some time for yourself.
These Fords are 💩. Why don’t they recall them & change these daft belts?? I know you’re stressed mate, who wouldn’t be?! I’m surprised you didn’t do the Single Bolt Monobloc Tap trick? Fitting the Tap from the top👍👍👍 Well, that’s real life Tom, the joys of the Trade & running a business.
Oh bloody hell Tom, you're really in the wars ain't ya at the min, hopefully it'll go up from here for you bud, I've actually not made that mistake yet, but it's bound to happen at least once
That’s life,what while the van’s wet belts are falling apart and if they alter the warranty,then you should be giving a chance to return the van’s,and get something else. Anyway the job looking ok ! Weekend is here hopefully you’ll be enjoying the football Looking forward to watching the next one Tom,👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
All new vans are garbage. My new Peugeot was in for 8 months then another 3 months shortly after. Only vans I've not heard of having problems is the vw transporters.
Brilliant video Tom funny how your tone changed when you said “ And now it’s leaking that way” totally priceless, your tone conveyed your frustration superbly. Wow! Really enjoyed the soap box race fantastic effort fair play Tom.
I'm not sure the channel will go far, maybe give up after a couple, to be honest when I uploaded the first ten or so videos they all got zero or a handful of views, the video I made about the drain off tap hack did ok and it picked up slowly from there
They are nice vans when they are working, fuel efficient and they are lovely to drive, they hold the money as well so if you change them before the warranty runs out you don't lose as much as you think
Sorry you got to deal with that mate, van problems are a nightmare but do get sorted in the end. We all get days like those, luckily its pretty rare! Chin up mate, tomorrow is a better day.
Top man Tom these things happen is from time to time with a larger crew of men it’s a matter of keeping calm and overcoming issues..we had the same problems with Ford changed all to Nissan primasters now and touch wood so far so good🙌🏻
I was really struggling for space in the house and it was pouring it down outside, it just made sense for me to drop the worktop on the unit on this job, thanks for the support as always
Hope you have a better time dealing with ford than my friend did his went south 4 months ago and its still not sorted and only 40k he reckons ford should be ashamed chin up mate
Ford should be ashamed, the problem is they don't seem to have the capability to fix all the issues at local centres, you should be able to take it to any garage and charge Ford
Sorry to hear about the van Tom, I feel your pain. Not having your van is like turning up with an arm missing and as well as you try to prepare for your day there’ll always be that one thing you need and haven’t got, proper pita! Shame about that back panel too mate but that’s what I like about you and your channel, complete transparency👍🏻
You are not alone my friend. And thanks to those, like you, who produce these videos and show their cockups and daily grief... It helps those of us, who don't produce content, that we are not alone either! It's not what happens to you, it's how you deal with it that is the struggle! Just another day in paradise lol!
Tough times with the van mate, mistakes happen to the best of us especially when your mind is being pulled in other directions Glad you had a good break, I’ve just got back from three weeks in the states, best decision ever
If its any consolation ive done exactly the same. Mine was swapping a pan to a comfort height pan so knew I'd need to amend the cutout but yeah forgot about the plinth. Had to get a magic man out as the vanity was a fancy one but discontinued 🤦🏻
I was so annoyed with myself, it's so easy to lose concentration, like I say to the lads you can't just delete a mistake in this job, thanks for watching Chris
What a rubbish day for you. Must say anyone can make a mistake and its very rare for you and you didn't attempt to hide it. Proper real life of a plumber Tom as normal, great work tomorrow is another day.
Ah man, as soon as I saw you draw that line for cutting the board behind the pan I knew what was going to unfold. We have all had that feeling after making a mistake. ❤️
Mine is on a 71 plate, but it was one of the later ones that year, it still has about 6 months left on the warranty, are 68 on wet belts or chain, chains are much more reliable
Nightmare Tom, losing your van does mess with your head, hopefully Ford Uk make good on their warranty repair. I take my hat off to you for showing I mistake we have all made. Top bloke. 👏👏👏👏
Ah mate, nightmare when your van is off the road,we have a temporary spare van but you never know what to put into it,as we do reactive maintenance which could involve anything and parts required,as you know.
Thanks for the support mate, we have a spare van but it was out already, it normally gets filled with rubbish as well, I spent an entire Saturday once cleaning it all out only to find it filled with rubbish again
What a day Tom, I’ve got a Ford Focus with a wet belt, worries me that it will fail, but losing your van is a right pain, hope you get sorted as soon as possible, take care 🤞👍🚽
