I know the original bolts are expensive at like 6 bucks a pop but i would rather spend 50 bucks on new bolts for the subframe than put some rusty shit on it, but thats just me. you do you, great work!

Fully agree, also they are one time use, coz subframe to body bolts should be torqued 90Nm + 45 angle + 15 angle, lower arm bolts should be torqed with suspension fully loaded and they also have a torque sequence.

What was the spark plug gap? 0.8 or 0.9mm?
@menditmatey3368
@menditmatey3368 Месяц назад
I read up that 0.8-1mm is an exceptable range. Not sure if that is correct or not. I didn’t check these plugs, the car ran fine with them.

Made the job easy. I have recently taken out both passenger side door locks. FOr the back one, you need to partially take out the window regulator to allown clearance for the lock to come out. FOr the front, n worries it slides right out!

Did you carry out any electrical tests before stripping down the door? Is it possible to determine if it's a motor problem before remving the door card. Thanks.
@menditmatey3368
@menditmatey3368 2 месяца назад
Hi, I didn’t do any electrical tests. I heard the cable snapping and making a grinding type noise when operating the switch. The front right window works intermittently on this car, I suspect it is the wiring loom that leads into the door that is at fault. I am hoping to do a video on this at some point in the near future. Thanks.
@geoffaries
@geoffaries 2 месяца назад
Many thanks for that. I can hear what seems to be the motor trying to work, so maybe it is the cable unravelling and jamming the gearing.

Quick question: I have to replace the alternator, but how do I know how much pressure I have to apply to the belt tensioner? i know thats most tensioner have some markers but i cant find any on this one
@menditmatey3368
@menditmatey3368 9 месяцев назад
Hi, you want to get enough tension on the belt that will allow you to twist it slightly on the bottom. I done that in this video but it isn’t the best to see with the camera angle. Too slack and it’ll slip, too tight will cause premature wear or cause it to be noisy. Hope this helps and that you get it sorted. Thanks.

Hi, trying to manually pull my window up as i think the motor has gone, if i remove the motor unit should the window go up with little resistance? Thanks
@menditmatey3368
@menditmatey3368 10 месяцев назад
Hi, If you remove the motor from the regulator it should allow you to pull the window up. Sometimes the wires in the rubber conduit going into the door from the car body can break and stop the window from working, worth checking. Thanks.

Might sound a silly question how difficult was it to get the old bolts out from the old subframe

@jamesbremner9957
@jamesbremner9957 Год назад
Nice work. Quick question, did you note where all of the bolts go? I may have been a biff and stripped the subframe off without noting where all of the bolts go. I've now realised that most are different sizes!
@menditmatey3368
@menditmatey3368 Год назад
When I was removing the old subframe I set the bolts aside and then screwed them back into where they came out, once it was off. Hopefully you get it sorted. Thanks.

@@jamesbremner9957 you could try matching them up with the old subframe, to see how they look. I’m not sure from memory if those bolts are different lengths. I think the 4 steering rack bolts are notably different from the subframe bolts.

Really appreciate this format. No irritating background music is so appreciated. After being a bit freaked by the Hayes narrative am now cracking on with a lot more confidence. Getting the old bolts out is another story, needs time and patience to avoid rounding off bolts and destroying captive nuts. Advise any novices like me to study the many utubes on this topic. Great work on putting this together and sharing.

Did you cut the zip tie at 22:05? I did mine much earlier and messed up the regulator. After fiddling about with it, i fit it on and heard a crunching noise and the metal wire came off. Now I have to purchase a new one.
