Join me on my journey as I take my passion full throttle into the Automotive Industry to learn more about it all, also bringing you an all round insight to my daily car lifestyle and getting some hands on videos of my R53 Cooper S track car, Defender and daily vehicles.
My aim for the channel is to take on all aspects in the automotive industry such as, but not limited too... racing, off-roading, rallying, karting, on the spanners in the garage, car/location/product reviews and more!

Hello, great informative vid… The short earth horn cable that you added an extension to. Where was it located after you pulled out the horn? Do I have to pull out the clock spring to find it? I’m about to do same swap as well. Keep up the great work! NYC
Tried to find a Cayman in my budget and wound up with a 2006 BMW e90 330i. Caymans just didn't fit my price range. We'll see what things look like in a few years.
Thanks for the ONLY proper video I’ve seen so far showing how this is done. You could have made your own horn ground jumper cable with just a bit of regular wire to save yourself a few bucks.
Hello 😊 thank you for great video… where do you plug in the resistors please? I can’t work out where they plug in.. I’ve tried a couple of ways but no luck 😢 there is two wires from air bag…
I don't suppose you still have that 3 spoke available do you?! Finding an all black wheel without on wheel function buttons is nigh impossible! Great video by the way!
Hey, realize it has been a minute but is there any way you could tell me what the thread pattern is in the three bolts used to pull the dampener are. The (3) bolts that go through the disc part of the tool and thread into the actual dampener to,pull it as you screw in the bolt that applies tension to the crank. Is this clear enough? Thanks in advance!
Hello! I’m still here and ticking along, all good though thank you and I hope all is well with you? :) I started working as a No.2 mechanic for Alpine F1 Team, so I’ve been super tied up with work over the last year but I’d like to get some videos going again. A lot has changed in the last few months!
@@carsandbras2202 I’m really great thank you Cleo. Wow, sounds like a very exciting job. How is it going? Difficult at times I guess? Hurry back; it’s been too long 😊 You made some great content. Are you still doing track days?
Because I wasn’t going to do a video on it, and I’d already made a start on removing stuff. Then the nosey neighbours kept asking me why I was driving my car during lockdown when everyone is supposed to be sat at home. So I didn’t take the car out again afterwards to get the noise
Realistic expectations for most MGB's here and so nice to see from this un biased restoration. I have owned several of these and seen a lot more. I would say that most of the listings on Ebay will not be much better; probably all nice and shiny though. These cars are soooooooo easy to botch up and sell on. Proper restoration is very expensive and some may even be on their second "rebuild" by now. £600 sounds ok for the car you bought and you could possibly have shelled out £10,000 for an un-documented "rebuilt" example of similar quality. Will enjoy seeing how you get on, sounds very interesting.
Suggestion for anyone else doing this job... Replace the rubber bushings in the belt tensioner with Powerflex urethane bushings. I put a new OEM tensioner on mine and within 8k miles, one of the rubber bushings disintegrated. BTW, The new OEM bolt already had thread locker pre-applied. No need for additional thread locker.
I changed the belt tensioner pulley on my sisters mini.. that one you can loosen with the thumb tab and clip it off to where it stays loose. Then i turned the car on and no noise, pressed the pulley against the band and got the noise again. Thats how i figured it wasnt thenwater pump ir any other pulley.. took me about an hourto do it and changed the belt out also because it was worn..
What's the wheels and tires specs? I can see they are rpf1 but can't tell if that's a 16 or 17 inch? And what size are the tires? It looks absolutely bad ass
Hey my little Back packer! Hope you doing good ? Looks like Your killing it ….. sad about the queen was thinking about you today mate 👍love from Australia . Maddog!
Hey hey! I’m really good thanks! Just started working for a Formula One team as a mechanic😁 how’re things with you and in the land of Oz? Yes very sad here in the U.K.
If you are going to 18 inch wheels and want 996 C4S sized Cup 2’s (free) send me a message. I sold the 996 ages ago and they’ve been sitting in my garage.
