Random stuff but mostly car related content. Restoring a 1992 Rover 216 GTi twin-cam in my spare time. I'm not an influencer so feel free to make your own minds up.
Just ensure any PTFE tape is wrapped clockwise around the threads so it doesn't get snagged as the gland nut is tightened. I did this in a rush and wrapped it the wrong way. Still worked though.
Im curious why you don't show how to fuel up and then start the car. Dang it. Oh well. At least you showed me where the fuel tank IS. I couldn't find it by myself. The original owner passed away and I'm helping his wife auction off his toy collection.
There's a small metal tray that slots under the boiler. There are official Mamod fuel tabs but I didn't have any so used BBQ lighter tabs instead. Probably not as safe so didn't want to show that.
Bout to tackle the same stuff brother. Also did doing the electrolysis before removing bushings help the bushings come out easier for some reason or another? If it did I was just going to do the treatment first then remove bushings
Hi, no, the bushes were still tight as they are an interference fit and none of the liquid would get between the bush outer sleeve and the suspension arm.
I used Plusgas as it creeps between gaps that WD40 can't. Wiper removal tool will help but these rear wiper arms can put up a fight. If it still doesn't want to release, you may have to cut the arm around the spindle and clean up the threads and splines before fitting a new rear wiper arm. I smeared some ceramic grease before fitting a new arm which was from eBay. They're not expensive although quality can vary a bit.
You literally have to push the foil into the diecast features of the body panel that needs to be replicated. A better method would be to replicate a real car panel process that uses two-part moulds and a press or bench vice. There is a RU-vidr who has made two-part moulds to stamp out alloy panels for 1:8th scale RC. Certainly a faster process than push forming.
Certainly since Euro 2 regs came out in the early 90's. My 1992 K reg Citroen XM 2.1 TD (XUD11) had EGR but my 1992 Pug 309 1.9 normally aspirated diesel didn't.
There is a clip that needs lifting and pivoting back to release the connector. It will probably be quite hard to move if it's never been removed before. I sprayed some WD40 over the clip pivot points and gently worked it loose.
Hi, I'm not familiar with this particular car, however most torque-converter transmissions tend to operate in the same way. Check ATF level and colour since too low fluid level or too high will make it run hotter. Old fluid that smells burnt or is a brown colour indicates a transmission problem or very old oil. Like most auto transmissions, the fluid will have a fluid cooler and possibly a transmission oil to coolant heat exchanger that will contain a thermostat in a sandwich plate that only allows ATF to flow through exchanger when it reaches operating temperature. These systems rely on the engine cooling system to be working correctly so waterpump, coolant thermostat, radiator must be doing their job. I had a look on Google and overheating does get mentioned quite a bit on 300 forums. Found this video, hope it helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mBw8pu4LgXs.htmlsi=OYAE1emMuFi_Rz85

Buongiorno, io assemblo il cambio di una alfa 164 3000, ho bisogno di sapere come si controlla la frizione unidirezionale. La mia frizione ha i rulli che escono ... e' normale. Le chiedo dove si possono reperire ricambi, frizioni, gasket. Grazie se puo' aiutare. Thanks. Guglielmo Italia
Ciao, ho trovato questo specialista di ricambi su Google. Forse sono le persone migliori a cui chiedere. www.transmida.lt/en/automatic-transmission-parts/alfa-romeo/zf-4hp18fla
Both the oil supply pipe and oil return pipe must be attached and secure before the engine can be started. The bigger oil return pipe is awkward to remove if the turbo/exhaust manifold is still bolted up tight. It's made of a stiff rubber so in effect it is clamped between the turbo body and the block outlet pipe.
Just done it. only took off coolant bottle retaining rubber so it had movement and the 90° bent air intake pipe. Putting the toggle on pedal I got my left hand from below by the pedal between centre column and wire harness up and above the toggle and pedal and done by feel took about an hour to do
The lack of a wheel arch liner boggles my mind. I just checked mine today, and the metal panels are stuffed full of wet dirt, rusting from the inside. Terrible design.
Hello there. Thanks for this valuable video. My T31 is a making some funny sound on acceleration with no lights on the dash and thinking this could be the cause. Will try to check it.
Good morning, I am the happy owner of an x-trail t30 2.2 dci 4x4 with 86000km. First of all, thank you very much for your videos, I don't want to change my car or have it break, so I'm preparing parts for when they fall, could you tell me where you bought the repair cartridge? I would like to buy one from scrap metal and repair it for when the car breaks. mine. Thank you so much.
It's a project I've got to revisit. There is another RU-vidr who was actually stamping out miniature panels for large scale RC using resin and carved MDF moulds - a far quicker process than my attempts.
Just about everything in the transmission was worn. The fluid was grey it had so much Shrapnel and metallic debris, clutch pack friction material was cooked and flaking and the valves and shuttle valves within the valve block were scored and the plastic valves had overheated and seized due to previous owner regularly towing while not keeping on top of the cooling system. The pump was scored too so losing pressure.
I am so glad I saw your video. I was about to go to Screwfix and get some sliders. Your solution worked like a treat. The washing machine slid right into place in seconds. Thanks
I've been using an empty five litre antifreeze container as a neck support while welding underneath my Rover project. Neck strain is horrible. The last time I got it, I ended up feeling dizzy and a bit rough. Wheel well/inner arch repairs are my least fave job as most welding masks are too bulky. Matt from Furious Driving channel was using a flexible hood auto dark welding mask in one of his vids.
Thanks, I've had to purchase another MIG welder as my old SIP Migmate is being even more recalcitrant than it normally is. Still got the sill part of this panel to weld up.
just about to do this on my 2004 206SW 1.4. Can I ask what model Foxwell you have?.. all the advice I've seen says you "must" use Diagbox or Peugeot Planet... my other code readers don't work on a Peugeot but if Foxwell does I'll get one of those !
Hi, my one is the NT414 which is now several years old but still works. I think it's been superceded by the NT515 or possibly 600 series. I didn't have any problems with my Foxwell connecting with our 2004 Pug. In fact the replacement ABS unit cleared the fault code. Just make sure the brakes are bled before connecting the battery. A bit of polythene bag under the reservoir lid can reduce brake fluid loss when you loosen off the pipe unions but have old cloths to absorb spillages because brake fluid will damage paint.
@@TK42138 Thank you !... I have various scan tools that recognise the protocol but when I run a fault check they all say "no errors in ECU" even though I have a permanent ABS light on, pedal pulses on application and I'm pretty sure it's the controller as I've tested the sensors..cheers !
@@TK42138 I replaced just the controller box yesterday hoping I could get away with it, ABS light went out!.. until I started driving then it came back..I read on a peugeot forum, controller and pump need to be a pair, so it looks like I need to do what you've done..
@@PompeyMatt17 How did you do just the box? Is that a seperate unit? I thought that was attached to the pump in this video or am I mistaken? I'm looking at doign this on my gf's citreon c3 but wondered if I can just do the controller! Cheers
I have a very weird problem with this gearbox, it's on Saab 9000, the car run fine without any issues in all gears, but there's horrendous grinding noise when I'm in D and the car shift from 2nd to 3rd for the first time of the drive. It always only happen on the first 2nd to 3rd gear change, then it won't happen again indefinitely until the car shut off. lol The mechanic I visited worked on this for decades and said he never found this problem, I went out with the mechanic and let him drove it, he was completely bewildered by what happened, lol he said that we will know what happened after a complete overhual, so, I'll be reporting back of what is the issue when I found the answer. We tried changing the trans oil, and it didn't help, surely it wasn't oil problem, but something in there must have broke in a very rare specific way.
Also for everyones information i believe there should be 40 rollers per ring. I cant believe its done like this it gave me a heart attack when i took the ring off and had a whole heep of loose pins fall everywhere.
In addition to the four bolts holding the gearbox to the engine (two at the top and two at the bottom) one of the starter motor mounting bolts also doubles as a gearbox to engine bolt so you will need to loosen the starter motor. This link describes a bit more detail. pmmonline.co.uk/technical/how-to-replace-the-clutch-on-a-peugeot-206/
Assuming all the bolts are out including the transmission to body mount (under the battery tray) and the starter motor bolt, there are steel spacers/collars (that act as locators between block & gearbox) that often stick thus making it difficult to pull gearbox from engine.
Yes - you can connect the pipes directly so cabin heater is constantly warm. There's no law pertaining to heater valves. So long as the windows can be kept clear and the driver has good visibility/can see out. I did the same when I originally got the Fiesta. I used two plastic pipe connectors and four hose jubilee clips from Halfords so coolant permanently flowed through the heater matrix.
Yes, I ended up looking on Saab forums for spares but even ten years ago, spare parts were starting to get hard to find and secondhand transmissions are always a gamble if they can't be seen operating in the previous car and the 4HP18 runs hot in the heavy Citroen XM even with an ATF cooler and an ATF to coolant heat exchanger.
Ive experienced a slight 'wobble' in my 2006 Xtrail 2.5 petrol Aventura of late when i start it up. It was dry enough to get under it today and i noticed all the way from the engine , to the exhaust box at the rear of the car (sorry, i am not sure of its official name) , there isnt a single 'fixed' bracket holding the exhaust on. There is a bracket on the exhaust which isnt connected to the car body. Its located a few cm forward of where your heat shield nut/bolt is. Am i right in thinking this exhaust should be connect to this heat shield bolt/nut (but it doesnt seem like they would line up and it doesnt seem like the bolt would be substantial enough to me) ?
Hi, the heatshield nuts only support the thin and light shields. From your description it sounds like the solid metal rods that support the exhaust via rubber 'hangers' have rusted or fractured from the various parts of the floorpan. If you grab the end of the exhaust (on a cold engine) and it wobbles around with a knocking sound then several exhaust brackets or the rubber hangers have failed. It will need fixing because the exhaust is heavy and will be putting strain on the exhaust manifold/downpipe and the last remaining bracket/hanger at the rear. I've looked at my T30 and the pdf workshop manual and there are six support brackets including a bolted bracket mid way which I think is the mount near the heatshield.
'Nissan Xtrail UK' Facebook group have workshop manuals in pdf format that can be downloaded. There is a section on the T30 exhaust that applies to both the petrol and the diesels. Shame RU-vid doesn't do messaging otherwise I could have sent diagrams showing the exhaust bracket layout.
@@TK42138 Unfortunately i dont use facebook . Perhaps i will need to invest in a haynes manual, if they do them. Thank you again for your valuable time and insight ;)
Lost the clutch on my 206 here in Australia this morning, happened pretty quickly. Right hand drive. This does look like a prick to do. Managed to get it parked but doesn't look like a summer job in the street 😵
