Spot on about the plug reading Leon. I'm an old fart and read plugs since the 70's especially on my race engines. We were the computer and did our jet changes, timing, sparkplug selections by range, etc. & was extremely critical on boosted or nitrous engines. Technology has made tuning easier now especially with all our sensors available. Great servicing video & Sean is a trip. His expressions are pricelss especially when you were messing with him :D
Thanks buddy, it's really nice and we'll detailed material, I'm kinda surprised I didn't get across your channel before. You deserve much more recognition, well done, don't stop delivering content we all can learn from. 👍
I just came by your channel and I love every bit of what you do and advice (I am in Kenya - Africa) and I started the DIY thing.....if that is your son, haha let him appear on the drop too
Just wait until Young Man Seany gets to about 15 he will be the one playing all the practical joke's you are so lucky he can't keep Scuffing your hair tho lol I bet it drives him mad when you mess his hair up all the time especially when he has a date with a young lady lol...So funny to watch mate ☺😂😂👍👍my Toymota is an Auris 2007 Diesel you almost got the right one for me to watch and learn...take care Bud and Young Bud
hi i have a 2007 Toyota Auris and today i was changing the spark plugs but i cant get oneof the plug covers off as it seems to be stuck fast to the spark plug any tips pltas TIA
When I bought my car from a private seller it had a brand new mot but when I put the wipers on they smeared the windscreen so I had to pull over as I couldn't see a thing. The problem with the plastic arms they snap when you need to change the wipers.
Just quick comment on rear wiper on mot test . As a Mot tester I am sure they are not part of Mot test criteria to be tested unless causing restriction on rear number plate.
Hi mate here we have the NCT and if it's something fitted to the car it has to be working I know they check the rear wiper if it's fitted to the car don't know what happened in this case lol
Badgertronix that's an easy one mate hydraulic oil and mix it with gear oil 50% sawdust 23.5% water 12.5% sand and one and a half teaspoons of sugar sorted!!!!
bodgit and leggit garage thanks for providing me with the secret to eternal life. I think that's what you meant. Must be how you keep your boyish good looks 😂
I disagree with you changing the oil specs. Synthetic 0w30 or 0w40 are way better than dino 10w40 for old engines. The wear it's the higher in the cold start, that's why 0w40 it's the best for modern diesel. It's BMW engines, if it's Toyota engine, 150k miles it's low mileage.
Like I explained in the video the specification is the same as the manufacturer originally said An engine gets warned the tolerance is get bigger this is why you put slightly thicker oil with the same specification And also when you look at the manufacturer specification it States different thicknesses of different thicknesses of oil but the specification is the same
Never put thicker oil in your car even if the engine is warn it will cause further damage !! If your engine is warn change it more often . Great video apart from that ! great point about cleaning the messy oil
That battery looks to be narrower than what the car came with (the top strap is made for a much wider battery.) I'm wondering if that's why that terminal bolt was missing - maybe it originally had thicker posts and the hack that put it in couldn't get it to tighten around the post?
Presumably the passing of the rear wiper test is relevant to the Irish MOT not the UK one. They don't cover it here. Can be totally broken and will still pass.
it all depends on your situation depends what sort of mileage you are doing what you need the car for impossible for me to say but as maintenance and cheaper to repair and maintain a petrol car is always cheaper no DPF filters and no dual mass flywheels but like I said it depends on your situation and what you are doing with the car
I've got a 4L Nissan Micra, it's struggling to start. The hazard light is on the dash so need to refill the headlight fluid ASAP, can you help identify which Weight to use.
Hi, Does anyone know where the bleed nipples for the clutch master/ slave cylinder are on a 1.33 Auris Same Shape as in Video? Planning to change the clutch fluid.
hi mate the easiest way to do it is fine the pipe coming from the bulkhead or it might be coming off the brake reservoir follow that pipe down to you come to the cylinder you should see a bleed nipple there and Bleed it from there
bodgit and leggit garage Thanks. Will be doing the job early may. From the part images of the clutch master on salvaged part listings / tech manuals there doesnt appear to be a bleed screw, but Ill have a proper look around myself following your tips when I have access to the vehicle. I've seen a video were they bleed the clutch master by loosening and tightening the hydraulic line, is that a viable approach if I cant find the bleeder?
Hi I have a 1.33 Auris which takes 3.4 ltr... What if they overfilled it about 200ml or a lil more? I gave them what was leftover from a 4ltr(half ltr or more) bottle plus 3x1ltr so they put them all of it and now i guess my engine has 3,6 oil inside... I have done like 1.500km with it but yesterday i tried to remove as much as i could... Do you think it will cause any damage?
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Ah thanks for prompt reply. No I did watch your video many times couple of weeks ago, but this time I was going through the manual of Auris and wanted to quickly know without going through the whole thing. Thanks again mate. Keep up the great work !
Oh right. They're banned in Britain, and most states in America. Just absurd no such thing as a "dangerous breed" just idiots that own them for the wrong reasons. They're a lovely loyal breed. Even though they're banned in Britain I have some friends with them that are legally registered. Have to be insured third party and one of them had their house raided when the policy was due to be renewed to try and seize the dog.
