I broke a clutch just like in the video because you didn't use a degreasing system, adjust the pressure plate. HOW YOU MOUNTED IS WRONG, I DID AS YOU WERE AND I BROKE NEW CLUTCH IT ONLY WORKED FOR 20,000 KM, NOW I NEED A NEW ONE
Absolutely top work sir. Well impressive, you voice over is calm, methodical and contextual. Keep being you when you're chatting away, it's re-assuring to a viewer what you're explaining and why. Maybe a little division into chapters would help those of us not as brave as yourself so we can divide and conquer into weather dependent chunks with the parts / tools / and time you needed / faced during your efforts. There's plenty of us enjoying your thought process ;-)
Massive .. I thought I was the only one to do radicicolous jobs on the drive ...but you've gone one step further and filmed each step of the way ,,brilliant I doff my cap to you ...well done .. you never failed to let others see your failings and overcome them .. catch you later ..😉
What a cliffhanger!!! Superb video and channel. Took me an hour to refit my gearbox too, that was after watching another guy on RU-vid do it in 60 seconds.
Just a tip to make the gearbox fit easier. Place a couple lengths of threaded rod into the engine gear box bolt holes and use these to slide the gearbox into position then once you’ve got a couple bolts in then replace the threaded rod with the remaining bolts. Saves a lot of aggro.
James you tease. What a star. All that work on your drive and giving us a lot of information as well, unlike other RU-vidrs who cut and skip to end and show nothing. Keep going. Don't stop. Stay safe.
Best think about his channel is that it for everyone , not your high end cars people having 600hp cars , it normal day to day cars repairs and content - keep up the good work james it getting better each time
James, I could've done with that scissor lift when I changed the clutch on a 2007 VW Beetle. I ended up borrowing an engine crane form my local garage. Mating the gearbox to the engine was like docking with the ISS. Fortunately, I didn't have a subframe to contend with unlike the MK4 Golf on which the Beetle is based.
Aaaaaaah the suspence is killing me lol 🤪👍 Since watching your videos I have suddenly become addicted to buying tools and working on my own car, Oil change for my motor next week 😊
James , you do all these big jobs on your drive with jackstands and bricks , imagine what you could do in your own fully equipped garage , big congrats on a job well done
Great informative video on how to. Please please take your smart watch off when you are crawling about under the car my heart was in my mouth at least three times. Thanks For taking the time to involve us 👍
Well done that man, you will I'm sure inspire others to have a go fixing there cars , not me i hasten to add I'm a 66 year old with a knackered back, once again well done, look forward to the conclusion, 😁👍
Great video james. Getting a gearbox in on your own on your back is one of the worst jobs iv done so far, took me 2 hours in a freezing cold cramped lock up lol when it eventually slotted in I was a happy man. Looking forward to next one dude :)
You absolute horror i was looking forward to you firing it up and testing the clutch. I know it will be fine but i have to wait now. Fantastic video all the best my friend.
I came across your channel recently and loving it, I'm working my way through your videos slowly, not a mechanic but finding them very interesting to watch. My wife's Mk4 59 plate Mondeo is overheating, any Mondeo experts on here 🤔 keep up the great videos 😁
