I really don’t know what it is about your films, the cars, the music, or your narration, but I find them so relaxing and inspirational… I just want to run to my workshop and fettle one of my motorcycles😂. Keep em coming Gary, just mint!!!❤

@fishandreptileinfo Год назад

Wow, ive never felt so relaxed watching brakes being repaired. Great Video Gary.

@marcusd2380 Год назад

I worked with a very experienced auto spark a good few years back. He always advised not soldering wires in cars as it harden the wires and when they vibrated over time they would break. He always did proper crimping and a good connector body. These videos are great thanking you

@frankleah5137 Год назад

Thoroughly enjoyed that Gary! Had one years back, More into American now. Miss it none the less. 1971. Whit of course.Entered the Acting World late 2019. Much to learn! Repaired cars for customers most of my life, now older, I can enjoy my own……..

@philipbrit13 Год назад

I thought you were going to put the caliper back on as is. I should know better having enjoyed so many of your videos. You cleaned me up and painted them as well. Thanks for the vids. As an ex pat in the USA for 42 years and having seen some really shoddy repairs and re commissioning over here - this is a real treat.

@simonelliott5956 Год назад

I just watched a guy recondition the brake callipers on a car I am never likely to own, and enjoyed every second of it! I love the fact it's all so laid back, a joy to watch!

@hamishcruden7623 Год назад

Thanks for this. Great to see that parts for this old Rolly Polly are still readily available from Introcar. It is more than great there are places like Introcar, flying spares etc that keep the RR / Btly fans going....!

@davidlis6709 Год назад

Nice video. I like that you do this at your own place and not using a auto lift. It shows that regular people can fix these cars at home.

@edwinstupka3645 Год назад

It's an educational opportunity, that is exposing oneself to the world as it exists over the pond, seeing a Rolls-Royce getting it fair share of love and care. Thanks for the chance to look into another country's doings.e

@mrjohncharlesbrown Год назад

Blimey Gary you make it look easy ... I know it's not, it's amazing the engineering quality on even the smallest parts that make this car, I exchanged the foot dip switch on mine ....even the screws were machine turned with a machined tip at the end for locating when refitting which not many would appreciate ?

@observations2011 Год назад

Watching from Manila here. I just couldn't resist watching your videos . Well presented and informative. Although the cars we commonly use here are Japanese and Korean cars that's why I get fascinated watching those high end vehicles like the RR although we do now have a dealership in BGC that caters to rich Filipinos. I drive a 92 190E wc has been w me since the 2000s. More power Gary

So what happens with the G valve? Did you service that as well? Loved the episode! You’re getting us all prepared for the big coronation …. A British GUY working on a Rolls Royce.

@classic.obsession Год назад

Hi. No. This will probably happen once or twice during its ownership and you simply have to pull over, switch off engine, put ignition back on until both lights on the dash illuminate again after pumping that pedal, then G Valve will reset Itself and you’re good to go again. If only I knew this when it happened to me!! Regards.

@carlgeorgtsigakis498 Год назад

So on a Citroen there is a Accumulator and a de-pressure screw. The RR doesn't have something similar? Thanks for the video, great stuff

@classic.obsession Год назад

Yes. It is a similar set up will spheres (accumulators) and valves underneath them. You just have to switch off and depressurise the system with the ignition on and engine off pumping pedal till both light come on again and it resets. Regards.

@carlgeorgtsigakis498 Год назад

@@classic.obsession But you still have to press the brake 80 times..? On a citroen, release the pressure, press the brake 3-4 time and you are done.

Hey Gary ! I love this old Girl and is my favourite of your Motors ♥ Really enjoyed this episode and gotta say you make these jobs look so straight forward (although Im sure theres lots of cursing and sweat edited out :-) She is one fine Motor car indeed and was great to see you both in the flesh at the NEC - George and I had a great day. Your Channel is absolute quality - keep em coming ! Cheers Stew

@alancrisp1582 Год назад

With the braking systems of these old-school Rolls_Royce and Bentley cars. You try never to suddenly brake hard, instead you glide to a complete stop 🛑 !. And you start doing so at least 30 seconds in advance...................😂

Love how no small detail is overlooked by you Gary…nice call on the light gaskets!

@jimmypratt6450 Год назад

@axeljacobs9723 11 месяцев назад

Gary, Thanks for your reply from the last 190sl resto upload. What a luck man, that you are willing to fly across the pond from the UK to fix his car. I remember in the 80‘s you could buy a 190SL all day long for $10Grand. Wish I had bought one. They are soooo expensive nowadays! Thanks for all your lovely uploads, I really enjoy them! Greetings, Axel

@gordonsimpson3235 Год назад

I have to hand it to you Gary, you really know what you are doing....are you self taught? I could strip it down, difference between me and you....I could never work out where all the bits went for re-assembly 😉 With the amount of work you do at home, I am surprised you haven't installed a vehicle hoist. Even if the garage height wouldn't allow full lift, half way would make a lot of your work easier...

@neildonaldsonlotusexcelresto Год назад

Some nice tips there Gary, like your improvisation for removing the pistons out of the calipers. I guess you've been doing this for the best part of 40 years! 🙂

@johnmoruzzi7236 Год назад

Lucky the cylinders weren’t damaged yanking the rusted up cylinders… they really needed soaking first….

More great work on the rolls. It would be nice if a sponsor gave you a hydro blasting cabinet to clean up the parts as well. M539 has one and it makes such a difference.

@lukemallory7832 Год назад

I feel like these videos should be compulsory viewing for any real remaining petrol heads out there... I like also that you often repair and not replace.

The way the UK is going, the government will be sending operatives around yer homes to take these old classics away from the enthusiast. So enjoy whilst you can😢

Watching from north east Thailand. My father was going to buy a used blue Cornish from James Young, Bromley, Kent in about 1975 after he sold his Wassmer Baladou (french 5 seater aircraft) but instead he bought a P6 3500. For a family car I think the P6 was a better choice! Great video.

Hi Gary - love your channel - noticed a photo of Steve McQueen on the wall - do you know one of his last cars was a late 70s black Rolls Corniche? He used to play Saturday Night Fever in it acc Barbara Minty his last wife. That car is in a collection in Las Vegas now I believe. All the best - Joe

@classic.obsession Год назад

Hi Joe. I know, an actor with taste!!… Barbrara Minty came to Liverpool and screened the Hunter on the 30th anniversary of his death 2010, along with a photo exhibition in the city centre. Don’t know why, all seemed a bit weird and sad… Pic on the wall is Numan. Regards.

@martinclapton2724 Год назад

Forgive me Gary , I am not privileged own a Rolls Corniche but with the headlight gaskets could you have not removed bulb wires behind them to save cutting the gaskets ? Always enjoyed your vids particularly on this car.

@richardstamper5630 Год назад

That's about the most relaxed brake overhaul I have ever seen - let's hope my Continental R brake job is as easy

@privateer0561 Год назад

The braking systems on these cars are absurd. I am certain you could retrofit an entire normal system with a standard master cylinder, calipers, rotors, and brake lines for a few thousand dollars and never worry about them again. And buy a torque wrench.

@malcolmeyers6759 Год назад

Gary, like your videos, but one small criticism....please, put the lid back on the grease tin as soon as you've finished each task, leaving it open will allow airbourne dirt, etc, to settle on the tin contents.

@adrianriley6044 Год назад

I realigned a steering wheel on my old Merc 300CE a dozen times - it drove me bloody mad before I did it and even more when I got around to it, but was it so worth while when it was right! Little things like that mean a lot! See you in the Lygon Arms sometime!

@classic.obsession 9 месяцев назад

Yep. Know what you mean. You’ll see in a later episode I did get around to it eventually. The XJS is another story. I’ve had the car tracked several times but it’s still cocked. Further investigation I think. Regards.

@duncansmith2397 Год назад

Hey Gary, love the videos! Question for you, do you know of any wheel clamps that would work for a car with wire wheels, my Healey has no door looks so want to protect it if i leave it somewhere when i take it out. Thoughts appreciated.

@rapido2963 Год назад

I had a 1969 Daimler 250 years ago & the fuel pump was in the boot. I fitted a switch in the cable and just ‘switched off’ the pump and locked the boot. On the odd occasion I forgot to switch it back on I only travelled 30 yards before it ran out of fuel!
