Hi guys, welcome back to the channel, today "The Pollen Filter King" AKA my mate James returns to give me a hand for the day, always enjoyable having someone else out in the van with me to keep me company and have some fun.
Just some basic repairs and maintenance for the day and then shockingly we go to a job that the RAC attended and took them 30 mins to diagnose and also told them its a "suspected head gasket". Watch and see how easy the fault was found, let me know what you think they did wrong?
Thanks for watching and I hope you all enjoy todays video.
For all work enquiries please email kerbsideinfo@gmail.com

on the van front, might be worth while checking play in trust washers in bottom end. with someone watching the bottom pulley, get another to start engine and press and release the clutch, if theres movement in the pulley in and out , theres your vibration bottom end....

Great suggestion mate, I’ll give that a go 👍🏼

on the citroen picasso . replaced a few of the housing's,the problem i find is they don't supply they bled cap. i use a tyre valve cap

For the Focus caliper, try the short 7mm out of a Draper style bit set and turn it with a 10mm ratchet spanner.

@kerbsidemobilemechanic 3 месяца назад

Typically I’d lost that exact bit out of the set I have 😂😂

@brianburns9190 4 месяца назад

the most common reason i find ,is the beauty cover moves and catchers the valve

Why not just use axel stands to be save I watch all your videos and think your channel is great and on a few occasions ive seen you under cars without axel stands I’m just concerned for your safety that’s all Kerbie

I own a 2016 Focus ST, did the rear brakes four years ago, luckily I have a comprehensive Allen key tool set, the only way to remove the rear caliper is to have the right size allen key and ratchet.

@styusuf5671 4 месяца назад

Per the focus ST, yes a Allen key will fit without removing arb drop link - 7mm I think

@kerbsidemobilemechanic 4 месяца назад

Just a slow removal I guess? Wasn’t any space where the actually ARB was it seemed

Recently changed my rear and front discs and pads on my mk3 focus st, everything came off nicely.😅 And for the rear just put a short Allen key with a spanner comes out without removing the rear drop links.

I’m in the RAC the guys in the vans are great but getting through on the phone is virtually impossible and when you get a new battery with a five year guarantee you have to pay for another one when the first one fails after eighteen months . Getting the money back seems to take forever.
