Hi I’m trying to fit my android unit and mine didn’t come with a female plug on my wiring loom can you help thanks

Take no notice Martin I've watched most of your videos and I think they are brilliant and down to earth. Carry on with your amazing work and don't let the b stards grind you down.

Lovely father and son team work , is there a way to tell the difference between a inner track rod to outer as I’ve seen videos of mistaking where the travel is and replacing the wrong part. I’m sure you know more than me about this Martin you are a very knowledgeable person. Love all your videos not 1 bad word to say about any of you 💜🥳

I tensed up when the radio got steamed! But great video, this was super helpful!

Those discs need changing to, theres a ruddy great lip around the edges of them

What are the holes in the side cover on the Trotter Van at 0.53 seconds ?

Bank one sensor one is sensor before the cat

Why does it look like the bottom bolt on the main bracket on the drivers side look like it is loose

On a motorbike the volume of brake fliud in the reservoir is directly relevant to the volume of consumable material on the brake pads. So when worn pads are replaced, the level should always return to the full mark. Provided, of course, that it was on the full mark beforehand. And as Martin says,as long as no one's come along and thought it's low and requires a top up. I'm not sure if that's true on cars as one fluid reservoir normally feed all 4 brakes ,which would total quite a lot of pad material.

Hooraah! At last someone who agrees that all that buttering up with copper grease on the brake pads is not necessary and indeed not advised.

From across the pond, I do the same thing for my neighbors. My friend, originally from St. Ouen, Jersey then takes them and does the hair and mack-up. The customers love it. Cheers. Narragansett Bay

These cheap Chinese diesel heaters are copies of much more expensive Webasto and Ebersbacher units. Both companies have always offered variants for use with other fuels, including petrol (gasoline). This has virtually no lubrication properties, yet they use the same dosing pump, just altering the stroke rate to suit the different combustion characteristics of the different fuel. So, running on low lubricant fuels should not have any detrimental effects on the pumps. For many years, members of the Irish boating community have been running their diesel heaters on Kerosene, because there tend to be far fewer fuel quality issues with that than with the diesel available from waterside pumps. Over here, thanks to tax rates, Kerosene is slightly more expensive than diesel for heating systems. Road diesel is a different matter…

Gary squeezed the last pennies out of those pads, i think the wind in ones are only one the rear to opperate the handbrake🤔 great video guys.

Back in the day on the older Vauxhalls it was a known problem that if you didn’t release the cap there was a high probability that you would flip the cylinder rubbers. Isn’t it funny that through all the years copper slip has been used on pads yet new cars are fitted dry. Another informative video for those not in the know. Well done lads 👍

Thanks

I'd just like to say that I love watching all of your videos and i think it's brilliant how you all chip in as a family together its just so normal and natural and that's what i like the reality of it .keep up with your amazing work .

Never done anything with a car before mate as I dont drive 😂 but watching your vids it would certainly help if I needed, informative and brilliantly explained. Love you doing these videos, from lawnmowers to the cars. Anyways thanks once again and take care 👍

You only just caught those brake pads in time before they started to scour the discs. Great informative video which will hopefully help a few people.

The discs need changed too look at the lip top and bottom on the disc means your pads will have uneven ware plus the disc should not be that shiny

I changed my pads once.........ONCE!!! 😂😂 it was a pain. I tried it a second time on my next car, 8 years ago, in September 98°f 90% humidity. Bolts would not move. After 30 minutes, I said F it. 2 days later pulled into a shop, 45 minutes later it was done.

the braking system is designed to work both ways with the cap on...Your Apprentice is learning @ Gary...

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Any chance of you popping round and doing my Vectra ? 😂

I’ve been cleaning it with soapy water scrubbing it but the mold still there I will try this again tomorrow thank you,so much for sharing this idea ❤

great work keep up the great vid thanks lee

Thank you for another video love it😊

Would you sell ur spare please 🙏

Great video. Guess what I am doing tomorrow. Cheers guys

Kerosene. I thought was cleaner than diesel oil. Not sure on that, like to know.Great video demonstration

I would like to thank this gentleman for posting this. My ford focus estate car had a new battery installed and afterwards I realised my radio wasn't working and asking for a code. It wasn't in the handbook or in the glove compartment. I followed this and in 2 minutes I had the radio up and running! All of the sites I had previously googled wanted money to obtain the code. So thank you once again.

18:39 Did you put a spring on it in an unexpected place? At the beginning of the video, the spring was standing differently. She is not "under the mount" in other sources of information either.

what type of mold is that ?

Mid November 2024, I just paid £0.95 per litre for red diesel.

“Kid juice everywhere “

Saved me a lot of money thanks !!!😂😂😂😂

In the USA 🇺🇸 kerosene is not cheaper. Last year kerosene was roughly 14.00 dollars US versus 3.00 dollars plus US. In retrospect, a cheap 120.00 plus diesel heater with cheaper diesel ( especially off-road diesel) is the way to go.

It's the armchair critics that blow hot air😮

Glad I don’t have a garden Marty🤣🤣🤣

I love to see the jobs you do on the mowers and stuff. Interesting and informative, but I can never understand why you quote metric AND imperial sizes for fastener heads. I'd always say if it's a metric hex use a metric socket/tool whatever. If it's imperial use an imperial tool. Most people tinkering with bikes or mowers would surely have both metric and imperial sockets & spanners. I know I do,and it can often ruin the head if an incorrectly fitted socket (particularly a 12 point socket)is used. You're American audience would certainly have imperial - and metric tools would be a must due to most fixtures,screws & fasteners being metric over there I'd of thought. Most manufacturers distribute stuff around the world in metric dimensions s. I suppose if one DOES only have one type of tool set ,then giving both Metric and Imp sizes is helpful. But mostly I'd find the so called equivalent to be a slack fit resulting in a possible stripped bolt or screw head scenario. Glad you got that mower sorted,anyway. Thanks for the tips on buying up a nackerered mower and restoring- becaus that's something I might have a go at in the future now I've retired. Best regards, Roger (the dirt warrior.)

Turn the timing tool around the gaps between the two long red bits will go either side of the ridge in your timing cover pretty sure

Brilliant! Another great job. 😀

Hello sir, awesome video as usual. Just a question, I have a Zafira mk1(based on this astra as you probably know) the pump makes noise, however nothing is coming out of the nozzle. Both not by the front and back. I tried to unclog the nozzles with a needle but it does not work. Also the fluid level does not drop. Any idea on what the issue could be? Also, will it be easier to access the pips/pumps etc with removing the front bumper? Please let me know! Keep up the great work! Kind regards,

Another tidy carb referb 👍👍👍👍👍

Watched your video the other day on butler’s empire you mentioned the last cut of the year you normally miss , I’m the same so yesterday I cut my grass , then cleaned my lawnmower to with an inch of its life for it to go away for the winter. Hate using it in wet damp weather as it sits damp rotting the deck but needed a last cut so put the work into cleaning properly after 👍👍👍👍👍

I was looking through FB and saw Martin's face and the mention of 'carbs' and I thought it was a cooking vlog 😂

I'm in south eastern US. I use #2 heating oil, $4.98US, in my Chinese diesel heaters. It's not the same as kerosene. It's also a lot more expensive than standard auto diesel, $3.68US, but not as expensive as kerosene, $6.89US. I am only running this because my mother had her house converted from an oil furnace to a modern HVAC system. She gave me the heating oil (150-175 gallons US) to haul away the old system and tank. I would have done it for her anyway. I have two heaters set up in an old 1967 12ft x 60ft mobile home. The #2 heating oil burns very clean compared to diesel. I have not tried kerosene, to expensive. Once I run out of #2 heating oil, I will re-tune my heaters for auto diesel. The factory tune was great for the #2 heating oil, but a bit to rich for auto diesel that I used for first start up and test run. We do have cheaper off road diesel, but it's becoming very hard to find outside of construction companies that have a fuel delivery set up byway of a semi truck. I hope this info is helpful to someone somewhere.

Martin it’s great to see you and Gary in the shop again. How’s the Trotter engine coming along?

I used to mix 50pc paraffin with my diesal land-rover. People gave me funny.looks when doing the paraffin pump. But it works ok, cheaper than walking 😂😅😂😅

OOOOooooh that going to be the business when it's all done! Happy days bud!
