Torque settings are useful to know.. got this to do on my 15p d2

I'm guessing this show is no longer happening ??

What is meant by "interference engine"

Looks like fun…my son and his friends did the same thing, mud bogging it was called and they did it in their ‘trucks’ in B.C.

Great vid, have you guys made a part 3 on the final fix? I'm on the look out for a 500 for my daughter who's about to start driving so ace content 👌 Sympathise with you in terms of thinking it's just one issue, but can difficult to know, I've got a 1970 Triumph Herald with a misfire, I've changed the distributor, added electronic ignition, replaced the advance / retard pipe, upgraded to electric fuel pump + more, none of which has made a difference, and still only make my way home courtesy of the AA on occasions 🤦 Seems to be a fuel delivery issue so about to trace that back to the tank 🤞 Frustrating when they don't play ball with expectations but it will come good 💪

Hello What about steering everything it's ok? Thanks

hi mate, quick tip for next time, a 22mm socket on the alternator bolt will spin the motor over no worries, saves some time!

Hi just found your Goodreads video and it reminded me of the time son Chris took me to the car show in Cloverdale, Vancouver . It was in June and he passed away July 31. He was so glad he was healthy enough to walk the show. He was 39. Thanks for the memory…

Hi, I watched some of your blog…..exciting to know the work that you did and funny seeing how fast you got things done. Bet your wife likes you helping out…lol. I’ll watch more, say hi to all your young family. Take care, Dar

watched a guy the other day he lifted one wheel of the ground and put it in 5th gear and turned the wheel saved him taking off the fan

Nightmare these cars are mate , I bought a 2013 1.2 lounge 500 only 80 thousand on the clock , the bloody gearbox and clutch blew up after 3 weeks , dealer paid half the costs to fix it but then the rear shocks broke and then the handbrake cable snapped so in total ive spent around £600 of my own money , the car cost £3 grand which at the start of 2024 i thought was a good deal but now ive been told its only worth £2 grand as car prices have dropped a lot in the last year , the thing that annoys me is before i bought it , I had a 2011 Hyundai i10 and it never went wrong and had over 95k on the clock , sold it to my neighbours friend for like a grand and shes still going well a year on ! So yeah do not buy a FIAT 500 they are SHIAT lol

When you undo the steering column do you need to adjust it yourself or will it automatically adjust when you lift it and then just retighten? Great video by the way and that lift finished it off very nicely. Doing my body lift tomorrow! 💪

Did you extend the brake lines?

Did you have to put a spacer on the steering arm from the box?

Which mounts down the drivers side do you need to get to both sides of?

I’m going this week and do you know if I can take my £70,000 bmw ix3 it’s a performance suv on the track

Nice video mate.. what size easy out did you use? Can’t find one long and thin enough Tia buddy

Pretty sure it’s an interference engine.

Thats interesting obviously its not an non interference engine after all.lads its a head gasket all the time only 1.2 that arent interference is the early ones without a vvt as the valves dont pertude out so far.hope you got it sorted.

Fantastic job thanks for the your 8 hours work Mate 🫡you a Legend,,, now I’ll go have. Bear then starts on my 06 Defey Td5 🫡 Cheers Matt

Just curious why did you decide to do the spring swap while the damper was still on the car instead of removing the damper and doing it on the bench?

Good video but the high speed time lapse is a bit annoying. Would be better to show it at a slower time lapse if possible or fast in stages, like when actually undoing a bolt but real time locating it etc. Don’t forget, we can always skip through stuff we don’t need with the progress bar Thanks anyway though, it was still helpful. Just a side note, psychologically, watching something at high speed with “truncated” dialogue that you are trying to learn from makes you feel impatient and anxious and that there is a huge amount of work being sped because it takes so long, which is off putting to anyone contemplating the job. A real time video presented calmly but concisely is much easier to watch and draws you in. So don’t worry about a video being too long if it is real time work being done. What is boring is when a video is padded out with unnecessary chat that does not contribute to the job in hand, people like myself who watch these type videos have no time for KZbinrs who take ages to get to the job and keep digressing (eg I used have a different car and that had a so and so instead of this but I had to sell it because yada yada yada!) but have all the time in the world for relevant detail. Cheers.

I actually own this truck now ❤

How did it get to that state😮. Negligence or just premature component failure

😀great video - how did you get the bolts out of the rear outriggers? mine seem to be catching the wheel arch. did you replace the washers and inserts?

good job👏just had one question did you replace the front and rear radius arms since the 2 inch lift?

What kidn of washer you put that you can mount alu wheel ?

Are these the plastic type lift blocks? I got a set off eBay and not keen on using them, didn’t realise they were plastic.

Have you got a list of the bits that need unbolting before raising the body? My lift kit is coming soon.

Just went to change number 2 injector and i ordered the wrong one, mine are green top and the one that arrived is black top. Can i swap it anyway ir will it affect the engine? Many thanks guys

Is there enough to see for two days?

Great vid fella, torque details very helpful

Hi boys! I'm a bit late to the part 1 and 2 videos on the Fiat 500. This is exactly the job I'm on at the moment but on a 2014 Ford Ka which is the same engine. I'm not a mechanic but have what can be described as a healthy interest in mechanics. I've changed the head gasket but I've lost the timing through one thing or another. I've locked the crankshaft with the tool but I'm finding it difficult to find the correct position to lock the camshaft in. It's trial and error at the moment and I've put it back together twice only to find it not running correctly. As you said, at least I can't damage the engine getting it wrong dur to it being non interferrence. Gaz.

great video thanks 👍 hoping to drive my beetle to freddy files from ireland in 25 🙏

🎉 *Promosm*

First class nice video thank you very much, now im going to have a beer.

How to u remove the bolts on the rear legs by the rear door

Hi. Are you still doing videos on your other channel?

Looks good; great job. Acid test; do I think I’d feel safe sitting there?; yup, I do. 👍🏼

She’s a beauty! Can’t wait to see more improvements 🌎✌️

Hi! Did you ever find out out from where water is leaking? I have exactly the same problem... the carpet is soaked through in same spot.

Is it really only a hour away, you dont happen to have post code for the satnav lol 👀

Awesome! Thank you for capturing some of our open day, it was a pleasure to have you both and hopefully see you on the next one 😊

Really enjoyed this guys! Thank you for coming it was great seeing you both! ❤

Cracking job mate👍 really need to look at mine at some point, good guide on it!

Good job. Does anyone know how high the rear of the body can be lifted without disconnecting everything in the engine bay? I need to do some welding on the chassis behind the rear wheel, and would be handy to have as much clearance as possible. It's a lot of work removing the body totally.

Nice!

Cant bulieve u got dad involved callum lmao, rocking it, looks much better in person the cam dont docthe overall look justice

Great video guys 😊

I knew i left my pants somewhere! 😆 Great vid guys
