It makes sense to repair parts if possible, e.g. ball joints instead of full wishbone. It's possible to measure a faulty bearing and find a new one of the correct size and type and do a repair much more economically as you showed on your video. Great saving compared with the manufacturers price,very usefull and informative video. 👍

Very interesting and and well presented..great saveing as well

Would you be able to answer a question I have, I recently brought a petrol strimmer from SGS engineering and I had to return as the unit was too heavy for me to use. When SGS received the item back after I confirmed I did not use it try to, they are saying as there was fuel in the priming bulb they can not expect my return as they are saying I put fuel in it, and attempted to start it, which I did not. My question is would there still be fuel in this bulb left over from SGS testing this unit as surely they would have tested it. I would really appreciate your thoughts why there is fuel in the priming bulb. Many thanks.

Great advice! take a break, have a brew and try again. love it when new parts arrive, I'm awaiting a set of coffin arms, although I get some funny looks from the War Office when they are all lined up on the dining room table lol

best tip ever ,take your time ,i learned this over the years trying to rush things and breaking things lol

Great video..that was tight but good job done..I've been doing my own car for 10yrs and always use original parts new..as I've learned that is best for my car.

Porsche certainly packed the engine bay! You're a brave fella to be tackling those repairs. Great content, look forward to the next video. 👍

Car gynaecologist?

Hi , is gearbox still ok if your daughter still has car? Im looking at a new box for KA and Manchester isnt too far away . Cheers m8

I really enjoy watching you work on the 996, you gave me inspiration to install a short shifter on my own car. That said, I don’t think I will be attempting what you did In this video. I don’t mind turning spanner’s but not to this extent!!! Keep the 996 content coming.

easy engine to rebuild one of easier i bean working on .

nice explanation, do you know where i could get the small pipe that comes out of the actuator (inlet pipe i think its called) my one seems to be melted on from over the years. 😅

Great video, I admire your perseverance and the way you find a way to get the job done. Is a large box of elastaplast included in the Porsche tool kit 😊 It is an awesome car though and probably worth the pain.

Very interesting

Its great to see some more Porsche content, especially the 996 C4S - such a good looking car. I'm hoping to make the move from a 986 to a 996 C4S soon, seen some higher mileage examples at sensible price ranges and I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty. It's good to see you can keep the costs down by doing a little research and completing the work yourself. Keep up the good work, I find myself looking forward to your videos.

38mm inner diameter?

At last fixed my strimmer, thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!

However if you don't enjoy taking your dash apart several times if you use LEDs in your gauge cluster and they fail, durability is pretty damn important. LOL

So all that large black tube does is allow you to fill the oil from the trunk. Why not just cut that , and splice a high quality rubber hose over the cut, secure with two clamps? if the black molded plastic tube won't hold the pressure of some hose clamps, just put a tube/bushing under it that will help support it. This job should take 10 minutes not 5 hours.

Great job. I will be doing this job tomorrow. As you mentioned on another comment that you did not calibrate the actuator and its all fine yes. Does the car run without any issues now? Thanks in advance.

This is faster :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKWocnyQeM9mZpYsi=XCrT60Fbi25NVpMQ

great vid, very informative, thank you! I've had one of these kits sitting on a shelf for a year or two now, going to attempt it on my 987 this weekend i think, I assumed it was much harder than this. Good tip on flipping for RHD cars too I might have missed that if you didn't say

I've been having trouble with my spear and Jackson spjgt26 petrol strimmer. It starts up but give it some gas as you say it bogs down. I've put a new carburettor on it new plug set the gap new air filter new fule pipes and filter fresh petrol. And the thing still bogs down. I've set the mixture screw can you or any one help me before I throw it over my neighbour fence.

My problem is the engine won't turn over with the pull string. It near breaks your fingers. It's fine when the plug is out no problem. It's weird. It's like the compression is massive.

Ferris, what a great film.

Very nice video, I have a 2019 Fiesta with the same engine. Have you encountered the 'Charging System Service Now' warning message? Cant seem to get rid of it despite changing the battery, and resetting the BMS. The car is actually charging and runs fine except for that warning.

Looking good

Mine had a broken gasket between the engine and carb making it bog out when reving i think the pressure was escaping, its now working well without the gasket for now 😂

How did you calibrate the actuator?

My 2018 eco sport st 67000 miles missed 1 service last year but had a service this year by ford but 5 months later and only 1500 miles it went boom . Had to get rid of it . Ford wanted 8 k for new engine

Hi mate did you shorting the rod on the actuator to make it smaller?? I believe ours has been maxed out to make the length of the rod longer for some reason

Any ideas on how the camshaft seal come out?

Can you post the part that you ordered to do this please

Why bother....just get an engine..

I’ve tried a fair few in my motorbike headlights. One thing which to consider is the build quality, been a couple of times the bulb housing basically falls apart and you’re left trying to fish the bits out of your reflectors with a piece of garden wire with a blob of something sticky on the end 😂

Yes they are reliable. But most importantly they drive fantastically

Seems like a dodgy piece of engineering. Are these 911s reliable cars?

Cheers mate every thing we need to know 👍

How well has it held up?

Thanks mate! I’ll try this out tomorrow!

Nice to see a video with all the mistakes not cut.......how often have had to search the messy floor for an escaped nut? !!

How is it possible that sellers don't know about the differences in diameter? They sell flexible connectors for a specific model and engine and they don't fit. I don't buy just the connector to play with welding...🙄

Hello sir! I just bought my first car Fiat 500 2009 and I am unsure how to turn on my rear wiper, my windshield wiper (front) works fine but I have been wondering how to activate the rear wiper. I hope you can help me out 🥹

You know all you had to do is chuck that spark plug up in the lath that sat behind you most of the video and zipped the very top part of the metal off were it is bent over and the porcelain just falls out hole. Learn something new every day.

I had ford fiesta 2013 1.0 ecoboost, just changed oil pump and belt and got away with it.

not see belt omg ppl see only for this

If you remove the oil cap, can you see if the belt is still intact or worn out?

Does this apply to the Eclass? Just had the guy at the dealership tell me there’s no connection under the backseat and they wanted $660 to replace the parking brake.

How did you set the correct boost crack pressure on your actuator?
