[@davidcornuault8081]

Salut Michael super la vidéo un gros pouce bleu c est du bon boulot bonne weekend a toi 👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelovitch]

Merci : )

[@jaggass]

A good job you found that water leak before the floor started rusting.

[@michaelovitch]

Yes,i'm happy it was not damaged. I just received the paper work on the car,and the inspection is done. The work on the car is nearly over,i can think to sell it now.

[@jaggass]

@@michaelovitch Hopefully you'll make a small profit. It would be an ideal 1st car for someone or a cheap runaround.

[@michaelovitch]

@@jaggass It's a good fun car,way more responsive than next my peugeot 206

[@BushcraftEurope]

What does it mean if my air bag light is on all the time? Till now I alwaya though it was belt not fasten , didn't even take a closer look at the icon

[@michaelovitch]

It can be a wire or a plug ,wich is damaged or corroded,on the airbag,in the steering wheel,or on the seat connectors,under them. Both components are working together,if you have an accident the belts tensionners pull you to your seat and the air bag inflates. It's often under the seat,because you adjust it,the plug can corrode or be loose.

[@BushcraftEurope]

@@michaelovitch merci , previous owner had an accident indeed. Was a girl driving it , couple of small bumps on a car. How much oil is fine for 1997 Fiesta to spend on 1000km , it is 150,000km car? I spent 260ml on 2000km , is that okay? I think it is not a big problem

[@pierdmereu1300]

6:25 i have a mk6 2007. i need to do that every single f year. it's insane how stupid did they concept the wiper grill so wide to get all the leafs in the drain areas. they never learn or they don't care.

[@michaelovitch]

I think they don't care,they know where crap can accumulate,and it's good to cause corrosion ,so you get leaks inside,and you want a new car or before all that go to the dealer to get the problem solved.

[@pierdmereu1300]

@@michaelovitch On mk6 also if you wanna clean for real all the dirt from there, you need to get off the wiper arms off with special tools. pain in the ass every year..Really nice restore of the car by the way, i love when people restore and bring back to life old cars. At least ford had some good engines in the past. i have 1.3 69cp engine and i have no problems with the engine for 16 years now. chain distribution

[@michaelovitch]

@@pierdmereu1300 Thanks, I use a inertia puller for the wipers ,but it's a pain ,yes. Each time you weaken the splines,whatever the method,they are not made to be removed. This engine is good,simple and reliable,i guess it's not what manufacturers want anymore since some time now haha

[@irinelpetrea9814]

Bravo boss

[@michaelovitch]

Merci : )

[@jaggass]

Has it done 61,000 km or been around the clock?

[@michaelovitch]

I think it made 161 000 km. I think it should be a bit more fresh with 61 000 km,i changed the control arms bushings on the front. All the wear make me think it's a correct guess. I'm pretty sure it didn't do 261 000 km,it would be way more used.

[@jbgaud]

A mon avis la douille en 5.5 et 6 mm est une impériale : entre 3/16" et 7/32". Pour le nettoyage d'intérieur j'ai trois articles de base: La brosse pour perceuse, le nettoyeur vapeur (un must) et une petit shampooineuse à moquette. Même la vieille Escort 93 modèle campagne de mon père n'y résiste pas. En tout cas beau travail.

[@michaelovitch]

Merci : ) Je crois aussi pour la douille. La shampoo ineuse doit être super efficace.

[@zx8401ztv]

It's amazing how nice it can look with some cleaning :-D It did look mucky. Rub light oil in to the plastic bumpers to darken the plastic, makes it look better for selling. It looks so nice that you don't want to sell it now... Please no swearing at the screen :-D Cats are cute but they do kill the birds :-(, birds make the garden alive, nice :-D

[@michaelovitch]

I agree,and i didn't think it cold turn out that good. I got a heat gun for my birthday,i will try on the bumpers to see if it makes a difference. I didn't know about oil,i will try too. If i did fit in it,i would have kept it : lighter ,and more economical than my renault 21,and with injection,i can run E85 fuel easily. Yes about the cats,but here,they are fed by a lot of people,so they are lazy lol The birds seem happy and not afraid to land a bit everywhere,we even have squirrels on the poles ,a bit like tom cruise action stuff for free.

[@zx8401ztv]

@@michaelovitch oh squirrels as well, What a loverly garden you have :-D Oil only lasts a short time. (just for sale). Something like shoe polish with the sponge applicator maybe. Since you have the heat gun, what about applying wax polish then warming it up to smooth it out. Black boot polish.. no no wrong colour lol. Just silly thoughts :-D There used to be a product called "Dashboard dandy" it improved the look but people used too much and it could end up looking crap. There is a bumper restore product called "back to black", but that could empty your pockets and that's frightening lol :-D Hope you are having loverly weather, it's good for the brain.

[@michaelovitch]

: ) Yeah !!

Exhaust blowing?

[@michaelovitch]

What do you mean ? A leak ?

[@jaggass]

@@michaelovitch Yes.

[@michaelovitch]

@@jaggass No leak as i know. The inspection,didn't find anything either. But the pipe is quite big for the engine size,it produces a quite deep tone,and there is maybe a small vibration sometimes.

Hallo Mr Michael Could you please tell me how i can change the clutch Master for Ford fiesta Mk4 , endura E 1.3 ?

[@michaelovitch]

Hi, It's behind the clutch pedal : remove the hydraulic lines,uncouple from the pedal,chnage it,purge the clutch system from the gearbox bleeder. What is your problem ?

[@mahmoudelbanna9833]

@@michaelovitch i have a leakage inside the car under pedal , when i brake the car do not stop immediately and when i push the clutch pedal or brake pedal the car stops after that i have to run the engine again.

Bonjour j'ai une question faites vous des réparations à des clients ?

[@michaelovitch]

Bonjour, ça arrive,oui Tout dépend où tu te trouves en France.

[@gregsochor]

Oh you like to live dangerously, Monsieur Michaelovitch - I always leave the steering wheel bolt in 2-3 turns, so I don't hit myself on the nose, when pulling it off the column. (This of course has never happened to me and did never feel like I nearly broke my nose... )

[@michaelovitch]

Hahaha ! I never pull stuff only,i always fear too much to see whatever i pull to snap,so i keep my arms contracted ,i have a bit of margin before to reverse airbag myself. I ,however, went too fast too close to a strut two days ago,and damaged my forehead a bit. I need a helmet to work on cars looks like.

[@potatoface01]

Could you pleae tell me the colour code of this car... i own a 1998 mk4 1.25 l zetec automatic with 41760k miles in same colour but cant find any indication of colour on car, it just says blue but my eyes tell me it is purple

[@michaelovitch]

You should have a plate on the car,with th VIN number,weight etc... there is a color code on it. I think it's Ford XSC2811 Bright Blue but give me the color code on the VIN plate if you want. A manufacturer can give various names to colors that don't look like really what you think it's supposed to be lol.
