Nice vid, a clutch replacement is definitely a hard job to do if you're not a mechanic so kudos to you.

[@NOGAutomotive]

aha thanks it was a struggle but we got there in the end

[@andrejz2438]

As someone who just passed and knows so little about cars... this is incredible. Well done!!

[@NOGAutomotive]

Join along on my learning journey 😄👍 I still know very little 😅

[@Mr.Shifty]

Im an Apprentice Mechanic and this is actually pretty impressive! 😂 well done mate

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks 😁👍

[@PaulL42654]

Just a point about refilling the trans, with these 5 speeds and the 6 speed in the ST - you’re not meant to completely fill the trans with oil till it overflows. Fluid level should be about 10mm from the top on level ground, believe it works out to about 1.8 litres. Spark Plug Steve did a video on this as lots of people get it wrong, doubt it makes a huge difference just worth a mention!

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks for mentioning it I need all the help I can get 😅

[@ti5543]

Well done mate!! 👌

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks 😁👍

[@seanstephens494]

Well done 👏

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thank you 😁

[@nex3730]

Awesome bro, keep it up

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks will do 🫡

[@printedprops8730]

Hey dude, i got a 1.6l fiesta zetec. My favourite mod was to cut the airbox off before the filter. Sounds even better than a pod filter imo. And free!

[@NOGAutomotive]

Yeah my current air intake could do with some more improvements 😅

[@willo219]

Fair play man, its hard work changing a clutch especially when you haven't done one before and haven't got any help either!

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks, thought about giving up more than once but happy I saw it through 😁

[@willo219]

@@NOGAutomotive yea I bet man, you can do the flywheel and clutch on mine if you like, looks like you've got all the kit now 😁

[@NeekoAndrex]

Well done m8!

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thank you 😁

[@fanfeck2844]

Nice work! I’m pretty experienced, but I don’t think I’d be doing a clutch in my drive. Well done

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks, Yeah I don't think I'd go through that pain again well at least not on my own anyway 😂

[@Tinesh25]

you should put a short shifter in the car so there would be less throw in the gear changes

[@NOGAutomotive]

That would be an awesome project, now need to research how much a short shift costs 😅

[@David_S1985]

My only concern is that bolt you used for the lower ball joint. I doubt its the correct grade and the oem bolt has a thicker shank (non threaded part) thich is what keep the lower arm in place with that type of ball joint.

[@NOGAutomotive]

Well spotted, I found this out after filming this and have since changed it which you'll be able to see in a future video 😅👍

[@MrDezwez]

i will second that you need new ones from ford

[@hamzaprivv]

difficult one but had to be done ahaha, if something happens to mine (hopefully not lmao) imma use your vid do to it

[@NOGAutomotive]

yeah glad its done now and lets hope you don't need to ay aha

[@robsmith7430]

Well done pal, not an easy job first time and on a driveway

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks, yeah there was so many times I wish I had a lift 😄

[@leoozinhoo25]

da hora em gringo !! =D

[@starburstfudge]

Well done big job you made look easy 😅

[@NOGAutomotive]

Aha yeah the video makes it seem a whole lot easier than it was

[@starburstfudge]

@@NOGAutomotive keep it up 👍

[@hamzaprivv]

just wanted to ask you, i wanted to buy the steering wheel cover that you have but i was a bit skeptical about it cuz i dont think it provides much grip and the material are just bad, what do you think?

[@NOGAutomotive]

Its decent, I mean you get what you pay for I think it only cost me £3, did a video a while ago on it if you haven't seen it here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3S9aX-eqNB0bNk

[@hamzaprivv]

thanks mate@@NOGAutomotive

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Where did you get your transmission jack from?

[@NOGAutomotive]

it was the Sealey Tj150E Floor Transmission Jack from Amazon needed quick delivery so didn't shop around much tbh 😅

[@DetroitMicroSound]

I drive a 2017 Fiesta DPS6. And work on it myself. You have to drive the DPS6 hard, or the finer workings, like forks/actuators, get coated in clutch dust, and stick, then bend, etc. Two LuK clutches. She stays loose, and working correctly, if you pretend to be Séb, Elfyn, or Ott, multiple times per week. 😀 Wait.... I'm not sure it looked like you replaced a 8+ hardness bolt with another 8+ hardness bolt in your suspension. Don't use soft stuff. It'll sheer off at high speed.

[@NOGAutomotive]

Sounds like fun to drive 😄 and well spotted they've been changed for the correct bolts now you'll see that in a future video 😅

[@viperrsrtt]

What’s your front bumper and grill?

[@NOGAutomotive]

Zunsport Grill and it's a Stock bumper just with a bit of black vinyl 😁👍

[@benc2722]

fair play to you lad, I would have ended up with 10 spare bolts 🤣

[@NOGAutomotive]

It was honestly such a relief when I realised I only had one bolt left and I knew where it went 😂😅

[@Shadowknightneo]

Did you figure out why it was running rough after 1st start up? You said you waited a bit and then never mentioned it again. Was it the suspension or just that sleepy car feeling?

[@NOGAutomotive]

just that sleepy car feeling thankfully the car has been running fine since 😄 although there is an issue with the suspension keep your eyes peeled for a future video on that 👀

[@Shadowknightneo]

Brilliant. That's good then. I have loved binging your visa recently! Also don't edit out the mistakes you make. It makes it real and honestly gives people like me confidence to know it's not always going to go according to plan like this when you work in your car but nothing will explode (hopefully)

[@NOGAutomotive]

Thanks I'm glad you're liking them, and yeah I do my best to include when I mess up but don't like the videos being too long as I know people prefer shorter snappy form videos

[@NOGAutomotive]

and yeah I still have very limited knowledge on cars but I get stuck in and just learn by doing 😅

[@TwIn603]

How much was it to skim the face of the flywheel in the machine shop?

[@NOGAutomotive]

From memory it was £80 but I could be wrong I paid cash so can't remember

[@TwIn603]

@@NOGAutomotive thanks

[@MrOrbitzHD]

how long did this take you? made it look easy, how much you spend on tools, few trips to halfords i bet lol

[@NOGAutomotive]

Took a solid week 😅 mainly because I had to wait on tools to arrive etc but yeah took a lot longer than it should and most expensive tool was definitely the transmission jack 😭

[@MrOrbitzHD]

the skill and exp you gained well worth it and the feeling of it working at the end is mint@@NOGAutomotive

[@user-op6dw4cn6p]

did you torque it correctly

[@NOGAutomotive]

i followed the torque setting wherever I could 😁 and it hasn't fallen off or broken yet... 🤞

[@knucklehead83]

I need a cup of positivi-coffee.

[@Sheepy1966]

How long did it take you pal

[@NOGAutomotive]

Too long 😂😭

[@iansellan]

Ford stand for me more Found on Road Dead

[@NOGAutomotive]

That or Fix Or Repair Daily 😅😂
