@@fredblogs I noticed. I also noticed that the car named was a British model. Seems Britain is ahead of some places in North America by requiring safety inspections. I base that guess on some of the cars he's shown on this channel that have come in for something else. My mostly rural state doesn't require emissions tests on cars, but up here in winter salt wonderland most cars are pulled off the road for rust problems before emissions systems will cease to function. I once had to have *all* my break lines replaced to pas inspection, just because they were an older style prone to severe rusting issues. So when he shows cars with completely detached crossmembers due to rust I figure they don't do safety inspections. Sorry for the letter length reply. I do this when I get over tired.

@@Dsdcain Annual MOT for vehicles is required after 3 years (It might be 4 now). Any fails have to be fixed before the MOT expires or it's illegal to drive.

Cars ran without fan shrouds for generations. Unless you leave your car idling for extended periods, you can live without it for a while. Heck, I once removed a bad fan clutch - fan blade and all - from my pickup in November. I bolted the pulley back on temporary and then forgot to replace the fan and clutch until I did the next oil change in April. It was fine. Never overheated once. Okay, maybe I wouldn't have gotten so lucky if I lived in Florida, but I live in Michigan.

[@JeffDeWitt]

@@briancooper4959 Depends on the car. Studebaker Hawks have very large fan shrouds because the engine sits quite far back in the engine bay and without the shroud would need a really long extension to get the fan close to the radiator.

One of them had just bought the car, and was driving it home. All five of the TOO SMALL LUGNUTS had pulled thru the rim.......The tire was being held on by 3 mm of aluminum metal.

@@fastinradfordable LOL after 48 years I think I figured that out.

[@tOSdude]

I will admit to lifting half a vehicle, but I don't even get the tire off the ground before I go "something ain't right" and fix it. Watch what you're lifting/lowering.

Human stupidity is boundless.

[@soaringvulture]

You agree with Einstein.

[@theglitch99]

Politicians show us that daily!🤣😉

[@shannonharris]

@@theglitch99 true, but my question is... Is the system actually rigged or is the stupidity in the people who keep voting for them? The two party system needs to GO!

G'day from the future.( it's Friday in OZ) keep up the good work, it amazing what people do to the car's.

On that last one... I was at a Goodyear in Colorado getting an oil change (because I had just moved and didn't have my tools!). My car was in the bay on the right and lifted to max height with the oil drain barrel and funnel underneath. All of a sudden, a tech drove another car into the bay next to it and accelerated to get up the lift ramp. The car fell off the ramp part and hit the control post for the lift. Everyone scrambled over to assist in that bay, meanwhile, I am watching my car on the lift slowly sink down towards crushing the oil drain barrel and funnel. I shouted to one of em and luckily they hit the emergency stop and locked it into place. They sent the dude driving the other car in for mandatory drug and alcohol testing, and I never went back to a Goodyear since.

[@shannonharris]

I once watched auto instructor not properly prepare and have a vehicle fall off a lift at FULL HEIGHT! Funny story

[@richardthomas1743]

2:55 , good grief. Take phones away from the techs if they are this incompetent.

[@dpforth]

Not just phones, should take their tools away too.

[@shannonharris]

@@dpforth a lift is a tool... But then so are most people who end up on JRI

[@Turboy65]

Once again, mechanics should have some authority to determine who is demonstrably incompetent to own or operate a motor vehicle, and be able to start the process of denying those idiots access to cars.

I'm welded cups of u-joints several times, as temporary shaft repair, when cups not fits correctly due to wear. But as skilled welder (MMA/TIG/MIG, welded with TIG for pressures up to 1400 bar for test benches), I don't weld them so poorly;)

[@j_taylor]

I don't know what those acronyms mean, so now I imagine people welding while fighting Mixed Martial Arts. Yow!

[@ДмитрийФакухин]

@@j_taylorNo, unfortunately, it's just Manual Metal Arc. Antique method of welding.

[@melissafara]

Love your videos! Makes me smile and cringe at the same time! Thank you!

[@robin1987100]

"Who even does that" great universal comment for this whole channel

[@TotallyNotRedneckYall]

Wow, never seen anybody install a side-post battery like that. Where do they find these people?!

[@shannonharris]

People known as "Side-Pieces"?

[@macsmith2013]

You know where.

[@robertfreeman7916]

Pretty sure you're not supposed to watch this and think "That's a good idea!" Yet here I am looking at the tire used as a fan shroud. Brilliant 😂

[@alainarchambault2331]

Right, just try welding the moving part of a U-joint, sure, that'll fix it. 🙄🙄

[@jameskennedy673]

Some of those clips makes me wander about the owners mentality, keeps us 😂😂😂😂

[@petej.8676]

Glad to see your channel doing well ✌️

The 1/2 exhaust bolt into the manifold causing the leak in the cylinder… Oh boy… what a huge mess up.

[@Meenz28]

I'm guessing the money under the floor mat was someone's clever way of trying to bribe the shop to let the car pass inspections. I wanna know what else was "wrong" with that car...

[@JustRolledIn]

Lol that's a good bribe right there if that's the case

[@masterridley8593]

What's wrong with it? "Yes"

[@jamesharmer9293]

Hey, that's British money. Unlikely to be a bribe to pass inspections. Yearly inspections are strict in Britain and traceable. More likely the guy's a drug dealer ....

[@hillogical]

0:43 holy cow... it's brilliant! Can't have your cat stolen if it's ground down to a nub AND so low to the ground nobody could get under there! Why didn't I think of that???

[@buttholasaurus99]

That was a bribe so the mechanic would pass his vehicle

[@JustRolledIn]

😂😂 good bribe

[@evognayr]

Trust me you don't have to bribe them to pass.

[@Bill-yy3ck]

I don't even know where to start. But then I remember that these vehicles are on the road at the same time as us all. May the Force protect us.

[@enjoyingend1939]

With how expensive fan shrouds for older cars can be that is actually a good idea lol. Had to replace a u-joint in my car and it costed 80$ total, bet he has to pay way more now because of his "repair". Unless you want to wear a car as a hat one day, always double and triple check that the lift arms are on the correct position and not wobbling at all.

[@daBEAGLE1017]

That last clip....the technician needs to take better care of his life because one mistake is all to end a life.

[@VintageCars999]

Makes me wonder if he still has a job after that. I'm sure the shop owner seen this happen and wasn't happy.

[@mikeo9049]

Stay off your phones people! Should be fired for being in the phone while operating equipment especially while operating a car lift.

[@BogeyTheBear]

Imagine that it's 1994 and you're working in this shop. There's a phone mounted on the wall beside the lift controls and you have this car on the lift. Are you going to dial home and chat with the missus while you're in the process of lifting the car? It was a bad idea then, and it's a bad idea now.

[@EmperorSigismund]

Props to the first guy for at least not saying "I got it done at another shop."
