Hey 👋 thank you I really appreciate it 👍

[@bone0944]

straight forward and to the point presentation. That spring compressor tool you have is a superb piece of kit. really nice video.

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 yes that spring tool is great! Thanks for watching 😱

[@GHOOGLEMALE]

Excellent demo - thanks

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 thank you ☺️

[@Dadsbroke10]

Great video I've had mine change twice the springs touching the wall any idea why, what I'm doing wrong. Cheers 🍻

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hi, all I can think of is the top mount is not assembled correctly maybe ? 🤔

[@Dadsbroke10]

I was up the scrappy today. He said I should just change hub, wishbone, and drives haft along with the sring and strut. He's sold it to me for £40. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for answering 🍻

[@MrAutoFixer]

Ok sounds good 👍 let me know if it fixes it

[@Sam.147]

Where are you based pal?

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 I’m based in Essex

[@Sam.147]

I have a Renault Trafic Sport 2016. It needs new brake pads & discs and also the driver side front shock absorber. Any idea of how much I'd be looking at? Want decent parts, not the budget type. Thanks 👍🏽

[@MrAutoFixer]

Discs and pads in the pagid brand from will cost about £250 fitted and decent shock will be about £160 fitted if you get the shock done then spend the extra 40 fro a new top mount too 👍

[@Sam.147]

Thanks for the reply pal. My local garage has quoted me £650 for the front brake pads & discs (Pagid) and driver side shock absorber (Monroe) and also a full service. But they have said they will need the van for two full days 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. Surely it can all be completed in a day? What are your thoughts please mate? Cheers 👊🏽

[@MrAutoFixer]

@Sam.147 the price sounds ok but I would have it done in a day I doubt it would take 2 days but they might just be slow 😂

To change spark plugs first pull the bonnet catch and..............

[@MrAutoFixer]

Wrong vehicle this is a diesel 👍

[@vauny24]

You forgot to re mount the brake line on re assembly 😮

[@MrAutoFixer]

I’m sorry you missed it, but at 7.02 mins in the video when I say I just tap the big bolts in you can see me put the brake line back in I just didn’t say I had. So do t worry all is right in the world 👍

They are owned by the same parent, Stellantis. Inevitable there will platform sharing

[@MrAutoFixer]

Yh they are all the same now makes it easy to get parts too 😊
