Top vid, no BS in only 3min, not for wank factor for real, keep it up love it. More in workshop vids I watch the ads and click like comment for your content, fantastic work Zig been watching for years, the one shows the fuck ups of high paid engineering at the cost of the fuckers that pay big dollars for shit ... Show the folks just how ripped off you can be by shit like this ... Doesn't happen to Toyota's

why is it necessary for modern vehicles to have all that high tech trouble making gadgetry when the old way worked just fine with a lot less problems,,,,,, chalk it all up to the EPA.. at least here in the states that's the reason.

That's one of the smartest things I've read , exactly. Old mechanic when I was an apprentice told me you can't beat a carburetor. How right he was and some of the carburettors they make these days are fantastic like the Edelbrock AVS 2 , still love the old ancient Holley though.

My Nissan X-Trail T30 is also losing coolant and I can't find the leak. Weird thing is the engine takes a hard time keeping itself at idle rpm when the engine is hot. Once I rev it up it idles smoothly. It's petrol 2.0L btw.
@ziggassedup3 жыл бұрын
There's no cooler on the petrol engine so that's ruled out...It could have a bad head gasket...Cheers.
