I got a license in 94, got my dads old cortina Kept breaking. He would fix. Then he got me a haynes manual.. they are great, show you the proper step by step way, ( although you do figure out ways to do things quicker over time) , i spent years using them, I've still got few old ones. Another good vid. Cheers

[@Mk2Mitch]

That's wicked to hear! When I bought my mk2 I was 2 years into my mechanic apprenticeship and the Haynes manual helped me to learn about older cars a lot more!

Every time I see your videos, I get motivated.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you that means so much to me. Also a MASSIVE thank you for the donation on PayPal, I honestly did not expect that! 😁

[@Jut123]

Great work, you did well to get that sump back in there with out the 4 piece gasket moving out of position

[@Mk2Mitch]

Hi Dru, I've just done 350 miles this weekend since changing these gaskets and no leaks so far 😁 It's always best to change a few more wearing parts when your going that deep into ripping a grearbox out!

[@drucowan643]

@@Mk2Mitch that be a good test drive well done on sorting it out…..will tune in on Thursday for your weekends video…🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😀

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Mitch, great video, when you are changing the wheel bearings, change both sides, they usually have the same mileage on them, so it’s better to change them together. Can’t wait to see the engine bay getting ocd’d. lol 😂👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@Mk2Mitch]

Think ill do just that, thank you Mikey! I'm itching to get in that engine bay 😆

[@ignitionadvantages6592]

Top work bud 😎👌🏻

[@strugglyboys]

Don't you just love rolling around on the floor😅😅 never ending maintenance... do 1 thing, find 10 more things to do. Nicely done mate!!👍 I LIKE🥸

[@Mk2Mitch]

The joys of recording everything for KZbin! (not complaining tho) 😆 Hope both of you are well, I know you've been a bit quiet recently 👍🏻

[@strugglyboys]

@@Mk2Mitchcheers mate, we're all good. Just been occupied with random life stuff. Will try to get some videos out soon, have a bunch of random stuff filmed just need to sit down and edit it

[@scottsmith6274]

I would say that clear plastic washer is for the sump plug but no one quote me on that

[@Mk2Mitch]

My dad said this too, however I personally would never use a plastic washer as I can't see how it would not crack under the tension. I'd only ever use a copper one.

[@johnrowell942]

I had a winding noise at speed. It was a wheel bearing. Gearbox oil, you get your car level and fill up until the oil starts to pour out the filler hole. Where you put the oil in.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Hi John, I've already filled the box up but off camera. As I said in the video I didn't drain any and just filled it up till it poured out and it took nearly 1.5 litres 🤦🏻

[@russellwade7810]

I lowered my focus with a good set of coilovers all round right down to 4 inch off the ground boy does that catch on avery thing but looks good.

[@Mk2Mitch]

It's always a pain being low, but looks so cool!

[@wsgunlimited9148]

What type of engine oil you use? "10w-40" right?

[@Mk2Mitch]

yes, 10w40 👍🏻
