Thank you all for the love and kind words, it really means a lot!

[@yodabatface]

Nice video again, clear,concise and no annoying music drowning out voice. Its good to see a young lad learning as he goes along and putting in an effort. Keep it up fella, you`ll have a million subs before you know it

[@djtaylorutube]

I stumbled across your channel because i'm the dad with the spanners doing stuff for the Corsa that we bought for our son to learn to drive in. You deserve compliments because as others have pointed out, it's enough of a job doing the work in the first place let alone taking the extra time to video it, being mindful of setting up the camera for angles and lighting and focus each time but c'mon, complaining about the cold?! When I were a lad (yeah here we go...), I had to take the engine out of my car and my father hated me doing it at home so I did it outside at a farm and one time, it was thick on the ground in snow and still snowing. You youngsters don't know you're born ;) One minor comment, when you smacked the ends of the driveshafts, I didn't notice that being a soft hammer, to avoid damaging the threads, leave the nut on and smack that instead. Keep using the hand tools too, someone else commented on that but you have a better sympathy for what's stuck and needs care - that's my opinion anyway. Disappointing that you didn't have one totally bastard nut that held you up for a couple of days though, these modern cars eh? Too easy! I was hoping for at least one of the exhaust nuts to provide some entertainment but alas no. I'll keep watching, you're doing a great job. What's the camera being used?

[@jamiehogg7]

djtaylorutube he will have to change the driveshafts anyway so doubt he is too bothered lol

[@mustafamurtadha8419]

Good work so far. I would lift the engine a litte when taking it off the side mount. Keep going James. Way to go brother👍

[@MS-gb3ev]

Just gotta say your videos have given me a lot of confidence to do this sort of stuff. I've been a self taught guy when it comes to mechanical work and I'm slowly but surely tackling bigger and more complex jobs. I never even contemplated being able to do my own engine swaps but I know now that it's not as gruelling as it seems. Maybe one day I'll invest in an engine crane and get a project of my own going lol. Keep it up!

[@TheSavageGarage]

Darude Sandstorm that's amazing to hear! Not only aren't videos for entertainment but I like to show others they can do things too, I'm. It a mechanic but if you are confident you can do anything!

[@Cjrelectrical]

Great work on and off the camera . No dirty cup I’m disappointed 😝👍🏻

[@demonspawn5967]

I love your Corsa videos! Thank you so much for sharing :)!

[@toddwalters9089]

Loving this project dude !! Like I said before your channels real !!! Actually doing your own project unlike other KZbinrs lol but honestly dude keep it up !!! Admire your work !! I’m a mechanic and m.o.t tester it’s nice to see someone who actually knows what there doing can’t wait to see it all finished fair play!!!!!!🤙🏼💪🏻👌🏻

[@TheSavageGarage]

Todd Walters you're too kind dude! Your words are greatly appreciated :)

[@sam_9847]

Todd Walters

[@Jacob_Field]

I miss these days! 😫❤️

[@TheMarkOfJaay]

Such an in depth video, keep doing you & I’m sure you will reach a wider audience sooner , great Job mate 💕 really like your channel!

[@Chris_905]

Good work , im amazed how easy them axles come out , im sure on some cars if you just pulled them like you did it would just seperate the inboard joint !! Good job anyways look forward to next stage .

[@TheSavageGarage]

chris90 a magic touch!

[@marks216]

Well done mate you made it look easy. This was fun bigger fun part is next. Keep up the fantastic videos coming 🍻👍🏼🍻👍🏼🍻

[@TheSavageGarage]

Mark S I appreciate it mark! Thank you

[@marks216]

@The Savage Garage Any time mate it's great to see another self taught diy mechanic in action. Can't wait for the z18xe being fitted now might pick up some information/help from you to sort my z18xe (bloody aluminium canister housing causing me problems)

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Nice one. We are just building a 1.8 Corsa C rally car. Its a 2 year build. Not seen your other builds, but I'm assuming your changing belts etc before you put it in. Good work.

[@OliverPitbike]

Always watch your videos And its great to see a new series really helpful and good to learn from... love the editing and your set up, top man

[@shifty277]

I gotta say that is some tidy removal work for someone without a fully fledged garage! If you're ever going to upgrade your cordless wrench/air wrench I'd recommend going down the Makita route for their 1/2" cordless wrenches. They can be bought body only at either £150 DTW285Z (brushless version 280nm torque) or £80 DTW190Z (190nm toque, non-brushless). If you do any DIY work at home then a combi-drill set will come with the batteries... Got all the Makita home range and they haven't missed a beat. Cheers.

[@TheSavageGarage]

Ryan Cooper thanks bud appreciate it! I do plan on getting a decent impact, but there is something satisfying about using hand tools the old fashioned way! Cheers

[@shifty277]

The Savage Garage You are correct there is nothing like a good tense of the muscles are wrenching a bolt/nut loose. I used to work in a tyre shop with a crap air gun and about a 50meter lead so was undoing wheels manually quite often! Looking forward to the footage going up of the new 1.8 animal, video quality is top notch with whatever camera you are using in such a risky/potentially dirty environment! Cheers

[@sam_9847]

Ryan

[@Stop..carry-on]

I liked your method of lifting the engine with the slings under the engine - seems more stable

[@allanmichealsmith]

Exceptional video I'm really enjoying this project 👍

[@TFBT11]

Mate your videos are quality! Proper taught me loads! 👍🏻

[@TheSavageGarage]

Danny Dumbell I'm glad to hear it my dude! Thanks for supporting

[@voidahoy]

Nice video, great channel! Keep up the good work!

[@miromiro5531]

Hi, very good job, i like it. I want to ask you, how can you remember everything what you disconnected, because then you have to connect it all. I am asking because, after few days i'm totaly ... And which camera do you use? I am not car mechanic and sorry for english ;).

[@johnafer]

Nice Video bro.. I've taken engines out before, but to take one out, no issues, and to film, edit etc.. you make it seem easy.

[@Michie1391]

Good vid mate, would you ever take on a restoration project would be pretty cool to see.

[@thetraindriver01]

Mad skills on that oil drain plug lol 👍😜👍

[@211panagos]

Congratulations!!! I already ordered my conversion kit

[@TheSavageGarage]

Panos Efthymiadis awesome mate! Best of luck with it

[@211panagos]

The Savage Garage Thank you so much!! I can't wait for the next part

[@joshcole5669]

You look like Clem from BQR's videos aha. Keep it up geeza this is a cushty project

[@ashadahmed9138]

Great video nicely done mate 👍

[@andyb7766]

Z20let next? There is not any videos of a in depth engine swap for z20let like you are doing. With the 1.8 mate

[@TheSavageGarage]

andyb7766 yea that is next for sure, however I'll have to save up for that so will likely be next summer :)

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Z20let is way too weak and expensive to tune. Just drop in a Saab B234R, and go for a 500bhp monster that wont blow up every 5 mins.

[@andyb7766]

Bye the looks of things he is doing it for fun and z20 parts a available to do the conversion and can be done on the drive at home and plus when it dose let go more videos on how to repair = more viewers = $$$$$$$$$$

[@jasondexter7775]

Another cracking video. Well done you. It's making me want to take my wife corsa apart lol.

[@stevendavies7083]

my 1.2 needs a new engine if you fancy putting your old one in for me

[@RJForster1]

Nice little touch init

[@tonyl1984]

Another great in depth video, but where is the cup of tea?! It’s an intro thing of yours recently lol

[@TheSavageGarage]

Southampton Fan84 too many people moaning about the dirt 😂

[@sam_9847]

[@kurtmcpherson8766]

[@connorclarke1544]

Great vid. Love corsa's even with all their faults :). Got a corsa B and C.

[@TheSavageGarage]

Connor Clarke glad I'm not the only one who enjoys them!

[@dazcapri7004]

I've got the combo van and on them the bolts holding the hub to the strut are single use I'd imagine it's the same for the cars

[@LewisPhot]

once its converted....TRACK DAY haha wont be the fastest but still be fun

[@metehanturkan9661]

hi.what is your job.you are doing great jobs.Greetings from turkey

[@jahed_440i]

Why do you bother working with corsas?

[@mcski1]

Wondering if you can please help? What can i do about the abs system from the 1.8 engine as my 1.2 doesnt have abs?

[@runykhan7481]

Hi mate .u look like a master. I have a problem with my corsa c. When I drive 30 km Its start like breathing.and spanning light it now on. I change egr and filter.but nothing happen. Can u help

[@vdubs6068]

Great vid mate 👍

[@evieemaya88]

Another great video James mate. Working on a car that is likely to be in our life. Can I ask when you pulled out axles did any gearbox oil come out?

[@TheSavageGarage]

Arts&Trusts yea a dribble, they are only filled to the hole the axle goes in, if you care about your driveway drain the oil by removing the plate with the 10mm nuts on the bottom of the gear box :)

[@9598rambo]

Arts&Trusts most Vauxhall’s gearbox’s run there oil level below the cv joint so no oil loss

[@evieemaya88]

The Savage Garage it was more that I have a bad cv and was going to replace it but wanted to know if I'll need to get gearbox oil to top it up afterwards

[@evieemaya88]

9598rambo The Savage Garage it was more that I have a bad cv and was going to replace it but wanted to know if I'll need to get gearbox oil to top it up afterwards

[@TheSavageGarage]

Arts&Trusts you should be fine mate, I lost a tiny bit which shouldn't make a difference, however if you really wanted to you could add a little in through the reverse switch on the gearbox when you have changed the driveshaft

[@greenhornetbandit5437]

Where abouts are you from in England wen your corsa is done should do a corsa meet up

[@TheSavageGarage]

Green hornet Bandit Norfolk mate, yea I want to do a track day / car meet in the spring

[@darrell5337]

Yes mate!

[@chrishazell4864]

Where did you buy the engine conversion from?

[@TheSavageGarage]

Chris Hazell a guy was breaking one

[@shubz4699]

what gloves u wearing at 0:30 i need something robust like them.

[@jadebyrne3701]

You shouldn't be leaving your brake calliper hanging on the break hose like that tip is to use a metal coat hanger so you can hang it and take tension off the hose

[@TheSavageGarage]

Jade Byrne it was only hanging for a few minutes until I cable tied them to the struts :)

[@jadebyrne3701]

+The Savage Garage ah good man top video

[@TheSavageGarage]

Jade Byrne thank you for the constructive advice though! :) thanks for watching

[@kamarmanliki6258]

pls play Ecu/key/mobolizer replacement for corsa b hatch back 12v 1.0 3cylinders

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Why bother with a 1.8 ?. Just go with a Saab B234R. Full on 500bhp, and will run that day in, day out for over 200,000 miles. So many Saab engined Corsa's now at the Ace Cafe meets.

[@andrewsmith-zi7db]

Hi bud you seem to now your stuff like it more video how much for engine then should be a quick car when done like it a lot

[@jackbow1019]

I like your vids mate but watching the calipers hang on the flexi made my skin crawl 😂 please always keep them suspended when removing them!

[@TheSavageGarage]

Jack Bow it's getting new brake lines 👍🏻

[@jackbow1019]

The Savage Garage ok good to hear 😎

[@sonicgrunt1931]

Yessssss

[@hgallloway1265]

Hey savage garage have you got an Instagram or Facebook please I am interested to do some business with you, about a Vauxhall Cora’s I will be 17 in January and I’m looking at corsa’s and wandering if you could get one with lowish Mileage or have one with lowish mileage in good nick I’ll be happy to do business with you

[@TheSavageGarage]

Harry Galloway I have instagram, thesavagegarage

[@TommyGames97]

[@TheSavageGarage]

Tommy Cars&Games 97 if I don't end up using it I'll be selling it I'll let you know

[@TommyGames97]

thanks you got me on insta :) tommytoogood

[@cenariusbg]

Why do you have to drain the oil? I would believe you should keep the oil in the engine? Why am I wrong? (I am no mechanic, just like your channel and watch for fun :P )

[@petersaunders6848]

He’s done it the right way actually mate

[@TheSavageGarage]

cenariusbg you don't need to, but it's more for the person who buys it, if the sump breaks in transit it won't spill everywhere

[@cenariusbg]

Thank's for the answer mate. I knew that you are doing it right. I was just shocked why you are draining it. I guess that if the oil is in the sump or not the engine itself is oil-less anyway so better play it safe for transportation. Thank you for the answer. As I had said I am no mechanic. I just watch your channel because somehow I like it.

[@TheSavageGarage]

cenariusbg no worries dude, thank you for watching and supporting :)
