You know what mate, that’s making memories with your dad right there! , it might not seem like it now.... I love messing with my car, even simple things like changing bulbs my dad would be out helping and telling me what to do etc just some father son time... my dad died when I was 26 , I would do anything now to have them moments again. I’ve a 9 yr old son now myself and I’ve bought a black fn2 type r “Sunday car” so we can make similar memories I had with my dad. Thanks for the video lew it brought back some nice memories for me 👍🏼

I used some planks of wood rested on the first rung of the ramps to get my BMW up a similar set of ramps. Another tip is to use some old rubber car mats under the metal ramps. This stops them sliding on concrete etc. Great video though! Really useful.

Richard Crump all really good points there. I can remember using 10 mill a lot with the engine bolts but I can't remember off the top of my head about the spark plugs. I'm sure a quick question to Google of "fn2 sparkplug size" would hopefully find an answer somewhere. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I completely appreciate how luck I am. Just wish I knew more myself 😂

Richard Crump v power is very highly praised and I do recommend it. I personally use BP ultimate as it's literally a minute away from my house and it's still a well known reliable fuel brand that I'm using consistently. Just stay away from supermarket brands and it's also been proven you save more money in the long run from using performance fuels compared to standard fuels. Plus they look after your engine mechanically of course.

FYI don't follow the steps to replace the cabin air filter, they aren't correct and you'll damage your filter. ALWAYS refer to your maintenance book. You must first remove a cover with 4 clips underneath the glovebox before you access that panel. I followed the steps in this video exactly and then had to jam my air filter in, partially damaging it. 👎

Hi Lew we never did meet at Mimms / Rockingham. Shame!! I've only had my 2007 Red Typre R GT for 2 years. Which I loved As I know you love your car. Been in Hospital for 2 weeks & diagnosed with Liver cancer, colon & Lungs. It's Terminal, can't have chemo as that would kill me quicker. Only have months to live. A shock out of the blue. Can no longer Drive either. You have a good Life Lew. Thanks for the Advice you gave & the chats we had. Signing off. All the best to you.

DJ Crisis UK thanks for you're comment mate and I understand you're point. My main focus of this video was to show someone doing it in a home situation and not necessarily in a garage. I would have done more myself but 1. I didn't know what I was doing enough to teach anyone so as you see in the video, my dad (a mechanic) was teaching me (and average guy) how to do the service so that people could relate to that. 2. Someone had to film and trust me I'm a better mechanic then my dad is a camera man so you can imagine the results. Plus we were on a time limit to get it done in the morning. But I feel, as I hope some viewers could feel, that I could now do the whole service myself. But next time I'll do my best to show more DIY in that aspect☺️

DJ Crisis are you for real? what do you expect him to do? change the title to "Servicing my own car (with the help of my Dad)". The guy makes a great instructional video which will help a lot of people and all you can do is be pedantic about it? He deserves a medal for getting it on those ramps alone - Ken Block would probably struggle to do that sh*t. FNLEW - It's helped me a lot, ignore the pedants and keep up the good work.

Alexander Pinnock seriously, the only thing I criticised was the title, the video was good regardless. The straight black and white fact is he didn't service his car, if you can prove me wrong then by all means go ahead, I'm sure you can't because it's recorded. Point out what error I made in my comment and if by some miracle of god you manage that I will surely be surprised.
