Always a pleasure watching you two, no matter what the subject, your skill set n knowledge is excellent, shame you don’t have the time to grow this channel as it’s fascinating watching you fix things.

[@lorainehayward4774]

Well done Martin. Lee is very reliant on you and you always come up trumps for him...what a great friend you are. Merry Xmas xx

[@STTC]

You saved Lee a packet and entertained me for a while Martin, great tinkering video

Thanks Steve👍

You too Jason

[@terryatkinson3182]

Lee needs to dump that junk in the trunk. The amount of leaves etc in the boot channels 🙄

[@jmptaz]

That gung inside of the socket is electrical grease that the factory puts in them

I started my Motor Mechanic apprenticeship in 69 and we stripped every faulty component and replaced parts whether it was a carburetor with a tiny little jet or starters alternators engines gearboxes and differentials etc,we never replaced the whole part unless it was necessary,nowadays they are technicians not mechanics,the just plug the car in to diagnose the fault and replace the offending unit,we are a throw away nation now not a repair nation as it's not financially viable to spend time on the job,another great video

Thank you! 😊

[@colintx800]

I've never seen someone use power extension cable along with electric wire to wire speakers, It's almost like factory specifications 😂😂😂😂

Have a lovely Christmas x

[@retrorestore]

Thank you so much, You too. 😁

[@mikehrdlicka8635]

Gm some times used a socket with 1 terminal uses a 2 terminal bulb that stuff in there was grease at one time. Probably lithium grease

[@stepawa]

Black & Decker cable for speakers, quality :)👍😎

[@lindabrand5144]

Good job done Martin for Lee but he definitely needs a good clean upof the car.😊

[@moonshinepz]

thought Martin called it a poncy-ac for a moment there 😆

Nice easy fix there Martin what would he do without you can't understand why there is a double filament bulb there though 👍👍👍👍

Looks like the start of a nest in that lamp.

[@canalboating]

I figure that's what 30 year old dried out grease looks like, good fix Martin.

[@grahamlittlefair8107]

I like your watch that told you it was very near to Christmas, where did you get it from?

[@davestatham812]

Crack job, its a good job camps got a good mate like you Martin, looks like hes gonna need you again soon to sort that abomination of wiring out to his speakers when he gets some new ones, great video Martin, top stuff, 👍🏻❤

[@seriksson9721]

On several newer car models, there is absolutely nothing left of the lamp contacts, rust and corrosion have wiped them out completely. So it's pretty good anyway on a nice car from 1991. Is it one with Tpi?

[@jimdixon3131]

Long way to go for a MOT

[@user-tr1or5xf1g]

Hello Martin, my Vectra c 2005 has car/spanner light on from start and long crank only on 1st start of day. No Codes showing up. Light disappears couple of minutes into ride. Any ideas mate?

[@kevinwilliams563]

Martin I was laughing my ass off. Thank You and Merry Christmas.

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Kev and all the best to you too.

[@Phantom0309]

That speaker wiring is horrific 😂 and Martin for the love of god please blur out the crack 😂

[@retrorestore]

lol

[@ProctoLogic]

Dry grease in the connector

[@markwilkinson2673]

I bet thats the longest hour and a half travel each way ever 🙉

[@lnwolf41]

I enjoyed your video, but it was a little like the 3 stooges😅😅, between you punching out the speaker film, and your buddy twisting off that screw by hand for 5 minutes,😂 What really boggles my mind, driving an hour to get the car inspected. in my state, there are inspection stations everywhere, car dealerships, quick oil change places, and an actual " Mr. Inspection" business located all around the city. All they do, are car inspections 6 days a week. So will you help him change out the speakers next time? 😂😂

[@retrorestore]

He's a member of an American car club and this is the garage they all use.

Lee seems to be a bit thick Turn your sidelights on so he turns the indicator on 😮

[@cabdriveruk]

I don't know how that rear number plates passed the mot test because they are not spaced correctly. I used to do mot testing and the specs in the mot manual say "must be the correct size, stroke width and spacing"

[@terryatkinson3182]

They must have found the £20 in the glove box 😊

[@johnkirbymobileautoelectri4321]

Should off taken the other side off to see what that looks like

[@retrorestore]

If it ain't broke, don't touch it.

[@garywalker3818]

your mates not all there martin Gary from Crewe

[@retrorestore]

He's fully there Gary.

[@grahamforster9812]

HOW DID IT PASS WITH ILLEGAL NUMBER PLATES.. INCORRECT SPACING. YOU WILL GET THE MOT PERSON IN TROUBLE. MERRY CHRISTMAS......

[@retrorestore]

Forget all that but did you enjoy the video?

[@3000malc]

dunno how camps car passed mot with incorrectly spaced number plate

[@louisjames1062]

What happened to yesterdays vid?!

[@retrorestore]

had a break

[@louisjames1062]

Nice one, good Xmas special too. Shit house move from that garage knowing how far he travelled as well. I’d never use them again. Relay my arse

[@louisjames1062]

Looks like the Bakelite stuff has disintegrated.. yanks don’t have indicator bulb it’s usually flashing tail light bulb

[@jon8xty1]

It is pronounced Chatter Ris.

[@joekerr6685]

MOT tester should have pulled it on the number plate for illegally spacing in the letters and no details of the plate manufacturer.

[@3-cpo574]

Why go all that way for a mot?

[@richardrushton7460]

Why did he travel so far for an mot

[@retrorestore]

He's a member of an American car club and they all go there.

[@donsswitchlite8178]

Why could you not just video of the bulb working as most people have whatsapp and smart phones now days and print a mot certificate out at home

[@tonycamplin8607]

What a badly maintained car, all that rubbish, leaves etc. in there. Surprised that it passed its MOT with that illegal number plate, it hasn't got the correct spaces between the numbers and letters.

[@retrorestore]

And a happy Christmas to you too Tony 🤣
