Here we go again. We started the day by replacing a Ford Transit Tourneo Custom’s control arm. The customer states the when he had his Tyres replaced, he noticed that the bushing on the control arm is starting to perish. Instead of replacing just one side, he opted in to replace both arms.
Moving on is finally answering people’s Q&A! All I’m gunna say is- IM SORRY!
And for the first time ever, doing a Honda Cambelt. The process does not scare me but the thought of messing it up did! Who else fears turning the engine on after replacing the cambelt? Is it just me?
After this, we had to service a Seat Ibiza FR so that’s replacing the Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter and Cabin Filter. Yes we did not replace the spark plugs and that’s for a reason!
Lastly, we had to repair a subscriber’s clutch as it left him stranded. As a self-employed man, I can fully relate. So we do what we do best and sort it out for him ASAP!

As a fellow mobile mechanic based in Surrey, I've experienced substances and scattered cash around the vehicles that one particular chap had. I ended up declining working on his cars due to the legal risks. I'm a married dad and simply walked away. Jobs and people like that just aren't worth it.

[@themarvelousvlog]

I’ve turned down jobs in certain places and in certain conditions. I’m also a dad of 2 so can’t be taking huge risks 🤢

My old V70 2.5TDi timing belt was on the kerbside/Nearside/passenger side. 😂 Was really really easy to work on.

[@pda49184]

You Guy's always keep it light hearted and never seem stressed, (although I'm sure you have those moments). Loved the story of finding a 'stash' in a car you bought.. Hilarious ! Great work and very entertaining ..

"No car repairs" never seen that before. But at least you can kick a football at all the windows.... 😮

[@themarvelousvlog]

It was echoing whenever we hammered something 😂

[@thewaywardgrape3838]

19:12 - A piece of advice lads with some back story: I was working a side job where I'd do breakdown recovery and minor mechanical repairs; servicable parts. I had a call to go to fix a flat tyre, so pretty simple stuff. I got to the car and the driver was extremely adamant that I didn't get inside; wouldn't let me move the car to a safer spot. The driver was high and the car stunk of the 'wacky bakky'. After messing around for a good 40mins we'd clearly attracted some attention and the Police turned up! Now this caused myself some right trouble, as the Police thought I was involved in trying to resolve the issue before getting caught. (I was working out of a XC70 + iforwilliams trailer. Not a sign wrote van). The moral of the story is this: If you suspect anything illicit, just inform the police. The auction car could have had a 'drug marker' on the car, which will cause you grief if you're driving it.

[@petergrinnell2500]

That's good advice you gave today when I'm fixing cars for family or friends and if it's a job im unsure on i have a look on u tube as the newer cars are more complicated to do any work on i gave up on being a mechanical in early 2000 because of technology and just carryed more on welding and fabrication as a job keep up the good work guys 👍

[@al-aminhussain8052]

Im enjoying these videos esp as an apprentice mechanic im learning a lot of tips to help me out. However, I do advise to invest invest in a Transmission jack. Although you might be able to life it its completely unsafe and if it falls on you it will either seriously injure or kill you 💯💯💯. I know that theres a lot of mechanics dont follow health and safety rules because it can be tedious however it is their to benefit our health and safety. 💯💯💯

[@avpinstarter]

Perhaps a gazebo would help when it rains to keep you lads dry cos summer dunt start until august in this country ha

If you are dropping coolant on the floor, please think about local cats. They are attracted to the sweet flavour and it is usually fatal for them. Wash/dilute it away with fresh water if possible.

[@themarvelousvlog]

I didn’t mean to but yes we do clean them afterwards and spray some brake cleaner on it too EDIT: -We usually catch them with a pan underneath

You guys are amazing. I would 100 percent use your services, but I live in Cornwall unfortunately.

[@ashmaybe9634]

Same, maybe we can club together XD

[@Simon-fr4ts]

@user-mr9jw2he8m I have been looking for someone for 25 years and still nothing. Always ripped off with sub par work, cheap nasty consumables etc. Even for a regular service they never specify the brands of parts used, oil type and brand etc. It's just a generic overpriced invoice using the cheapest motor factor parts. I used to do a basic service and change pads/discs myself 25 years ago when I was younger and had a driveway and tools. I cannot do this now as it's not practical and my health is bad.

[@Simon-fr4ts]

@themarvelousvlog If I needed a clutch or cambelt, I would consider driving to your location if the car was driveable to get the work done as you are clearly customer focused and use only good replacement parts.

[@themarvelousvlog]

Ahh it’s pretty straightforward. Just pull the glovebox and it will be right there staring at you 😬

[@nineteen-sixty-nine9373]

Thanks.I have not changed one before so i did not know,The glovebox does not need to be opened or interfered with.Its actually underneath the glove box and and not staring at you.You have to get your head right underneath to see it.,After instaling it i was talking to a friend and told him about my so called expertise he said that the orientation could be wrong and the arrow showing on the filter faces inwards.I checked it and he was right so i just swapped it around now.If the complete method was shown it would have been easy.I can fix smart phones,laptops destop PCs but not worked on later cars.Been driving for 40 years and worked on older cars though.If possible can you show the complete procedure as i dont mind watching a couple of complete jobs rarther than lots jobs that are forwarded with parts not shown and the complete procedure not present.Thats the whole idea if we need to to do something correctly ask u tube.You guys expertise is excellent by the way.

I bought a tidy Insignia from a very old guy in Gloucester, while giving it an interior clean up, I found £2k in £20s under the rear seat. I thought it best to contact him, and he said it was "Running away money". He'd actually forgotten about it, and I could keep it, as he had nothing to run from anymore. . . . ? I posted it back to him anyway, and later got a call from his Wife explaining his dementia diagnoses, and how he'd been hiding cash all over the house.
