It looks so easy to do that I think I will sell my car if/when the roof goes out.
Hi please when i fill the pil trough the hole at the top am i suppose to see it though the hole or not please let me know as i couldnt see it or it didnt over flow from the filling cap at the top of the engine as i added litre as i had a small oil leak u see thanks
@@parmindersidhu9690 it overflows when full
@JamesThorpe OK thanks for reply so I need to add probly some more until the the oil reaches the top of the filling hole but not too much to were I put the oil cap on an it pours our right thanks
Can u put mk1 kuga in title 😢
It’s so sad that cars get scrapped when they can be easily saved
Hi there I have the same car could u help i have a replacement split tailgate release power button it’s the one on the right side the smaller button don’t know how to remove it can u help
I've not taken it off myself - I got a whole new tailgate. I would guess that if you take the inside trim off, you should be able to unclip it and push it out.
Hi, Is it the same on a 2014 model?
I don't know, I'm afraid
Great video as im about to embark on changing mine on my 2001 golf. Normally i would do this myself but after seeing your struggles i may take it to my mechanic 😵👍🏼
Do you know how to fix the gap between the roof it won’t close all the way, I had a broken latch fixed it but it still doesn’t fully shut, I get wind and water in because of it!!
Hi where do you download the manual you had ?
Your car is still jacked up should be lavel?.
What side of the car is that gearbox overflow on?
Left
@@JamesThorpe is that passenger or driver sorry
@@joshuabonner1075could be driver or passenger side. These cars come in LHD and RHD. The drain is on the left side.
Hi, is it required to lift the rear part of the car as well to have correct level of oil in the end? Just don't see it in the video. Thank you.
I di have it on jack stands
No new crush washer at the banjo bolt ?
you mention topping up upper chamber - but this is not shown - where is the top up for the upper chamber ? You show oil coming out of the overflow but not the top up of upper chamber process - any tips
Basically you wait until the overflow stops, then add oil through the top until it starts overflowing again. Screw in the bungs and it's done.
When you were driving it sounded like a tornado siren sort of
Well done peugeot you mean 😁
Х хддд
How did you get the very back part of the top off, by 18:05?
How much did you pay for the windscreen?
I am doing a replacement of my front bumper but have failed at the first hurdle - removing top grill. I have removed the 6 screws, bonnet release and air intake, but have 4 clips at the bottom of the grill where it attaches to the top of the bumper. I have eased the outer clips on both sides but can't release the inner clips on each side. I have inserted flat screwdriver above and below but can't work out which way they move? Just started raining so have popped in to ask here as I watched your video yesterday and hope you might remember as the top grill appears to be off at the start of this video. I don't want to force anything as top grill is undamaged. TIA
Hi , thank you for the video. You made it look easy to do. Can I ask - you replaced the top cover of the roof on to existing frame. Would that be right. Also how long did it take you to put the new top cover on. Thanks Alena 👍
I just did mine for the 1st time. It took me a few hours.
When’s the update
There is a shallow socket for the oil filter or as we do in the workshop make a cranked spanner

You going to need a lot of rattle cans!
Not rattle cans - doing it properly Sir! :)
I too bought a replacement rear window as the bottom half of it doesn’t demist I viewed UA-cam and the ‘re stick’ method would work on an R57 but not an R52 ☹️
I have send my car to the Service Centre for replace the rear tyre sensor, and after that the mechanic suggest to update my car software for better condition After finished software installation, there are two symptoms coming out • Car temperature indicator go to maximum level • Very Hard Knocking when I shift N to D gear Senior Mechanic take over this to find the problem occur and make some software alteration to normalise the condition. The senior mechanic can only normalise the high temperature problem but can’t solve the hard knocking problem and they said that they could not replicate the problem Any idea what it can be. It only happens in first gear. All the rest of the gears shifts smoothly with no problem. This happens even when the car has warmed up and even after an hour of driving.
Sounds like your garage have done something to be honest. I'd take it somewhere else, a Ford specialist, and get them to check out and fix the software updates that were done.
What year is this?
It's a 2008.
I need same parts for a ford kuga same model, where did you get parts from?
Ebay mostly. There's a Ford specialist breaker in Essex too (Gala I think they're called). I have a couple of bits too - what do you need?
Haha i have very similar damages on my kuga
How did you fix the hot start issue
The engine is not hot look at the temperature gauge, hot start issues with the fuel pump are after it's been ran properly and is left to heat soak, that's when some fuel pumps suffer with hot start issue. You can buy a gizmo on fleabay that will help with hot start issues on a P38.

Best video i have found. Thanks so much mate.
Playing about with air bags and not disconnecting the battery braver man than me 🤣
Your t shirt reminded me of grown ups 2 with the head master no but seriously love the videos
Movement is life! Respect! 😊👍🏻

Thats me on the trike at @18:00 With the cambered wheels on it :D
That was a mad machine!
Yes it's my mates we'll be there next year and hopefully i would of built my trike by then :D
I have some rare edition of these previous wheels, on mine the caps are also out of aluminum and are screwable, the rim bed was high gloss polished from the factory. But they also get replaced by 7,5x17 Lenso BSX rims and I make them look like OEM Wheels, so not like others that make fake BBS emblems on it.
Nice!
Ha! I sometimes listen to BBC Radio Northampton but more of a Radio 2 fan these days! xx
Radio 2 is OK but not OAP FM! 😀
awesome
Thanks
These things are never easy James, especially when you're doing it on your own. Plus if it was easy a lot of people would be out of work...
Fair point Sir! :)

Thanks, the driver's side was a real battle but the passenger one wasn't too bad. Lots of penetrant and a bit of heat on the circlip!
