I totally get your frustration about the lack of clarity on the subscription, it's frustrating not knowing until you start using it. The worst part is, every time you want to download the footage, you have to take the device out of the mod (media mod for me majority of the time), remove the battery, remove the SD card, download it to your computer, then reinstall every time you want to upload your content. It's not 'that big of a deal', just annoying having to repeat the process and put unnecessary strain on components daily compared to previous models that were simply plug and play. Thanks for your feedback to mate, glad I'm not the only one that feels this way!

@@tobyhartley2829 thank’s Toby, I appreciate you and your support mate. Number one is always yourself, unless you have kids, they’re always number 1 in life.

@@GaryTillman I appreciate you mate, thanks for checking up on me

@@oceansurftrader cheers for your well wishes my friend. I appreciate you leaving the feedback. Knowing that the intent to help people is reaching beyond the border of down under is very reassuring, so thank you. I’ll be back in due time my friend.

@@petesmini88 thanks mate, I appreciate your support my friend. If you’re a psychiatrist let me know.

@ unfortunately I’m not a psychiatrist but always happy to talk or even just listen. 👍

@@stevegnome correct. It wasn’t until I did another one I realized there was more brackets for it. I’ve got another episode lined up in the future to do this job as Grace has some unexpected rust in the boot floor 😒

it was halfway a failure. gonna have to take it to the shop to do the back onesm unfortunately. could not get the rotar screws free whatsoever, and ended up completely grinding out the philips slot on them trying, and then could not get the caliper piston pushed back whatsoever with the tool, it was locked hard in place. so couldnt even get the new pads on. front was simple. back was stupid. ended up putting the old worn pads back on it, and then when i went to re-assemble the caliper, one of the screws wouldnt line up with the bracket. nothing i tried would get these to line up. it was off by about probably 4 mm.

@@ryanmcneill7492 I appreciate your feedback mate! If u get stuck, send me a dm on Instagram. It seems complicated but once you wrap your head ahead it, it’s fairly straight forward. Cheers, Tomo

@@oceansurftrader Maaaate, glad to hear it made your job much easier! They can be a pain especially when they’re rusted in there but to put them in is a breeze 😍 glad it helped you

@@0MinorThreat0 glad you found it useful mate. I appreciate you 🙂

@@dcattewell yep sure did. I believe it would have been either a 45D or similar

@@wellpreparedman well done mate. Thanks heaps for the feedback and I’m really glad it helped you achieve your end result 👌🏼

@@kingkire1556 due to its abnormally low towing capacity and lack of power? Mine being the first generation of N70, it only has 3 gear plus overdrive, whereas the later models had 4 gears plus overdrive

@@Tomostuneups I knew you had it in overdrive as soon as you mentioned "Overheating". Overdrive gears are not designed for towing, stated in every owners manual. Quickest way to overheat and cook a transmission in pretty much all vehicles. Plenty information online.

@ legit did NOT know that, thanks so much for the information mate. Given my vehicle doesn’t have an owners manual, I figured it would be fine having set to “D” (drive), clearly not by the sounds of things. I’ll be doing some towing later this week, funny enough another mini so I’ll see how it goes and report back (even though it’s a fairly short trip). Thanks again for the info mate 👌🏼

@@Tomostuneupsyou need a bigger ute m8!😂

@ more like someone who pays attention to directions 😂😂😂😂

@@GaryTillman Thanks for the feedback mate, glad you enjoyed it and found it simple to follow. It can be overwhelming doing it for the first time, but it’s fairly straight forward once you get your head around it 👌🏼

@Tomostuneups absolutely!! So grateful you upload videos like this! You can read all the books In the world but to see someone practically do it, is worth it's weight in gold!

@@dcattewell unsure tbh, I didn’t do the calculations when I had it apart 😒

@@aaronwells2516 that’s correct mate, it’s a service light to carry out a logbook service on the vehicle 👌🏼

@Tomostuneups thank you man. I did it and it's gone. I inherited my mums holden... I can't get the radio to go yet after it was sitting for months with no battery. Any ideas? I also find the steering a bit heavy compared to my Ford. 😂

@ no sweat mate. Does the radio turn on at all and does it have anything displayed on the screen? I’d try factory reset, disconnect the battery for half hour then reconnect, see if it works. If not, pull the radio out and check for power supply. Best chance is just to upgrade the complete radio as that model is fairly common for upgrading and easily obtained. Haha I don’t drive fords so I wouldn’t know 😂😂😂

@@Tomostuneups nothing comes up at all. I've tried putting in the codes and I've driven an xr6 for the last 20 years 🤣

@@aaronwells2516 she’s probably cactus, time to upgrade the radio I’d say 😎 You know what they say about ford drivers, if you can’t beat them, join them 😏

@@alvindeleon4410 100% it can. Amy gauge, regardless of what it is can have an internal fault deeming it to be useless. Best to swap out the gauge with a known working gauge to confirm that’s the fault. Reach out on Instagram if u need further assistance mate

Will reach out if i still run into problems. Thanks!​@@Tomostuneups

@@Dave-id6sj no probs mate, glad it helped 👌🏼

@@alvindeleon4410 it certainly wouldn’t be a bad idea. Unsure if it would affect it, but definitely notice the extra torque through the engine

Definitely a job you should attempt at least once whilst owning a classic mini, then get it tuned for the best performance. What a difference it makes 👌🏼 Thanks for the feedback mate, glad you enjoyed the video mate

@@steveharvey2845 hey mate, do all the globes work in the car? What type of globe did you replace it with, a standard halogen globe or LED?

@@Tomostuneups all the lights work It's specifically says left turn signal lamp out but since I replaced it I can visually see it's on. Was just wondering if there's a way to remove all errors

@ I’m unsure if you can scan the vehicle and clear the codes. Most systems like that run on resistance and it sends a signal to each light upon startup. If the value returns any different from what it should be, it’ll then flag the light on the dash notifying its blown. Have you got a scan tool at all?

@@Tomostuneups no I don't but it doesn't bother me all that much I know the flasher is on so that's all that matters really. Next time I go for an oil change I'll have them reset it thanks anyway

@ no probs mate. Let me know how you go and if it stored a code. Most vehicles don’t, however it might be different for your model. Best of luck

@@riskybiz123 I’ll have a look for the soft jaws for the vice, that’s a good idea. They’re the small L shape plastic inserts that sit inside the vice yeah? From memory Minisport sell the correct tools for the job, but you’re right, scrap the multi grips for the right tools 👌🏼

@@Tomostuneups You can just use some aluminium angle plate, they are on my vise all the time. I’m enjoying watching all your videos.

@ ohh good idea! I’ve got some spare alloy I think at home, I’ll make them up and note it down next time I use the vice and give you a shout out 👌🏼 Thanks for the support mate 😍 only a few eps left this year, then onto the 5th season! Gotta few things planned already 😎

Agreed - worked on Minis since 1966. I too thought the work was a bit 'rough arse' You got there in the end though!

@ it’s knowledge and experience you’ve got that is hard to come by. Please feel free to share your experiences and knowledge in the future on my channel. Greatly appreciate the input mate.

@@jeffreyhearn9652 gotta rep the team 😍 if I wear red, it makes me look even more of a red head 😂

@@philhill7973 it has straight cut close ratio gears in it NOT drop gears.

@@dominiccooper810 really really dumb question, is there a difference? I’ve seen this question pop up over the years on forums etc but was under the impression it didn’t matter…am I wrong?

Hey Tomo, the fans have engine stamped on the smooth side ( some of them). Also I’ve read that if fitted the wrong way around the can lose 15 -20% of cooling air flow. It’ll still work but not efficiently as it should. It’s to do with the curvature of the blades. Hope that helps.

@ thanks for clearing that up mate. I’ll be sure to inspect the fan when I take it off and make note of it in the next video for sure. I run the two single blades on Grace but I don’t recall seeing any writing on it but probably worthwhile inspecting for sure. Thanks again mate

@@kureinac6ce we’ve decided to run with the OG system. That’s going to be fun plumbing it with all the new extras in the engine bay!

@@kureinac6ce everyone loves a good gooch 😂

@@apprentice_pleb good job mate. Plastic ones will do just fine, although overtime (years on years) you’ll find they’ll go brittle and break, but a good option to go with. Message me on insta to let me know how the heater goes as I’m running the stock unit. It goes well, but she’s seen better days 😒

@@Idk-q5f3b minisport Australia mate

@@Tomostuneups thanks mate, you're the only person I have found that has the same master cylinder as me.

@ if u get stuck, hit me up on insta for further assistance. I’ve noticed the similar things dw 👌🏼

@@Elijah-cy9do Hey mate, so Grace runs a little firm due to having the red dot cones fitted, but she’s also running adjustable lowered shocks. I’ve not heard of the red spot cones, as they’re usually just a small red dot on the cone done with paint. Unsure if there’s any actually difference or if they’ve just been marked wrong. These are a good option to run to upgrade the suspension, but as I stated, it does compromise ride comfort if you’re used to the standard classic mini handling of either wet suspension or the EVO cones. Hope this helps mate, Tomo

@@hanshonstatzky961 too much horsepower 😂 tbh, no clue and it’s starting to bug me. Coolant in the cylinders and lucky it didn’t hydraulic lock. This is now the 4th head gasket I’ve blown since she was on the road in 2018, original style was copper now composite gasket. Could be gasket material is poorly manufactured, head/block not flat or another issue in the engine 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@hanshonstatzky961 thanks for picking up on that btw mate, glad to see someone has haha

@@jgrieve3282 I knew that 😂😂

@@kureinac6ce this guy 😂

@@KrakensGarageandAdventures cheers mate, I appreciate you 😍

@@pwrshots hey mate, great questions there. Okay so the tool has a plug in it which you can refit to remove the coolant filling tool. The excess coolant in the tool isn’t an issue as it ensures that’s the highest point of the cooling system, allowing any air pockets to be replaced with coolant. Any excess can be then used in the expansion tank. If the system isn’t pressurized, you can refit the cap safely. As the filling tool was fitted, there was no pressure in the system as it wasn’t a sealed system. I haven’t heard that technique before, but it could work. So long as the thermofan is cycling, heater is hot and temperature gauge operates normally, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just be sure to check the level once completely cold again, in both the radiator and expansion tank

@@Tomostuneups thanks for clearing that up for me. 👍

Hey mate, I’ve not heard of that before. What do you mean by bad reading exactly? Have you contacted your local LDV dealer at all? Doing this reset for the first time took me a while to work it out, which may be the same case for you. Let me know how you go
