Thank you for this vidéo, i was looking for where was this stuff to fix it ! Thanks to your help, it's done ! 👍👍

i am only 7 mins in after UA-cam recommended this, i will watch the rest later on my next break however i thought i would just type this, i have worked on cars for over 20 year now and 90% of my tools are now halfords professional advance all bought by myself and i love them yes i have my cheaper what you call knocking tools that are used shall we say for things they aren't designed for and hit with hammers regular (got to love those rust seized hard to access nuts on cars lol) i have never had to return a single halfords tool under its life time guarantee (touch wood lol) and would tell any one on a budget that wants something to last give them a try.

A good mechanic: Good Knowledge, and Careful Work. I am indebted for this important bit of knowledge. I would find out what removes that emulsion ( perhaps solvent or kerosene), give it a good flush with clean oil diluted with solvent...drain, and then give it fresh oil again.. run not more than 30 mins or an hour.. enough to get it really up to temp, drain well, and fill again. All before it goes back to work. Taking a chance on having a small oil drilling clogged with that gunk is not worth the time and materials to be sure it;'s right.

Thank you for taking the time to make this. It's a fair and critical review!

Reccap the device!

You made that removal look way too easy! Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for your video! Though I missed some practical steps to “get there” this video helped me doing the job myself. Saved myself 300 euros by ordering a 30 euro part. I have a left hand drive duster 2 from 2018, it is located indeed just above (like 25 cm above) the gas pedal. My screw was missing already, so that tells me the part has been replaced before… made the job easier for me though 😊. Anyway: be aware I have manual airco, that requires a different part then cars with automatic/ climate control systems. Just make sure you get the right part. I was done within 30 minutes, researching on the internet took me about 3 hours. 😂

Looks fabulous ❤😊

Good day,. i have kind of a random question so here i go. I will be coming to Corfu in september on my first ever solo travel at 47. Greece is my absolute favorite country to travel to. I am trying to learn the language and am looking for someone to meet up with for a couple of lessons as i am there. I am kind of a shy person but i know that if i want to learn the language i need to actually start talking. I am still in the beginner stages and would love to move away from that. Do you know of someone who would be willing to meet with me? It doesn't have to be a 'real' teacher at all. I will be staying in Gouvia, Have a lovely rest of your sunday. Juliette from Holland xxx

How do I get a job fo rme and my hubbie in corfu I am SERIOUS. I have twins of 8 and a 9 year old and a husband.....I want to relocatet asap! But battling to find work

Thank you for this video, very informative.

Good video - in my opinion halfords advanced fit in a good position, quality is better than cheap unbranded and even cheaper branded tools (e.g. Draper, Stanley), but way cheaper than expensive brands you mentioned like Stahlwille, Facom, Hazet, Snapon etc. Good for DIY mechanics like myself who don't want to waste time with bad tools that can get you into trouble rounding bolts etc. A relative has a bunch of similarly priced stuff from Clarke (Machine Mart) which also looks OK but I think I prefer my halfords kit to be honest. The modular trays are brilliant I have almost a complete set now excluding the pliers and screwdrivers where I think there are better choices (Knipex and Wera respectively) as anyone working at home will use those a lot.

Just bought one they are rubbish

i totally agree this is for the money is a rip off I'm in dispute with Haynes for i do all my own work and the other manual were brill for torque specs etc these are a total wast of my money and time come on Haynes get it sorted waiting on answer from Haynes

Hi James here I Have a Hymer 1990 and I can't get it to start got the fuel pump taken out and redone and she still won't turn over do you have any idea what this could be your help is much appreciated

Every time i empty my basket now i am going to call the debris "rubbish". Thanks for the amazing overview of this product!!

Hi Ross, thank you for posting this. I own a Villa near Kassiopi in Corfu. It is run as a company and we have been paying Greek Tax for more than two years so I think we are able to also apply for this grant from the Government to get a solar system. Is your system all up and working? If so, could you help me apply? Not sure if its in your line of work but since I live in London would you be interested in also quoting for your time in getting our Villa set up with the same system you have? Using the same electrician would make sense if they were good? No hurry, could be done over next winter when you may have more time? Regards Charlie

You are dead on. I regrettably purchased the AutoFix product, due to there not being a printed version for my car. There is a grand total of ONE guides for my car. The rest are generic tutorials that are less useful than youtube. I remember the printed manuals had a guide for changing every damn bolt in the car. I feel swindled...

This was the problem with my 3000 as well, thanks for this video. I originally thought it was the broken armature winding connection being shown in several videos here on UA-cam because when I banged in on the side it would work briefly. Also, if I put a clamp across either side of it to apply some pressure it would work. But those connections were good and there was continuity through both windings. So after coming across your video I took it back apart and started looking at the spade/lug terminals between the switch housing and the stator housing. Sure enough, they also showed signs of arcing, and on one of them the receptacle was very loose, one half of it was a bit bent and deformed and it was quite dark from arcing. In my case I was able to take a micro sized jewellers screwdriver and bend the deformed half of that receptacle into a position that tightened up the connection and it works fine for now. BTW... while mine is about 6 years old, it has been used very lightly and infrequently and has never been used for the the type of stuff you used it for. I therefore think that your heavy use was not the problem, it's a design flaw. The heavy use would surely cause the failure to occur sooner though for all the reasons you mention.

Great video thanks for the insight, saved me spending money on a digital version! Cheers Ese from New Zealand

Well, despite your warnings I ordered a Haynes autofix manual for my BMW X1 and you are right, It is waisted money. Half the manual is about generic actions to take and NOT about the X1.

Led headlights are way brighter forsure a bout these ones took them out next day 😂😂

Good honest review. Like u I have a good mixture of tool brands. The Halfords ratchet is short and I have a long ratchet on the shopping list. Might splash the cash for a koken.

Great video thanks, I own multiple Halfords sockets sets, old 170, 200, new 200 plus the through thread set which I think are great, but I still use my silverline spanner set for most things as the thickness as you say can get in the way. Basically US Pro / Nielson or Halfords Pro will get me fixing most things. cheers

That is normal to all resorts it's only season work summer is busy 5 to 6 months if lucky winter's are harsh and not enjoyable for tourists

i dont seeing people at beaches at all anyway

Is there an alterntive to Haynes?

Great review fella thanks. I'm just about to pull the trigger on one and I'm getting a rather attractive deal to boot. Had an s series, convinced it would be fine, against my better judgement. and it was fine but left much to be desired. This time I shall be getting the m600. m700 appears the exact same machine, with additional 'smart' features, that probably won't work either. I'll scratch that one (maybe an extra years warranty for the price). I really don't understand why these companies don't subby out their software to someone competent. I just want it to work, the other stuff is a bonus, hopefully they've sorted it I like being able to monitor my pool. Wish I had have gotten my last chlorinator wifi connected. Speaking of which. You say you add chlorine? I've got a reverse polarity (self cleaning) chlorinator cell. All I do is chuck a bit of acid in at the end of the week.... and a boatload of salt when the wet season comes admitedly.. some liquid chlorine definitely handy that time of year but generally i find as long as I've got the acid right it's all good... any dramas some more acid quickly eliminates them (the stuff growing in the pool seems to suffer a much quicker death from higher acid levels then higher chlorine levels). Thanks for the heads up on the flow with the filters too. I just put the fine filters in but perhaps I might be better off with letting the flow be higher to get the big stuff and perhaps do the occasional fines run. Actually I was thinking of ordering a second basket so I can just swap one out and chuck it back in then clean the filter.. perhaps i could have different filter set ups on both (now I think of it one major reason I got the s400 over the m was the old m filter basket was a horrific pain in the arse to clean). Great video. No wonder a man reeking of such competence lives in such grandeur. (you knew what you were doing with you little spin arounds...)

Very informative, thank you! What I do miss if you use IP-TV in your house, and if that IP-TV signal is passed through all nodes and switches without a problem? I'm reading into this now and to my understanding all network devices need to support "IGMP Snooping" to be able to handle IP-TV signal traffic. What model switches are you using, and are there IP-TV settop boxes (your TV provider) connected to them?

Hi, yeah it could be very scarry. Has it turned out what caused the fire?

Thank you for the informing

Very interesting. Your breakeven point in the UK would be a whole lot later - just about the time when everything needs replacing...

Rossy is BACK, baby!

Where’s the place to find a decent workshop manual these days,I need one for a Seat Altea ?

When it comes to french well obviously " Facom " but its easy to see why snap on offer such latitude on their replacement policy ? because of their exorbitant pricing in the first place ! if they are so good how come they ever brake the first place! they charge so much so as to pay the reps to come round in a van , ! The first company to do that was KAMAZA, \Snap on tools break , they justify the price paying guys to go round pro workshops.

I don't understand why the torque specs are so different even on bolts that should be symmetrical ? thank you for your review ! it saved me 30€ :)

They have ruined themselves as a reputable automotive maintenance manual company. the Autofix editions are nothing but copy and paste of generic systems. I changed the turbocharger on a 2014 Astra, And all it had was about a paragraph of useless info with copy and paste of that same picture of safety goggles & those green gloves 😂😂 Autofix cancelled and got a refund after seeing how useless to me the manual was, Pure crap...... UA-cam is free, Better puttjng the £26 towards parts or new tools

I bought one for the BMW E60. It’s garbage to be honest, haven’t used it what so ever. Luckily I then found one of the original hard copies.

Good morning. How is Corfu for having a smallish power boat (5-6m), possibly on a trailer? Regards from New Zealand.

Each car i have owned always purchased a 2nd hand haynes manual was going to buy one for my new Volvo can only buy the online manual was thinking about it but like other people have said the website is vague and did a search on youtube found this video thanks alot will not be bothering will by watching other people servicing there Volvo's and get more info off them.

Thankyou I almost bought one. Do you recommend a good home mechanic manual.

facom manufactures the ratchets, sockets and spanners for halfords i think.

Can I ask what you plan is for your little boy to go to school there?

Thank You!

Sounds like Haynes is trying to stay relevant and still make money in a digital age at the expense of people like me who recall the manuals of old as being "gospel" and would have fallen for this. What really annoys me is that Haynes was filling a huge void, and now no one is. As a rank amateur, I just can't get hold of workshop manuals for the cars I need to maintain, and I can't afford an AllData subscription for the infrequent amount of access I need to that data. There's actually an opportunity for AllData to sell "one month access" to people like me (and yes, I know about their DIY thing but that doesn't appear to be available to me in the UK, I was told to move along). I'd really like to know if anyone knows the best place to find workshop manuals for simple things like Ford Fiesta, Kia Sportage, and Vauxhall Corsa D (etc, bound to be more in the future)

Thanks for this video, I just did this on my 2018 Dacia Duster LHD, i am far from a mechanic, it was quite tricky but my fan works again! Very happy it worked!

I miss the old complete Haynes Manuals i buy "Ford Fiesta Petrol & Diesel (2008-2012) Haynes Online Manual" and its very coll. And im about to buy the one for 2020 Fiesta and wen i see its a AutoFix "generic" i get disapointed.

Incredible video! They charge around 3K pounds in Sweden to exchange this at the mechanic 😮

I have a 21 plate sandero. I have no fans on any speeds. All dead. Any thoughts?

I have questions I have asus axe-16000 If I connect to switch netgear And connect node asus router Is aimesh work fine to main router All wire[axe-16000 -> switch netgear -> node asus ]
