Thanks for the comment. The car did have axle stands underneath. When I am doing a fairly quick job, on a car that doesn’t have really sturdy points to position axel stands, I support the car on the jacks, but I have axle stands under the car incase a jack should fail.

I’m glad you liked it. I must admit, most of the time, I forgot we were filming!

Thanks for the comment. It seems people love it or hate it!

Hi, it’s a 2018.

Thanks for the comment. I have finished the install, and I’m driving the car. I have all of the footage, I’m just trying to find the time to edit the videos. The next instalment should be out in the next few days. Is your install on a ZT?

Yes i have an 04 mustang gt with the 4.6 and ive got the top manifold off im just trying to find an installation video considering i do not have the instruction manual

I think I paid £40-£50 for the manual from Kenne Bell, it arrived quickly as well.

I’m pretty sure that was a drain, but it’s in a weird convoluted tube. It wasn’t the sensor.

Thanks for pointing him in the right direction. 👍🏼

Sorry for the slow reply! I’m really busy at the moment. I’m pretty sure that I give the part number in the video. I don’t think I gave the supplier information, I will rewatch the video and see. If I didn’t include it, I will look it up, and add it to the description.

The adaptive cruise control uses the radar in the lower grille and the camera in the windscreen. Maybe the water is affecting these somehow? I have had issues with it when I have condensation on the inside of the windscreen. Sometimes the inside of the windscreen is clear, but the area where the camera is, is still misty as the housing stops the demisting (if that makes sense?)

Thanks for the comment. The supercharger is from a Dreadnought car, so I am currently using that map. I think I will be adding forged rods and pistons, then a new map through Chris.

@superjumboracing ahh good so you have a ECU that allready has the dreadnought map on it i am guessing, good luck with this build I will be watching this closely as I also own #473 ZT-T

Thanks for the comment. I plan on upgrading to forged rods and pistons. In the meantime I have added a Link knock sensor, and have an Inovate dual wideband A/F ratio gauge going on shortly. The Teksid with forged internals sounds really nice!

My cover is a bespoke/tailored indoor cover. The manufacturer says the cover is washing machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius, but not tumble dry able. I hope that helps.

Thanks for the comment. I’m glad the video was helpful.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, on my car I already had everything else factory added. I just needed the switch pack, and to program it.

@superjumboracing Do you know if all cars have the radar as standard or how I can tell if it has a radar installed already? Mine has the front facing camera for lane assist which I've heard is needed for the ACC to work.

I don’t think all of the Giulias have the radar already fitted, but I could be wrong! The radar should be behind the shiny plastic part in the front grille, I don’t know if you can remove the cover, and physically look for the radar module behind? Does your car have autonomous breaking, as surely that must use the radar?

​@@GitheadJrfrom what I have read all UK models have the radar and camera fitted as standard. Depending on the options taken for whoever purchased the car from new would depend on what other hardware is fitted (ie Buttons) and software enabled. For instance my Giulia Speciale did not have auto beam, AAC+ fitted, however by adding the ACC+ buttons and enabling it along with the auto beams in the software, it works. If you are not from the UK then one give away might be the 'FCW (forward collision warning'. This uses the radar to scan the road ahead, therefore if you have that plus the camera then you should be able to install without issue.

@samuel623 thanks for replying. I have the forward collision warning as well as the auto lights and lane departure warning. I'm going to enquire about getting adaptive cruise programmed when my Alfa Romeo warranty runs out!

Thanks for the comment, I’m glad the video was useful. I will have a look and see if I can find the torque value.

@superjumboracing found it, 77 ft-lbs.

That’s great information. Well done!

Thanks for the comment. You are not wrong there. Fortunately the school runs are now over.

Thanks for the comment. The Aston did look very good in the blue. It helps that they are a pretty car!

Thanks for the comment. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. You are correct about greasing the contact points on the callipers, and pads. I have found that these brakes require more grease than other cars I have worked on. Obviously though without the possibility of getting any on the friction surfaces!!

Thanks for the comment. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. When I’m making them, you hope they might be interesting, it great to hear feedback, that someone has enjoyed it! I wouldn’t leave an SV outside, but maybe in one of the car storage bubbles, like a Carcoon?

Thanks for the comment. I don’t want to say it too loud, but it has been trouble free!

I owned a pretty heavily modified Fox 5.0 Mustang for 20 years, I also owned two third gen Z/28 Camaros. They were a rare sight in the UK!

Thanks for the comment. I need to get a better microphone, as the car sounds so good at all RPM levels, but it doesn’t really pick it up.

Thanks for the comment. I’m really glad the video was useful. The pads do seem to make quite a bit of noise with these brakes, I put some brake assembly grease on, but I will put a bit more on next time!

Thanks! 😊

Thanks for the comment. I didn’t know that about tapping the accelerator, I will check it out.

Thanks for the comment. I bought my MultiECUscan from Gendan. I purchased other leads, so I could use it on my son’s Fiat, so that added to the cost. I would give Gendan a call, they are really helpful. I paid £158.90 for everything I needed. On my car, I just needed the switch pack and the MultiECUScan. my car already had the front camera and the radar. So just make sure you know exactly what is needed. I hope that helps. 👍🏼

@@superjumboracing Thanks for the pointer, I have emailed their sales team this evening. Picked the car up today and am looking forward to tailoring her to my needs. Did yours come with the automatic high beam? I'm also hoping to be able to find a way of removing the beeping when locking and unlocking, i had it on a previous alfa and it wound me up no end.

I hope you’re enjoying your Giulia, car collection day, is always an exciting one! My car did come with auto high main beam (someone went to town with the options!) It works pretty well I think. Not as fast as a human, but not that far off. The lock beep outside your house in the early hours of the morning sounds like a fog horn! Good luck with your car.👍🏼

⁠@@superjumboracingHi, how do you know if you have the camera required? my car has the crash detection feature, aka the automatic braking and the radar on the front grille, does this mean I could fit this? I have a 2019 giulia quadrifoglio

​@@superjumboracingfinally got round to fitting the new button cluster today. It fought me all the way getting it off and back on again. Luckily I had no breakages and it went back in reasonably straightforward. Think I'm the opposite to you, I struggled more with the fitting of the buttons than I did with the reprogramming of the car. In total took me about 1hr30 including test drive. I was at least an hour messaging around with the buttons though. I had previously enabled the auto beams which seem to work well. I did have an issue with constant 'FCW not available -Clean Screen' messages. I found a spider had moved inside the camera compartment and had built some webs obstructing it. On cold days it would build condensation on the webs. Cleaning it out was pretty straightforward and put some rainx anti fog on the screen there too. One to look out for in future.

That’s not good! I’m afraid I can’t help with that one.

I’m glad it helped.

Thanks for the offer of help with the hairspring. I did find one in my spares though, but thanks anyway.

@superjumboracing You're welcome....Please could you tell me which brand of upholstery adhesive I should use to stick the material onto my Rover 75 Tourer headlining. Mine is out of the car and on a long table ready to have the material attached. I watched your headlining videos but didn't catch the name on the can of squirty adhesive that you used. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, in anticipation.....John. (John's MG Rover parts, here in Sunny Yorkshire).

Hi John, I hope I’m not too late, I missed the second part of your comment. I used “Fix-it adhesives, fast fix extreme high temperature spray adhesive” for the headliner and I used their standard high heat spray on the door cards. I also used a cheaper product called Trim-Fix adhesive high temperature adhesive spray. They all seemed to work well, but time will tell. I think the important part is it needs to be a high temperature adhesive. I hope that helps.

Thanks for the great comment, I really appreciate it. I should put the items I use in the description! The other parts of the heading job are already on my channel.

Thanks for your Trim-Fix recommendation. I bought 3 tins, 500g. I used 2 tins to lay on a lavish amount of adhesive. The headlining had been replaced at some time and it was dangling like soggy curtains in the middle, extending the full length. ...It was easy to remove the lining from the base, AND...the backing was sponge and undamaged. I started by sticking down the middle, and then after this was stuck down, worked around the sides. Reason being, the middle of the headlining can be subject to tension if you just stick everything and flatten down the middle towards the sides. ANYWAY........IT WORKED....so, I'm Mr. Smartypants. Sidenote....After reattaching the headlining, I read the small print on the tin. It said 'Not suitable for headlinings'. Well....it certainly worked. Thanks for your help. You're a Star. High 5s all round.

Thanks for the comment. I don’t think we have driving assist in the UK. What does it do?

It keeps you in your lane

Thanks for the comment. The leather sounds nice! 👍🏼

Thanks for the comment. I cover turning the steering wheel to clear fault codes in one of my battery videos. Unfortunately for the cruise control video, it didn’t work, I could only clear them with the Multiecuscan.

Thanks for the comment, and the information. My car is a late 2018, I will look into the software update.

@@superjumboracing mine is also late 2018. I asked authorized service for the recall update, but they said they couldn’t do it. If you find a solution please let us know. Thanks!

Thanks for the nice comment. It’s probably really obvious, but I can’t think what tcr stands for, would you mind explaining please?

@superjumboracing traffic sign recognition have a nice day

Thanks for the explanation, I didn’t see any sign of that in the setting options. I wonder if it’s not an option on UK market cars? I will look the next time I connect the computer to the car though.

Glad it helped

I will look into it, but from memory I think it is a normal thread, but the bolt head is facing away from you so although I am turning clockwise, I am still turning to the left. (I hope that makes sense?).

I’m sorry you are having issues. Are you losing coolant from the lower coolant reservoir? My car still had a warranty, so it was covered by that. I think the cost would have been around £325’ish. I haven’t looked into what is involved in the work, but the parts cost is very small.

I bought my switch from Shop4parts in the Uk. Multiecuscan asked me to connect the grey adapter connector, so I would assume you would also need it. But can’t guarantee it.

@@superjumboracing disregard I don’t have the front camera on my 2019 Giulia

That’s a shame.

It’s a Navall Star. it’s a pretty old Chinese unit. There is a newer system made by Ersin now.

Thanks for the comment. I have been told it isn’t possible to have both systems operating.

@@superjumboracing but shouldn't it just be some software you need to add or is not possible because those cars are not outfitter with a torque motor for the steering wheel?

I think you are correct, it is a hardware issue.

Thanks for the comment. I will go back into the system and try enabling CC, and will see what happens.

I haven’t tried to enable CC as well, but I have now been told that it isn’t possible to enable ACC & CC.

@@superjumboracing Thanks

👍🏼

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the axle set of pads should wear at the same rate, unless you had something like a stuck piston, but I think you would probably notice something was wrong. I have my wheels off so often, that it’s easy for me to keep an eye on pad wear visually.

Hi, I must admit I haven’t. It has been such a busy year, that unfortunately I haven’t had the time with the cars that I hoped I would have. My content output has suffered as well. I will try the Pscan in the next week or so, and report back.

👍🏼

Thanks for the comment. It certainly gets quite a lot of attention on the road!

Thanks for the comment. It is a really nice cover, and it’s reassuring when I’m in and out of the garage, that it has some protection.

Thanks for the comment. On my car there was only one connector from the car wiring loom/harness, to the rear brake pads wear sensors. (It seems to only monitor one side?). My car is a UK right hand drive, so my pads had a connection for the pad wear sensor on the left hand side (passenger). The right hand side (driver side) fly lead from the brake pad was attached to the retaining clip on the calliper, but the actual plug wasn’t connected to anything (it is just left unplugged). I hope that helps.

He was showing you how it unplugged before working on that side ! When the job is done it's plugged back in obviously as the job is identical except for the sensor plug.

Thanks for the comment! They sell the Milano foam backed as 1 metre x 1.5 metre sizes. I ordered 2 of these. Just check that it will be a continuous piece 2 M x 1.5 M. I think that is how the send it anyway, but better to check. I don’t think you could do it with just a one metre piece, you also really want to have the material running in the same direction. I messed up one door card, and destroyed the material when trying to unstick it. Good luck with it.

@@superjumboracingperfect info, thanks. I got a trial foam-backed swatch from AS which will work colour-wise, so am ordering in the next couple of days. I'll make sure to get one 2M x 1.5M piece. Car strolled through its MoT today so I'll get going with the cards soon. 🙂

Also meant to ask how many cans of adhesive did you use please?

Good news on the MOT! I ended up using around one and a half cans, but I messed up one door card and had to do it again. I think I used more adhesive than I maybe needed to, but I didn’t want the bond to fail. I think you could probably just use one can, but I can’t be sure on that. My most important tip, is to try and follow the dips in the door card, when putting the material on, and to try and get the material into the dips without stretching, if that makes sense? For instance, don’t lay the material flat down over the complete door card, then try and stretch it down into the dips/recesses.

If you had someone who could assist you, to hold the material as you work it down, that would be really helpful. I hope it goes well!

Thanks for the comment 👍🏼 The headliner looks okay now. But I will redo the pillar covers.

Thanks for the comment. I love every drive in it!

For the future- it's NEVER the module!

Thanks for the reply. I agree that a sensor is often the most likely item at fault, but a number of years ago I had a problem and it was a faulty module. I think the high under bonnet temperatures on the V8 cars is a contributor to this.
