Fitting a Tow Bar to my camper

I couldn't justify paying £700 for a tow bar to carry 2 push bikes, so I modified a generic tow bar to fit. I would only use this for light stuff as it was modified copy me at your own risk ;-)

How to Paint Wheels Two Tone
Переглядів 47 тис.4 роки тому
In this video I rub down the curb rash and paint my wheels. Wait 15 - 20 mins between coats of paint, i used a heat gun to help with paint curing as my garage was cold. In total it was 4hrs per wheel.

Garage wants £370 to do both.I'll do it myself.
Good content, however use two spring clamps and keep your face as far as possible from the shock spring assembly. Safety first. LOL.
Thanks for the video. I've just replaced mine this morning. Saved me a few quid. Top man.
Garage quoted £580 to do one top strut two drop bar links and two outer tie rods i think ill give it ago myself.
That went well 👍 ive now subscribed for any more stuff on the vivaro
Thank you
Thats how I do mine as well 👍🏼
Hello, good, I hope you can help me, I have a Renault Trafic well because I can't find the solution and I hope you can help me, thanks in advance for the video, I explain that when you turn the steering wheel and especially to the right and at slow speed everything vibrates. the steering wheel to the dashboard, when you turn two thirds of the steering wheel or when you are doing a maneuver, if you accelerate it a little you don't notice the vibration at all. The fact is that if you go on the road, it turns, etc., it works well only in reletin or when you are doing a maneuver. The oil has been changed, the filter has been cleaned, it has a new ball joint, but I have seen that the top part of the shock absorber is a little bit out as in the video and I don't know if the duct part should be closed all the way down to the base part. of the shock absorber, could it be the cups that are bad in my case?
I changed my top shock bearings and replaced them with taper roller bearings, they are still going strong after 140000 miles, they also take the impact from pot holes better as they take the upward force from the strut unlike the Renault bearings.
Please What taper roller bearings did you use as I been trying to find some for when I lower my van was going to do it at same time and was looking at using different sort
Why did you opt for a paint job over powder coating?
You need Fernox F3, Thank me later...😂
Thank you buddy, exactly the info I needed. I can order the parts now. Cheers
Are you sure you installed the bearing in the correct direction? In the manufacturer's images, it looks like the protruding central part should be facing upwards.
Would you have to breed your brakes after
Only if you remove caliper or loosen banjo on it which you don't need to do unless your a twit so no don't open braking system don't need to bleed etc 🫡
It needs to go through both plates.. a thief will just use a screw driver and bend the top plate of the swivel over the lock and force it round.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks, this vid helped me diagnose my broken stabalizer rod
Don't actually need spring compressors on these, spring isn't under tension when out the van. I'm a vauxhall tech working on these vans day in day out. Excellent work though mate 👍
Cheers mate exactly what I needed just to see what’s involved top bloke
top job, thanks, doing mine tomorrow.
Thankyou for this video, going to do mine this week now thanks to you!
Great job - they look sophisticated by not being in your face - just a subtle tone change.
thankyou for the video, going to do mine this week A+++
Do you need to get the tracking done after this job? thanks.
Brilliant, this is what i needed, now il do it myelf. Thanks.👍
Thanks mate. Id been reading people on the facebook club try and explain but you've really helped me and a lot of people here. May i suggest a gofundme for this kind of video. Id be happy chucking a few quid your way for the time and effort youve put in. And the massive savings for everyone!
Excellent video… my job next weekend!
Nice Job 👏👏👏

Jack any chance of an update vid? Things really starting to get interesting. 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
fantastic idea
air filter depends on the engine..the pink air filter fits the m271 kompresssor models..the incorrect air filter fits the m274 models
My hero, thanks boss! Made my day.
have completed top shock mount due to bearing failure any idea why i have 20mm gap at the top when loaded with wieght seems sock rod is too long will drive ok on test
Yeah I have the same issue since I changed the top mounts. Have you managed to sort this out? Spoke to Vauxhall and they said all top mounts are the same thinking I had brought the wrong ones or something. Vauxhall said some vans come with different springs, is yours a LWB by any chance?
@@TheStressD no mate SWB the springs are the only thing i have not changed the only other thing i can think of if it has anything to do with the assembly of the strut ie tension on the half nut that holds every thing together
@@georgecroker4911 Its weird that quite a few people share the same issue, I wonder what it could be. I read somewhere it could be due to a couple of bolts in the subframe but they weren't specific which wasn't exactly helpful.
Surely just taking the hub to a garage and getting a new bearing put in would be a better option? If you were worried about down time of the van you could have put the new bearing in the scrap hub.
For oil its 5w30 or 5w40 ?
What are the symptoms of a bad bearing clunking when turning I thought was drop links changed them still clunking drivers side
Exactly that, clanking, it's easy to take out to inspect if not sure
@@iknowjack4693 thanks will give it a bash
Super pozdrawiam 👍
Nice one bro, cheers heaps 🙏
Did u ever finish the nc30 ?
Unfortunately other projects got in the way, I'm hoping to finish the body work this summer, 🤞
Any News about the fairings?
Jack, I,ve done this all, and my vans passed MoT, can't find anything wrong with entire suspension, but still makes knocking noise on rough roads, and vibrates through steering, what can this be please? Exactly same as your van, thnx Brian (Dover)
I'm no mechanic, but my wheel bearing did the same? I changed the hub. Other than that I have no idea. Hope you get it sorted
@@iknowjack4693 Thanks, it looks like a strut which the sub chassis bit hangs from the main chassis.
What brand of clear coat did you use ? Did the shine last?
Simonize clear lacquer. I have seen the car around town and they still look good 👍
Hello, at 8,23 mins if you zoom into the original bearing it shows the shoulder was facing upright. And then when fitting you have fit it facing down. Whys that? Thanks.
The original bearing was destroyed. Have a look at a pdf drawing. It should show the correct way
Ive just changed one today that i had done 4 months ago and i put it the way you and alot of others explain to do it. But i also have a photo of the inner race of the bearing. And the shoulde or stepped side has a thin piece of material to hold the balls into it. But on the flat side of it there is 3mm of material to hold the ball in. And because i fit the bearing stepped side down it collapsed.
@@Davidjg23 dont know why yours collapsed, I did it the way I was told by a mechanic
Ah ok. Im just asking as ive changed these 4 months ago and did what i was told by others and it failed. I am a mechanic myself but everydays a school day no matter how long you are at it. Thanks for your replys.
I also having the same Mercedes w204 2010year does it have a fuel filter
Hi john, I'm not sure if it has a fuel filter, It was just for the channel, I sold the car after I finished the refurbishment. Sorry I cant help
Probably the best video on the change of top mount vivaro
Cheers mate 👍
Was your top rubber washer in the engine bay tight against the body work when you were finished
No there was a small gap.
Thank you for getting back to me I've just done both all the same as the video even got an old mechanic to have a look but my black top rubbers are over an inch away from the body work and every one on the vivaro groups saying its normal so confusing
@@Dji.nut.86 yeah, that was the response I got when querying the gap. I have had no issues since doing mine. 👍
I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually thank you for the responds your videos are mega helpful 👍
@@Dji.nut.86 have the same issue, the plate that goes in top of the buttresses theres like a 10mm+ gap and it doesn't look right. Did you manage to find out what the issue is?
Thank you, first ithought want to do silver and black tone. But dark grey looks more nice!
Did you put the sensor back? 🤔
Brilliant video many thanks 🙏
