@@projectclark123 cheers…I mostly do videos for myself in the hope that it helps someone out there from time to time. I tried to do the UA-cam thing originally but nowadays I just do videos I enjoy or that could help other people

@@cotney05 awwww OK mate

Cheers appreciate the comment …I just do me some people like it some people don’t and I’m good with that

@cotney05 you've inspired me to convert my bike into a bob job of sorts, ill try not to copy u too much aha 😄

Best bet for side panels would be decent second hand jobbies I don’t think you can get new anymore… I maybe wrong. What’s wrong with the engine? They are fairly simple to rebuild

Haha muppet

Haha sounds dangerous…I like it lol, it’s half full of fuel at the moment so I best drain it and let it sit for a bit then otherwise I might get more of a bang then I bargained for haha

Lol, Já take out the fuel and leave it open for a couple of hours. It's only a real danger if it's closed. Leaving the filler open and just a 1 second squirt of EasyStart will be harmless. It will pop, don't get me wrong. But it's not going to rip it to pieces

@@geimfarinn well...two of my mates told me to plug the hole in the tank and pump air into it...so i made an adapter with a tyre valve in it and connected it to a stirrup pump...started pumping and the dent started popping out got to about 70% removed then the tank blew the adaptor out and blew itself off the frame...it has bowed the inside out and pushed itself off its mounts and the frame, and i still have a little dent lol...the inside has blown out...i was mad at that point and just put my bike away. i will see if i can save it today and do an update video

Cheers going to go brown grips too I think

Possibly yea I would sell them

@@cotney05 excellent are you on Facebook ?

@@cotney05 sweet! Have you got Facebook or WhatsApp??

She was obviously a good bike previously as she has 30,000 miles on the clock which is quite impressive for a little 125 I think

@@cotney05 It is impressive. Solid enginge and electrics. Lack of oil flow killed mine after 60,000+ miles. Don't know how that happened. My only complaint was the sump plug being more like a cap with a mesh screen behind it. It will leak without a new rubber O ring. An odd design.

@@MotoTourIreland yes I’ve been reading about oil starvation issues so top of the list this week is order new oil and filter…I need to get the electric starter off it also as it’s seized and I’m hoping I can rebuild it. Have to remove the engine covers to do that from what I’ve read

@@cotney05 oil starvation, blocked galleries ? Change the oil every 3,000 miles ? It may help. Obviously the bike you have has been looked after.

New wiring loom has since fully fixed this van

@@cotney05 Mmmmm. I was afraid you were going to say that. Thanks.

@@cotney05 Is fitting a wiring loom really difficult or is it quite straightforward ? Of course it's a matter of skills and experience. Sounds like a ball break. Ta

@@cotney05 I did get some short circuit Fault codes. These ones.....P1806 Short circuit to battery 4 wheel drive ( its not 4 wd as far as I know ). P1814 same as P1806. P1802 Transmission Clutch interlock safety switch short circuit to battery. P1802 the same Transmission Clutch safety lock. ..... Did you get anything like those ? Thanks.

@@jackspratt4343 I didn’t change the loom someone else did and they fitted the wrong one. Van wouldn’t rev past 2 grand and smoked white smoke bad. They only had two wires for the map sensor so I stole the missing 5v reference from the blanked off egr and bobs your mums brother

Or, go to a decent parts shop that can look up the vehicle plate and identify which is the correct size from the outset. That's what I did. And handily, they had both the bearing and the ABS sensor on the shelf (the old bearing had taken out the old sensor by grinding a groove into it with all the rust).

In the end I wired a manual switch to it and ran it into the car . I had changed temp sensor and it didn’t fix it. All relays were fine and fan came on when I ran 12v to it . I personally think I either had a dash cluster problem or ecu not commanding the fan to come on. Either way tan a switch and car was sweet. Till the wife decided she didn’t want to drive a manual anymore and made me sell it to get her an auto.

sad i just bought one i think they are good car but they have those problem with fan and temp i live in hot weather maybe the resistance of fan was bad the green switch i had also lot problem of temperature and cooling system @@cotney05

Just the box. You need to make sure the speedo drive is the same but otherwise went straight in no modifications other then changing gear knob from a 5 to a 6 speed. This van ended up with an unrelated electrical issue that the owner convinced himself was down to the box so he had me replace it at a later date with another 5 speed. It wasn’t his issue lol ended up a whole new wiring loom was required but as I stated unrelated to the gearbox conversion

Yes a gt tdi sport. Not my vehicle though

Comes up 1.9 when I searched parts and that’s what went on it lol

Wrong 1.9 DW8 Engine

Thanks for the positive comment

He’s a mate …I did him a favour he was on his arse and couldn’t work without his van and didn’t have much money to fix it

Yea we had one snap off on the other side. Electronics is not my forte this way works good for me lol. If I upgrade my code reader then I could of just put it in service mode so that’s probably the route I will have to go in the long run as more and more cars have electronic handbrakes nowadays

Definitely getting more complicated that's a fact. I did a Golf a few weeks ago and when I tested it after all the ABS and traction control lights came on even though I'd only done the pads. Turned out when I'd plugged the cables back in the pins had bent in the socket. Nightmare that was trying to bend them back by just the right amount without being able to see them properly. It's always the simple jobs that often end up as dramas

Oh also there was a video by @sargeisdope5370 where they replaced the top plastic hose from behind the head to the overflow tank as it was clogged. Might be relevant?

I’m going to be honest I’ve just left it with the coolant temp sensor unplugged so fan is on constant and it hasn’t been an issue. I’ve been up to my eyeballs in egr faults on various cars recently. I should really look at the fiesta again but it’s the wife’s learner car so I haven’t had a “need” too

It’s called trying to fix not how to

I thought these were 5’s …thought the 6 was the more pointy bugger lol

Only in Uk they call it mk6 but elsewhere it is the mk5 with facelift

I personally am not a van man. In all honesty only can that I like is the old vw t25/t3. Had a couple of van versions that I made campers inside with tv games consoles massive sound system etc bk when I was a “dubber”…these vivaros aren’t bad vans to be fair and tend to look better in comparison to say a same aged transit. Transit will be a rot box…but they’re good vans in themselves also but for the rot and the fact they get stolen a lot….the owner of this vivaro bought it to replace his transit which had been stolen. And he won’t thank me for saying it but his old transit was a shed lol

@@cotney05 Thank you for your quick reply. My mate just sold two old VW campers with fiberglass roof, T3 I think. He moved house and really had to get rid of them, no room, he was gutted. Yeah, Fords rust too easily, same for Sprinters. A Good gearbox to begin with on a Vivaro and regular oil changes (with the right oil and amount) and I guess not going hard on the gears or driving around hilly country (15% climbs) too often, especially loaded up; should help one last. My old Talbot Express is 30 years old, still going strong but hey! 5 years in and I want a lower roof with a completely different layout and simply something nicer to drive. Thanks again Cotney.

I hear you there. Always someone needs a favour when your handy with the spanner’s and everybody is worst off then you. Since this video I have put a stop to favours etc because like you said they’re rarely returned. Sad but true

@@cotney05 When I stopped doing the favours, my few real friends stayed, the rest disappeared under a rock. It took a while to notice but they'd invite me round for a drink or barbecue, wait until I was merry and then...Hey mate, I was wondering if you could...you know how it goes. The invites eventually decreased from those that just really wanted a cheap or free Joiner but also handy with many other things like; plastering, tiling, bricklaying, electrical, washing machines and PC's. One of my old bosses said, good mates pay the fair going price but offer you the work first, this is how it should be tbh. I must admit, Once I stopped all those homers as we call them, it felt like I was semi retired, I also started drinking way less (less invites to those parties and barbeques) and have more money in my pocket. You've done the right thing Cotney, pity I didn't learn this until I was in my early forties.

Cheers for that…will do thermostat next then…it’s the wife’s car and she’s learning to drive so it has been sat for best part of a week. I was using regular recently as my car needed a clutch so it’s been really reliable , I will leave it another couple days and see if batteries still good…thanks for the heads up

No just 180nm I believe ….can’t remember where I read it but obviously checked torque specs before I torqued it

It’s one I’ve been struggling with to be honest too…all seems to test fine electrically but doesn’t work no matter what I tried…I’m thinking of changing the coolant header tank and cap for new because apparently if they don’t seal well system can’t get upto pressure so coolant boils sooner and ecm can’t get right signal to turn fan on…as soon as I figure out the issue I will do a follow up video

And me I've got the same problem with the same car the water get out with high pressure but I don't know how to solve it

@@ahmedelsayed1351 I am 100% confident mine is not head gasket related but is a possibility on these little fiestas

​@@ahmedelsayed1351I've got the same issue did you find the solution??

Did you ever find a solution??

thanks appreciate the feedback. happy i could help

Lol so your one of them numptys ….auto box died thing wouldn’t move under its own power couldn’t get parts to repair that weren’t 25 year old second hand parts so yea wrecked it . It did still start two or three times after that it had to be winched onto a low loader…and I destroy cars all the time I really don’t give a sh*t just a car I will get another then another then another then another lmao

Thanks for the reply. Cleaned maf sensor today using contact cleaner and a soft toothbrush and very delicately cleaned . Didn’t help at all …even if I unplugged the maf it still wouldn’t rev and as a rule usually you unplug maf and ecu goes into a default setting and will work but use more fuel. No joy with this one. So I’m assuming maf is good and it’s something else. But still martin (the owner) is off to get a maf a map and a boost solenoid this morning so we can fire the parts cannon at it. Which I don’t advise anyone does, but bar taking it to an auto electrician I’m all of ideas

Requires a siemans maf sensor, the old vivaro suffers same issue. Will rev very slowly unplugged by default if unplugged though. New maf fixed this issue on mine anyway, but also I have an existing bypassed map and boost control valve done by prior owners.

@@expresslockscardiff nah tried everything with this old girl in the end it was an issue With the 6 speed conversion. She has her old 5 speed bk in well it’s a 4 speed since it has no 2nd gear lol and she’s running spot on again. Brucey bonus in all the messing about trying to fix this I’ve inadvertently fixed the only starting with easy start issue lol …don’t ask me how but it now starts on the button. The owner bought it starting on easy start and has been running it for around a year like it lol

well I had the same problem there was a breather pipe on the top of the diesel tank and it add cracked I just wrapped mine up in installation tape that was 5 years ago and it's still works
