    True! I did my bam s cambelt few years ago.. it took an hour to realise that engine mount just has to stay there and work way aroud it. Well done Bryn! Not an easy job as a mobile mechanic.

    Just had the clutch changed on mine following a slave cylinder failure. Thought about doing it myself after watching your guide multiple times but decided to let a garage do it instead. Annoying thing was 800 miles prior I'd just dropped the subframe to do the downpipe and turbo which id followed your excellent videos on. I think one thing that puts people off the subframe is the one time use bolts and cost to replace them. The bolts are also starting to be come hard to get.

    As long as the arm...
    The £1k bargain isn't a bargain.
    Clutch slave cylinder went. Whilst in there sorted the clutch and fly wheel which were on their last legs.
    Now the corroded power steering pipes which I moved to do the clutch have given way and pee'd their juice onto the floor. Parts wise under £1k, but pita wise, annoying.
    I think it will be a nice car. When I have had the chance to drive it, fantastic. Lights at night have been awful. Another one for the list.

      Hi Bryn great informative video as always, nearly rebuilt my whole tt watching them, I've got a worrying problem, an acrid sweet smell in the cabin, and the windscreen condensates up when the blower is on, I suspect the heater matrix has failed either tgat or the flange connector o rings, any advice?

    • @BWSTT
      @BWSTT  4 місяці тому +1

      Yep, marking and transferring marks, then counting 68 teeth, and then confirming markers line up is the way to go! I’ve seen pulleys that have moved on the crank, this method will highlight that quickly, due to the way it confirms everything

    @StueyMonster 4 місяці тому +1

    Great vid Bryn! Using a pen to mark crank, cam(s) and belt like you've done and transferring these marks to the new belt means it's really easy to see if you've done it wrong... 2 full rotations of the crank and rechecking to be 100% sure. Good tips for everyone, thanks!

After charging me for the engine out and in job he insisted on charging full price for the cambelt on top. I was like mate, with the engine out the cambelt and water pump is like 10 min tops, how you want full price?

    I've got 3 at the moment. A 225 Coupe, a 225 Roadster, and a 180 FWD coupe. I'm doing the clutch on my 180 and I agree completely with you about the subframe. I - stupidly - pulled the trans out with the subframe still in place. There was no way I was going to try to get it back in without dropping it.
    Glad to see you under a TT again.
    I've heard that some people unbolt the bevel box from the trans and leave it bolted to the motor. Have you ever tried that?
