Can I Fix My Ford Transit Connect In Under 4 Hours? Watch Me Attempt To Beat The Clock!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- My Transit connect ran out of Mot in September 2021, so on a whim, I took it for a test hoping it would fly through with no advisories. Well, I was wrong it failed miserably. I've rebooked the Mot test for 4 o'clock in the afternoon giving me less than 4 hours to get all the faults fixed. Why do I do it to myself? count down the time with me, trying to fix all the faults. Will I get it all done by 4? Watch till the end to find out. A normal day for Reviving Salavage.

1st check for the leak.....rocker cover gasket......maybe??? loved the video....i feel your pain ha ha ha ha
I have always thought a car with a mot due in the winter is so much harder to deal with. Apart from that you saved your self some money by doing the work yourself well done 👏 👍👍
Yeah it always seems to be December or January lol... sometimes its easier to pay a garage lol
Fair play buddy, nice to see someone prepared to get there hands dirty, watch the kneeling all the time, you will regret it in later life, trust me as 69 year old with two arthritic knees, good luck to you, and looking forward to your videos.
I use to buy and sell cars learnt to weld arc welder then Mig welder in bought cheap m.o.t failer I have done a these jobs some are a pain well done to you you have done very well and showing everyone what is involved how to save money doing this work everyone will not be able to do this but they can see why they get a big bill from a garage doing some of these jobs love Ur chanel
I'm glad you enjoyed 😉 I would love to learn to weld , you can definitely pick up some bargains perhaps it's something to look at in the future. Sometimes it's easier to have a garage do it lol
Failed mot on the 19th January 2022 passed mot 27th January 2022 that's a little longer than 4 hours mate. Anyway have you realised the transit needs a new head yet ?
😂
1:22 -- See his watch, it says 12:15 27th
@@sammytheseal2307 Ok number 1 do you really believe everything you see on the internet his watch time and date proves nothing. Number 2 he insinuated that he only had 4 hours to complete the work as he had nothing to drive to work but he obviously did also as the van failed the mot on the 19th January he then had 21 days to rebook a test. So he had prior knowledge well before and all wasn't completed in the 4 hours he stated.
I have nothing to gain from liying ... I had 10 working days to get it retested as stated by the MOT garage. I bought the parts from eBay, and everything arrived apart from the droplinks. After waiting a couple of days I went to my local motorfactors to buy them instead... So that's why it took me that long to start the work... In the meantime I was actually walking to work & having lifts as my wife works as well & had the car... The 27th was the only day I had left to get it Mot due to work commitments, and yes, I only had 4 hours as it was booked in for the very last time slot in my local garage... It was dark when I got home, so I decided to wait to film the end for better video lighting... I hope that clears it all up ... As you can plainy see from my watch the time & date buddy... I hate liars I just don't get it; people will always get caught out in the end ... I pride my channel on being honest & upfront with everything I do, from day one... thanks for watching 👀
The 27th was the only day I had free buddy waiting for parts as well lol
Only discovered this channel today, but binge watching through all the videos. Love the honesty and openness to them. Subbed!!
You have done very well there.
Brilliant video thank u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good upload buddy,I know it's not easy working on motors outside on the ground this time of year while doing keep up the uploading👍
I'm glad you enjoyed 😉 I'm definitely glad I have a garage; it makes you realise how lucky I am now 👍
mate you should really invest in some basic tools that are gonna save you so much trouble you had in this video. C-ring pliers, table vice, such tools make the job so much easier.. Once you are tired nothing goes right....
I was just thinking that seen pound shop tools coming out fair play to him but I was wincing.
Good jack a d drill though😁
Been there done that mate 😉, get yourself some circlip pliers for the ball joint saves loads of time, I found out the hard way lol, also if you can a press makes light work putting them in, love your work mate so reminds me of myself
Great video mate. I always wondered how the suspension strut came out of the bottom mounting. You made changing that ball joint look easy. It would take me all afternoon. Enjoyed watching. Great job mate :)
I fixed serviced photocopiers for many years. Manufacturers used retention clips on rods called a snap rings. Special pliers spread them open enough to dislodge them. Those are called, predictably, "snap ring pliers."
Blimey I think your ready for the F1 pit crew. Great determination to get the job done. 👍
Yeah bloody felt like that lol... thanks for watching 👀
check your bottom end bearing on the transit
An investment in a pair of circlip pliers and a blowtorch to heat up the ball joint housing would have made a big difference to your fight with this job.
Balljoints are a ballache......every car i seem to buy needs the balljoints doing,you'd think i'd be a wizard at it now but their all Bastards!!! would help i guess if i had a decent place to do it and the right tools :)
Nice vans the Transit connect , got an old high top ex Swalec silver 53 reg , rusty but excellent engine and box .
They go forever if you change the oils regularly... thanks for watching 👀
You like making life hard for yourself...if your going to do a job make sure you have the proper tools for the job..a ball joint press tool would have expedited the job for you in half the time with half the stress..
1what a video, well done fair play that was quick
Thanks very much 👍
On those ball joints you want to heat the hub up with gas torch then will slide straight in
I hate working to a deadline like that but you did very well. Keep it up.
Well done. Doing them ball joints on the deck aint a simple task . Another one under the belt. On the link arms if it keeps spinning I cut the bar low down then bend em till the joint pops off and then put the grips direct on to the ball . You did a great job sorting that lot out and back on the road again. Freezing new part and warming hub with a blow torch does work but you gotta be quick tapping it in and you dont have a Freezer handy . Cleaning the hub up is a must too then a bit of grease or oil to help it in. Spot on bud!!
Good job there, certainly makes you earn your money doesn't it..
Hi I own a Ford transit connect thanks for showing us what it takes to sort these problems out I've enjoyed your video all the best Paul
I'm glad I could help you out a little lol
After just doing wishbones and ball joints on a Passat on the drive in the rain pre MOT this makes me feel grateful that VW don’t use pressed fittings. Good effort, thoroughly enjoyed someone else struggle 😂
man that was painful to watch, please invest in a vice at the very least
So your work bus ts all about having the right tools so let’s move forward and get it mot keep it on u tube get figures up
I'm surprised you got that bottom ball joint in without a press..... Well done 👍🏻
You soldier 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Great video, Im amazed you got that ball joint in and out with hand tools. A hydraulic press has got to be your next purchase when funds allow
I agree I would love one but room would be a massive problem definitely handy 😉
Those dura teck engines are bomb proof you done well in the time you had for MOT all the best to you 🎉
Well my good friend how are the vehicles treating you 😂 lol 😂
Connect van is in great condition and they are a good we van I’ve had at least
Ten of them are they are very easy on diesel and they are very easy to sell!!!!!
What about your bigger transit van you have any joy with fixing it’s fault yet !!
Keep your good work up and will be watching out for your videos etc etc etc
First class fella and I love watching Your stuff on the internet!!!
God bless you and stay busy 😂 😆 😝
Get no wage’s looking at them you need to keep at it until you sell them and you will sell them because your honest
about it !!!!!!!
Nice video but I'd not be happy with him saying break piting
I always stamp on disc so the strut cup pops out done it that ways years
keep taping whatever you do. you may not think this is a "how to" but it is and I love it
Just noticed over 6k subscribers amazing 👏 👏👏
I know I can't believe it myself I'm well chuffed with the support from all of you ...
If you change wheel ont forget to keep the od air bag and fit to new wheel. I fitted a fusion lather to my 04 connect but ended up replacing old air to new as bag light came in 👍 you probably know this but just incase pal
Your van is identical to mine which is also silver on a 55 reg. Ive owned loads of these as i end up getting bored with it then selling it on but i always seem to get another along the way. I think they are cracking little vans. For the steering wheel i went for a Mk6 leather wheel as they are a straight fit, just need to use your own airbag.
Yeah totally agree..I don't won't to sell it to be honest their great work horses... thanks for the advice I will definitely have a look for a mk6 steering wheel 👍
I think you couldve used a Allen key to stop the droplink from spinning.....i did when i did a Fiesta ??????
It didn't have it on these ones lol or you can normally place a spanner behind the rubber but it didn't have that either lol
I discovered your channel a coupe of days ago, and it’s great to see your honesty and hard work. Good job on this one, the increasing size hammers gave me a chuckle!
Nice work....what stereo head unit is that??
Well done and I'm glad it passed after all your hard work. 🙂
Well done I hate jobs like that all seized up but hey new mot makes up for it
I guess the mot tester never took the advisory off for the discs😉
Just a suggestion: do some wet belt research for that engine. Changing timing belt and water pump is important but the overwhelming weakness is the wet belt which won't have been changed. If it breaks you'll be posting a video of an engine replacement. My 08 reg TC is chain but anything 57 reg onwards could be wet belt. You can take tensioner bolt out and that will show what you have.
As soon as I get time, I will definitely take a look at the van... I will definitely do research 🙂 thanks very much for the advice, buddy. I really appreciate it 👍
I was under the impression that everything upto 08 was a chain ( left over from the mechanical injector pump days of that engine), then possibly wet belt / rubber after 08 ( common rail, so no need for timing)?
@@sparkyhobo3844 Well I heard about this issue and did some research and it seems the engine design changed October 07. Either way it's worth checking because while chains very rarely fail, the wet belt can break or slip. There's a Transit Connect Facebook group and there’s some good advice on the tensioner belt etc.
Quick old boys trick for getting the new part in to the old rusty housing, pop the joint in the freezer whilst you have a cuppa and sandwich, then use your gas brazing torch ( plumbing jobs) to warm the cast part. Grab the cold joint, and bingo, that slight difference and a spot of grease helps a load.
Why thanks very much for the secret advice I really appreciate it. I'm sure my wife won't mind putting a hub in the freezer lol I tell her you said it was OK lol...
MK1 fiesta steering wheel fits this and it is leather and does not wear out
Mk5 Fiesta you mean
Nice one pal that ball joints are a pain stupid design..
Get the van washed lol
Speedy well done when I had my transit bottom ball joints done it took machanic 4hrs then he tells me he's never done a transit b4 well my mouth was wide open.
Great conents looking forward to seeing more 😀
Why do you not have a vice to make it a lot easier to Put it back in again
It's on my forever growing shopping list of must have tools 🔧 lol... I will buy one & a tabel, but not until the audi is finished 👌
Nothing worse than MOT fails my cars used to always fail for the silliest things when I took them in 😊
Yeah, same fella always bloody something lol
REally wel done on getting the work done in such a short timeframe….and videoing it! Was biting my nails for ya! Keep ‘em comin’
Well done my friend it’s never good kneeling on a cold wet floor trying to remove old rusty parts 🤦🏻
I’m spoilt having a lift to use especially with my knees 👍🏻👍🏻😂
Loving your content, it’s all a bonus whatever you do 👍🏻👍🏻
If you do your own repairs mate invest in the right tools for the job lol this video reminds me when i first started out 30 year ago doing this kind of work with bugger all tools with blood sweat and the scars to prove it 😁, 30 years on a garage full of tools, specialist tools and most importantly air tools and a 100 ton press, the right tool for the job can do this job in minutes, the best thing for stuff like this is an air hammer capable of hiting hard, usually with these style ball joints i use my astro air hammer it will drive them out in a matter of seconds then then use a small wind up press to put the new one in.
You'll get a job in F1 your that quick!!
That seems very poor of the mot tester that he said the brake discs were pitted and scored when they are brand new. You should pull him up on that. It’s basically that he forgot to take it off the system. But at least it’s legal.
Well done
Thanks very much
I've always found the driver's side gets more corroded and gives me problems. I put it down to cars going the other way throwing shit backwards (If that makes sense?)
done the same job a while back, not that easy to do in a short space of time, well done.
Heat the hub carrier and freeze the ball joint!
Real life outside on ya back in crap weather well done love watching
Well done. 🏴🏴🏴
Can't believe you got that speed sensor out nice! 😎
I've never got one out in 1 piece before.
I can honestly say you are a true legend, with Thor the hammer you get the job done!
Drivers door handle latch broken,cannot open door,any ideas how to get door open plz..i took part of inside panel off to get too it from inside the door but not alot of room with metal door strut in the way
Do you want a tip on how to revive the plastics on the outside of the van ? Get a butane torch and light it and stay about 6 inches away from the plastic and watch all the damaged plastic burn off I do it with all my quick flips to revive the plastics
Thanks very much for the advice... someone actually sent me a link to a video on this & I honestly thought they were lying until I watched it 😳
This van is to early for a wet timing belt normal cam belt mate probably a leaky oil seal can only be camshaft or pump but more likely cam
It’s all fun and games until a bolt snaps 😂
P
comments below are from another video by someone else ...don't understand
Buddy, a pair of circlip pliers would have saved you a lot of grief 👍
i like the way you do things . I fancy doing it as a spare time thing . Can i ask do you rent the garage and do you do this full time or part time ?
Yeah I rent the garage it's up the road from my house 🏠...I do this as a hobby when I get 5 mins ... im a part time bus driver & gardener ... just do your research before buying anything as youtubers can make it look easier than it actually is ... thanks very much for watching 👀
@@RevivingSalvage
i work 4 on 4 off as hgv driver . But don't have driveway or garage so got to drag all my tools out then back again . it would be luxury just to close the garage doors mid job and go back . Can i ask where do you source your cars and how do you transport them ?
Well done for getting it done with none of the correct tools!. You do need to get some circlip pliers though...and a hydraulic press would be handy 🙂
Yeah I totally agree I need to invest in some more tools 🔧 but money 💰 is a massive issue. So you have to make do with the tools you have to hand ... there's always a correct tool for the job mine seems to be an hammer 🔨 lol
@@RevivingSalvage I was really surprised and impressed you managed to get that ball joint out and back in. Levering circlips out can be dangerous especially if your leaning over it, could spring out or snap and hit you in the eye. Chances might be slim but it only takes once.
@@RevivingSalvage I saw what you payed for the tools to use on the mk7 transit ( not every day tools lol) But circlip pliers made my chuckle :)
I prefer a ball joint splitter, the scissor type, made by a reputable company.
🚗👍
Well done mate.
ebay do recovers for them al
Thank you 👍
New subscriber, really enjoyed your video, but scrabbling around on the floor ain't gonna do you any favours when you get older matey even though you were pushed for time.
I normally use my garage & have the luxury of time ... but i had the audi s1 inside & the Transit was stuck blocking it as well... its my own fault leaving everything to the last minute... totally agree rolling around on a cold floor isn't ideal... thanks very much for your concern I really appreciate it 👍
That was a tough one , well done , just check with main dealer if it’s a chain or wet belt , I have one and converted from wet belt to chain , also carrier bearing on long drive shaft can sound like a wheel bearing
Thanks very much 👍 I will definitely find out
Donde puedo encontrar repuestos para ford transit connect T230 año 2006 por favor
Should gone in mk3 Mondeo back ground don't miss an beat
and I thought Im the only one who struggles on cars, good work it is a nightmare those jobs I hate working on suspension parts
We must have the same luck lol 😆
I was pushing you all the way well done
Thanks very much, got there in the end lol
That year will prob have a wetbelt from crank to fuel pump just something to be aware of
Thanks very much 👍 I will definitely be checking 👍
I use a small jack on ball joints. Strap it to the wishbone so you get good tension.
I suppose it could work ... something to think about next time cheers 👍
May I please ask what's the name of the intro music 🎶🙂
Sorry but do you actually know what ya doing
I've been in this game since leaving school I'm now 49 the things you do is a bit wrong on all quarters
I've just watched your thrus bearing change on a fiat omg you made that look really hard its a 4 hour job at the most
Our local council yard does mots for the public not many people know about it, because they do not carry out any work at all there not looking for things that are not there to fail you. Its either pass or fail if you keep up with the repairs to your vehicle 9/10 it'll pass 👌
You got a great range of vehicles chap. There will always be someone interested in commercial vehicles as well as cars so don't worry about varying what you do. I got to admit I wasn't interested in the fiat's as much as your audis and other cars but now your doing ford's (vans) and the odd car I am more interested again. Like I just said variation is good. Your not afraid take anything on. Good on you. Dying to see the S1 works. Take care
Just a heads up, you really really dont want diesel or oil leaking onto or anywhere near your timing belt. (If your van has a timing belt as those connects can come with dry belt, wet belts, chains or a mix of both) Yours looks like the dry belt going off the plastic cover, anyways diesel will eat it away completely to the point of snapping and it goes without saying what happens after that.
Lovely van. Glad you have 12 months MOT. Brilliant video.
What kind of wheels?
Nothing worse then having no wheels ..then rushing job for mot at least you got back on road... Good video
Cool vid
Cheers 👍
It would be a good idea to have the right tools!
I suppose if I bought the right tool for every job then I would need another garage & a new job lol but I totally agree 👍
New record on how to change ball joints mate. More so difficult ones
Nice one mate 👍
Hiya mate, on the drop links where you used the mole grips either a 16 or 17mm spanner will do the trick. I changed a set on my bmw yesterday, Hope this helps for next time 👍
Well done to you for tackling it yourself, and always remember if your against the clock things always try your patience
Need to fix sound level on intro to loud !!!!
Sort it out if you want people to continue.
Is it higher than normal? Or do you just don't like it? For me to know cheers
It’s higher than normal ..have to dive for remote to turn volume down then up for your voice frustrating.
Asset of circling pliers might have been better than a flat blade
That looked like a bit of a mare! Good job done as always & it passed!! Whoo hoo! 👍
Great work buddy 😉
Thanks fella 👍
