    Rob, Chris, I appreciate that it's not to everyone's taste, however the mix of content which you are now publishing is incredibly insightful and informative. Good to see you've passed through 148k subscribers too! Here's to 150k and beyond.

    Rob & Chris that was just the sort of content I love to watch, a little bit detailed with explanations, showing the hard work that goes in and then the result! This is why the content you are producing will be the future of Car/Vehicle viewing for me and I think a lot of other people, I get this up on my TV and its way better than Top Gear etc!

    The clowns I work for are always telling me about book time for doing a job. . This video shows just how much work is involved in a clutch . One cross threaded bolt can throw a real spanner in the works . I much prefer your work style to dealer life . Time I was retired so I can just watch you lot .

    Good job chaps. I, too, am not a lover of clutch replacements. They always seem so fiddly on modern cars. Now changing one on a Morris Marina or Hillman Hunter, no problem.

    @BigDave1965 4 роки тому +1

    Great job, I find it easier to drop the engine & box out as one as they are so tight these days, plus most cars now don't have strong inner wings to use a support bar. I remember the Mk1 astra clutch, you removed a cover off the end of the gearbox and used a slide hammer to slide the imput shaft clear of the clutch, removed the cover from the Bell housing installed 3 clips that held the pressure plate to the clutch plate undo the retaining bolts and the clutch came out the bottom, you could replace the clutch in half an hour. They stopped using this system as the clutches didn't last long, but still a brilliant system

    I remember watching a mechanic putting in a gearbox after a clutch change and it was a pig to get in and he ended up with the gearbox lying on his chest as he had difficulty getting it to go back in and I said why don’t you use the jack to help but he said that this was the way he always did it and he was going to do it his way, now I know why most of the mechanics I know are barrel chested and forearms like popeye, great post rob looking forward to seeing the next one

    Great video again, got caught a few years ago with the wife’s Toyota avensis, clutch went, new clutch in, no engagement, turned out the cars assembled in Japan were different than those assembled in uk, even though same year/engine. Clutch was 3 mil different, but you could only tell when in and bolted down, with a vernier, otherwise on the bench they were identical, 3 times that gearbox came out and went in, will never forget it 😀😀🇮🇪

    I think the clutch looked pretty good but still needs binning
    I was watching you slide around on the concrete floor
    I have pieces of cor flute that I stick on the concrete floor and I slide around on that and
    It’s keeps you off that cold floor and it makes it easy to slide in and out from under the car
    Good work as usual
    Saved another one 👍👍😍😍
