perfect job mate takes me back when i worked on cars
another great teaching video i always put the wheel under the car it just gives you that bit extra confidence keep it up mate and well done
It also stops you falling over it....
You make it look so easy 😂 rest of the job no bother, but those darned droplinks!
Leon great video 👍 mate as you know having a lift is a luxury and I bet you can't wait to have one back but I am really enjoying watching you with the trolley jack and axel stands gives me more confidence to tackle more jobs myself mate 👍
We did the same job on my sons car. We got a brand new subframe off ebay for £109 delivered. Didn't do the tracking, so will be doing. Good videos 👍👍,
I still have nightmares about doing our Disco TD5's clutch on the ground. Even the guys at the Land Rover place looked impressed lol.
Good job, hope you get your lift up and running soon Leon.
I’ve done a few of them and 300tdi on the floor, it’s not easy so high five to you ✋
nice vid mate use to grind down old spanners to make them thinner to use on drop links ect
Your video has saved me a massive garage fee, sending you a virtual beer haha thanks mate
Great Vid Leon 👍
If you smear your body with goose fat it makes moving around on the floor much easier 🤣 great job mate
I love all those little tips and tricks asides you are sharing, really helpful, sorted ;-)
superb video excellent detail
Great video , thanks for sharing .
Hey buddy, love you videos they help me a lot when I had to change my 04 transit connect fuel filter 👍 is there any way to change my anti rollbar rubbers with out dropping the sub frame? Keep up the good work
Thanks for the video👍
Saves my time for going to these cowboy garages
sorted ! putting the control arms afterwards is the smart move in my opinion .
Hi there your videos are very helpful , have you any information on how to open a boot of a ford mondeo mk4 from the inside please
On a 99 Ford mondeo, when replacing the passenger side front wishbone do you replace the bolts upside down to the way they are fitted from factory? As you might be aware the gearbox impedes the removal of the bolt and hence you need to drop the subframe to remove the bolt to remove the wishbone.
Wait for it, any minute, OMG you hammered a new ball joint blah blah blah. Doing the rear subframe on my SLK at the mo from the floor. Great fun lol
Love the video :-)
The good/bad days working in the ground. Ugg bad memories mate. SORTED
yeah bad memories
What was wrong with the sub frame
I have a question mate. I got the mmt6 gearbox for my diesel mk3 Mondeo. I switched to a 75w gear oil from Castrol, I guess before was 75w90. My gears are still hard to get into which I thought would be solved with the straight 75w. Do you have any idea if I should try perhaps 75w80/85 or something else maybe? Cheers
Brilliant, Leon. Not an easy job.
Sean off the ignition key and brake pedal..... ye gods 😂
where did you get that hockey stick from ? and its a bit cold on the floor this time of year my son in law has an old thick mat out of a judo room if you can get one and it will be better for you
Good job
Is it a similar process for a Ford Focus mk2? I want to change the subframe my self
Awesome Video, Thank you. What Vehicle were you working on, Sorry I'm here in the USA. Different Makes and models here and I didn't see it in the description. Thanks again, Cheers!
Can u straighten the bent subframe to re center the wheel
Is this the same for a 03 lancer? And how hard is this job?
Hope you get your ramps soon
When jacking up the wishbone it is a good idea to watch the axle stands just in case the car tries to tip. I like to have a second set of axle stands stuck under the jacking points on the sills. It only has to come down once .......
Hands dirty all day today Leon. Boom!
How much does a subframe job normally cost on a small car like a fiesta or seat ibiza please? Tia
Can you tell me How do I remove the gear link clip please
when r u put up your ramp hoist
video are great "sorted"
Do you use left hand drill bits to remove snapped bolts? What happens if you cant get all of the threads out of the hole? I've never drilled a snapped bolt so I'm not sure how you do it
No
Why did the sub frame fail the MOT? Corrosion? Looks as good as the replacement and better and mine, worried about the MOT, which is why I'm asking. Thanks!
Great vid 👍
where did you get those thin openenders from, from memory the most common sizes are 15, 16 and 18 mm which aren't covered in most cheapo sets
what would you say are the most common sizes
many thanks
All my thin spanners are just ground down cheapo spanners. Your not putting a lot of force on them. Only holding a bolt still so they work well
You could buy a set of cone adjusting spanners for a bicycle- thin and strong, Park do individual ones too...
My workmate got "New" suspension fitted to his celica and it looked shite" it was rusty and filthy. He hasn't hands to scratch his arse. Think he expected the mechanic to paint it FOC 🙈.
Good job Leon, not nice off the ground
What vehicle is this on please?
What vehicle is this for
sorted
Yo yo how's it going mate
How long did this take you?
good job as all ways but why did you have to change it
What car is it mate?
I have a lot of work to do to my car, but so many bills in one day on pay day meant I can't even buy a clutch kit yet.
Do you not need to weld it? My garage said that secondhand subframes are difficult due to welding??
Hi mate I am not sure what your garage is trying to say does not make any sense to me Why would you need to Weld it?
@@bodgitandleggitgarage thanks, you confirmed exactly what i thought lol. I will ask this later to them. Thanks for your reply 😊
@@liveonce2102 No problem mate let me know what they say lol
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Went to a different garage because they lied about several things. They told me the couldnt replace with a secondhand one, they said it would be 4 hours labour, it was too dangerous to drive home and it was so bad that welding would cost more than replacing.
Other garage said they can change for secondhand one for 2 hours labour, they said it was dangerous and could be even be welded for an hours labour £50. Whilst other garage would make me pay £468
They probably think im stupid because im a girl and many garages have tried it on. Im happier with this other garage and trust them more than other around.
Garages hate me because i usually point out stuff haha 😂
@@liveonce2102 Glad to hear you got it sorted out Do you have any pictures of the subframe by any chance If so send them to me on Instagram It would make a funny UA-cam video
Didn’t paint the diff though 🤷🏽.
Only joking good video fella.
What some viewers do not understand is that you are a mechanic. You are working on clients cars and basically you are offering a service for which the clients pays you. If a client says look, how much is to paint the subframe and all the spaces where the subframe goes I am sure that you will do it, as long as the client pays for your time spent on this service. It is a workhorse car, not a hobby car, not your car. Time is money. Nevertheless, once again, thank you for the time spent shooting these videos. Maybe some time I will make courage to change it at my hobby car, golf 4. Nothing special, just brought almost to factory spec all myself (thank you for the risking belt video). The subframe looks great but it is fixed in some bushes I believe and the rubber seems cracked. I wanted to do it but on the manual (and I do know you hate manuals guys but you need to take into consideration that I am a desk rat) says that if the bols snappes it needs everything to be welded in special conditions bla bla bla. I have asked a good friend mechanic (but who is specialized in heavy trucks gearboxes) and he assured me that I have more then 80% chances to snap them and that those bushes affects too little the car in curves for beeeinf risk worthy.
Also, I see that people are coming to your new shop and I am wishing you all the best and, of course, stay healthy! All the best and a huge thank you for your videos!
Typical NCT fail you on things that don't matter that subframe looked perfect
Painting a subframe whilst it's off is the sort of thing you do if you are restoring a car, it isn't generally the sort of thing people will pay for. Odd that someone thought you should just do it for free.
0:26 Paint isn't just to make it look pretty though, it's a rust proofer
@@MrPIEEYEDPIPER Yes, and if the customer would like it done, they can pay for it.
No argument there. Or do it themselves.
