Something I’ve not seen before, Touran brought to me with no clutch pedal, slave cylinder failure and master cylinder weeping too, removed box and cover plate spring has broken up and slowly machining gearbox bell housing!!!! Flywheel in a pretty poor state too so a full replacement going in!

Which idiot at Audi decided not to put dipsticks on the new cars!!!! AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!

Yeah mate my local garage checked the belts and they’re fine, it must be electrical 🙄

The “new” works truck! Project ShaddyCack! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 cheers to William Gamble for the paint job! Spot on 👌🏻

The old tank getting some much needed rear tyres! The others were like 50p pieces

Please note my working hours are 9-6 Monday to Friday and 10-4 Saturday ,this includes answering text messages, Facebook enquiries and other forms of communication. You are more than welcome to leave messages but please understand I need my time too! Thank you

Very nice clean Touran in today for the dreaded egr failure so common on the CR TDI units ! In we go

Who the bloody hell sticks a water pump in with Sikaflex????? Took nearly an hour to get out without causing any damage to block!!!! Hopefully the end of my finger with grow back soon!

Don’t normally do Mercedes but this sprinter belongs to a mate, common fault of a broken stud on inlet manifold causing the plastic manifold to distort under boost! Replacement genuine parts throughout and all four injectors removed, cleaned and resealed due to the common Mercedes leaking! Caused by using one 6mm stretch bolt to hold down the common rail injectors !!! Totally inadequate

Words fail me, searching for an annoying oil leak on a T5 transporter morning that I built up with a rebuilt engine (not supplied by me!) Stripping the front end and inlet manifold (no easy task on the 2.5) revealed an oil gallery blank plug not tightened or sealed !!!!! 👿 now to clean it all up and rebuild AGAIN! Oh what fun on a Sunday

020 gearbox strip down, it’s been a while lol
