Good video mate I'm going to do my first ever service on my own next week and you have covered everything 👍
Love you biff
@@chalkfarmcarsquadso1664 thanks mate ❤️
For what was that cable that you put
@@alvaromontillah the one on the A pillar ? That was for the microphone for the hands free phone 👍
Good luck mate. All the best in the move. Can’t wait to see more of your cab - it’s a lovely machine and a credit to you.
Thanks so much mate ! Im sure the cab will need sumit again soon lol 👍👍
I am in the process of changing the front of my puma, but I live in Portugal and I can't find a front, could you send me one to Portugal, I will pay for everything😢
Hi, I have really been enjoying your videos for "Project Plonker", which I only recently found on YT, I used to own a Regal Supervan III back in to 70s, so bought back some memories. Will you be finishing of the PP series?, as you got to Pt27 and there were no more. I am subscribed so waiting for more.
Hi! Thanks so much for the message, really glad you like the PP series, rest assured i will definatly be finishing the supervan, once ive got straight and the MecTec garage 2.0 set up I wana get back on it as soon as i can, thanks for being patient, i know its annoying watching a series that suddenly stops 🙈 All the best MEC 👍👍
@@mec-tec That's great to hear. All the best with the new garage, in the meantime I will be checking out some of your other vids. Top Banana 😀😀
@@MrBloxboy Awesome ! Hope you enjoy the other vids ! 👍👍🔝🍌
Hope the move goes well and wish you and the family all the best with your new home.
Thanks mate ! Weve been here nearly 2 weeks... feet havnt touched the ground yet ! With jobs and decourating 🙈👍👍
I hope you are making this your last move. It seemed as though it was a nightmare for you. Looking forward to your new Mec-Tec place. I've been following you from the word go, and I even feel a little emotional that the place I grow up with you is no more. All the best to you and your family. I hope you have more room for all your stuff, and not having to build more sheds. 🙂
Hi mate, thanks so much for the message and support ! I dont think we will be moving again in a hurry! Haha, I was emotional leaving that house, not sure if it showed on camera, we have alot more room in the house now and i still have a double garage but width ways this time... with room to extend😉 however theres no Shed !! So i will have to build one very soon !! All the best MEC 👍👍
Good luck with the new place. Hope to see you soon, as we live in Danbury now.
Thanks mate ! I hope to get out for some more bike rides now were here 👍👍
Well done mate On to pastures new. Welcome to Essex
@@charliejeffers9778 thanks so much ! 👍👍
That brought back memories of so much of the pressures that I felt when we moved house. Not only did you seem to deal with it very well, but you also filmed it. Best of luck to you and your family in your new adventure.
Thanks so much, yep it certainly some stress but worth it hopefully, i wanted to film more but the time restraints in the end were a tad tight lol 👍👍
Best wishes to you and your family in your new home. That was a marathon effort to move everything. Well done.
Thanks so much ! Now we have the 2.0 garage to sort ! 👍👍
Good luck, Mec
Thanks Mr T 😘👍👍
Hi MEC - great video - looking forward to seeing the new home D
Thanks wakko 👍👍👍
No good fighting it my friend women are always right so I’m told. Good luck for the next chapter 👍
Your deffo right ! Thanks so much ! 👍👍
Onward and upward !!
Deffo ! 👍👍
All the best to you my friend! What did you find while clearing out you thought you lost?
Thanks so much ! Nothing tbh ! Mad as that sounds ! 🤣👍👍
Congratulations guys, we moved 6 months ago, is upheaval but worth it. What town are you moving too? Judging by the accent I don't think you are million miles from me.
Thanks so much ! We are in a small village in essex, i wont get to specific on here but not far from the coast 👍
Wishing you the very best of luck, health and happiness in your new home
Thanks so much ! Thats very nice of you 👍👍👍
Wishing you all the best at your new residence! Now, the next step is moving all of this to your new residence. I'm don't admire you, I hate moving, and I should be moving once again in a few years.
Thanks so much, yep its deffo stressful but hopefully worth it, hope ur future move goes well too 👍👍
Those wires on the back window running next to the boot strut are for the rear heated window if anyone was wondering
Mint video, just been told On an advisory after a passed MOT, my fiesta needs a drop link replaced, which will answer why I’m getting a knocking noise. This video will help - cheers!
@@800mint Hi mate thanks so much ! Glad u like the vid and its helping 👍👍👍
excellent work😉 ive just bought a puma to restore and was feeling a bit disheartened with the level of rust ive found . im lucky enough to have most of the inner and outer sills in tact rear sills/boot floor and front pans need work so ive bought a mig and trying to get as much info as possible on welding and this is a great help!!!
Hi mate, thats awesome ur saving another puma, its hard some times but just converntrate at 1 area at a time, that way it doesnt become overwelming, i have a playlist on my puma with different repairs etc, glad they can be of help 👍👍👍
Great work! What should I do with mine, to not let it rot so hard? Its in realy good condition and I afraid it will start rotting. Rear arches started tho
Hi mate, thanks so much ! To prevent rust, i would go around the car with Dinitrol wax oil and spray it in all tye cavitys you can, maybe take off the 1/4 panel trims and spray the wax oil inside the 1/4s so ot runs all round the arches etc, hope this helps 👍👍
@@mec-tec thank you, ordering Dinitrol rn lol
Love the C1 bumper video. Just bought one. The VM Motori engine is bulletproof too. R 425 DOHC
You can reach the oil filter from above, no problem and if you have long arms, remove the oil cap as well without lifting the car, but that's another story all together, the room for the key is very limited and you have to get lucky to do that. No need to change the plug every time either, just the rubber washers, check the files of the screw and you'll know, since it only takes finger tightening and a quarter turn with the crank, it should last for about 10 years as it is. The oils all look and cost roughly the same, I read Castrol was good but Total made the car run better in some cases, it couldn't be more random and negligible, price and performance wise. You sir got blue balls for making this video and I thank you for your service.
😅
Thanks
Thanks so much !! Its very much appreciated 👍👍👍
@@mec-tec Get yourself a well deserved beer my friend :) Just finished the 2 bumpers on my Citreon C1 and the headlights following your video (almost word for word) and its came out fantastic. Much appreciated for taking the time to document and video the whole thing. Another proud member of the Bug Club!
@@barryjarman thats absolutly superb! Im well pleased to have helped, another smart looking bug on the road 👍👍👍
How's the MK2 Cav looking now?
Hi mate, unfortunatly ive not touched it since the last vid, its deffo on the to do list now we have finally moved house 👍👍
How much oil did you use in the end. No info online. Much appreciated
Why not save some scrap metal and junk the spare wheel altogether? Its hugely heavy and can be replaced with a mini tyre compressor and tyre sealant kit as modern cars have. 99% of the time, Puma jacking points won't support the stress from the crappy original scissor jack anyway. I did this a few yars back on my Puma Black and its served me well ever since.
Hi, i have to be honest, i hate inflation kits, id much rather have a proper spare that can get u out of trouble no matter whats happened to the tire on the car, ive never had a problem with the original jack, personal choice i guess 👍
@@mec-tecmaybe so. But if you have a flat tyre and do manage to get the wheel changed, then discover your lovely aftermarket wide wheels won't fit in skinny spare tyre's under boot tray, you'll have a bit of a problem. Many Puma drivers also love the Puma's performance and use it as a fun driver's car. That can be radically improved by losing excess weight (removing spare and jack, back seats and rear trim, moving the battery behind the passenger seat, etc). But if you're using yours as a tow truck, I guess performance or how it drives isn't a priority! 😊
Haha, yep mine is deffo the pocket knife of pumas, it gets used for everything 🤣👍👍
@@mec-tec Superb attention to detail and breathtaking welding. Clearly means a lot to you, we need more craftsmen like you around.
Hi! Im planning on doing something like you did except the lights that I already did a couple of months ago. Do you reckon I'll be alright with 1 spray primer 400ml 2 spray paint 400ml x2 1 clear coat 400ml ??? Thanks!!
Hi, that should be ok, i used a 500ml can of lacquer as this will need to be applied a bit heavier to get a good shine 👍👍
Hi, nice Videos. I live in Germany and bought a used London Cab here. It's from 2011. Can anyone tell me how I can program the remote control for the door locking?
@@martinsevering Hi thanks for the message ! Glad you like the vids, i dont know how to program the remote im afraid
Nice job. Do you get any knocking on the back with the aftermarket exhaust?
Thanks so much, no i dont get any knocking at all, its a magnex exhaust thats been on the car since around 1993 so not sure if they were better made back then, hope this helps, Regards MEC 👍👍
If I didn't have a Puma I'd have a Capri. Good job on keeping her on the road.
Thanks so much ! Glad to hear you have a Puma too 👍👍
Hi MEC - well done - and a good result at the MOT centre - its a nice Capri D
@@g3rcq thanks wak, least its another PROPER Capri back on the road 👍👍👍
Yippee… capri content 👍🏻 Please change those rear tyres for safety’s sake! They are the original factory tyres & so are 40 odd years old 😮 … are the front ones the same? So sorry but I I can’t help myself but have to mention the side stripes & boot decal are wrong, should be red over silver sorry!😬😬 didn’t notice before! Keep the videos coming your great & an inspiration 👍🏻
Hi thanks so much for the message and info, yes i deffo need to change the tyres, the fronts are newer but still very old, the stripes are an interesting one, ive seen other with it round the other way and have no doubt owned a few (il have to check my pics) but i did find a pic of a Cardinal Red 2.8i that i restored and the stripes I put on that were silver over red, not sure if this is because it was a red car and it would blend in to much, the ones i put on were the same as the originals, this car has deffo been painted in the past before i got it so i guess they either chose the wrong stripes for the body colour or just prefered them, il never know i guess, good to know if i change them in the future, glad you like the vid ! All the best MEC 👍👍👍
Well Done.
@@dave-huston-dublin thanks so much ! 👍👍👍

@@mec-tec from the yaris t-sport go in a bunch of other 1.5 ish toyotas ill get a link
@@TacticalKeyboardOperator awesome ! Thanks for the info 👍👍
@@mec-tec thats the injector its not the seller i bought it from they sold out probly find it cheaper i got 4 for 25 quid.. need to change the top O-rings off the standard injector onto the T-sports which does require abit of plastic file'd away and it fits best with the bottom thick O-ring from the t sport injector
