The odd jobs
United Kingdom
Registrace 7. 11. 2018
we are "the odd jobs" because we love doing odd jobs on cars, we have cars that range from a world war 2 jeep to a modern mustang and others in-between, our aim is to do work on these cars and show everyone how we do it, warts and all, we are not professional mechanics but we are both engineers that have a love for all cars, old and new, so if its broke we will have a go at fixing it, from headlight restoration to drop links, brakes, exhausts and fitting mods we would love for you all to join us on this ride.

Mustang GT VLAND sequential lights (euro spec)
On a mini with a PSA engine I guess before 2010 that engine needed to come out would not be necessary am I right????
Not too sure but it wouldn't surprise me, the space is extremely tight!
On my Ranger, backing sensors and reverse lights do not work when gear is on reverse. Could it be a faulty reverse switch?
Possibly either the switch or fuses potentially
And it was funny how many of those "standard" manufacturers built luxury models back then. Ford had Granada 2.8i Ghia (and later Scorpio), Renault 25, Opel Senator/Monza, Fiat Croma, Citroen CX/XM/C6, Peugeot 605/607, Saab 9000... only Volvo is in that league anymore with V90 / XC90. Others have given up as Audi, BMW and Mercedes completely dominate that segment (save Lexus which is pretty much a re-badging of old Toyota Crown). Cheers.
I remember seeing them in the car magazines priced but it was a very rare sight to see on the road. They were rather expensive and therefore competed against 5-series BMW and E-class (well it wasn't E class then) Mercedes-Benz. You could see Senators occasionally but Monza was very rare. Fine car but I think its only problem was the Opel badge which didn't carry the same prestige for the yuppie buyers as Jaguar or Mercedes. Same fate as Peugeot 605 and later 607 really. It's a fascinating car and the performance numbers were quite respectable back then as the standards were completely different. Real car guys' thing to restore this... I love it.
@@detonator2112 was a great car to work on
Manual transmission rare at that Lovely car
Such a lovely car to drive
I have a 600 Bandit. If a cold engine starts without choke, there's a problem with the mixture. Full choke, start, back off choke in the first few miles as it warms up.
Seems noisy? I thought these cars were supposed to be quiet??
Was quiet but I think my microphone was picking up a lot and making it sound worse
Great video with clear step by step instructions. Much appreciated, and will be of great help when I do this job on mine.
Glad it helped

Well done you guys, a perfect restoration. I have always loved the Monza since my parents bought a green series 2 1983 model with Getrag 5 speed. Bought it secondhand with 8 k miles only for £9000 in 1984. They toured Europe in it probably nearer 28 mpg. average . I then found a four wheel drive Monza in Northampton which was tested by Motor in 1981 against the new Audi Quattro, where the testers praised the handling and ride over the Audi, though slightly heavier it was not quite a quick, mainly because they were testing an automatic Monza versus a manual Audi Later I found this silver FF MONZA MK 3 which is manual and just as quick as the Audi czcams.com/video/R3VY5a9jVP8/video.htmlsi=_diYrqPtP766Hm2t In January this year Classic and Sportscar did a reunion of the Motor test and came up here with an Audi. Here is the Blue FF car I think after being shown at the Excel centre
Some people say the models from 07-09 are unreliable compared to the 03-06. Would anyone agree with this? Seen it on car wizard whos a reputable mechanic
oh no way i worked at the company that made that R2D2 and it was me that designed it haha, guessing either says WESCO or ZEON underneath?
ZEON underneath buddy
@@theoddjobs3749 that's it ha that's funny. Garage turned out great by the way. I don't have a garage at ours but trying to look at a new house next year and want a garage so good inspiration
Thanks buddy, hope it helped you with some ideas, everyone has different tastes but that’s what suited me, I’ve done an update video recently on how it’s worked out over the year, and some pros and cons
Thats my old car, i bought it from a chap in Devon, brought it home to Dorset, used it as my daily runner for a couple of years, sold it to a lad local, who didnt look after it, and was involved in an accident on the left front corner, i fitted a different dash to it as the original one was really cracked, great to see it still going
That’s awesome, really awesome car
How good is that caliper tool
Yeah worked pretty well to be fair
What’s the verdict on the ikea bror units a year on? Looks great by the way
Whoops, just found your other video haha
They are really hard wearing
Why did you take nuts off ...only need to loose them and lift off terminals...really bad video, dont do !!
It was cold and dark many years ago, thanks for the comment , we realised later on not to remove the nuts, live and learn
Who supplied your garage door please? Has the door been reliable. Would you recommend the company? Looking at replacing an old up and door as part of y garage renovation. Got the same Ikea cabinet as youve used after seeing the first video you did. Hope your move abroad is a success. Goodluck in all ypu do mate
Thanks buddy, really appreciate the comment, the garage door is from a company called Rollerdoor UK, absolutely would recommend, they were really responsive, came and gave me a free quote, they understood my needs for more space, very helpful indeed, never had an issue with it at all, works perfect and looks great.
Love your garage. I will copy some of your ideas into mine😅
Happy to of given you some ideas
Nice set up, my only thought would be that I would have mounted the TV on a wall away from the bench top. Simply because it looks awesome above the bench but when you use the bench it is too close and you cannot really see the shows.
Yeah I did think that but due to sockets it was only real place I could put it
What size is this garage?
15 square metres

Thank you
I have a 2019 ford edge and a buddy installed the wiring harness for a trailer hitch and ever since then I've had this parking fault error and it has to do with the rear (Only does it when you put it in reverse). The dealership said they won't touch it because it's corroded and they said it would be $740 to fix it. They said the thing was unplugged. So I'm sure my buddy just forgot to plug it back in cause it was working fine before that. I'm hoping with the help of this video I can locate and fix it myself. Thanks for the video!
Hopefully it helps, the sensors are pretty cheap to buy if one does need replacing, dealership wanting to charge $740 is ridiculous
@@theoddjobs3749 Heck yeah it is. They said the whole wiring needs to be changed to because it's all corroded so that's why it's so much money. I can't see replacing all the wiring. That's just ignorant and a huge waste of money.
@@viprgaming641 they just seem to want the easiest path to fixing it , problem with modern day mechanics (not all) they would rather replace rather than diagnose and fix
@@theoddjobs3749 yes sad but true
@@theoddjobs3749 Yeah and get this. I had it in the shop for something else and I asked them if they could just plug the sensor wire in because I'm sure we just forgot to plug it back in when we did the trailer lights so they did and it's working fine. And they were going to charge me $740? Unbelievable
Greta video. Looks amazing. Really enjoyed it
Thank you
Great video mate, you kept it really simple and straightforward - well played
Sometimes simple looks better imo
I've had 19 big bikes. 3 of them being bandit 600's they are incredible bikes such great value for money. I'm thinking about buying another which be be bandit number 4. They are fast enough for the road and everyday use. Plus the make a great sound with a stubby exhaust and they are very reliable!
Where are you based? Thank you
Looks awesome! I've got a lot of ideas from you! Really like what you've done. Wasn't sure on the black paint at first but.....
yeah honestly I wasn't sure either to be fair but it really brought it together especially with the lights
Sounds like your front bearings need changing
Great job.

Not all ford pumas of the same age are rust buckets and leave Brown stains on the road I run a 2000 model 1.7 and has never been welded and is definitely not a rust bucket And can pass its mot without advisories although I do agree that alot of these era of cars have Unfortunatly surcomed to the tin Worm it's like any car if you don't look after it and neglect the underneath what can you expect
Absolutely agree, got to look after them
Such a boy racer etate lol. Shame Opel Ascona had saloon and hatchback only. That brown interior screams 70's, but at least it isn't as cheesy as red American interiors of any J-car.
Agreed
Looks wonderful- and you got it done!!
You have done a fantastic job, bringing the car back to how it should be. I had 7 of them ending up with the gse model. If I had a garage I would have another one in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work that you do ..

Lovely car, I have the same but the Royale. Where did you get the turret tops from, were they prefabricated off the shelf or built from scratch. Ps I'm going to have to subscribe now and catch up on the resto 😂
I’ll ask Sam to ask where the turret tops were done :)
Hiya mate, they were repaired at a local body shop so they're the repaired originals. Love the Royales too!

Does the flooring make any difference with the temperature?
