On a mini with a PSA engine I guess before 2010 that engine needed to come out would not be necessary am I right????

On my Ranger, backing sensors and reverse lights do not work when gear is on reverse. Could it be a faulty reverse switch?

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.

Manual transmission rare at that Lovely car

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??

Great video with clear step by step instructions. Much appreciated, and will be of great help when I do this job on mine.

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?

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

How good is that caliper tool

What’s the verdict on the ikea bror units a year on? Looks great by the way

Why did you take nuts off ...only need to loose them and lift off terminals...really bad video, dont do !!

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

Love your garage. I will copy some of your ideas into mine😅

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.

What size is this garage?

Any condensation on the jetski, tool boxes etc.? Wondering if worth have a dehumidifier in there?

Buddy I can not believe the set up ❤

Brilliant video 👍

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!

Greta video. Looks amazing. Really enjoyed it

Great video mate, you kept it really simple and straightforward - well played

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.....

Sounds like your front bearings need changing

Great job.

Hi there just wondering have any problems with the oil cooler at all since having the upgrade fitted ? Thanks ☺️

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

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.

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 ..

Mate do we need a torque wrench

💤😴

Great video. Reverse chimes and alerts are out on my escape, but its not showing message. Camera works, but no alert. ???

How do you like the ikea cabinets? Have they held up well?

From an era when England was still England

Excellent vlog I have the same issue on my 67 plate transit connect 👍

I have a 2003mod 211 E200 Kompressor Estate. God cars! And a good video! 😃 The 320CDI was the biggest diesel in the estate, but in the saloon the 420CDI was the bigggest. V8 Diesel.

I LOVED mine

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 😂

Does the flooring make any difference with the temperature?
