Video

Sorry to say but no, all of the items came with the vauxhall power steering column, as you can see from the videos I welded the mini items to the vauxhall items. The column I used was from a corsa with adjustable tilt, so I just welded it up. Have you seen the rubber donut change to springs, it makes a different car to drive. More vids soon on mini gear ratios changing.

Thanks for getting back to me, I thought you had made a piece to connected to the bottom of the mini column and the corsa then you had a spline sleeve that connected the corsa and mini together, thanks again Tony

@Tony Aylott sorry you are correct its been a long since I did it, yes it was a machined peace of steel and then welded in.

Not to sure what you mean

@Orange Watch I saw aftermarket intake etc. maybe that's ruined the flow of the engine

@@azisalive4972 Just low fuel pressure.

Many thanks for you reply

Good old chain, just get in and drive it.

@@orangewatch4488 nice one thanks m8 👍

If you can do what I did by checking the fuel pressure

No sorry I forgot not, however have a good look under the bonnet I am sure that you can remove the headlamp without removing the bumper.

How are you both, its good to see you on your travels. How many engines, should have stayed with vw

By the wat where in the world are you both now.

we're good. Not currently broken down which is a nice change 🤣 Does it count as a new engine if we kept the inlet and only changed the block 🤣. To be fair. The 1st one ran lovely. Was just a bad life choice to drive through a flooded road. The 2nd block was just bad from day 1. The new one seems to be in pretty good nick 🤞

@@orangewatch4488 we just shipped Ruby to South America. We're currently in Colombia, waiting for her to be released from customs.

All the best and stay safe, will keep watching your travels on the tube.

None at all, the complete car is insured for what I have done to it.

What was your results, hope this has helped.

I would go to the engine ecu, and check for powers and grounds. However, with no spark, or injectors, I would first check at the engine ecu for feed from the crank sensor as this is the main trigger input for both spark and injectors. See if you can get a diagnostic tool and check out live data for both. This should point you in the right direction. This is the type of diagnostics which I teach at college. Please keep me informed.

@@orangewatch4488 ok is like checking the signal wire form cranksensor to see if it giving a square wave signal

One more item, check out my video on the nissan micra for checking out injector pulse, this could help to find power at the injectors and if the ecu is grounding the injectors to fire them.

I already check ecu for 12v and check continuity to ground circuit to ecu as well

I check the fuel pump relay as well because of what I know the ecu send negative signal on coil side of the realy to fuel relay and that is there as well

Adjust the boot catch

@@orangewatch4488 thank you how do I locate the adjuster part

I have a feeling that there is no adjustment, its a block of wood and a hammer, if you have to slam it, nock the body catch up.

Okay I'll definitely give this ago thanks

Tiger seal from most car shop

Sorry missed your question, what was it again

Many thanks for your kind comments, I hope that you enjoy watching my clips, and find them useful. I'm doing a quick survey, could you possibly tell me what area you live in? I'm curious to see how far my channel is reaching. Thank you. I'm going to be loading some new articles soon, following my latest challenge of setting up an electric vehicle training centre at South and city college Longbridge Birmingham.

@@orangewatch4488 Sure.I live in Somerset.And I wish you were my neighbour we,d get on well I can tell!

Many thanks for watching this video, the water leak is from the inlet manifold gasket, very common as it will leak water down the back of the engine block, and also into the inlet port giving a misfire, most people think its head gasket when a cheap inlet gasket will do the job.

@@orangewatch4488 thank you 🙏, will do it as soon as possible and revert back 🙏

@@HARDEEPJADEJA sorry for the late reply, teaching and other stuff, but I believe that I have only just seen this. If you still have the water leak check the inlet manifold, there is a water way from the manifold to the head. Really sorry for the late response.

@@orangewatch4488 hi, no problem, the problem was crack in a thermostat housing. I removed thermomstat as kenya is not that colod country.car is working fine now

Sounds like you're having a bad day, its all about a water leak. Have a good day.

Bit of a pain but disconnect the power to the boot lock and see how it goes. Also do what I did put a meter on the battery to see any battery drain. Hope that the video has helped.

@@orangewatch4488 can you recommend any good meters for battery

Any type of multimeter, but make sure it can do at least 10 amps to measure current drain. Argos do good ones cheap and effective.

Great to hear from you what are you up to these days how long has it been.

Many thanks for the advice

Please check out the rest of the channel, thanks for watching

Hi sir, how can I found those plugs? How they are called?

The ones I got for this vehicle were from my local Ford dealership, I believe that the two were only no more than £4

Oh, yes they are called cylinder head core plugs

Thank you for your answer, i had to order it from ebay,as I don’t have any ford locally, but on my case is not damaged at all those one are on...still can the leak com from there ?

If you can dry out the cylinder head area and do if possible a coolant pressure test to check for leaks, or run the engine for some time to create water pressure. Next check for leaks, be careful of starting rad fans and hot engine parts. Could the leak be from some where else, just for my records for viewing what country are you from.

Have a happy holiday and see you in the new year.
