I hope it helped

Thanks for the comment

On Astra in video it was something like 170k

Thank you for your comment

Thank you for your comment, I’m glad it helped

If the cable has snapped I’m not sure but under the bonnet fuse box pull fuse 14 or 15 (don’t drive with fuse removed as it dose other circuits this will alow the boot to open with the key blipper, try that otherwise I don’t know without damaging the boot

It’s not something I’ve done, I know you can swap different turbos if they fit subject to compression from exhaust but i think you would have to have it remapped, I was looking into doing it to my vw tdi but to get full power I also had to swap my injectors hopefully someone has more info for you

Thank you for you comment

clips removal and strut removal all sown in the 1st minute

Glad you liked it!

Glad you saved money, I feel as if this is particular to the plugin hybrid as it’s working a lot more waiting for the engine to start

I had a two post lift in my workshop that I rented from Warwickshire county council, but after Covid they put my rent up by 270% if I wanted to stay in it. so I had to close, as it made it unviable, definitely easier with a lift

Thank you for the comment, Sorry i forgot to add the link to my description Link tidd.ly/3Wi9zh0 it was from Autodoc, the part number for mine was A205 470 49 00, part used in the video was METZGER 2250593 Fuel feed unit, cost me £170+vat. They show another make for £100 + vat but it was out of stock and still is today

Thanks for the comment I’m glad I helped

Thanks for the comment, yes it take me around 5 to 6 times longer when filming compared to just doing the job without filming

Thanks for your comment

I would think the 2006 is exactly the same as 2008

@@RichManPoorMotors yea I did this and worked, thanks man

@villeviitanen1748 thanks for the comment, if you can’t get into the boot pull fuse 14 or 15 in engine bay and replace before you drive as maybe you need to adjust part of the roof mechanism so that the sensors are reading roof closed

@@roora111 beeping will probably be a sensor telling the car that the roof/boot it’s fully closed. It probably isn’t a sensor fault but the part of operation not fully completed, on the the boot where the hand opens the boot you have the boot lock on the body of the car check that the latch has fully rotated and that the micro sensor is showing that it’s closed the physical tines can be pushed with a screwdriver but be careful if the switch, the other sensors are the rams left and right for c pillar make sure they are fully up, and roof to a pillar fully locked failing that it might be a brake in the wiring loom check 1st for continuity then for shorts in insulation

@@RichManPoorMotors thank you so much. I'll test it asap.

@@RichManPoorMotors i have no idea tbh. It looks like latch doesn't let go and holds on. I don't know how to tackle it

@roora111 the latch rotates one way to use like a standard boot on a saloon car and rotate the other way to use as a hinge for wen the boot opens at the front to allow the roof to fold into the boot

@@roora111 you can rotate the tines by pushing with a screwdriver or a pin punch you should see the micro switch operate one way or the other

The beeping boot not opening is because the sensors are telling the car that the roof isn’t fully closed The sensors are the roof into a pillar left right The rams (c pillar) for lifting the roof not fully up left and right Or the boot catch rear centre not fully rotated These can be done but pushing catches with screwdriver fully closed a pillar, lifting rams in c pillar hydraulics this is a bit tricky but can be done again using a screwdriver or a socket under rams while you close roof, and the boot tines can be closed in the boot lock by pushing with a screwdriver. To open boot pull a fuse in engine bay I think for memory it is f14 or f15 this will allow you to open boot but replace fuse before driving as it also dose other important circuits once all done beeping will stop, fault is most likely a broken wire in the wiring loom attached to the boot mechanism on left hand side

OK brilliant thanks for letting me know I'm gonna pay to just get the whole thing fixed... cheers mate

Good luck! Let us know how you got on

Helicoils come in different sizes the thread goes flush to the top, if you can put a tap down and use a large bolt then that’s a alternative but sometime this is not possible

Just lock the car with your key card, if you are at some chargers opening the door will stop it charging, so get out of the car close doors then plug in charger

As shown in my latest video Zoe was ac charging only until ccs was offered as a option or spec upgrade from the standard model

boa sorte, obrigado pelo seu comentário

From memory it was a bit difficult, it looks easier than it was, good luck

Thank you for your comment

Gendan are the official uk importers/dealers, just google maxiecu

Ze50 came standard spec with type 2 only, it is not click bait Nissan leaf have now dropped the ccs option I’m only trying to inform and help those who don’t know

Earlier Zoe was ac type 2 charging only from ze50 they were standard type2 and they did offer ccs on higher spec vehicles

My husbands is. 2016 plate & is type 2 only.

@catherinemawby2311 thanks for your comment

With the door open i pulled the the arm (of what use to be called a check strap) I pulled this out as far as i could, from memory it took some effort, then i had David push the door a bit as if he was starting to close it, so that the arm was just about touched the A pillar, then i started to insert the bolts, when they had enough threads in the end or the arm i fully opened the door (this fully opened the arm) so that i could get the bolts fully tightened

@@RichManPoorMotors You absolute legend was scratching my head thinking I’d have to remove the door panel. All sorted now thank you so much

Someone who gets a bargain on a used one and doesn't need rapid charging I'd guess.

@@jamesbarker7145 agreed. But then you wouldn't complain about lack of public charging at rapid charge sites...

@@JTop79 to be fair I think it was intended as more of a something to be aware of than a complaint.

How is demonstrating that the car used can’t be charged at the charging stations shown is misleading. If someone can’t afford a £20,000 plus used electric car then purchasing something like a Zoe or leaf may be there option, without informing them of the charging options then they may purchase something they regret

@@RichManPoorMotors I've just had a quick look on Autotrader. There are thousands of cars under £20k with CCS.

Almost all new EVs are CCS, so it's not a problem.

@@jamesbarker7145 most are but a Nissan leaf for example iit looks like they have removed the option for CCS and its now CHADdeMO only zoe has now been discontinued but in the 2022 broucher i have CCS was a option on spec im not sure if the SMART has DC charging as that is only 22kw and im sure others

@@RichManPoorMotors you can get CCS adapters for the Leaf.

@@jamesbarker7145 that’s good to know

I have research it that’s why it’s a 43kw charger not a 22kw but it’s just a runaround for me, and fits into my needs. if someone was buying it for there main car then the lack of charging speed and options would be a big problem same with leaf and other early gen ev’s

@@RichManPoorMotors so you have made an entire video about how you can't use certain chargers, even though you bought the car knowing in advance that you wouldn't be able to use them and that in reality that would not be an issue for you? I'm really struggling to see the point you are trying to make here

@@where_is_mark when i purchased the car the charging stations at mcDonalds, starbucks, and the Moto services were not even built, the car is charge at home and is just used for local journeys, making use of the running cost of £1.50 per 90 miles, but i have had people who haven't bought electric EV yet, ask me questions about charging, questions about range, questions about performance and a lot of those will be purchasing a used car around 7 years old. My point as was shown in the video and to inform and help those who don't know, is to check what charger you have in your car before buying otherwise you might not be able to charge easily on route, i showed that CCS is a lot more popular than CHADdeMO and if you have CHADdeMO then there are less chargers and these also might be used by someone with CCS, while there are other CCS chargers free,

CHADdeMO was still the standard leaf connection ccs was a option at least in 2023 when I was looking at buying one, not everyone is able to purchase new

Is your Zoe ccs then? As this was a option on 2nd gen Zoe

@@RichManPoorMotors Hi, no, I have a 2nd gen Nissan leaf. never had a Zoe. ta J

Better charging option on the leafy than the Zoe that’s why you see so many higer mileage leafs over Zoe, I Love the Kia 6

Thanks for your comment

Yes because you id3 is ccs, as mentioned ccs is the majority of charging stations

unless don't do your research and go for the (I'm guessing cheaper) one without

@@where_is_mark correct

Zoe should of had ccs as standard so should Nissan leafs when ccs was going to be the default charging option in the eu

@@RichManPoorMotors chademo car to grid option

Zoe has been discontinued in uk but I have seen recent under 3 year old Zoe with type 2

2024 bmw 330e still type 2 although as a hybrid you would only charge at work or at home, 2024 Mercedes c300e hybrid ccs, kangoo van type 2, and a couple of others I’ve seen at charging stations but most are going ccs

Not sure if this is just my car as it’s an ST, but the cable that you’ve miraculously pulled through on that right side I’m not able to pull through or disconnect.

@Jackthompson01 it should be exactly the same on the st

If your on about the cable that I said remove the rubber grommet, look at 9:30 where it was disconnected from the lock after undoing the window regulator panel. Just remove the grommet as you would usually remove grommets by prizing the rubber around the hole

@@RichManPoorMotors yeah and then how do you disconnect that from the alarm?

You don’t show that it’s just all of a sudden disconnected after your cuppa

I think you will find that is for the petrol engine only my documentation from Mercedes shows petrol engine only torque 350 nm electric motor only torque 340 nm Total system torque 600 nm

@@RichManPoorMotors Interesting, thanks for the reply.
