Fresh language, child labour and despair. Excellent.
Standard Hubnut fare then😂
I think the Sentence "The serpentine belt is being a T#*T!!" should be used on a future range of Hubnut merchandise (other car parts are available
Hubnut was last seen running down the road shouting 'the belt goes round.... the belt goes round'.
LOL :)
It's certainly better than yelling 'Stop the steal' ...
Watching you and Miss HubNut work on the car together with The Boy reminds me of when my mum and dad used to work on the car together while I spectated as a child. My experience was slightly different though in that every time my mum ‘helped’ it always ended up with a lot of shouting, swearing, usually an argument in front of the neighbours, then a cigarette and a cup of tea and everything was fine again. It’s amazing I went on to do this for a living. 😆
"The boy" seems keen but needs to be given a team hat
Saying the word Twat is very fullfilling, when directed at a job like you just did. Very enjoyable. Great work.
I appear to be watching carry on alternator
Infamy Infamy this alternator has got it Infamy !
"...bit of a cock-up on the alternator front..." (different series, but...)
@@craigmclean8260 R.I.P. !
Thanks for the giggle.
Can't wait for the sequel: The Alternator II: Revenge of the Rover.
Is that one of those sequels thats worse, or better than the original?
ps you forgot the prequel, 'How the Dynamo was won"
I chose the suspense of watching the video rather than going straight to the comments. Kudos to perserverance and Team Hubnut.
Sitting here in British Columbia, Canada, watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean with a large tea celebrating your success. Hello to the family.
“You would probably want the shorter one in the bottom”. I’m cackling
Me too!
"Can I get my hand in?.......Shut up! Oh my God people will be unsubscribing"😂 Hilarious!
Quickly followed by a rear view !
Is that what a rear view mirror is for ? - Does my bum look big in this ?
Has someone been taking hints from those naughty Mighty Car Mods boys ...?
Loved the video. Great to hear the use of the phrase "The (insert car part here) is being a Twat!"
One of my personal favorites
What I love about your videos are how real they are..Congratulations on getting the job done
Good for you for persevering. I was so pleased it all worked out well for you at the end when you fired it up.
I’ve loved watching this series on your 75. It’s “real life” mechanics which is awesome 😎
A great video Ian and really good to see Miss Hubnut and Master Hubnut helping out. Really adds to the videos. Thanks for this 👍😊
The best success story of 2021 so far. Fabulous family fun along the way. Your vids are always worth waiting for ian, cheers.
The best part of finishing a sod of a job is everything works, even after you've seriously thought about getting the car towed away. It's not just a sense of relief, but the fact that after all the frustration, you've still managed to overcome whatever problems the car has thrown at you . Nicely done!
Ian, we love the banter and inuendo . Keep it up guys.
ssst when YT finds out they will put a XXX or R rated video on it.
I love the innuendo that Miss Hubnut provides. I will Never unsubscribe from the channel. You and Miss Hubnut are the perfect team. Keep up the fantastic video's
Well done. What a relief, it's back together and working. I'm glad I'm not the only one to struggle.
Perseverance along with blood sweat and tears ..... finally pays off ~ well done 👍🏻
"Today, we finally replace the alternator in Rita the Rover!" "Where did I put the new alternator??"
With a start like that, how could it go wrong!!
I’ve been binging on your videos for the last couple of weeks and you are living my dream 😎
Those are the kind of jobs that really test the patience and your persistence is admirable!
German Engineers are very good, but German machinery (not just cars) is usually inexplicably difficult to work on.
Top job 👍
Completely brilliant, a laugh a minute but, importantly, the job gets done. Great work.
Well done Mate, persistence will prevail. Even I as an Car Mechanic curse sometimes, but you learn to deal with it when you have to do these jobs. Kind regards from the Netherlands and you and your Family stay Save!!! Akko
Glad you got everything sorted in the end.......
:)
A great video and demonstration that not every job goes as smoothly as people say jobs are......
Well, at least I know where to bring my car for an alternator replacement. You have now lots of experience 😀
Very good video, people will not be unsubscribing at all. Loved the beginning!
I had a similar problem fitting my serpentine belt - there was not enough room for a long tool to make it adequately easy to release the tensioner, so it took me longer to just put it back on than removing it, replacing the crankshaft pulley and the idler pulley. I eventually discovered they sell an angled tool for such a job. I improvised by sticking my breaker bar onto the end of my 3/8 ratchet to make an extra long bar to pull it back and when I reached the slam panel twisted it round and put my full weight on to the breaker bar to force it right down. So well done on getting it de-tensioned without using a really long tool! I am no where near strong enough!
Great video, with banter from Miss Hubnut. Carry on Rover 75 :)
Marvelous, cheered at the saving of a bolt, grand job 👍
1st: The best intro ever, love that,
2nd: the sheer exasperation with the serp belt is fully relatable and shared, I would have kicked the Floof out of something at that point
3rd: Returns of happiness as Rita Recommences daily running!
Well done, a thoroughly hideous ordeal, your painful perseverance prevails once more, she lives!
Superbly entertaining, loved it. You give smiley faces to those in a sad world at the moment . Loved the intro HubNut. Mrs HubNut brings out the comedian in you.
Who needs a Volt meter as we have the wiper speed test!
Genius!
I thought replacing the alternator on my 2008 focus TDCI was a pain in the arse, having watching this video I have to say my experience was a walk in the park by comparison! Respect to you!
glad you got it sorted between you, well done!
"I don't know which way around the long bolt and the short bolt go on" Was anyone else shouting at the screen - try them in the old alternator by your side! :) Well done Ian, a triumph of persistence.
My favourite bit of this video is the piece of dodgy wood wedged between the jack and the engine.
Perfect
I know it has been bloody frustrating your 75 , but i think they were a great car . I loved my 04 1.8 tourer , it towed my caravan everywhere . Keep up all the great work 👍
What a Job - well done for your perseverance, congrats on yet another Jacket, and will definitely use the "Wiper Speed Test" in lieu of a voltmeter next time I need to check power levels!
Yet another great vid, thanks for sharing
Well done Mr H for not giving up
I shared your feeling of calm nauseous panic throughout. Thankyou.
Hi len what great video and well done for sticking with the job. You and your family take care keep safe 😊👍🏻😊
Well done.... you made that look easy 😅
I’ve just subbed to your Channel, I’ve watched the odd video here and there but one of my subscribers is an avid fan of yours and prompted me to revisit the channel
I’ve worked in the motor trade all my life but thankfully I’m not on the spanners anymore. I do have a dabble with the odd little job here and there but crappy ones like this remind me of why I came off the tools
Keep up the good work
Best wishes
Tim 😊👍
I love the innuendo it is hilarious. I must say when you hit the bolt and it shot across the floor I nearly spat my tea out. Great to see mis Hubnut and little Hubnut helping out.
I sensed your frustration Ian. Alternator looked a right pain of a job. Hope all is well now. Awesome HubNut family intro.
Excellent intro and a very good video thank you for sharing all your hard work
I think the fact you don't generally swear really brings it home how much trouble this job was! But good work and great vid 👍😊
Here here good work
She benefitted from your ownership, and doubtless turned a tidy profit…nice work😃👍
Great video loved the description of the serpentine belt
This very much reminds me of doing something similar on my (now deceased!) Mk 1 Focus TDdi, that also had Power Steering and A/C. This job was performed in a similar environment, with (pretty much) the same amount of swearing and the resolution of similar problems issues, such as how can I insert bolts into an area of completely no space and also the requirement of needing a 5 jointed, telescopic, adjustable sized wrist/hand combination!
"We've sent the boy to the car on account of the swearing". I didn't hear him cussing once Ian! 😂😂
Let's hear it for "The Boy" keep telling him to shut up and he may remember that he has access to spanners.
He did say “this went very HubNut, very fast”, though
love the start and well done to everyone involved :)
Great video Ian. HubNut is the kind of mechanic-ing I identify with: stuggling on in the cold and the dark and going home for well deserved drink in the banger you've fixed for tuppence ha'penny.
Literally in this video "I need your clothes, your boots and your alternator". Grand work despite the onslaught of resistance from the car.
I decided to take the day off to do some work on my Audi 80, didnt go all that well. Got in and watched this, cheered me up no end watching Ian cursing away!
When the fun stops, stop! Well done Ian !!
A pat on the back for you Ian, excellent work for sure. Now enjoy the car and now it’s fixed you can concentrate on the rest of the fleet !!
This episode exemplifies why I love this channel!
Now in all seriousness Ian, it was good to see the ‘fire’ inside you show concerning the belt, a trait that we all possess, yet rarely see you demonstrate. Fair play bud. 🤜🤜🤜🤜🤜🤜👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴
Miss HubNut's innuendo is hilarious
What a great addition to the HubNut team
Also...great camera person...
Loving the intro
"Some people suggest that moving the air con out the way and dropping it our would make life easier..."
You're welcome ian 🤣
I actually gave you a round of applause when it started. Well done that HubNut.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR Helpers they did great JOB 😁😁 Love Hub Nut Always Great Time
after a bad day at work this was a joy to watch and a laugh 😂👍
Speaking for myself, I enjoy the innuendo bingo from Ms HubNut together with the uncharacteristic expletive we witnessed!
I wonder if he's a mighty car mods fan?
@@monkehbitch hahaha maybe!
Not only do we get an epic intro & a satisfying conclusion to the alternator saga, but the Ptchooo is back after an absence of some videos lol
Nicely done! Satisfaction with a job like that...
I had to send my child to sit in the car because of the swearing, it's bad enough me turning the air blue without my 12 year old effing and jeffing in my ear.
Nice to hear some proper engineering language from you , keep the faith :)
Totally a top HubNut video!
I'm knackered after watching this episode! Fit the wheel arch liner and as you have said its time for this car to move on to a new owner
Done a good job there. Just like me in my workshop. sometimes you just got to walk away and have a refreshing cup of tea.
It works........sometimes.....
When I started in engineering many moons ago the Time and Motion Engineers reigned supreme. I just wonder if you could get one of these with a clip board and stopwatch if they would discover that you spent more time looking for stuff rather than fixing stuff. Another great video. ... thanks👍🏻👍🏻
Sheer grit and determination and a big dollop of humour won the day
Mini hubnut ( the boy!) Has sussed you out very quickly Ian😂😂
Glad it all came together in the end Ian. It must be said that car engine designers give zero thought to those that have to work on it later down the line. And when it comes to those darn tensioners, they are purely designed to skin knuckles and break fingers! But you got there in the end, that is the main thing. All I would say is don't forget to refit the wheel liner, they keep a lot of dirt and water from getting on to the pulleys and tensioner.
Bloody brilliant intro & an awesome vlog..
Congratulations!! I hope the elation of completing the job was equal to the despondency that you experienced during the work ..
That intro was epic. Thought I was watching a Rocky there! Brilliant
Well done Ian & family!
Much respect Ian and well done!
i like the innuendo!
keep it coming finbar 😛
Really felt your pain there! Delighted for you that you got it sorted. Modern cars, eh? They'll never catch on! You mark my words!
Hahaha your right Hahaha
Glad to see Rita has the new alternator, what a fun adventure it's been :)
Great camera work from Miss Hubnut, but a special shout out must go to "The Boy" for cable handling skills and wry comments. What a trooper. Good effort by all involved.
Top HubNut tinkering. Absolute joy.
Congratulations Ian, well done sir!
Hahaha I'm behind on your videos, just laughed out loud at that intro 😂
P.s we bloody love the innuendo 👍
I am proud of you for using the mats!!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant, Master Hubnut has conquered the rover, had a mouthful of tea when you swore, spat that out lol
I’m amazed at how simple the Rover 75 is to work on. No trouble at all really. Sarcasm.
Hahaha NOT funny!
Gotta love innuendos, they brighten the day. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴
Good job you are completing the task yourself.
I’d hate to imagine the costs involved of getting it repaired at a garage, what with the 3 days of Labour involved thus far 😉
Congratulations!! 🥳
Good job done there , so professional.
Must of been the new clothes that helped.
I replaced the alternator on my Renault 21, once a week for four weeks, until I was sold the correct one. I have much sympathy.
I was once in that position with a Talbot Alpine clutch; until the one that it ‘couldn’t possibly be’ fitted perfectly!
Same on my mk3 escort.......constant trips to the scrap yard .....
Tractor alternator - 3 alternators from supplier A didn't work at all so got one from supplier B which did work.
Also had this experience back in the day. Including arguing with the scrapyard staff about whether the dead one they sold me was actually dead. Prevailed, though. It was a much easier alternator to replace - large front engine rear drive American car, with the alternator 'right there' & easy to get out from above.
@@boggy7665 yeah .........but in mine too
The battery n starter motor at same time !!!!! Also ........so ...I couldn't afford to do all 3 at once !!!!!🤪🤪🤪😫😂😂😂😂
After much of this and that, success! Reattach the plastic liner when inclement weather has passed. Thoroughly enjoyed this, and the "assistants" were invaluable as well. See, persistence pays off!
Hopefully, this won't need to be done for quite a while.
Never again!
Good job, well done
Now get rid of it before it breaks again
A very miffed mr hubnut although I’m not surprised it looks a total pain in the rear end! Yay Result!
