- Well, that was a close call!
In this video, we did a brake service on a Jaguar s S-Type 2006, replacing Front Brake Pads and Discs and also the Rear Pads and Discs. Following that, we replaced an Inner Tie-rod and Control Arm for an MOT failed Nissan Qashqai. We then followed that up by diagnosing a Fiat 500 with failed Number Plate light... oh and there's more. Mark's Motors kindly handed us a Clutch Replacement Job for a Vauxhall Astra J 1.6 Petrol, we then found out later on that her gearbox has failed, more than her clutch so we supplied her with a second-hand gearbox. On our way back to her... something very serios happened to van!

Recently started watching your videos and can I suggest is it worth making up something like a railway sleeper with stabilizing feet so that if the vehicle slips off its jacks you have some chance of being safe or maybe a couple of old stacked van wheels bolted together to make one stand. You know the van wheels with a raised inner boss like twin wheel Transits have and bolted face to face? Keep it up chaps you're doing a great job.
Great work lads 👍🏻
Thank you 🫡
Hearing the wheel bearing I would definitely have that done. Nice job.
well done guys another great video
I've been watching your videos for a while I am not a macanic but I do repair my own car I know not all people are car minded but I thought just looking over your car you would notice potential issues which would avoid mot failures and car breakdowns keep up the good work love your videos
Good videos although unlike most car CZcamsrs you don't show us any how to so we can fix our own cars you're still a good content creator
Maybe its a good idea to chek your van once a week before using it just to be safe. Your doing a lot of mileage. glad you guys save.
Yhup. Literally got a checklist now. Funny thing is, I do. I’m not sure what happened to this one as last time I checked, about 3 weeks ago, everything was fine.
Time for a new van…
Get yourself a pop-up gazebo keep yourself dry and keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
I'm a DIY electrician,a mechanics son,just put QH pads and discs on my wife's polo 6r,they seem good quality and yes they were coated so no need to clean,my dad always said Quinton Hazel were damn good,got them of eBay for £50 all in
Brill videos guys,I like your enthusiasm and good honest work you do,looks like you enjoy too which always helps 👌
DIY mechanic that is,professional electrican 🤣
Cheers mate! Wish I was a sparky! In another life I guess 🤷🏽♂️😂
Hi Marvelous , this is why I’ve recently changed my Sons rubber brake pipes on his nearly 18yr old Mondeo to stop what you had happening , we are still trying to sort the brake pedal issue out after we messaged you the other day , we’ve bled the rear manually & some more air did come out , now we doing the front when we get time & will let you know the results 👍
You’ll get there mate! That air coming out at the rear is a good sign on getting a full pedal! Nice job 💪🏽
6:44 I love it 😀 never had an issue seems 100% fine to me I'd fit it on my car but probs not a customer unless if I had to.
That Starline brand from Euro doesn’t seem that bad either for suspension parts BUT not that much data to compare to just yet
I couldn’t use different manufactures has to be all same my ocd will kick in 😂
You’ve got to invest in a pop up gazebo,enjoyed the video quality work as always.
We have one. Just can’t be asked to set up sometimes 😂
@@themarvelousvlogit's arsed,
Sorry
You would think they would notice the clunking in the steering wheel with those track rod ends! It will be a false economy if they don't get the tracking done and end up getting new tyres as well. I heard that those Nissan's have the rear suspension arms disintegration with rust problems! You know it makes a big difference using the OEM parts like valeo. The clutches are nice and smooth and you don't get juddering and things like that from a cheap clutch. Maybe something got caught up from on the road or a tree branch inside your wheel and damaged the brake hose?
I always wait for your videos to be uploaded. Love watching them bro 🤙🏼
Also what camera you use to film the videos bro ? If you don't mind telling.
GoPro Hero 12 Pal. I need to upgrade to the DJI Osmo. Wanna donate me one? 😂
@@themarvelousvlog I was about to asl you the same, if you wanted yo give away one of those 😂😂😂
Hopefully one day I will do that. 🤙🏼
Thanks for replying too bro. Keep up with the sick videos.
I wish I had these skills!
As a s-type owner same in video this cars eat wheel hubs ım not jokin only chronic problem in this cars every s-types have this problem often,you must be use oem or genuine parts not aftermarket borg&beck is really good in jaguar spares also ım using ferodo discs and borg and beck pads greetings from turkey
Can’t believe he’s driving a jag in such poor condition.

Great video mate, got a link to that blowtorch you got there?
From Toolstation mate. Just toe in MAP Torch and it should come up as a set for £70ish. Cheers pal!
LOL. Gearbox, brand new secondhand

Has someone spray painted John's head? 😂😂
He gets his sister to do it 💀
@@themarvelousvlog🤣😭😭
Nice to see the correct application for copper grease 😂
I didn’t bitch about it this time, did I? 😂😂😂
@@themarvelousvlog no spot on 🤣
Just wanna say again how much I enjoy your channel and how much better it is getting
When doing the tie rods have u tried using one of those portable battery operated laser wheel aligners like the ones from gunson and sealey? or are they really inaccurate?
I haven’t really used one. To be honest with you though, I wouldn’t do a wheel alignment mobile because of the very uneven surfaces that come across…
I prefer ceramic grease over copper grease.
Thats mad regarding the brakes on your van. A sheer coincidence as last week my brother was driving his audi a6 and he had total brake failour amd had to swerve to other lane. Excact same thing happend..the brake hose to caliper from brake line. Cost him 14 quid for a padgid hose and me fitting it and of course bleeding that line as the pedal went to the floor cos of air
I could only imagine the fear mate. Had 2 other men in the van with me. Probably the scariest close call I’ve ever had in my life!
Glad to hear your brother is safe and sound
@@themarvelousvloghope something like this never happens to me, infact to anyone,
You up top👆 your Bro lucky man good to hear he's come out safely and you 3 marvellous vlog 100%
Brand new second hand 😂
Fin ell that Nissan dont think ive seen so many advisories! The blow torch what do you use. ive seen theres 2 gasses and ones like oxy but hard to get and the others not much better than a blow torch
Tell me about it! After Christmas he said 👀😂
Everytime I see your little Doggie Bro he’s just inside your service unit hangin on the window , is the little Bro not being allowed to play outside?
When you replace the ecu with 2nd hand one do you need to do any thing els or is it just plug and go ? Thanks
You need to code it in to the car mate. Not as simple as that unfortunately
@themarvelousvlog is that because of the immobiliser? And how much does it cost roughly to code it for say a astra 1.4 2009 you think. Cheers
Did you go to gsf because it was closer or because it was slightly cheaper. For some reason peugeot 308 pads from euros is £50 but gsf £30 for delphis which is what I've been using
Can’t fault Delphi to be honest. For this one, GSF was MILES closer to where I was so opted in for that. I just find it to be similar quality as other top brands out there tbh
@@themarvelousvlog fairs I will say it is cheaper so if a customer doesn't like price GSF might be a good option
What type of warranty do you give when the customer goes for the cheap and nasty ?? At times i feel you pain ,i do the heavies in a dealership ,currently have a customer ,vehicle pressurising amd water in the sump ,it has blown the head gasket and a couple of cylinder liners have dropped ..Had a engineering shop out to quote for recutting the seats ,Priced all the parts required with liners .25 oversize ,,Customer wants standard liner and it's seats left as it will be a shunter...Disaster written all over it ,Done cheap and nasty and they will demand a full warranty
One thing people don’t realise is when the pedal goes to the floor,that rubber on the piston has got to travel or does then travel the full length of the bore ,and that’s usually we’re it comes into contact or can Coe into contact with crap down that bore , I don’t like using a full travel on brake bleeding,because sometimes it can cause more problems,And I don’t do problems.plus I always do a runout clearance on any rotor I replace. Never had a come back on brakes ,for squeaks ect. Not like the garage I used to work for. ,They used to just throw the pads in. That place was clown city. Quality was low ,prices were sky high.I once went with the owner the parts shop ,And we was getting a clutch. Anyway the LUK clutch was literally £5.00!more than the cheaper chocolate cake one,So I said to the man ,hers get us the LUK one,At that moment the boss said ,wow what are you doing,he said it’s not the £5.00 difference,he said think that one only going to last 2 years and he,ll be back.put the LUK one in and he won’t,because it’ll last longer than the car.he had a point,It was a horrible feeling,when he was ripping people off,I hated it ,so I left in the end.Anyway lads keep it up ,And try and get some cover in the winter ,Gazebo or similar,F working in the rain,can’t have the snap on crap getting rusty.Snap on has gone a bit down hill recently. Some of that blue point stuff is crap . Had the 77 piece service set.was doing a clutch on a 206 puegout with a 7m 3/8?socket and it snapped. Ended up using a £6.00 one from Halfords and it done the job.ended up giving most of them away.Same thing happened the other day Halfords saved the day again doing a bearing on a transit and my 3/8 t 45 socket broke again on a Sunday,got a £11.00 cheapo set from Halfords,And hey they didn’t break.Hardly use them now ,Just let the Halfords stuff get rusty, snap on can sit in their nice shiny box ,Looking good,probably make a few quid when I get shut of them.Their ratchets always need repair kits, I use falcon ,much better and comfortable.Anyway stay warm brothers,Cause it’s going to get cold ,
Using crappy brands makes me cringe nowadays to be honest. I always say to my customers that if low-end brands are used, no warranty or guarantee on the job.
I know a lot of garages who do the same thing that your old workplace do- can’t stand it!
I only bring Halfords stuff out. I don’t care if it gets rained on. I just walk in and get it replaced if they break 😂
Thank you for watching our video mate. We appreciate it!
You seem a honest guy, nice,
Which Garage do you work for now? And where?
I need to find someone like you and marvellous vlog near me as all the garages I've gone to up my way seem dodgy as 🤬 ,that's a no no when you are playing with people's life's
You must lose so much time due to weather. You work right through the year like this?
Yes A LOT! We’ve been doing this for quite some time now. All I can say is - TOUGHEN US! 💪🏽
@@themarvelousvlog Big respect good to see hardworking young men, thats not easy in yhe UK. Get that bag 💪
I thought you said in a previous video that you didn't recommend copper crease because once the grease has gone you're left with copper which is not ideal
Not recommended on things that gets hot and moves I.e the brakes pins and runners because the grease eventually ‘melts’ away and the copper stays, which can seize stuff in place- only acceptable on parts that doesn’t move i.e Mounting Bolts etc…Also not ideal to use on aluminium due to galvanic corrosion
@@themarvelousvlog gotcha, thanks for clarification that makes sense
Those lower arms from drive tech are crap, ive had to swap out a set 12 months after fitting because they failed. No warranty...
Couldn’t agree enough mate. Defo no warranty included if customer opts in for cheaper parts
Is that the best way to get astra gearbox out? Drop subframe and remove hub...
Don’t even need to take hub out mate. Just drop the frame on one side. Remove the drop link OS, remove OS subframe frame bolts, loosen NS subframe bolts and remove exhaust mountings that attaches to the subframe. Should be gold!
Best way is to eat pizza and relax. Get marvellous mechanic brown boys to fix it. Why you wasting your time and energy?
@@themarvelousvlog thanks for the advice 🙏 hopefully will go well
@@mrsinghspizza1160 true 😂 always worked on my own cars
@kingsleyhirst4554 good luck!
getting a decent amount of subs now, next year you should be on your way to having youtube pay you a few quid, DELPHI seems to be my go to cheaper option now for quite a few brake / suspension items from GFS , MOOG seem to of gone down hill and just arnt lasting that long and from google i dont seem to be the only one of this opinion either
Keep your opinion to yourself.
I wish delphi was cheap 😭
My go to for suspension parts is Lemforder, TRW, FAI and Optimal. Cheap will be Starline and Drivetec 🤢 🤮
@@themarvelousvlog and Sachs , boge (all part of zf group which includes lemforder and TRW too)
@@mrsinghspizza1160 i wish youd STOP keeping your sister to your self, pass her round and let us all enjoy her
@@themarvelousvlog Lemforder, TRW, are both OEM to loads of parts to cars from factory , although sometimes can be quite expensive it can be worth paying the expense to not having to keep doing the same job over when your cheaper part fails. TRW can be expensive as hell tho for replacment calipers if you buy them from ECP
So ehats the best way to get in contact with you guys? Did send an email but no response from you
We receive a bunch emails a day. We try to go through as much as we can:

That Nissan diff that blew up was probably caused by mismatched tires. Apparently they lock and unlock when they detect slippage (in consistent wheel speeds). There is a tech that has a short on it. It causes the pinion gear to fail.

How many phones have you been through, I cant be the only person that cringes when you drop a gearbox out and your phone is always below it 😂
4 in total now. Insurance is 🔑😂
If customer don't want quality parts personally wouldn't touch job. saves thr hassle if part fails etc
Make them sign a waiver that says no warranty/guarantee on the job. I always say this to my customer if the opt-in for the cheap parts
@@themarvelousvlog bro I want to see you eat a pizza in the next video, while working on a car. That’s my dream come true
I use to do mobile mechanics for a bit and all the while I had people phone me up saying I just need part I have brought fitted and i would always say regardless of if it is exspensive or cheap part they have brought that's fine but i dont give any warranty or guarantee on parts I have not supplied.
Definitely mate! Never will I give warranty on a job with parts that ‘I don’t know’ where it came from 😂
I did ask for a quote but never got a reply 😞
Depending on how bad your brakes are, I would never change all four discs and pads on the same day, doing a emergency stop with all the pads not bedded in at the same time is a bad idea.
Change the worst pads front or back ,then change the others a couple of days later.
Never heard of this before…
Best practice is you break it in for the customer, which takes about 10-15 mins anyway. Don’t see why changing all 4 is a bad idea, unless you don’t break it in, even then, it’s still not bad; just don’t forget to pump the brakes before handing 🔑 to customer 😂.
I’d understand if it was 15-20 years ago but technology has changed, A LOT…
Sorry didn't Realise you broke them in for the customer, didn't happen in my day.
Thing is, with the new GEOMET coating that a lot of good brand uses, that helps the disc and pads break in to each other; less faff for the tech to do
From watching your videos I get the impression the AA and RAC are shite bro 👽 🐮 🍻
Nah not at all mate. They’re brilliant in my opinion
@@themarvelousvlog yeah right ha ha
