- Will a master cylinder rebuild restore stopping power in my 1992 Oltcit? It's a cast-off Citroen design built in Romania if you were wondering. It's ace.

Mark appears to be a godsend. I enjoyed this very much, thanks Ian.
By the looks of things, on screen, bringing Mark on board has been absolutely the right thing to do. Giving a kick start to a project by getting help with complicated or two-person jobs always lifts the spirits. Can't wait see the Oltcit on the road 👍
my dad always used to give me somthing to hold when I was a kid. He would thne say "watching is helping" :)
I had a parish priest that did something similar..
Been trying to encourage the missus to do the very same.
With some people 'watching' is definitely helping as they are keeping out of the way!
He was right, if he was trying to teach you by example then being there and paying attention is just as essential as the teacher being there and making the repair!
@@cappaculla lol, nice, jimmy saville said that to me
That Olcit is going to go where no Olcit has gone before
And being able to stop when it gets there, bonus.
Mr Seabrook, Just when I feel like throwing down the spanners and giving up trying to repair my old car, you make a video like this. And totally redeem my faith!
On that side of things, do check out the recent Revzilla video where they recreate the ride to Aspen on the minibike in real life. It's a good watch.
These cars used to be everywhere 20 years ago, now they are rare even in Romania. Lots of them were catching fire.
Something to look forward to in the future.
eu am avut 7 ani un Olcit. Stiu, se mai iau foc daca nu se verifica periodic intrarea benzinei in carburator. Sunt doua tevi acolo, si se mai lasa din cand in cand.

Stopping is good. Well done Mark. Now you need to get it to start a bit better. Stuff is working on HubNut.
Ahhhh don't jinx it!
Don't you like cranking, welcome to the real car world!
Ian, just my opinion but I think Mark is a keeper!
Don't tell Miss Hubnut ...
Watching you driving the oltcit with brakes is like when your child rides their bike without stabilisers and doesn't fall off..👍🏻
Yay Project Oltcit continues to improve. Glad you're managing to make the Oltcit dream a reality
Mark has been a star !
Well done Mark & Ian. The simple pleasure of fixing things together. Good work chaps.
A good helping hand is a huge positive boost to the mental state when working on a project car. Excellent work both.
Your Oltcit 2 was worth the money, because she's in pretty good order. 👍🏻
Can't believe how much I like this car, it's so cool in every way! Great progress and Mark is a godsend, makes working on stuff more fun when there's a pal with you.
Brilliant!! Can't wait to see this gem back on the road.
Good progress there, glad to see sketchy jacking and no axle stand to feed the H&S brigade 🤣 nice to hear the fire damaged one being called “spares car” you know it makes sense. Next years FOTE winner?
I wouldn't work on a car without an axle stand, why take the risk?
I know what you mean about the H&S Brigade, but I have to agree with them for once on this one - ever since my VW Transporter fell off its jack. The brake disc fell within millimeters of amputating my fingers. Fortunately it only pinched the skin but it really hurt!!!
You know you are at the start of a project when you say that stopping is an achievement. It is however great that you have been able to get it back to a condition of drivability, and save another car from the crap heap, well done you both.
'Stay out of the way and make tea instead ' my new motto for life. Thank you Hubnut 😊
In France:-
LN = Helene
LNA = Helena
Just following in the DS/ID tradition!
Making the tea and holding the torch is my usual job when my mate is working on my car lol.
It's a brave man who tests his brakes by first driving into his garage.
Project Oltcit is on track.
You certainly enjoying the tinkering and Mark Is a God send helping, so happy to see you happy with getting on with tinkering jobs on the fleet.
Excellent. I have to admit to liking Odette Oltcit a lot more than I thought I would!
I prefer Olga, more eastern bloc!
Very happy to see Project Oltcit moving along
It's in absolutely amazing condition, I think you did well with this one.
Brilliant, and just when I thought there was no stopping you. I'm liking this car more in every episode. Good work on the brakes.
Loving the Oltcit progress, but I'll be the first to call for a Mighty Dacia update!
This car is slowly growing on me, with it being structurally sound mechanical tinkering seems more enjoyable
You and Mark make a good team and making good progress with the oltcit. He looks like the kind of man for a chemmy rebuild. Great entertainment as usual. 👍
What a beautiful little Oltcit, that red suits it so well. And actually a better looking car to my eyes than the Visa (having had a Visa 11RE which was great). Nice to see you guys working on it together.
Progress!! When you went for the first start I was looking at your feet in the foot well thinking please put your foot on the clutch, but no, and whoops, Mark is kneecapped!
same here I could see that happening before it did.
Oh happy day! The quirky OLTCIT is running and stopping. Hurra! I'm at least as glad as you are; I love this car. I'm looking forward to the steering problem solution video. Take care and greetings to Mark! ✨🔥😃🔥✨
This car is also known as the Citroen Axel, the car became the AX, Citroen visa was bigger and was replaced by the ZX, the visa lived on for many years as the Citroen C15 diesel van and camper. Nice oddity is the Olcit, it’s good that your bring this car back to life.
Hoping it progresses to an MOT! Well done!
Mark you are a genius
Very nice work! I like this car. It is very cose and I am in love with the binnace and dash setup, the interior headliner, and the seats of course.
Glad to see you progressing on this car. Also glad I am managing to spend some time again on watching HubNut.
Cheers from Belgium!
Great progress Ian and of course Mark. I’m very much looking forward to more videos on the Oltcit.
Ian. When I was first learning to drive I was alway s told to depress the clutch because 1“ it creates less strain on the battery to turn over the gearbox internals “ & 2 “ in case it’s been left in gear” I never fully understood 1 but 2 always made sense especially if my dad was under the bonnet !😉
The confidence of a man who tests his newly repaired brakes by driving directly towards his other cars…..
Nothing like a bit of company and two heads on stuff like this. Lovely to see some progress, looking forward to the eventual comparison having had and loved a Citreon Visa Club years ago.
Fixes brakes almost gets knocked down, such is life 😉😂 excellent job👍
I'm very impressed, from CZcams tinkerer to Tea Boy in just two video's :))))))
Glad you got Citroen parts! I had an LNA in that exact colour - very fun little car but without the sexy dashboard :(
My new favourite HubNut car (sorry Elly and TWC). Oh I DO love weird and wonderful... it feels so ME! Mark seems to be a 'treasure'. Quiet, but able and THERE.
Very nice underside! That's a gem of a buy me thinks! And its got disc brakes on the rear, excellent!
I love it, i love it, I LOVE IT! Nice progress, thanks to Mark! Keep the flow going, Ian. And when you're done with the other Oltcit, just send her over to me. ;-)
well done for getting the oltcit fixed!
The making of tea is of paramount importance.
The whole enterprise falls apart without it!
What the old british empire was built on :>)
You're never too old to learn by making tea & watching how it's done, if you can push a broom around the workshop floor at the same time you will have the makings of a great apprentice ,that's what my mentor said to me ,over Fourty years ago,still rings true today Ian.
Well done to you both.
Wonderful news. I may be foolishly optimistic but I am beginning to look forward to the possibility of an heroic delivery caper of a new pair of wings for Rich by Oltcit. How cool would that be!
Mark is the patron saint of the broken underdog. 👍
Interesting badge and video as well. Don't worry about that starting, nothing worse than my old school bus starting up in afternoon at school, it never liked starting up again after getting there earlier in the day lol.
When I started messing with cars we always rebuilt brake cylinders. It was only successful about 50 percent of the time but still worth a go as parts were very expensive. Good motor factors could match a seal from the old one.
Also bleed screws were a luxury as they had usually been snapped off however there is always a way to bleed stuff without the bleader if you think about it hard enough.
Looks really clean underneath. This car is a keeper. ;)
This video is every reason I love Hubnut. Long may you continue to flame my interest in unremarkable cars! Really looking forward to this one being roadworthy
You should not be embarrassed. The making of tea is vitally important for these sort of jobs. 👍
Ian, If possible, You may want to drive it for quite a few miles to burn out all of the old petrol. I am not sure that you can due to the status of the registration, but I believe that it will continue to run better and better the more you drive it. Great Video!!
Great work by you and Mark, I really like the Oltcit quite a smart design and I love the wacky Citroen dash. Unlike the Rustcit it seems in such lovely condition too, the only negative is left hand drive which is unavoidable of course. Look forward to see more of the project and the Visa comparison vid.
Congratulations Ian & Mark on getting the Oltcit brake's working properly. Here's to getting the Steering sorted out next on the Oltcit. Keep up with the great work.👍
When I flushed the Mini's fuel system, after an ethanol related fuel tank change, I bought four disposable fuel filters and just kept the tank really topped up and changed them often. Seemed to help get the last of it out before it hit the carb!
The more I see the Oltcit the more I like it. Great purchase and great job Ian!
This was awesome. Really great to see real progress over the last month on Project Oltcit. Well done both.
Really enjoying your recent videos, Ian. It's great to see you back to tinkering, bodging and fettling the cars, along with the narration. Excellent form!
Been watching a number of your videos over the last few weeks. Just hit the subscribe button and the first notification is for this. I think I have a soft spot for your Olcit.
Hi Ian, did you know that there appears to be a red Oltcit shown in the opening credits of Only Fools and Horses ?
It's amazing how much difference having the ability to stop makes to the feeling of driving a car...
Marks getting a spin off. Great video.
I'm delighted you're making progress on this car and have a bit of help. One thing though. I'd like to see more of what Mark is doing along the way too. Maybe he might be willing to explain his progress too?
I had Oltcit for 7 seven years. This car has brought me many unpleasant surprises......
Excellent progress so far!
That dashboard is quite mad, right down to the square instrument markings. I love it.
Mark, HubNut's Car Wizard!
My Nipples are Seized here today too, 13°..! Tweat and thay will snap off..!!
Another entertaining video from Mr Hubnut & Mark. Thx for the Exciting times..!!
Cheers kim in Oz..!! 😎
Well done to both of you! Time for a refreshing beer or two!
Well, we had a success cup of tea...
This is a 11R. Might have some Dacia (Renault 12) parts. In the late 80, due to Ceausescu’s policy on imports, they had Dacia wheels which made the car look wider. Also, they has some brake parts here and there. However, after 1990, until the end of production, they went back to Citroen parts.
Yours is a 11R which has, I think, the 1100 cc engine. It is aircooled and, if I’m not wrong, a V4 displacement. Former owners used to complain about ignitiom and fuel system, it was a pain in the ass to make everything work.
Make sure you have a plastic plate that you slide in the front of the fan in the winter. As it is an aircooled engine, you might have trouble with the cabin heating. That is why that plate is important. If you don’t have it, you can make one.
Glad you’re back to tinkering Ian, very inspiring 😃 glad you opted to keep the parts car, if you’ve got the space it can be a godsend.
Rear discs! Posh! There is something oddly satisfying about bleeding brakes....not sure why but I do like it!
Great progress on the OltCit. Looking forward to hearing the flat four in this example 😎
For some reason I absolutely love the feeling of the hydraulic pressure returning after working on the braking system and getting a nice firm pedal once again. I am weird, but its okay.
fine bit of progress on her !!she stops now Mark great cool job on the seals ..+ looks good for corrosion underneath 😀
Glad to see good progress on this car. Really starting to like the little oltcit 🙂
Crud in a red Citroen's fuel tank? I feel a copyright claim coming...
LOL. Factory standard!
Great vid again. Love the Olcit. Interesting car. Great to see it stopping and sort of running.
Cool clean simple car. And a nice dashboard. Good decision to buy this.
Hi Ian well done to the pair of you great success, and making the tea and Holding things is a most important job. can't wait to see the next job.
It’s alive!!
Why did this remind me of the sound of the seventies in the winter with the repeated reluctant starts?😂
Sorry HubNut, but river Olt does not flow thru Craiova (where was the Oltcit factory). The O in the badge is for Oltenia, the province. Craiova is the head city of Oltenia, hence Olt(enian)Cit(roën). Cheers!
Brilliant video Ian 👍
Nearly ready for the road! Excellent work fellas!
The one we'd been waiting for. I swear, if you got into the driver's seat blindfolded, took it off to that instrument and controls array, you might be forgiven if you expected the exterior to have been designed by Luigi Collani, well perhaps very early in his career.
Good work 👍
Going is good. Stopping when required is better.
As far back as 1967, the British Army decreed that the term “grease/bleed nipple” might be offensive to members of the Women’s Royal Army Corps, and that henceforth they would be known as “greasing/bleed points” not nipples. The WRAC girls then spent much time and energy in talking loudly about nipples in the hope of making the Young Officers blush!! Thought you'd like to know!!
Ian I injoyed the video thankyou take care 😊👍🏻
I hope you and Mark get on alright. He certainly seems to know his way around various vehicles.
Everyone needs a Mark🤗
Ian try putting a one way valve before the petrol pump, they are cheap off sneezebay, that will then keep fuel in the pump and above it, save's battery.
My dad's 2CV was a Cit, it was missing the lower chevron from the grille, then later it just be came a _______, because the whole of the middle part of the grille disappeared at some point... :P
The new channel favorite is coming together 🤓👍
Ain't nothin' like a rust-free Ostrich that stops......Wakka!-Wakka!
