Why does Alex always stand like he is carrying a sheep under each arm?
Lil boy think he fit af
Because Alex is THICCC.
I belive he keeps confusing hairsprsy with his deodorant
@HassanPoyo i mean he is tho
his arms aren't even being held out by his muscle. he's just standing like they are lelll
This is a typical car maintenance experience. Break 3 things to fix 1
Except they missed out the bit where the wrench slips, you gouge a huge chunk of flesh out of your hand on an adjacent sharp piece of metal, and spend the next six hours waiting in casualty...
Get it up you you just flexed on all of us Americans with that😔 come on man snap-on not fair at least my wrench wasn’t 400 dollars
Get it up you snap-on has their place but not with people who just need tools yeah if ur doing 15 cars a week for life snap on is worth the investment but ur telling me a whole tool case being 15k is cheep😭🤣🤣
Richard Peers So you don’t wrap some gaff tape over the wound and just keep working?
Why is my clutch position sensor so god damn close to my clutch safety release!?
Alex: "Touch wood"
Also Alex: *touches crotch*
Lost it 😂😂😂
ZavBlue haha 😂
Cock knock
Wait.... I thought every one did that?!
TomzMotoVlogz yes
TomzMotoVlogz well they do, right?
Not gonna lie, Alex and Jack turning Ethan into a car guy is adorable.
@Get it up you What actually happened with Gareth?
Alex: "Were you keeping your eye on the needle"
Ethan: "Yeah, but I think it was the wrong one"😂😂😂
i was going out with Ellie, and at one point it (read: the needle) came up .. when it became too hot😂
Who needs gauges? I just started my channel where I take trucks up into the bush and wreck em. Hoping to make some folks laugh!
@@bushtruck nobody cares
who would laugh from things being destroyed anyway
unless it's like the top gear airport vehicle racing challenge
that was funny
@@poiiihy Well everyone is entitled to their opinion! Thanks for reaching out! I don't wreck em too hard by the way...yet
@@poiiihy Everyone who watches Monster Truck rallies?
Alex: she's probably forgotten she has a car
Ellie: I'd nearly forgotten I had a car!!!
magic of television/editing videos...
Just like Oregon in Fresh Meat
Ethan’s extra swear-y today :D
I would be to lol 😂
reeeee why dont they use worm gear clamps, sometimes those spring clamps are a real pain
Scrap it 👌🏻
@BoredArmour you stupid?
I love that they bleep everything except 'oh bullshit' 😂
This is what most DIY-inclined men look like when they try to fix something. Turning a 1 hour job into a 2 week job.
Even the best mechanics snap a bolt or two. They also keep your car for about 3 weeks just to do a simple job.
Work expands to fill the time available
But the best mechanics will try to get the snapped bolt out using tricks like welding a nut on it or using a swiss pipe wrench first before try to drill it out.
@@maarten332 Forgive the roadside amateur mechanic for not carrying a welder with him
@@jase6709 lol, if it aint out the shop within two days?
we gonna ring you and harass you tbh.
Let's be honest, Ethan's presence is why we're all here.
sure definitely
yes
of course
meh
yes
swear words, brute force and ignorance is the only way how you repair a car yourself
Also hammers
Also breaking exhaust 8mm mount bolts
after destroying it
destroy things when trying to get it apart; put it back together with replacement parts :P
Or get anything else done in life really.
When i heard Ethan curse, it gave me a serious backflash to my 12th birthday when my dad gave me a moped so i could start to learn how to wrench. That wasn't the only thing i've learned that day...
atleast you got a moped... even though you couldnt legally drive it
backflash.... *facepalm* its flashback!!!!!
@@nugsnotdrugs1423 Backflash LOOOOOL
Alex: what’s this?
Ellie: Air filter
Alex: what’s this?
Ellie: Plastic
Well done Ellie you now know as much as Ethan
I genuinly believe you need a series titled: "Ethan fixes cars", and legit just buy him shitboxes to fix.
Alex: what’s this
Ellie: plastic
I mean, she’s right...
Yeah she's not wrong
I know right !?
what is that anyway? i didn't recognize it as anything other than some plastic
@@poiiihy battery cover
@@davidk2628 wait if that's the battery cover then what's on the extreme left side?
Love Ethan’s confidence, fixing a car in a blinding white shirt. Baller : )
I like how Ellie is so easily excited with just about everything, lol
Yeah that don't sound pervy at all.
@@whiteboi3818 just reporting what I’m seeing. Would’ve mentioned if it was a guy too. Probably would’ve said something if that person was pessimistic or anything standing out character-wise. Obviously you’re over thinking.
Actually fixed the overheating 206 1.6 16v of my sister several days ago. A wire for the cooler fan snapped so it could only run at low speed. It does have 2 settings. So it used to overheat when driving at low speed or standing.
5:45 I think the beep machine ran out.
14:07 - Ethan has finally become a roadman
Ye what next lol
"Can we fix a car for £50?"
week and a half goes by, housing gets ordered..
Go on, what was the final budget?
Ethan would’ve probably found those hose clips easier if you had been using anywhere near the right tool!
Where's the fun in using the right tool?
Nimmo1492 being able to do the job properly and without injuring yourself 🙄
@@johngarland6782 how is that funny ?
@@johngarland6782 That's just part of the experience!
Yeahhhh but what diy-er has the money to buy literally every specialised tool for removing hose clips, jubillie clips and Clic-r clips?
Ethan has never - or just very rarely - removed a hose clip. Alex clearly has experience working on cars and can make good use of tools available. Not hard to do any job if you have the specific tool. But when a tool costs more than its worth to a diy-er, they're gonna make do with what they have.
Including Ellie in the videos just has a whole different vibe
She should be featured more imo
If it's overheating have you checked the state of the wiring and relays for the cooling fan? They get very crusty on these as they sit behind the cover behind the front bumper.
9:56 when ur project car shows check engine light just after 2 mins of driving 😂😅😅
Ethan was so determined 😂
F 2
This just perfectly explains the time frame we all lie to ourselves about when fixing cars
"Hey Guys; EthanFix here"
2:46 Your "engine" flushes real nice😉 (ethan)
Hahahaha
Would you have recommended spraying some WD40 on that, would it have possibly prevented that bolt from snapping?
also need to hit with hammer couple times, light or medium taps on bolt, then little bit screw it out, spray some wd40, screw back in and out little bit, then spray again and leave for couple minutes, doing that i never snapped bolts
I don't think it would help at all. It is aluminium housing so there is no rust. And there is no rust on the bolt either. WD-40 is good for bolts seized in rust.
If you let it soak for a day, then pump some more in it, it'll probably snap. Torch would be more effective and much quicker
Its peugeot bolts they will snap no matter what😅
Jk
@@DashCamSerbia Try and search for Galvanic corrosion aluminum and steel. It's not called rust but there's a reaction between the bolt and casing. If WD40 will work on it I don't know though.
5:40
Ethan perfectly summed up what working on your car is like 😂
Bro, you do know that housing has a rubber gasket to seal without using that instant gasket shit. Probably cost like 2 quid.
Love this video as it shows a realistic show of what its really like working on a car in the UK! :)
Cheers for posting a video about overheating on the 3rd hottest UK day ever lmao
37°C here in Germany. My advice is never ever get a flat under the roof...
Pethetic , 55 c here
Arman Nn let me guess nevada? Death Valley? Australia? The sun?
Cicero the jester iran 🇮🇷, 53.7 degrees to be precise
I live in North Wales and because of the Northern England lockdown, all the English have come here for a dayvisit. Everywhere is full and I basic can’t leave my house to go anywhere so I’m sitting here watching this while melting hahahahaha kill me
"Can We Fix An Overheating Car For £50?" Not if its a rover k series engine!
S Hopkins are you referring to the head gasket issue that was sorted years ago? 🤣
You can, a used k series is like £50, simple swap.
Don't remind me please
then... 49?
Fixed mine for less
5:33 the look of regret on Ellie's face for letting you guys work on her car is priceless.
Alex! Top tip! I fixed my halfords Pro socket set box last week with a couple of household door hinges and some 20mm screws. Granted it looks weird (OEM minus?) but after spilling them all over the floor many, MANY times over the last 10 years I dont care what it looks like. Pure luxury - Go do it and smile every time you pick it up by its handle 😅👍✌
We need more Ellie and Ethan please!!!!
I got the notification for this video while I’m watching it.
My husband says this is a typical day for a car mechanic; due to customer neglect, something breaks - something difficult to source at short notice - and then the customer rants and accuses you of swapping out good parts just to jack up the labour costs.
A buddy of mine and I switched out my trucks radiator a few days ago. Spent three hours looking for a bolt we lost in the engine bay. Keep up the good work, great video!
No wonder hes having a hard time with the hose clamps your using a damn needle nose! Use bigger pliers!
There is a set of pliers designed for them clips.
long bent nose needle nose pliers work well
@@Supraboyes Yes. And also one that operates by a wire, so you can reach much tighter places.
maybe they just didnt bring them
Agreed, those clips are the worst! Mole grips or water pump pliers!
13:38 Nice and safe way to leave a chisel! 🤦♂️
Hey guys i have to say i really enjoyed this video a lot , hopefully you could make more 'fix it' videos in the very near future . already subbed and of course liked. keep up the great work.
Please do more of these repair/maintainance videos. I'm learning alot and like ellie I've also got a high milage hero peugeot so I need all the help I can get.
Off to check my coolant level.
Chameleon TVR is parked. “Wow look at that volvo”
Alex: "now let's put in some coolant"
*puts in de-ionised water*
@Sumit Rangle antifreeze is the coolant, hence why he said to dispose of it properly
@Sumit Rangle totally understand that. I usually use premixed coolant, hence the confusion on my part. I thought you were saying just water🤦♂️
@@sweatybandit0 Antifreeze just prevents the heat medium from freezing which fucks its effectiveness.
keep them coming guys, awesome video
Had to do the lower rad hose on my old '04 grand prix... Pretty sure they positioned the hose clamp on the water pump end in a tight spot just to 🤬with DIYers.
Of course I found out about remote hose clamp pliers shortly after the job was finished.
"Don't want to go tight as a tiger on that one do we" use a torque wrench, look up the correct torque, and/or locktite. You don't want your thermostat housing bolt working loose from vibration.
Not really nessecarry with a tourque wrench. Just tighten good.
Can summarise this with an old saying:
Act in haste, repent in leisure.
One reason I love this channel is it seems to be followed by people actually interested in cars. Haven't seen a single gross/lewd comment about Ellie. Good job comment section 👊 and great vid guys!
You're bang on about those Halfords Professional tool kits! Most crappest box design on the hinges, I've had 3 of them and the hinges always fail after the tabs on the sides snap off first!
You guys desperately need car ramps.
you lot should make a mini series - Ethan makes repairs simple
Lmao when he said we're gonna run out of bleeps on out bleep machine was the best part i laughed for like 5 minutes i love you guys you're all awesome
More innuendos than you can shake a stick at. Great video...as usual. Fan from Texas.
2:26 giggidy
I'm just wondering, is it possible for you to do a "living with a russian car in the uk" in the future?
Its kinda hard to find a russian car in the UK, I saw a Lada once on a car meet ;)
@@Donrettep yeah, that is why if they manage to find one it would be an interesting video. Kinda hard to find a lada or a moskvich in the uk tho
That’d be sick
The thing is, Lada's are extremely rare in the UK. After the fall of the iron curtain, almost all of them went back home
"Put it in H"
Great video nice to see you could fix it rather than scraping it
love you guys you're awesome
You should have Ellie on regularly, she’s really good on camera, very funny lass 😁
14:25 There is. It's called farting and it is indeed satisfying
@@Gandalf721 Exactly. Makes all the difference 😂
Love to watch these kind of contents☺
Great video guy's and good effort on the car
Ethan: (screams of disgust)
Alex: "YYYYAAAASSSSSSS!!"
4:15 true car guy attitude ethan
we love Ethan!!
you big boy fixing a car along!!!
Plus... this encorage people to fix your car by themselves and save money...
for beer!!!
I like that this shows the reality of wrenching, rather than everything always going exactly to plan.
03:34 Well what do you know... If you give Ethan a car fix to do he becomes Gunther Steiner.
An inside joke, but a damn good one!!
No ones commented in Alex's t shirt 😔 . Love the rotary shirt !
"Your engine flushes real nice" [cheeky Ethan smile] lol
3:00 how nice of Alex to explain this... a bunch of mechanics I knew didn't dispose of it properly... heck I saw a bus having coolant issues and it was being repaired on the street and all of the coolant that leaked was just left on the street, big poodles. I know a clean-up would have been costly but still.
The anti-freeze is sweet tasting so the animal doesn't know that it's actually poison. :(
Dispose your flushed coolants properly folks!
PS: the green coolant (Propylene glycol) is non toxic, just the red one (Ethylene glycol)
Wow I just finished my first time changing the thermostat in a 1.9 tdi and when I checked the phone this video shows up
Major automotive CZcams channel, struggles to change a thermostat on a Peugeot 😂
16:04, the face, the zingy electric roof noise, the _mm_ . cinematography at its finest
7:03 You could use a (swiss) pipewrench to screw it out if you have some of the bolt sticking out.
@K Man The only way that seems to work is to drill the bolt out and then tap the hole again or put in a helicoil insert if you can.
Ellie, a delightful young lady! Ethan swearypants was very funny. Jack cool as a breeze. Alex off his chomp, as usual.
Love car throttle 👍💛
Working on a car while wearing a white shirt. That’s confidence for you!
I know that feeling, working on my BMW F650, just wanted to take off the brake caliper on the front, I actually took out the screw thread which was stuck on the bolt. Had to buy a whole new caliper.
Had to replace an alternator on a 1989 Ford F-150 once. 3 bolts (I think, its been a few years) and it'd be off. Except I snapped off the longest bolt that ran through the alternator and had to take off the entire alternator/air pump mounting bracket and take an angle grinder to the alternator to remove it/the bolt. Got the job done though after 3 weeks of delay!
4:12 , hey he's turning into a real DIY er!!!
This started by looking like some awkward speed dating between Ellie and Ethan 😂😂
Ethan is married tho 😂
@@harveywhite3001 I didn't know 😂 but it quickly fades out ahaha I just thought about that right in the begging.
Nice little drive through tolworth there
My dream Episode, Ellie has returned and Ethan is out of his depth but learning! Thanks Car throttle!!!!
Big thumbs up!
"Can we fix it for less than 50?" *breaks more than they fix*
The amount of times I have looked at bits in the way, worked out if it is really useful or not, then just binned it is astounding.
But the more modern the car the more of the bits seem to be for looks rather than function.
I’m a huge fan of the 206 especially the looks and I gotta say the 206 has competition against ellie
I love my 206 cc, its a fine car.
In Poland when u CC with stock back lights is almost miracle
you know it's a good friday when the new car throttle video isn't just one giant ad
Ooooooh, Ethan felt soooo good being the one who knew something that another person didn't know! (Opening the bonnet).
I fixed my Range Rover from overheating by paying 20 quid for a new coolant cap😂
Nice. Cheaper fix than with my povety Sandero, when I had a coolant leak on a termostat housing.
I actually got money for fixing my overheating old Range Rover! I sold it to the scrapyard. kkkkkk
Could have done it cheaper - they use the same coolant caps as mk7 - onwards fiestas and basically any ford/volvo after 2009.
AlexYeets the range Rover sport sport 2008?
@@jackboss7701 oooh the older one. Well, a discovery 2 depending on trim level uses the same one and costs a tenner. The ford/volvo ones that the slightly newer rangies use are a fiver.
9:15 Is that an early 2000's Volvo V70? :O
Probably the Volvo used in their 150mph for £1000 vid.
Great video 😁
The way he struggled with the pipe then alex just pops it on 🤣
Its so cute how patient and gentle you are with your people when you try to teach them :D
Also, instead of drilling, try first to carv a bit, and just rotate it out with a flathead. I was surprised, but I managed to do it on a 60 year old engine, so.... not impossible.
13:56 hahahaha
Props to Eli and Ethan for going on with this. Also Eli had a nice fashion style and sense of humor, please bring her back and have Ethan fix more cars👻
Alex: "Imagine if we can do that as a human. Just open up your nipple and just get rid of the trapped air!"
WTF 😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:10, you can see they cut the vid😂
a peugeot TU engine overheating ... Maaan sure seems like a hEaDg4sK3t
Lol I replaced the head gasket on my 1.1 106, and the bloody new one blew again with 200 miles! The block and head were both fine too.
@@iainmacrae6982 you sure that wasnt just you doing it wrong or something? Or peugeots are shite 😂 ive had 2 207s and nope of them had a blown gasket and my last one had 200k miles on it and I done like 100k in it
for some reason, Ethan stuffing Alex' pocket is the funniest thing I've ever seen
changed the thermostat on my 206 last year, took 30 minutes including topping back up with new coolant, 1 clip, pull pipe off, undo 2 bolts, cost £8
