Hey Rob I watch ur videos a lot and so I'm going to ask a cheeky question. Messing around with a car burning oil. In the strip down I found cylinder 4 had oil in it, came out when I took out spark plug, it had been siting for a few days. Is it wishful thinking to think valve them seals. If I fill the cylinder with oil and leave it for 2 days and it still has oil does that say the rings are ok. I don't wanna take the head off and do a head gasket for no reason. It's a hobby so no big deal if I got the rip it apart again to do head gasket and rings. Head gasket is prefect so I don't wanna take the head off. I would offer to sell u and Rob the car but I don't think u want to drive to South west Ireland for a 1.4 16v fiat. Others reading this maybe able to help as well. Sorry for being cheeky I know u have lives to live and can't be a help channel for motoring issues.
That's a 1.5 Diesel, basically the same engine as in a Renault.
i seem to remember the early A-class had a recall for rear wishbones, they were made without a seal they needed in the back. i replaced a set when i did a weeks work experience type thing at a Merc dealer years ago. other than that i dont know much about them. i know a lot of people will disagree but i think such a huge tyre on a small car is criminal lol. the tyre profile makes me cringe, so small im not surprised they dont hold air… joking aside id put 17" on it, might have had 17s as standard. i cant remember and not bothered to google it but i will wait and see what you get
Nice Rob, I think you most definitely scored a result there mate.
Hi Rob why don't you put that green range rover in that classic car auction that Chris got his 3 wheeler from and see what happens just a bit of transport cost to get it down to the site
the car has no "front", but in comments……the most important… wheels …wow,
👍👍👍👍👌👌👌💯💯💯💯👋👋
Now then wheels look really nice on it obviously doesn't understand that people and put bigger ones on
I think that old dear must have thought!
That the Pikees have shown up to collect that smashed up car nightmare.
Well hopefully you can turn it around & earn sum paper from it .
Rob you usually do good luck 🤞 fellla.
Nice project lads will be a nice car when its done👍
What a Chav school run wagon 😂
Hi rob and Chris, good luck with the wee car, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Rob’s not happy with those wheel! 😂😂😂
Nice one lads ,this should be a two chillie re-build hopefully ,those wheels look hideous though lol
ENGINE,MOTEUR RENAULT
🤣🤣🤮🤮
Shame it's got a Renault lump in it.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Well not bad purchase with those expensive parts in A bit of love and money and you have a nice car got to be worth 5/6 k once done hopefully you paid less than 3k 🤔good luck 👍
A proper bone shaker with those oversized wheels. The ride must be absolutely horrible sitting on those 20 inch wheels.
No.
Dont bother.
Thats a parts car.
Its bent to fk.
Still a nice car and worth saving. Bonus with the parts. Hopefully the parts now needed are cheap enough due to the age. Be a great car for someone minus the the wheels that would look big on a GLC. Back to OEM wheels and it will look smart.
"very nice"
Here is a question for you — With all this water about -floods etc (during the ongoing hosepipe ban) are 'lectric cars with their batteries almost at ground level affected at all?
Nice video. Just missed Chris.
Get thoses wheels refurbished and sell it with thoses wheels
Get rid of them wheels guys. They are prone to cracking anyway. My son works for Merc and they are forever having to change them.
As someone who has changed so many alloys in my driving life (and always insured), those back wheels are perfectly legal. You can't have the TREAD visible when you look down at the top.
What makes wheels like that look even more stupid on a car like that is seeing the tiny front discs the size of 10p pieces through the spokes. Absolutely ridiculous. 👎
You and Chris @salvage rebuilds along with silverlake had a shout out from Kevtee(YouTube check him out). Salvage and scrap car hauling through Trent's
Those wheels and the fact the brake lights have been blacked-out, I'd be checking it hasn't got a dodgy remap as well 😀
You don't half chat some sh#t do ya
"RED-UH-LEE", mate
Was there ever any further videos on this car? I can’t seem to find any!?
