Another technical masterclass of DIY automotive repair that can be undertaken on one's own driveway 👍 i must confess that the wanking off of the ball joint was a master stroke Sir Tim 👌👌

Luverly commentary. Best talking hand I've seen

Grear job and showed all the bits we needed to see thanks.

Did mine on my own about a year and a half ago, struggled like hell on my back on the drive with it up on axle stands. Every bolt was solid with rust, and surprised how heavy the boxes are on these (or I am getting weaker with old age🤣), used the same make as you did, blueprint, got my kit off Amazon at the time for about £41 delivered. I too have always lined them up by eye, but due to the struggle and weight, plus I should have had it off the ground higher on the stands than I did, I made a tool using 15mm copper pipe and insulation tape to align it. Worked a treat, I could not get over how tight the driveshafts are in the box, tried bars, cold chisels with hammer, and eventually they came out. Glad I won't have to do that job again soon, different ball game if you have a ramp with it in the air etc. Mine was on the original 170mm clutch from new, but loads of trips to Devon going up the racecourse hill killed it, and it snapped in the usual places of the metal straps on the pressure plate. I found with the bigger 190mm blueprint clutch, the biting point is much lower to the ground with the cable adjusted correctly with the free play. Lots of swearing from me when I was doing mine, so perhaps you edited yours out😂😂😂😂

It was me who asked about the reverse switch. Thanks for remembering me lol. I did the job, it was a successful mission.

I'll be doing this to my wife's car in 2 weeks time. The good thing is that I have a colleague of mine who done clutch changes numerous times before. Other than that I do worry about rusted-to-death bolts...

great video excellent detail loved watching and learning thank you for sharing all your hard work

Never attempted a clutch change before 🤔 but your upolad definitely gives me hope 👀 Failing that I could have it trailered up north and pay you too do it 😂👌

Man this takes me back in time. The level of dissolving .. strewth. Worst part of working on cars like this is the fact every bolt and screw is rounded off and rusted tight.

Good job Tim nearly 3000 subscribers now

This is on my to do list in the next few months, thanks bud

Just the video I needed

Cool video showing that repairs like this can be done on stands. Just wondering how are the cheap Ebay £25 arms / wishbones doing? Going to do the clutch on the weekend but might also replace the arms if the ball joints look bad. Thanks :-)

Hi! Youve been saving me lots of cash so far showing me how to fix the bug.. thanks! now the clutch release fork (think its called, part from the cable down into the gearbox, which presses te release bearing) suddenly snapped off on my car. Would you say that it is possible to change that part just by pulling it out, or do I have to take off the gearbox like you do in the video to extract/change it? Hope you understand what i mean.

Really hoping you have some tips for me here Tim, my clutch went to the deck when I was on my way to work this morning, I have my suspicions that it’s not the clutch that’s failed but the release bearing. The clutch got done early last year about 45k miles ago, it wasn’t slipping or giving me any hassle but the clutch pedal has always been creaky and feeling like it’s under strain as im pretty sure it didn’t get done at the last clutch replacement. Have you any tips for me to go about diagnosing it before I drop the box and mess up the ball joints on my brand new arms

Another fab video sir 🎩

I like that song that you played in the intro slip the clutch by Marty Mone I love that song

Just outstanding

First 40 seconds in..... Who doesn't want a stiff knob in their hand when changing gear 🤣

Nice electric gun looks like it has plenty of power what make is it please thanks great video

hi mate, followed your steps on this along with a few other videos and managed to get the gearbox out and new clutch in, with everything put together (aside from the starter motor which is still technically only held on by one screw) i went to start the car and turn on the ignion… nothing. when i turned the key nothint happened. My apple carplay screen came on and all the lights worked but the dash screen which shows the trip comp and the fuel guage didnt turn on, then when i took the key out the engine management light stayed on (even with the car locked and the ignition off) when i thrn the key nothing happened, the fuel pumo didnt prime and the starter didnt even turn over. what could be the cause of this???? thank you!!!!

Bravo! Io ho una Aygo seconda serie, pensi sia tutto uguale? Forse lo hai detto, ma purtroppo non capisco l'inglese, come hai fatto a centrare la frizione? Ciao alla prossima!

As i can see the old clutch looks fine! Did you had problems with that disk?and how many km have done with this?

The ball joints are pressed into the wishbone on ur model, so you could have just bought a ball joint, unless some cretin welded the existing one to the wishbone when it was last replaced??

Did my aygo clutch last week also fitted the Blue print has anyone put big mileage on one yet? The owners club say fit the Blue print and you will never have another problem

Need to replace the clutch on my shittybug. Do you have a video showing where to lift using a trolley jack safely to put the axel stands under like this?

I've been a naughty boy! Couple of days ago, driving through a lane in my Peugeot 107, i pulled slightly onto the verge, to let an oncoming car get past. But as soon as i pulled back onto the road to carry on driving, the clutch felt hard to push, plus now makes a squealing sound when engaged - although still changes gear! 😩 I suspect something underneath the car got bent or damaged up on the verge? As the clutch was fine before this "incident"! Any suggestions please where / what to look for? 🙏 The thing that makes it worse is the other vehicle was a big 4x4! So really HE should have made such a manoeuvre not me! 😡

Привет, как сцепление поживает? я себе nipparts установил, теперь переживаю что оно плохое и проживет не долго

I cheated and got mine replaced by the yokel garage, when I got the car back I noticed that the wheels hadn't been off (my own zip ties still on wheel trims) - apparently you can just move the engine to one side to create a gap just wide enough to get the clutch out and a new one in. Having said that the bloody thing failed after a couple of weeks so maybe it's a shit way of doing it - if indeed it's not just a myth!

i had new clutch fitted now i have clutch judder in 1st gear

Bien hecho amigo, eh i can do a few jobs but dont think i would be able to do that !! That red cable with the perspex window/sleeve on it beside the battery, it drops down at 17.08 What is that for ?? Im restoring a 2001 merc slk and saw one of those under the battery, i ripped it out and threw it away !! Will i need it later ?? Ich habe auch deutsche nachbarn hier in spanien !

How many miles had it done before the new clutch? Mine needs doing...at 67,000 miles. Shitting myself in case it's a problem with the flywheel ££££!

Yo, mah man, really important question, do you know if its possible to remove the Citroen C1 crankshaft from just under the car?

Oh sign me up ,,, interesting to see you dont lube your shaft ,,, an oily nose is something ive never done , but i use a smidge of tungsten di sulphide grease on the shaft and splines on the primary input shaft ... but just a smidge , I know threse two schools of thought but interesting your of the other opinion.
