Another cunning plan Baldrick? Turning your microphone level down so that we, your loyal viewers turn our volume up to revel in the subtle tones of your sweet voice until.......the bloody alarm goes off. Nearly shat myself which would not have been good as I was sitting on the couch wearing only my dressing gown. The 'black death' was very nearly supplemented by the brown brew. Both the Vito and myself seem to have survived the incident unscathed, this time.

Carried out this job twice now. Firstly 2007 1.4 TDCI Ford fiesta with 128000k - Injector 1 only! Chuffing away and bringing a diesel fragrance into the cabin. Black muck everywhere. I agree only replace what you need to. Watching videos like this one, gave me the confidence to do the job my self, the only tool you need in addition is a cutting tool, oh and a plastic drinking straw! Adapt the straw to fit a vacuum hose to help with cleaning the ports and holes etc. with my new found experience I then had an injector issue with a 2012 1.6tdci ford cmax with 81000k. Having no computers to fully establish which injector was really busted (no 1 as it happens ) I whipped them all out and gave to an injector specialist in yate who happens to be a customer of mine. Who provided an awesome service tested every injector and established the broken one and provided a replacement . (I even have an heads up as to which injector is likely to fell next) so replacement re seating them with new copper seals. Top tip based on my own experience get seals from the dealer ie Ford, just a better fit. Again AL I’m glad you covered this topic on the diesel engine. Interesting my car has had a replacement injector before by Ford (injector 4) originally I paid Ford to do this as part of service and warranty etc. thing is I paid for this work just for one and it was a lot of dosh. The injector test I had told me that this was a recon that Ford used?!?!?! I paid a lot of dosh for and this injector is more than likely to fell next! 🤔

Thanks Al. Your channel often makes me chuckle, but I rarely laugh out loud at anything I watch. Your reaction to setting the BL@*DY alarm off made me LOL for real. The last time that happened to me, I was working on a horrible LR Discovery that my ex gf had unwisely bought. I cut all the wires but it didn't stop. It apparently had a battery in the horn itself, so I ripped it out and dropped it in a bucket of water. It took an impressively long time to die!

At least that alarm wasn't one of those that changed tones every few seconds, those are the worst, most obnoxious pieces of aftermarket excrement anybody could have fitted to their cars, onc had one of those blaring away for HOURS outside of my workspace in the computer shop I used to work for, think the police ended up "disabling" it for disturbance of the peace...

Hi al love the videos as usual just wanted to update you on the 3.5 ton tipper situation. I’ve just purchased a iveco 3.5 ton tipper 21 plate with19k miles and after first 5 days has been brilliant so far, thanks for your advice pal! Also I have 1 other van which is ford transit connect limited 2019 (69 plate) that is just coming up to 70k miles which I plan to keep for another yr and I’m about to have it booked in at my local garage for a major service but after watching this video on the Vito I’m wandering if I should have cam belt and anything else done while it’s there. Do you recommend having the belt and water pump done at same time as a major service fella? Any advice would be much appreciated pal, would love to bring down for you guys to do but being from Maidstone in Kent little bit far haha many thanks for all your videos too mate.
