A Scotty kilmer money pit on wheels !😃

Love your videos. Love your look on life 👍

Subscribing ! This dude is genuine next door neighbor

Three wheels on my wagon but I'm still rolling along, those road side checks are after me but I'm singing a happy song.

Thanks Alan for the video. This job is easier thanks to you

I see. It looks like I'm not the only one who has occasionally tendency to to leave the simplest stuff to last possible moments :)

Ahh, welcome Back Alan :)

thanks Alan

Nice to see you spring in to action the MOT has that effect on us all .P.S. we need eye candy 👀👍👌👏

Great fix

Brilliant chat at the end ;]

Time to get shot of the rusty vito and get a Mondeo

All done without a video call on your phone from Monika while you were in the middle of it lol They say that the worst car in the garage belongs to the mechanic, as after fixing others cars all day he cannot be arsed to fix his own ! I would have put some grease between the bump stops and the chassis, my tame mechanic swears by oil spraying springs with old engine oil, he has not had one break that has been sprayed. His theory is that the oil penetrates defects and stops rust working into them so causing it to grow and break.

and here's me thinking you only fix fords ! ps i can't get over how clean your workshop is .

As a fellow Australian we shouldn't forget the injustice that is being done to Julian Assange. And l want a vito and love your videos.

Hi alan, one question , On autodoc they sells coil springs for the w639 vito mixto with different lengths (For example kyb were 325mm and sachs were 370mm). What it should be the correct length?

Alan easy job for you ;-) after she back from holiday, more video please ;-)))

👍 try M class rears recently had to do ML320 my back side was twitching doing them without proper Mercedes tool Anyway like your style mate keep up the good work

Do you think the vito is a great van overall? Reliable or not? I see a lot of them driving around here in denmark with some rust on them, but overall they must be great vans .

Ciao Alan....👍

Thank you!

Quick question ~ is there a particular direction the springs must be installed? ~ ie ~ top/ bottom?

Good job your van isn't an 08 plate....else it would say KN08 :-) Ok Alan...penny dropped... while the cats away...the mice do home jobs on the works ramps...like we all do !!!!

Alan you forgot to sling em in the bin.

Funny as usual Alan 👍🏻

Cheers buddy

The council sent me six photos of a dangerous bush in my back yard overhanding the footpath over the garden wall below a height of 2.5 metres ! Because of the state of the roads everybody's driving around with dangerous bushes ! 😈

Would have thought there will be a something securing those springs in like a fastener.

Take it easy Alan yer good bloke good blokes fix things and thats good by me see yer

Those springs look like they were designed to break! If they were wider at the top/bottom they would support better and less likely break.

Hi Alan, have you ever had experience with the 1.6 psa mounted on focus mk3 year 2012 defective injectors ?? a greeting from Roby 👋

Before I would install the new springs, first I would do something against the rust.

Same here with my car I take in in to Bmw can’t be ass doing it my self after working on vehicles all day

Alan why is it modern springs break so often...I've seen it on most makes...Audi, Ford, Citreon, Merc. Never used to happen in days gone by !.

The bolt on the shock only felt tight it was no in right BTW

I had to repair a spring coil on my stepdads 2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8 cdti

Those weren't broken they were just lowering springs 😂.

Like most mechanics vehicles we either never have time to fix our own , or we know it's not that bad and it will only take an hour to sort it , 2 years later , had bits on the side for the job then can't find them or used on another job lol

great video as always,but absolutely gutted no Miss M

Hi Mr machnic please can you tell me why mercedes Vito van is wearing new tryes off they only been on a couple of months I only do short journeys they wearing on inner

👍

This is exactly the reason why you don't buy a car from a Mechanic. People don't release that the last thing a Mechanic wants to do is work on their vehicle.

So I suppose you could have renamed this title " the 1st day of spring " 😂😂😂😂😂

I’ll copper grease that bolt for future lol

Can you do your MOT on your own vehicle?

Christ,what are those floor tiles made of!!!

watching your video's to get over the monotony that is covid (ie the great reset)

hope vosa dont see this vid Alan lol

its in better nick than mine

Looks like Ford have done the mid life facelift on the Mondeo and messed it up :(

You don't need to remove the wheels 🤔

What about the trash can 🗑?

My transit had two broken leaf springs when I ripped them out for mot test Only noticed as the van was starting to lean over more than normal And one had gone flat, couldn't believe my eyes when I had both springs broken in three places Been broken quite a while but all hidden in the hangers or behind u bolts I been towing stuff for miles till they came Uprated to twin leaf so well jacked up now Our Vito is parked up in compound due to injector seals leaking and its stinks of fumes Tryed to farm it out as its a pig of a job but no one's interested Its had a lot of money chucked at it Still a rust bucket with a faulty ecu and faults

"There'll be no whitewash at the Whitehouse !" 😃😂😄😂😃😂

I like the van but it's more rusted than my old ass '86 Peugeot

Life imprisonment for that fault, but you could fail to stop ram police cars and just get a slap on the wrist instead. Shows your a real mechanic when your vehicle is a wreck. Just wait until the day you need to take your vehicle to a garage and pay to have them fix it.. That hurts.

Free Julian Assange !

Never buy a mechanics car!! My berlingo needs a spring too!😂🤣🤣

What no you know where these are going where the belong in the bloody bin

Swap for Tony Blair

xd

I just buy new vehicle every 3 years. 47 years in motortrade and never worked in a decent workshop either

You aren't not a friend of Macron :)

Typical mechanics car or van, if you don't get paid for doing a job leave it till later.

I know it looks amusing but really it was bloody stupid and endangering other people driving a van on the road with an item that keeps the tyre securely to a road surface....not impressed at all
