Hello. You mentioned that Isaac will be working by himself in the workshop. Our crew chief would never allow one person to work alone, in case of personal injury accidents.

Oh ! , your later trading as Bum Enes. Yes, All my friends do think they should increase my meds.😀

Trading as Bam Enes today Lee 😉

If I can clean all the plastic and glass of about 2 windows or a door , a day. Every day in 30 years in the window industry then it would not be a big chore to get a little warm water with a dash of washing up liquid and some jif on the tough marks and clean those grubby oil marks off that plastic. I will be having a camera fitted over the way so I can check it every day from now on.

Swapping a carb tomora.

Congrats to John for coming on and demonstrating his talents.

Happy birthday to John..

Lee, as I see it, mind you I'm not an engineer or car builder, just an old retired military electronics tech. The kit car needs to have either the engine or the diff repositioned to get everything on a dead straight line with each other. With a drive line as short as you have anything other than dead on straight will cause the same thing happening.

Cheers Lee, so you’ve managed to get John to appear after all this time?, you must have been Grinding him down!(pun intended).

Came across this as a taxi driver friends wanting cheap taxi fares, would not do it as it comes out of my pocket which they couldn't understand

I started saying no and so called FRIENDS left me like a sinking ship.

My bird bomb story : 3 days after painting my 68 Camaro I went for lunch downtown and parked between glass buildings & under power lines. 1 1/2 hours later there was NO black paint to be seen on the roof that was baking in the sunlight off the glass. I was lucky & got it washed quick enough to save the paint job. Have a great weekend Lee & I agree with the others who are enjoying Isaac on the other channel!

Have a good weekend chaps 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Penblwydd Hapus to John (Happy Birthday in Welsh) I was 71 last October. Isaac is doing you proud on the second channel. Have a great weekend with the family. Bob M. South Wales (mystery battery man 😀)

Am I alone in wondering how long that Cosworth engine was sitting on the pallet outside? t would only take seconds for it to vanish...

There's often a difference between nicely made fabricated parts, and being well engineered. One looks wonderful, the other works wonderfully. The best of both worlds is what we hope for. Good engineering means the loads that are placed on the component are understood and compensated for in the design.

Really looking forward to watching the LR V6 and John being cranky (joke) Best wishes and hope you have a great time with the kids on the beach and the sea gulls dont do any more precision booming, ps get some sun cream on.

It's hard to know who your true friends are until the friendship gets tested. Go broke, or say no to what someone wants is often a test. Your true friends will always stick with you regardless. That said though if I'm a sociopath, a narcissist and I abuse my friends, I will in fact lose real friends. We cannot expect anyone to endure our abuse.

Hi Lee, how do I get hold of you in regards to rebuilding my engine please? It’s a 2015 golf r Many thanks. Lucy

👍

I see you are big on safety footwear in your garage not.

NORTH WEST PROPSHAFTS, NOT NORTH EAST, MATE!!

A uni joint prop shaft will never be balanced if the engine isn't north south. A land rover discovery series 2 rubber joint might work.

Rubbing your hands on a " finished surface" leaves a film of grease on it, and is dangerous if any filings are on the surface. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

A place I used to work at had the carpark immediately south of the office building. Birds ( mostly seagulls ) liked to sun themselves on the roof of the office, then 'unload' themselves as they launched off into flight - right over the first couple of rows of parked cars...

Thought that having the date only in the title was click bait so watched it straight away. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hope the weekend’s a good’n.

Thanks for the video , Have a good weekend

is that a crack in the block? at 3,20 on the top right cylinder at around 1 o clock

Lee ..you look like i feel on fridays ..knackered mate 😂.. have a good weekend. 👍

Nice one John Sir, and happy birthday

Regarding bird bombs; years ago we were at a friends parents cabin at the lake. I mixed a fresh drink and walked back out on the deck. Within 1 minute a robin flew over and dropped a bomb direct in my glass. Had not had one sip from the drink yet. Poured the drink overboard and mixed another. You would think the birds are dropping smart bombs.

Happy birthday John can't wait c u at work

This is better than coronation st 😁👍.

I lost it at the complaints about the splat on the window... too funny!

With the demand on these Cosworth Engines it’s a surprise no one has taken it and started to cast more of them ?

Great job - thank you very much!🍋

i think it's the best thing i've ever seen, pls make it longer🐻

top tip .. do not do any (i.e. NEVER) work for friends and / or acquaintances

Watch the videos for engine not coffee makers

Why do your titles always suggest problems with customers, makes people warey about your company? Just sayin. I watch videos and you look proffessional.

The fact that it's a friend or not is somewhat irrelevant :-) It essentially boils down to individual integrity. You will come across a number of really exceptional people in your lifetime. Some may be friends, others simply off the street :-)

The "no friends in business" goes both ways. As a customer it's important to maintain an aloof professional relationship where you're not worried about upsetting the business owner when stating your expectations and requiring remedy if they fall short. I've encountered a few that will take it personally, one even tried to assault me for blighting their ego, but that's a 'them' problem.

Was your friend a conservative 😂

And never be fooled in to believing the manufacturers and their agents are true friends. As soon as they realise you are doing well with one of their products they will waste no time pushing it to your competitors. Keep your cards close to your chest.

All seems so complicated. I owned a 1967 Elan S3 for 18 years. It was burning oil so I took everything apart and replaced the rings. Working in a small garage with the car on ramps. I don't know how i did it, but I did. I also reshimmed the valve clearances a few times. Must have been OK as I recently checked and the car is still registered.

If you do not know how to use a machine, leave it to a skilled man. I am amazed you get any customers at all. You treat your customers with contempt.

I have a coffee machine like that, fresh beans! I had a '96 td4, it had 50k when I got it, I put another 150 on it in 20 years. The only thing that went wrong in 20 years, water pump dribble, and the bypass rubber tubes started to leak a bit, that was it. Then LR ceased to be anything at all to do with the UK. The TD5 has always been awful, short life expectancy, and a load of junk. The V6? If your making cars, and your plan .... is to put a Citroen / Peugeot engine (which have a long and unbroken record of being a complete load of junk) in a Land Rover, you should pretty much just give up making cars and go do something else. The K series engines were always rubbish as well, they are designed to dump the oil out immediately after you fill it up. It would be far cheaper to fit another proper engine.

Absolute truth Lee! I've seen it as I'm at an age where its harder to get contracts doing what I do, being a white male in South Africa, and suddenly loads old friends disappear... Then you look at things and think how many times did I have a meal by them, and how many times did they pop over and we cooked up steaks etc over the fire. Now that my fridge ain't full and other stuff is not available to give they're gone!... Glad I learned sooner than longer...re. amount of work. As a business owner you always going to be worried. You either just have enough work now but what about next month, or we too busy how we going to get it done, or we a little quiet (which chgs by the hour)!?

it is true that there is no friends in business but out side business you still have to be careful these day everybody seems to be after money and THAT is the root of all evil after 75 years on this earth these times are the worst ever trust nobody except your self , thanks for the video
