Speaker 2: once a month he joins us here at news Talk

8
00:00:29,573 --> 00:00:32,413
Speaker 2: ZB to answer your questions about vehicles.

9
00:00:32,773 --> 00:00:33,693
Speaker 3: Matt get at of you.

10
00:00:35,133 --> 00:00:36,053
Speaker 4: Good afternoon guys.

11
00:00:36,093 --> 00:00:37,693
Speaker 3: How are you very good?

12
00:00:37,853 --> 00:00:40,053
Speaker 5: Let's get him with a text message to start off. Hey,

13
00:00:40,133 --> 00:00:42,333
Speaker 5: Matt and Tyler, I have a question for your brilliant

14
00:00:42,373 --> 00:00:45,812
Speaker 5: mechanic expert. Please. I have a twenty sixteen Ford Transit

15
00:00:45,853 --> 00:00:50,693
Speaker 5: custom van turbo Diesel six SP manual and the engine

16
00:00:50,732 --> 00:00:54,413
Speaker 5: malfunction warning keeps coming on. It has had a software

17
00:00:54,533 --> 00:00:57,333
Speaker 5: upgrades and numerous resets by the Ford dealer, but no luck.

18
00:00:57,413 --> 00:01:00,373
Speaker 5: It's so irritating and I'll never know if there is

19
00:01:00,453 --> 00:01:03,373
Speaker 5: actually an engine fault. I'm at the end of the road.

20
00:01:03,413 --> 00:01:05,733
Speaker 5: Thanks Matt. Any thoughts.

21
00:01:08,453 --> 00:01:10,133
Speaker 4: To scan it and find out why that the engine

22
00:01:10,173 --> 00:01:13,173
Speaker 4: light comes on? Because one of the sensors in the

23
00:01:13,212 --> 00:01:17,333
Speaker 4: engine has detected a figure outside its parameters. Right, Normally

24
00:01:19,173 --> 00:01:22,773
Speaker 4: the sensors all have certain parameters that they lie within.

25
00:01:23,173 --> 00:01:27,252
Speaker 4: The common one isn't a oxygen sensor, you get very

26
00:01:28,613 --> 00:01:31,533
Speaker 4: it's common to have an oxygen sensor code. That may

27
00:01:31,572 --> 00:01:34,173
Speaker 4: be a faulty oxygen sensor, but it could be an

28
00:01:34,173 --> 00:01:36,613
Speaker 4: airlak or a block air filter. It's just that the

29
00:01:36,613 --> 00:01:39,333
Speaker 4: oxygen sensor has detected a reading that it doesn't like,

30
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:41,173
Speaker 4: so you need to scan it. Somebody's going to have

31
00:01:41,212 --> 00:01:44,212
Speaker 4: to scan it, find out what what code is causing

32
00:01:44,253 --> 00:01:47,292
Speaker 4: that light to come on, and start from there. If

33
00:01:47,292 --> 00:01:48,893
Speaker 4: you've been to the four dealer, may haven't been able

34
00:01:48,933 --> 00:01:51,213
Speaker 4: to do it. I'd probably recommend going what electrician?

35
00:01:51,333 --> 00:01:52,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, very interesting.

36
00:01:52,533 --> 00:01:53,853
Speaker 5: Or you could just put a piece of tape over

37
00:01:53,893 --> 00:01:55,773
Speaker 5: the area where it flashes up so you can't see it.

38
00:01:55,893 --> 00:02:00,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they can work for a little while. Mat, Yeah,

39
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:03,613
Speaker 2: not a good idea. A hundred eight hundred eighty ten

40
00:02:03,653 --> 00:02:05,213
Speaker 2: eighty is the number to coo. If you've got a

41
00:02:05,293 --> 00:02:08,613
Speaker 2: question for Matt, Now is your opportunity sun the show?

42
00:02:08,653 --> 00:02:10,893
Speaker 5: You got a question, Yeah.

43
00:02:10,893 --> 00:02:13,853
Speaker 6: Just a fairly general question. I took a diesel vehicle

44
00:02:13,973 --> 00:02:17,293
Speaker 6: to a mechanic with a fuel injection issue which they

45
00:02:17,373 --> 00:02:21,973
Speaker 6: said that fixed, and when they were testing it or

46
00:02:22,053 --> 00:02:25,093
Speaker 6: running it to make sure a bearing not developed in

47
00:02:25,133 --> 00:02:28,173
Speaker 6: the engine, which they said was unrelated to the work

48
00:02:28,213 --> 00:02:30,813
Speaker 6: that were they they have done for the thing, So

49
00:02:31,613 --> 00:02:33,933
Speaker 6: what sort of It just seems really bizarre for a

50
00:02:34,453 --> 00:02:37,573
Speaker 6: vehicle that had done just over one hundred thousand caves

51
00:02:37,972 --> 00:02:41,173
Speaker 6: to run a bearing whilst they were fixing it for

52
00:02:41,252 --> 00:02:44,133
Speaker 6: the thing. I'm just wondering if there's any any rights

53
00:02:44,173 --> 00:02:46,133
Speaker 6: you're entitled to it the Punz.

54
00:02:48,453 --> 00:02:52,813
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, it could be coincidental, but I don't like

55
00:02:52,893 --> 00:02:55,653
Speaker 4: coincidences that that is a bit weird to have that

56
00:02:55,693 --> 00:02:59,213
Speaker 4: happen while it's being serviced. Bearings generally run because they

57
00:02:59,293 --> 00:03:03,573
Speaker 4: run out of lubrication. So did they do any other work?

58
00:03:03,613 --> 00:03:05,573
Speaker 4: Did they drain the or did they change? Did they

59
00:03:05,653 --> 00:03:10,453
Speaker 4: service it? What was the reason that the injectors were done?

60
00:03:10,813 --> 00:03:13,213
Speaker 4: Was it was it low on all pressure? Maybe the

61
00:03:13,252 --> 00:03:15,333
Speaker 4: inject default was due to all pressure as well, a

62
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:18,053
Speaker 4: lot of injectors rely on engine oil pressure to operate

63
00:03:18,053 --> 00:03:21,173
Speaker 4: as well. It may have been the existing condition.

64
00:03:22,693 --> 00:03:25,213
Speaker 6: Yep, it was a crack in one of the injector

65
00:03:25,693 --> 00:03:28,893
Speaker 6: lines which they replaced and when they when the line

66
00:03:28,933 --> 00:03:31,333
Speaker 6: was cracked and let air into the system. So that's

67
00:03:31,373 --> 00:03:34,693
Speaker 6: what they were effectively remedying. So they replaced the lines

68
00:03:34,733 --> 00:03:37,573
Speaker 6: and bled it up, and they they kept they kept

69
00:03:37,573 --> 00:03:40,853
Speaker 6: the car at quite a period of time to keep

70
00:03:40,933 --> 00:03:42,773
Speaker 6: running it and bleeding it. And they said, they left

71
00:03:42,813 --> 00:03:44,573
Speaker 6: it idling for a few hours and what have you

72
00:03:44,653 --> 00:03:46,893
Speaker 6: to have it go through. And then it developed this

73
00:03:47,053 --> 00:03:49,893
Speaker 6: knock whilst it was they were doing that.

74
00:03:52,053 --> 00:03:54,853
Speaker 4: Based on that, it kind of sounds a little bit suspicious. Well,

75
00:03:54,893 --> 00:03:57,013
Speaker 4: you know, without actually seeing the vehicle, but if it's

76
00:03:57,053 --> 00:03:58,853
Speaker 4: developed a bearing knock, it's going to need to be

77
00:03:58,853 --> 00:04:01,133
Speaker 4: stripped down and have an engineer re condition to tell

78
00:04:01,133 --> 00:04:02,933
Speaker 4: you why it did it. But it does kind of

79
00:04:02,973 --> 00:04:05,893
Speaker 4: sound a bit suspicious to replace the injective pipe. Really,

80
00:04:05,893 --> 00:04:08,853
Speaker 4: it's you know, it's not it's not a day's work.

81
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:11,653
Speaker 4: That's it can be a pretty quick job to do.

82
00:04:11,773 --> 00:04:18,933
Speaker 4: So was it a franchise garage? Was the brand of

83
00:04:18,973 --> 00:04:19,413
Speaker 4: the vehicle?

84
00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:25,533
Speaker 7: Garage was at a Ford and it was with an

85
00:04:25,573 --> 00:04:33,973
Speaker 7: m A mechanic, But it wasn't a franchise garage, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.

86
00:04:33,653 --> 00:04:35,853
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, thank you call Sean.

87
00:04:36,173 --> 00:04:38,773
Speaker 2: That has helped all the best with that one text

88
00:04:38,853 --> 00:04:43,613
Speaker 2: question here, Matt, I have a Mitzbische per pergio for

89
00:04:43,893 --> 00:04:45,853
Speaker 2: and for about two days it made a violent bang

90
00:04:45,893 --> 00:04:47,853
Speaker 2: when starting it up. I was about to take it

91
00:04:47,853 --> 00:04:50,573
Speaker 2: to my mechanic and it's stopped and hasn't done it since.

92
00:04:50,653 --> 00:04:52,013
Speaker 3: Am I in the clear from Dan.

93
00:04:52,053 --> 00:04:52,813
Speaker 4: This is a classic.

94
00:04:54,213 --> 00:04:55,933
Speaker 5: You taken the mechanic and it stops happening.

95
00:04:56,773 --> 00:04:57,613
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.

96
00:04:58,413 --> 00:05:01,413
Speaker 2: Oh heck, I mean when he sees violent bang, that

97
00:05:02,173 --> 00:05:03,773
Speaker 2: edding violent in there doesn't sound good.

98
00:05:03,773 --> 00:05:05,653
Speaker 5: Well, it's a pageiro so it won't have a trunk,

99
00:05:05,693 --> 00:05:07,413
Speaker 5: so it can't be someone that's been shoved in the

100
00:05:07,413 --> 00:05:09,733
Speaker 5: trunk in a movie in Yeah.

101
00:05:11,333 --> 00:05:13,613
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, yeah you need that. Somebody needs to look

102
00:05:13,613 --> 00:05:16,613
Speaker 4: at it. But if it's not doing it, it's impossible

103
00:05:16,613 --> 00:05:18,813
Speaker 4: to find. You know, when noises happen to a customer

104
00:05:18,813 --> 00:05:21,373
Speaker 4: and then they don't happen to ask, it's really difficult

105
00:05:21,373 --> 00:05:24,013
Speaker 4: to find. If it's just when you're starting it. It

106
00:05:24,053 --> 00:05:27,253
Speaker 4: could be a front pulley, a green shaft or something

107
00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:31,333
Speaker 4: like that, but very difficult to diagnose without actually doing it.

108
00:05:31,493 --> 00:05:33,213
Speaker 4: You might just have to monitor it and see if

109
00:05:33,213 --> 00:05:34,893
Speaker 4: it keeps doing it. If it gets worse or gets

110
00:05:34,893 --> 00:05:36,573
Speaker 4: more regular than get into another garage.

111
00:05:36,653 --> 00:05:37,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, very good.

112
00:05:37,453 --> 00:05:39,453
Speaker 2: Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number

113
00:05:39,493 --> 00:05:42,733
Speaker 2: to call, and now is your opportunity to chat to Matt.

114
00:05:43,173 --> 00:05:44,493
Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got a question for Matt.

115
00:05:46,173 --> 00:05:51,213
Speaker 8: Oh, Kim here, Yeah, I haven't. Oh yeah, I have

116
00:05:51,293 --> 00:05:54,213
Speaker 8: a ninety one is in primere. It's an automatic, and

117
00:05:54,293 --> 00:05:58,293
Speaker 8: when I put it into drive, it doesn't get mobile,

118
00:05:58,453 --> 00:06:01,773
Speaker 8: you know, for about ten seconds, and then it'll go.

119
00:06:03,053 --> 00:06:04,533
Speaker 8: That's just from a cold start.

120
00:06:04,853 --> 00:06:08,653
Speaker 7: When it's and when you're dry, haven't it.

121
00:06:08,853 --> 00:06:10,573
Speaker 4: Can you feel the gears changing? Can you feel it

122
00:06:10,613 --> 00:06:11,533
Speaker 4: going through the gears?

123
00:06:12,893 --> 00:06:13,133
Speaker 3: Yeah?

124
00:06:13,293 --> 00:06:14,653
Speaker 8: Not not that smooth though.

125
00:06:14,773 --> 00:06:15,613
Speaker 9: Just a little.

126
00:06:18,893 --> 00:06:20,973
Speaker 4: You go, Mat, Yeah, it might be an auto. It

127
00:06:21,013 --> 00:06:24,733
Speaker 4: might be an automatic problem. It may also be a

128
00:06:24,773 --> 00:06:27,853
Speaker 4: command problem, maybe stuck in third years. Sometimes it might

129
00:06:27,893 --> 00:06:31,053
Speaker 4: be in limp mode. But you're really probably gonna have

130
00:06:31,093 --> 00:06:34,373
Speaker 4: to get to an auto transmission specialist.

131
00:06:35,413 --> 00:06:36,333
Speaker 3: Hopefully that helps.

132
00:06:36,373 --> 00:06:38,573
Speaker 4: Kim. There's no lights on, there's no lights on the dash.

133
00:06:38,573 --> 00:06:40,533
Speaker 4: It's probably not an engine problem. It might be an

134
00:06:40,573 --> 00:06:41,773
Speaker 4: automatic transmission problem.

135
00:06:41,813 --> 00:06:43,053
Speaker 5: Yeh yeah, good luck with that, Kim.

136
00:06:44,013 --> 00:06:45,653
Speaker 3: Connie, how are you you're on with me?

137
00:06:46,813 --> 00:06:47,013
Speaker 9: Yeah?

138
00:06:47,093 --> 00:06:51,493
Speaker 4: Hello, Matt, My daughter has had a had a tea.

139
00:06:51,573 --> 00:06:57,573
Speaker 4: There can keep squeaking every time you start. That's the

140
00:06:57,693 --> 00:06:58,573
Speaker 4: noos and tita is it?

141
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:00,853
Speaker 6: Yeah?

142
00:07:00,973 --> 00:07:03,693
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it just squeaks when she starts it.

143
00:07:03,893 --> 00:07:05,293
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's squeaking noise.

144
00:07:05,333 --> 00:07:14,013
Speaker 4: So she doesn't replaced recently the belts replaced. Yeah, yeah, okay,

145
00:07:14,013 --> 00:07:17,773
Speaker 4: it does sound like a belt noise. You could try

146
00:07:17,853 --> 00:07:19,653
Speaker 4: when she starts it, if it's squeaking, turn the air

147
00:07:19,693 --> 00:07:21,773
Speaker 4: conditioning on and off and see if that makes a difference.

148
00:07:22,053 --> 00:07:24,613
Speaker 4: That will load up one of the belts. But if

149
00:07:24,653 --> 00:07:27,053
Speaker 4: it just squeaks when it starts, it does sound like

150
00:07:27,773 --> 00:07:30,293
Speaker 4: if it's worse when it's wet or is it? Does

151
00:07:30,333 --> 00:07:34,373
Speaker 4: it do it all the time or just when it's cold?

152
00:07:33,373 --> 00:07:34,533
Speaker 6: Stick?

153
00:07:35,893 --> 00:07:38,573
Speaker 4: Yeah. Sometimes when you get your belts replaced, sometimes they

154
00:07:38,613 --> 00:07:39,893
Speaker 4: stretch a little bit and you might need to go

155
00:07:39,933 --> 00:07:41,053
Speaker 4: back and have them readjusted.

156
00:07:42,413 --> 00:07:45,813
Speaker 5: A Yeah, it could be a rodent sleeping in there

157
00:07:45,813 --> 00:07:46,173
Speaker 5: as well.

158
00:07:46,253 --> 00:07:51,453
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it could be a little little mice. Yeah. Yeah,

159
00:07:51,933 --> 00:07:53,693
Speaker 3: you know, mate, you're on with Matt. What's your question?

160
00:07:53,853 --> 00:07:56,573
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, mate, Yeah, Hey, I've got to twenty

161
00:07:56,773 --> 00:08:02,373
Speaker 9: seventeen holding Colorado. It'll turn over. But what fire? I

162
00:08:02,493 --> 00:08:05,573
Speaker 9: just wondered if you got the idea, just won't it'll turn,

163
00:08:05,773 --> 00:08:10,293
Speaker 9: you know, crank, crank, but it won't fire diesel diesel.

164
00:08:10,373 --> 00:08:15,173
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeas.

165
00:08:16,213 --> 00:08:18,733
Speaker 4: How long since it's been serviced, has head has had

166
00:08:18,733 --> 00:08:19,333
Speaker 4: a fuel filter?

167
00:08:21,213 --> 00:08:23,613
Speaker 9: Yeah you have changed, You've changed all the filters.

168
00:08:24,493 --> 00:08:26,253
Speaker 4: Okay, you've done that, You've done it yourself.

169
00:08:26,973 --> 00:08:32,372
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, I'll bleed and I'll bleed the problem started. Yeah, No,

170
00:08:32,533 --> 00:08:36,333
Speaker 9: it's actually sort of ah well yeah, it's just sort

171
00:08:36,333 --> 00:08:38,173
Speaker 9: of come on, I just wonder deliver it was a

172
00:08:38,693 --> 00:08:42,372
Speaker 9: you know, the electronic or the fuel pumping the tank

173
00:08:42,533 --> 00:08:45,813
Speaker 9: or whatever. But but yeah, it's a bit.

174
00:08:45,693 --> 00:08:48,732
Speaker 4: Of a just trying to what a Colorado system looks like.

175
00:08:48,773 --> 00:08:50,613
Speaker 4: But you're probably going to have to prime the fuel.

176
00:08:51,372 --> 00:08:53,093
Speaker 4: If it's gone electric pump, you can do it by

177
00:08:53,132 --> 00:08:54,732
Speaker 4: cycling the key, turn the key on and off a

178
00:08:54,773 --> 00:08:56,852
Speaker 4: few times.

179
00:08:55,492 --> 00:09:01,053
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it hasn't.

180
00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:03,773
Speaker 4: It hasn't got a mechanical lift pump that you can

181
00:09:03,813 --> 00:09:04,453
Speaker 4: pump by hand.

182
00:09:05,413 --> 00:09:07,852
Speaker 9: No, no, no it's not. It's not not my older

183
00:09:07,892 --> 00:09:10,293
Speaker 9: one's got but this one, the new one that has

184
00:09:10,372 --> 00:09:11,732
Speaker 9: not got to sort.

185
00:09:11,573 --> 00:09:20,412
Speaker 4: Of yeah, yeah, sounds like a fuel issue. But you're

186
00:09:20,453 --> 00:09:22,973
Speaker 4: gonna have to get somebody You're gonna have to get

187
00:09:22,973 --> 00:09:25,573
Speaker 4: somebody to have a look at that one. Probably Diesel

188
00:09:25,612 --> 00:09:27,612
Speaker 4: specialis store holding specially.

189
00:09:28,573 --> 00:09:31,053
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I thought i'd just see

190
00:09:31,053 --> 00:09:31,933
Speaker 9: if you if you knew.

191
00:09:34,453 --> 00:09:37,373
Speaker 4: Well that it's very common to have them trap here

192
00:09:37,533 --> 00:09:39,893
Speaker 4: and sometimes they can be hard to start. Rangers can

193
00:09:39,933 --> 00:09:42,333
Speaker 4: be really hard to start after you've changed the fuel folter.

194
00:09:42,492 --> 00:09:45,173
Speaker 4: So yeah, I try cycling it a few times and

195
00:09:45,173 --> 00:09:47,773
Speaker 4: get that fuel pumped up. But yeah, you might have

196
00:09:47,813 --> 00:09:48,973
Speaker 4: to get somebody to have a look at that one.

197
00:09:49,093 --> 00:09:51,612
Speaker 3: Good luck, Kevin Nick.

198
00:09:51,933 --> 00:09:54,492
Speaker 2: You're on with with Matt now and you've got a

199
00:09:54,573 --> 00:09:55,532
Speaker 2: question tobut your subari.

200
00:09:56,773 --> 00:10:00,573
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've got a two thousand and five outback and

201
00:10:00,732 --> 00:10:04,973
Speaker 10: the driver's door and the passenger jaw on the driver's side.

202
00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:08,293
Speaker 10: We use a key for lock and unlock that clicks,

203
00:10:09,132 --> 00:10:11,852
Speaker 10: but it doesn't lock it unlocked. The other two doors do.

204
00:10:12,132 --> 00:10:15,052
Speaker 10: They're fine, and I've tried to turn the child lock

205
00:10:15,132 --> 00:10:17,813
Speaker 10: on off, but they make the noise. They just don't

206
00:10:17,852 --> 00:10:19,453
Speaker 10: lock or unlock them meanly.

207
00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:21,892
Speaker 4: So the driver's door doesn't unlock.

208
00:10:22,053 --> 00:10:24,093
Speaker 10: In the back door, yeah, the driver's door and the

209
00:10:24,132 --> 00:10:26,612
Speaker 10: back door on the driver's side, but they have a

210
00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:27,173
Speaker 10: two one.

211
00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:31,973
Speaker 4: But the other side. Yeah, probably a weak actuator in

212
00:10:32,053 --> 00:10:32,453
Speaker 4: the door.

213
00:10:33,173 --> 00:10:37,533
Speaker 10: Do I protect the doors to bit sweat your water?

214
00:10:37,653 --> 00:10:41,413
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's probably a weak actor. They I mean

215
00:10:41,413 --> 00:10:43,612
Speaker 4: they can't get dirty and just sticky and just really

216
00:10:43,653 --> 00:10:46,053
Speaker 4: hard to move. And they're not they're not just not

217
00:10:46,093 --> 00:10:47,973
Speaker 4: powerful enough to move them if they're too dirty. But

218
00:10:48,533 --> 00:10:50,292
Speaker 4: probably a weak actuator. It's a bit odd that it's

219
00:10:50,293 --> 00:10:51,093
Speaker 4: both doors.

220
00:10:50,813 --> 00:10:54,013
Speaker 10: Though, Yes, weird that came ba at the same time.

221
00:10:55,093 --> 00:10:55,893
Speaker 11: Who is that.

222
00:10:58,813 --> 00:11:01,493
Speaker 4: Unless you're confidence pulling the pulling the door panels off,

223
00:11:01,852 --> 00:11:03,613
Speaker 4: you could try pulling the panels off and trying it

224
00:11:03,612 --> 00:11:05,853
Speaker 4: and see if it works with the door panels off.

225
00:11:06,252 --> 00:11:08,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that that feels like a pretty big

226
00:11:08,413 --> 00:11:09,173
Speaker 3: job for a layman.

227
00:11:09,372 --> 00:11:09,573
Speaker 4: Mat.

228
00:11:09,852 --> 00:11:11,652
Speaker 2: I mean, would you if you don't know what you're doing,

229
00:11:11,653 --> 00:11:13,053
Speaker 2: it's probably not the one to give a crack.

230
00:11:13,892 --> 00:11:16,093
Speaker 4: Possibly something. I'll go to Anuto electrician four as well.

231
00:11:16,173 --> 00:11:17,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, very good.

232
00:11:17,252 --> 00:11:19,333
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty eighty is the number to call

233
00:11:19,333 --> 00:11:20,333
Speaker 2: if you've got a question for Matt.

234
00:11:20,333 --> 00:11:21,453
Speaker 3: Now is your chance?

235
00:11:21,773 --> 00:11:24,253
Speaker 5: This person says they've got a toyet of wits that

236
00:11:24,413 --> 00:11:26,373
Speaker 5: has a pair of testicles hanging off the toe bar.

237
00:11:27,293 --> 00:11:29,852
Speaker 5: They are now getting a bit of gravel rash. What

238
00:11:29,852 --> 00:11:30,733
Speaker 5: can I do about that?

239
00:11:32,093 --> 00:11:33,492
Speaker 4: Perhaps give them a saucer of milk?

240
00:11:33,732 --> 00:11:40,372
Speaker 3: Yeah, exact, Yeah, very good, good answer. That's that, Kevin.

241
00:11:41,213 --> 00:11:43,293
Speaker 3: You've got an issue with your clutch.

242
00:11:44,732 --> 00:11:49,653
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's two thousand and seven ra Yeah, HS three.

243
00:11:50,612 --> 00:11:54,933
Speaker 11: It's a six leader six speed manual. When you drive

244
00:11:54,973 --> 00:12:00,053
Speaker 11: it real hard, the clutch can drop straight to the

245
00:12:00,093 --> 00:12:03,053
Speaker 11: floor and that won't lift back up. Yes, to lift

246
00:12:03,053 --> 00:12:06,852
Speaker 11: it up would yeah, not all the time, but sometimes

247
00:12:08,333 --> 00:12:09,612
Speaker 11: when you're driving at half.

248
00:12:11,132 --> 00:12:13,773
Speaker 4: Yep. The last one I saw doing that, The last

249
00:12:13,773 --> 00:12:16,132
Speaker 4: one I saw doing that, and it wasn't an HSV. Well,

250
00:12:16,132 --> 00:12:18,933
Speaker 4: I can't remember what vehicle was, but the the firewall

251
00:12:18,973 --> 00:12:22,813
Speaker 4: had cracked and the whole assembly, the mount point for

252
00:12:22,813 --> 00:12:28,132
Speaker 4: the clutch pedal was loose. But it also could more

253
00:12:28,293 --> 00:12:30,293
Speaker 4: likely probably just the hydraulic problem. It could be a

254
00:12:30,293 --> 00:12:31,733
Speaker 4: master cylinder or a slave cylinder.

255
00:12:32,693 --> 00:12:34,532
Speaker 11: I've replaced both of them.

256
00:12:35,173 --> 00:12:38,253
Speaker 4: Okay, does and the clutch doesn't slip when you're driving

257
00:12:38,252 --> 00:12:43,053
Speaker 4: it normally pull the carpets, pull the carpets back, get

258
00:12:43,053 --> 00:12:44,573
Speaker 4: in there with a torch and just make sure there's

259
00:12:44,573 --> 00:12:48,213
Speaker 4: no cracks around. Whether whether clutch assembly has bolted to

260
00:12:48,252 --> 00:12:52,733
Speaker 4: the mask to the firewall. Make sure the whole thing's not.

261
00:12:52,852 --> 00:12:56,333
Speaker 2: Moving all the best with that, Kevin, That sounds like

262
00:12:56,333 --> 00:13:00,133
Speaker 2: it potentially could be serious. Text question Yeah, text questionnaire

263
00:13:00,173 --> 00:13:02,853
Speaker 2: for your map and this stixes. It's a tough one

264
00:13:02,933 --> 00:13:05,613
Speaker 2: for you, holding VT. You get a lot of holding

265
00:13:05,732 --> 00:13:10,213
Speaker 2: questions today with a random misfire has good compression, new plugs, leads,

266
00:13:10,213 --> 00:13:11,893
Speaker 2: coil pack sensors.

267
00:13:11,453 --> 00:13:13,213
Speaker 3: Et cetera, et cetera. What am I missing?

268
00:13:16,492 --> 00:13:24,172
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, if it's common common plugs and leads on those, Yeah,

269
00:13:24,173 --> 00:13:25,813
Speaker 4: you need to I need to drive it. Well, somebody

270
00:13:25,852 --> 00:13:27,772
Speaker 4: needs to drive it. You can tell a plug miss

271
00:13:27,813 --> 00:13:32,492
Speaker 4: from a surge or maybe clean the throttle body. But yeah,

272
00:13:32,533 --> 00:13:35,453
Speaker 4: it's yeah, I'd need to drive somebody would need to

273
00:13:35,492 --> 00:13:35,813
Speaker 4: drive that.

274
00:13:36,093 --> 00:13:40,413
Speaker 3: Yep, very good, Rich, it's you got some problems with

275
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:42,093
Speaker 3: you in this in Yeah.

276
00:13:42,213 --> 00:13:44,813
Speaker 12: I bought a Bran new in this in extrail DPO

277
00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:49,132
Speaker 12: one in July twenty three from after driving it for

278
00:13:49,213 --> 00:13:51,813
Speaker 12: ten minutes to get home, there was black smoke pouring

279
00:13:51,813 --> 00:13:54,653
Speaker 12: out from under the dish. Ever since then, as I've

280
00:13:54,653 --> 00:14:00,532
Speaker 12: had mirrors, windscreen, wipers, breaks, jamming on, so many things

281
00:14:00,612 --> 00:14:03,252
Speaker 12: go wrong with it. And had it for four months,

282
00:14:03,453 --> 00:14:04,013
Speaker 12: said it's.

283
00:14:03,892 --> 00:14:06,252
Speaker 4: All because it was very new and twenty three. It's

284
00:14:06,252 --> 00:14:07,852
Speaker 4: all under warrant. You can take it back to the scene.

285
00:14:08,533 --> 00:14:10,973
Speaker 12: Yeah, well they're doing it under warranty, but it keeps

286
00:14:11,012 --> 00:14:12,973
Speaker 12: coming back. Say there's nothing wrong with it, and I'm

287
00:14:12,973 --> 00:14:14,372
Speaker 12: sure having breaks gemming on.

288
00:14:15,492 --> 00:14:15,693
Speaker 4: Yeah.

289
00:14:15,773 --> 00:14:19,853
Speaker 12: The latest one is the three three folks came up

290
00:14:19,893 --> 00:14:22,213
Speaker 12: on the screen, took photos of them and the car

291
00:14:22,293 --> 00:14:25,333
Speaker 12: stopped in the middle of the road and said, do

292
00:14:25,453 --> 00:14:27,853
Speaker 12: not get back into the car. They out of the

293
00:14:27,893 --> 00:14:30,373
Speaker 12: car and they're replacing the ulph nator on it, but

294
00:14:30,693 --> 00:14:33,173
Speaker 12: the brakes are still jamming on and this they're out

295
00:14:33,173 --> 00:14:35,053
Speaker 12: of the two not quite two years I've had. It's

296
00:14:35,013 --> 00:14:39,493
Speaker 12: spent five months the workshop, but they're refusing to really

297
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:42,733
Speaker 12: do much about it, supposedly changing.

298
00:14:43,933 --> 00:14:46,493
Speaker 4: Yep. I'd be going back to the sales department telling

299
00:14:46,533 --> 00:14:47,933
Speaker 4: them that you are not heavy with it, and then

300
00:14:48,133 --> 00:14:51,293
Speaker 4: you either want a refund or another car. Now I

301
00:14:51,333 --> 00:14:53,213
Speaker 4: can't give you legal advice, but that's where i'd be going.

302
00:14:53,813 --> 00:14:56,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, very good to your old car.

303
00:14:56,173 --> 00:15:00,413
Speaker 4: Should not be doing that. Yes, a misachief I dealer

304
00:15:00,453 --> 00:15:02,053
Speaker 4: principal or the sales department.

305
00:15:02,373 --> 00:15:05,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone phoned in apparently met and they said the

306
00:15:05,253 --> 00:15:07,813
Speaker 2: consumer guarantees that not that for purpose. Get a lawyer

307
00:15:07,933 --> 00:15:11,133
Speaker 2: about he's so, yeah, yep, potential there.

308
00:15:11,133 --> 00:15:13,413
Speaker 4: Go back to the dealer principle, and so this car

309
00:15:13,533 --> 00:15:15,373
Speaker 4: needs to come back on another one or all my

310
00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:15,813
Speaker 4: money back.

311
00:15:16,133 --> 00:15:18,933
Speaker 5: Hey this six, and met says looking up Gavin Dater's

312
00:15:18,973 --> 00:15:23,213
Speaker 5: car from a two thousand and seven Mesda. Alex Alexa,
