You did the right thing. Advised the customer of the leak, customer declined, so no warrenty given as eventually the leak will contaminate the new clutch and cause the same issue.

This is why (leaky gearbox) there should a central register of repair jobs that are faulty. Your client is knowingly going to stiff someone on a deal by failing to declare the gearbox and clutch are going to need repaired in the not too distant future, leaving someone out of pocket because he won't pay for a proper repair.

Just started to watch your channel. You guys are superb. So good to see mechanics with a pride in their work. Great channel. Thank you.

You are one of a rare group, a good mechanic who explains their work clearly.

He's gonna pass the problem to the next guy, like in the old days here people, used car salesman etc would put saw dust in trannys to fix slippage long enough to sell the problem to the next guy. good work as always.

Great stuff Mat and team.. Can't understand both car owners.. Beamer man needed to do both springs and Peugeot man should have done his gearbox oil seal as that would have been a cheap job seeing as it was visible .. Good work Guy's.

I would've had the gearbox seal replaced as there is no extra labour involved even if I was trading the car in. It is an absolute no-brainer. To me it is peace of mind for the next owner. I hope whoever ends up buying this car finds this video. You did right to refuse a warranty. It is not worth penny pinching with critical parts. If I was the BMW owner, I would've had both springs replaced. I had a broken front spring replaced on my Mercedes W204 and I ended up changing both sides. I had to pay my mechanic to do the actual spring change because my coil spring comperssors weren't up to the job.

love your videos mate you were right not to give warranty on that one.

Obviously , if the customer doesn't take your advice about the gearbox oil leak then you cannot guarantee there will be no further slipping of the clutch , good work chapz

You've got such a wise head on young shoulders. Keep up the good work.

i drive part time for Amazon just for a bit extra money & the agency i drive has 30 vans, only 1 of those vans is a Sprinter… we currently have 4 transits with no 2nd gear 😂 thank god i’m the only person who WILL drive the Sprinter 🤣

Great videos and my thoughts exactly when replacing coil springs...even my local garage who we have used for years only fitted 1 rear spring when it broke....🤨

You are right , both sides need new springs

Luk clutch.

Don’t take the advice, no warranty for you, totally agree with your decision.

Completely agree with the decision not to give that customer warranty - same way anyone would refuse to accept liability if a customer drives away after being told about a repair needed, then suffers a breakdown due to them not taking up the advice to carry out the repair. The Amazon jobs always look interesting, can't imagine any Amazon driver uses much mechanical sympathy when driving the vans!

Some poor mug will buy a car with a gearbox seal problem and they will not be told of the issues the car has, that IS a problem in my mind. You should not have continued with the clutch repair without replacing that seal. It would not be the first or last time that unforeseen issues are found.

Jaime own garage in MOT centre mobile mechanics are waste of time

Didn't need a new drive shaft just pack with grease new clip away you go

I like your content however, in this case I think it's bad practice. I took my car to my mechanic to have the clutch replaced. It cost me £1200 (BMW Mini) & didn't even get me 10 miles before catastrophic failure. Mechanic towed me back & told me the gear box had gone. I'd never had a problem with gearbox ever & knew it was a clutch problem as it was burning, the very same problem he'd charged me £1200 to fix! I then spoke to a mate who's an engineer & he told me schoolboy error. Whenever you remove the gearbox you need to replace the oil seals, it's common practice & should be done EVERY time you do a clutch. I demanded that mechanic fix the job I'd paid him to do, ie the clutch because under consumer law, it has to be fit for purpose & last a reasonable amount of time based on the amount spent. £1200 for a clutch to last less than 10 miles is not acceptable. I got the car back eventually with a working clutch but sadly a friendly business relationship has gone because I can't trust him any more. Replacing the oil seals should be a given & not an option, factored into the price for doing a clutch.

I don't think it's right of u guys to make fun of other languages.
