Hello and welcome to my channel.
These videos are just about my daily life messing around with cars.
I've always been passionate about cars, owning my 1st when i was just 14, ever since then, cars have been a big part of my life.
So..welcome along and i hope you enjoy my videos...

Hi, can you give me a guide on how to remove this thank uou
I’ll try.
First car I ever drove was a 1985 estate Sierra I think it was a 2.0 pinto she was a L back in around 2004 2005 it was the same colour as this one brings back memories 😊😊
I never saw you disconnect the battery? Is there a certain procedure to do that? Thanks
No, just disconnect battery neg lead.
@@Roverturbo thank you, great video, looking to start same job today, mini with the death rattle!
@thetrainrailboy good luck..👍
Could you not do an Egr clean or replace on this model engine...All vauxhall forums crying out for good clear video as your spot on..Proper common problem throwing P0401 Code...As mine showing...Cheers👍🏻
Thank you, I do have a video on the issue, but not a complete how too.. but I will if the opportunity comes up.
What about the dmf.?
What about it?
Does it always need to change together?
@turktrchollanda7962 no, if the flywheel is fine, it can stay. It’s supposed to be a dual mass but I’ve never found any evidence that it actually is.
A big like from Kerala India
How about immobiliser locked my friend took the battery off left it for 3 days can't start it now keeps coming up and mobilise the locked what's the best thing for it
Download forscan.
@@Roverturbo ok thank you
Skipped probably the most important step 🤯. What a waste of his own time and mine.
What’s that then? Why waste your time commenting then?
Scrap it matey....no brainer
Hi mate, got an astra J 1.6 diesel and having very similar problems… how would you differentiate whether or not the issue is due to the EGR or the boost control valve? Cheers
The codes should tell you.
@@Roverturbo perfect, so a p0299 is more likely to be the boost control valve as opposed to the EGR, right?
@mustafa196620 yes… does it ping up under constant load? Ie slip roads?
@@Roverturbo absolutely, usually comes on going up a steep hill where i’ve got to give it some…
Just scrap it. Another horrible freelander off the road 😂
why dont you start a patreon ?
Because it’s asking for money, that maybe I dont think I deserve? I have thought about a “buy me a coffee” type thing. One off “thank you maybe.
@@Roverturbo YOUR PUTTING OUT EDITING vids you desrtve it your giving people an idea on howto repair their cars you do deserve it and i am sure many will buy you a coffee etc until it kicks off more
Why do you think the bottle is split?? Pressure in the cooling system!🙄🙄
Bottle is age cracked, loads more weak points in the coolant system.
love this channel and your down to earth approach to thing s
Thank you.. I wish more people would agree with you.
@@Roverturbo just keep going your doing a great job you know more about cars than most that gives you a good heads up
the abs sensor light should go out at 10 miles an hour getting one into reverse just put it in neutral and wait a second then it will go in the wife has had one for 24 years and since she had the head gasket properly done that's head skimmed ,new 3 ply gasket along with new head bolts as they stretch and bingo you are all ready to go .do not for get those engines also went into lotuses
Full head gasket set including new head bolts cost less that £100 on flea-bay. If you can do it yourself then go for it.
I'm having exactly the same problem and I am also having a problem with constant regeneration on the DPF!! These engines are terrible in my opinion I've had nothing but problems with mine!! Euro6 engines seem to be far mare problematic than euro5
Get your dpf cleaned. Once they are blocked to a certain extent, they will never clean themselves.
Scrap it if I was you not worth doing
Freelander 1 was terrible yet freelander 2 was fantastic
Not being smart but the freelander is one of the worst cars ever made nightmare and believe me I hade one or two in the past
Hi. I ran a Freelander 1 for years. ABS light is normal, they stay on and then go off when you start driving, it is just how they are. I had 3 head gaskets in the time i owned my Freelander. It was maintained correctly and never overheated yet had the failures. If you decide to do the job then make sure the liners have not dropped and get the new design N series gasket. Have you checked for rot? The outriggers are a bad spot. Is the rear prop shaft still there? Many were removed when the viscous coupling failed making them front wheel drive only.
Ok thanks for that info.
Prop is there. No rot at all.. amazingly clean underneath…!!
@@Roverturbo That's great. If the body is solid and without rot then it may be worth a punt if you can do the head gasket yourself. There is also a modification you can do to the coolant plumbing that does away with thermal shock affecting the head when the thermostat opens. Some K series owners would drill a small hole in the stat to allow some warm water to flow through before it opens.
I'd love to see the repair videos on it but you can't throw good money after bad at it. Shame really looks quite tidy. I'd sell it spares or repair you could make a couple of hundred on it.
Scrap it.
Don't waste your time and money on it just scrap it
Selll for spares or repair someone will love it, they do have a following of sorts.
My hot take: Honestly you should scrap it for 300 or sell it to someone for parts. It has some things going for it, it isn't rusted to bits and it doesn't look terrible. It *could* be fixed by someone determined. But probably very few such people exist.
It’s actually in very good condition underneath, actually… it’s in amazing condition l….it would only need a couple drop link boots for mot.
Scrap it and buy something better with the money
Shame really coz there not too bad of a run about ! I had an 04 plate and it went less than 50k on it managed to trade it in . I think it’s probably best to send it to scarp yard heaven and get ur £50 notes
Scrap it
Is there a further video for the actual Timing Chain replacement ?
There is… it’s in the list of editing.
Can you replace the oil pump without doing all this on these engines? I've got a b16dtl that needs new oil pump
Yes, never done it tho, remove exhaust, sump, de tension spring, undo pump, and angle out. What are your symptoms?
Growing up I never ever thought anything of these cars because I didn’t think a lot of many Rovers. Now I realise what an excellent bit of kit these are. It must be worth a lot. It should be 3D scanned it’s that rare and special. Want to see more of this car!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, I have a few more rover/mg videos on my channel, with some more to come.
6r4 perhaps? 😉
Hello Sir can i have your number.
In relation to what?
I thought you said initially it had 44 miles and 58 on eco mode after a full charge , and i have learned its better to only charge upto 80% in order to get longer life out of the battery.
I’m not sure what your asking? The battery is shot, so the charge varies, due to length of charge, temperature etc. yes it’s said that 80% charge is better for lithium, but this point it’s too late for this one.
Hi Robert. Thanks for posting this. I have an Astra K with 98000 miles that occasionally flags a P0401 code. I clear the code and it stays away for some time but I will need to to something more than cleaning the MAP sensor periodically. As you have shown I too think the culprit is the EGR cooler and a good clean is probably on the horizon! Does this job require any specific tooling, is there anything to watch out for, new seals etc or any recommend removal steps? Any pointers gratefully received.
No special tools, fairly easy, just time consuming. I put mine in a tub of pure tfr for days, periodically removing flushing through and compressed air, then back in. I had a spare, so took my time.
Hi Robert. I have the 1.6 DTL. I avoided this build-up by removing the oil gases from the camshaft cover to a decanter or oil collection tank and placing a metal gasket at the EGR inlet, in which we reduce the passage of exhaust gases to a hole of only 8 mm in diameter. There is no DTC fault, the engine gains at low revs, and no part of the intake system gets dirty with oil and carbon. If we leave the system AS STANDARD, the sum of oil and carbon will sooner or later clog the EGR, the cooler, the electric air passage butterfly and the MAP sensor as we see in your video. After 9 years and 198,000 km I have hardly any dirt (from time to time) I remove and observe the turbo inlet pipe, the throttle valve inlet, and the MAP sensor and it is almost clean. It is worth it Robert. Greetings
Is this the b16dte dtl dth engine?
Hmmm interesting… as it’s blocked the egr cooler twice now. Doesn’t it cause smells under the bonnet to reroute the breather? What pipe exactly?
I have the exact same problem on my astra k , bought a 2nd hand cooler to clean then I will swap over the ends . Mines done 90k miles. I did fit a catch can a couple of years ago but took it off. I took the rocker cover to turbo rubber pipe off and rerouted it through the catch can and back to the turbo again. Its doable with alloy fittings and silicone hoses. It does trap a fair bit of water vapour and oil .
@OpelpepePower Could you please post a pic of the catch can install as I am interested thanks
holy shit.. this is the easy way? LOL. great video regardless
Great video. Very informative. Watching this helped me a lot with DIY sump removal and replacement - especially avoiding nasty surprises. Many thanks.
Very nice video, thanks! Question: do you know if this is similar to the Opel/Vauxhall Adam? We happen to have a broken aircondition evaporator 😥
I don’t sorry.
sorry i dont know..
Mr Muscle did a brilliant job on cleaning up my varibale valve turbo on my mk4 golf. Re your DPF, it may have cleaned it but, why was it not cleaning itself is the question. If it fills up again and doesn't burn off when at the set limit there's an underlying issue. What you've done is a good idea and certainly novel but you really need to follow-up with an immediate investigation of why it was full and not self regulating.
The engine had major problems when I got it and now fixed.
Interesting- a bit of thinking outside the box
If the car didn't came with alarm, can I buy the OEM module and install it, and program de ecu directly, short way.. or I need to go the long way with more parts and change the wiring and other things... Or not.. and it doesn't work at all? And where do I find the his spot to install?
They all come with alarms don’t they?
Common problem with after market clutches. Change the master cylinder with an ix35 adjustable rod and adjust the pedal
Its very foamy , accidentally you can damage turbo compressor wheel
This shouldn't be going anywhere near the turbo...! I'll do a video one day on its affects on aluminum.
No cant see it doing that, no different to the crap you buy in the auto car shop
Works great also on totally clogged inlet manifold. And turbo. Make sure to blast it our after.
GM turbo junk
Great job great video thank you
jesus F christ! i have to fix a oil leak and a/c leak and i just figured i WILL have to remove the engine! OMFG
Welcome to the modern world…!!
@@Roverturbo not in my BMW, or my mercedes. Lots of parts to remove? yes, but nothing like this! LOL
I found that I have the same gear box on my mondeo mk4 , thanks for the video. The mondeo videoes i have looked at is totally different and I might also get another oil as the one I have is spec Ford WSS-M2C924-A but maybe not if I am lucky. Thx
Not is seems , best to use jws 3309 spec for me
Hello my boyfriends it’s having clutch slip on his dq200 dsg just wondering where u are from and could u help
I could do the clutch set up. Not really interested in removing the gearbox, they are very heavy, awkward and a pain. South England.
Did you do a video on the basic settings side? Have one failing on 100 after gearbox replacement
I done it as part of another video I haven’t edited yet. There’s a web page somewhere that shows what the error codes are.
