I'm a DIY mechanic and I love anything to do with cars. Join me as I maintain and modify my own cars and also ones from friends and family. I'll share the journey of where my automotive interests take me, weather its working away in the shed with various jobs, a street machine meet or a 4wd trip. I'll be aiming to make my videos as usable guides for many of the jobs that I doing, just to share the info. My aim is to release a new video each week on Thursdays, so consider subscribing to the channel so you don't miss any of it.
I'm a fixed plant fitter by trade (pumps, compressors, turbines, gear reduction drives etc..)and mainly worked in heavy industry and mining and I'm currently in the reliability field

Nice how-to mate. Notice youve taken the front wing off...wouldn't have minded seeing that process?
Thanks, I still have one wing I could create a guide for
Would be much appreciated as I don't remember seeing one out there
This is a great video! My car has been leaking oil pretty hard. I changed the oil filter and after that it went worse. So I’m assuming it’s coming from the oil cooler as I must have put a bit of stress on the cooler when changing my filter and really gave way. I’ll use this video to change it. Thanks heaps.
Not bad for my first attempt at a youtube video
Very useful. Thanks!
Your welcome
Thanks mate Awsome to know
No problem 👍
Bit dark mate... couldn't really see what you were up to round the back 😮 Nice to see a pretty much rust free chassis underneath...getting the crossmember bolts off would've taken me a full day 😂
Sorry about that, i do need to do some work to improve my sheds lighting.
Thats some great guitar playing there Shane. Love your taste in music.
Well I can't take any credit for the playing, but I can't argue that ive got good music taste
Thanks, this was excellent! Just about to get started on the task.
Hey no worries. Good luck with it!
Thanks man!
No problem!
Thanks for the video! The dual metal plate round filter with all the little holes in it is filled with that old crusty white powder do I need to remove it all before I refit
Doesn’t hurt to give it a wash out. When the dust migrates it’s way into the solenoid valves they can start to leak.
@Shanes_Shed it seems if you clean it out entirely then there's no way for the new 0 ring to sit around anything.. I'f u know what I mean it would just be loose
There's a filter pad between the metal plates - From memory the factory filter has a rivet holding them together. In the past I've separated the two plates and put in a new filter pad - then bolted them together with a new oring.
Mate your videos are good but please stop with the music over you explaining there's nothing wrong with the music but people concentrate better when it's just your voice thanks for sharing all the best Budo 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback
Gracias amigo
Your welcome
Cracking job and tutorial. Thanks mate 🏴
thank you for taking the time to drop a comment. Greatly appreciated
Awesome man, hopefully this will help me dismantle this car I have here out the front, cool! you've got me a bit more motivated now haha
And I'll have the front glass removal for the next vid too
Very helpful thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice concise short video. Thank you.
No point doing longer, people watching don't have the attention span for it. ( Not having a go - just purely watch time stats)
Sometimes the truth hurts 😂
that's a $250.00 job in Virginia USA
Costs more for just the new belt and tensioners here in Australia than that. And if your paying someone to do it add another $600 to the bill
My reverse lights glow when I touch my brakes in park? Anybody got ideas
Thanks for the video mate, good job. Where did you get the cube from?
Just from Repco, but you should be able to find a similar unit from practically any auto parts store
Great stuff
Thanks
What is replacing the arb or you are just keeping it stripped down ? regards from SC 👍
ARB bar has been sold. My disco is currently getting stripped for parts
Good work, they have always been quite flimsy, definitely not like the K&N Strongarm one I had years ago. You'll get good money for that though... Strange I had left audio only with this vid btw
Sold already, took a little while but the right person come along. Must have messed up the audio channels when editting - never noticed it myself
Is this the same on a GQ patrol ?
Do I have to answer that 🤔
@@Shanes_Shed haha
mine has just developed this leak on rear drivers side injector, not leaking as bad as yours but there is definite wetness there and strong smell of diesel. Unsure if I will do it or get my LR mech to do it as it goes in on monday to have the auto removed to make that shiny again.
Not really an ideal thing to have diesel leaking, especially if it happens to be above the turbo. A professional should be able to have it changed in 3 or 4 hours.
@@Shanes_Shed All sorted, took me a total of 8 hrs but that was also watching your how to again to figure out which to lay the new lines down and that dreaded coil! I also blanked the EGRs, removed EGR pipes and applied the EGR delete patch. Did not lose any clips eithger and had 4 spares for just in case. All working so far and could not see any diesel weeping. I'll monitor and fingers crossed it is good to go.
Good result then👍
@@Shanes_Shed as my old Dad used to say 'K'noath"
Does the Holden Combo have the same engine?
I believe its a different engine from what I can gather.
Thank you! Someone can make a „how to” video without 30s intro, live story „when my grandpa was takeing me fishing 15y ago in his truck…” Good job!
😆thanks for the comment, made my day
Tanks for the video haha
Oh I see what you did there🙄
Love your videos, the kia sportage ones have helped a bunch. Cheers from South Africa.
Thank you. Off all the videos, the sportage was one that I had low expectations for views. Turns out its one of my most popular videos
Thank you. This helped save me alot of money. For everyone's awareness, the mk6 fiesta actuator fits perfectly and only costs £9 off ebay.
Great tip, thanks very much!
We’ve just had this happen in our discovery 4. Noticed a whooshing sound on acceleration and lots of soot down the side of the turbo (155k miles) Garage says it’s a body off job. I’m selling to someone who has time / access to a lift or looking for a replacement engine. When my three young children are grown up, when I can pay for a cleaner to clean my house and a gardener to manage the lawn, hedges and trees, and chop wood etc, when I’ve painted and decorated the house to my wife’s satisfaction,, I may well have the time and money to play with Land Rovers again, but at the moment I just haven’t got the time, or the tools to fix, or pay my local guy to fix (his wife has several horses which I’m sure we’ve been subsidising 😂). Great cars, bloody complicated engines and body off limit the DIYer in what he can do. I reckon we’ve foregone some good family holidays forking out repairs on the Disco. Probably not a good use of money but when you’re wafting down the road you do feel like a king! Where to go from here? Suggestions welcome. Did you bother fixing yours or throw in the towel?
Attempted to fix mine body on, but rounded the bit on the easiest to access bolt so decided it wasn’t worth pursuing any further - I was planning on selling it after the fix anyway so the cost of paying someone to do a body off repair just wasn’t economical viable. I don’t have a lift and just don’t have the spare time to do it somewhere else. Awesome vehicles when they are running. I brought an older GQ patrol but considering a 150 prado as a replacement
I think we were in the exactl same space. If I had a two post lift and no children / was retired then I’d relish this kind of tinkering, but right at the moment it’s too much! Best of luck with the Toyota!
@@Himoutdoors I need a whole new shed for a hoist as the current one has no roof clearance, plus the concrete slab won’t be up for it. I suspect a Toyota won’t be a good idea for content creation🤔
@@Shanes_Shed I’m not sure what Toyota channels are about….food….cleaning products…. Certainly not about engineering 😂 best of luck mate. You’ll find something you can get your teeth into!
I’ve just looked at the bit at around minute 6:35. I have 3 rubber pipes all going to my thermostat under the radiator. 2 Heater matrix pipes from them hard pipes you mention. Then one from the EGR cooler. I also need to bypass so I’m watching your video.
It’s a real mess of coolant lines there.
nice man.. saved me some time after installing my brake light harnes. great video !!!
Glad it helped
Seen a guy selling these with 50k on them but still look good. Still worth buying?
I need to do an update on these -its well overdue. Mine would have (off the top of my head) 60,000km+ on them now. Apart from some wear on the inside edges (alignment and not a fault of the tyre) the bulk of the tread still has 8mm depth. They are lasting very well. If they still have decent tread then I'd say its worth it (providing the price is right of course)
@Shanes_Shed nice I'm gonna check them out tomorrow cuz the tread looks good in picture. Guy is asking 400 for the pair of 4 without rims though.
I've got a persistent clicking from the right rear it sounds like, I suppose I'll change out the axles see if that fixes it
Does the clicking change if you alter the air suspension ride heights?
I've converted to springs, it's a bit maddening, I can only think it's a bad bearing or cv
Ah, did the clicking start after the conversion?
I suppose it may have
Sounds like a worn CV - normally get the clicking in the front when turning as the CV's generally wear in the normal straight ahead position. When turning the CV balls are running over the wear grooves and you get the clicking. Probably your experiencing the same thing in the rear due to a slightly different ride height from the suspension change.
Do you know what the small pipe hole is for on the airbox just next to the big intake
I’m not sure what hole your talking about. Just had a look at mine and I could see anything that matched your description
Thanks mate very helpfull
No problem 👍
Thanks a mill,
Hey no worries
Hi Mate is the fuel filter the same & in same location for the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander ZJ Petrol 4Cyl 2.0L 4J11? Thanks
From what I can see the filter for the ZJ should be Z1125. It will be in the fuel tank. If you have an access cover in the floor under the rear seats then the procedure for change out should be exactly the same.
How do you know if a mechanic has put in the wrong oil in your car? Have found one was going to do this, but I had read the manual and pulled him up in time, and the other actually did then claimed it didn't matter but I know it does damage, albeit slowly. I think because I'm a female with a young voice they think I'm stupid.
Without doing a used oil sample your not really going to know what oil is in there, but that will only really give an idea of viscosity and basic additive pack. You won’t be able to tell what brand and spec it is precisely. Unless it’s been filled with modern ultra low viscosity oil like a 0w20 or lower then I wouldn’t loose any sleep over it
@@Shanes_Shed Thank you, I gather you are in Oz?
correct
So what mods have you done that are quick and awesome?
Hi how much oil did you add?
I can't remember the exact amount of the top of my head, but around 4 litres should get close
Awesome mate, should have that all done in no time, how was it to install originally? the Hilux wasn't too bad with the ironman bar, but holy shit the ARB on my HDJ100R Cruiser was such a pain, chassis needed to be cut off slightly with the grinder, glad I did it myself as I managed getting all metal filings out, 4wd shops don't normally care.
didnt seem as bad for the install, but maybe that was just because all the bolts where new? Yeah accessory fitters would just be smash it on as quickly as possible
