Rusty Fuel Tank Replacement - Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD WK WH 2005

Driving in the New Forest requires great care as there are animals roaming freely - horses, ponies, cows and pigs. There a lot of cattle grids!
The glamping pod was very well appointed and cosy. Facilities there were excellent with very clean shower blocks, lavatories and dish washing facilities. There is also a pub on site that serves food.
I was there out of season so the site was very quiet. It is usually full of tents, caravans and camper vans.
A very friendly and well run camp site - link to website below:

I talk about engine cooling, coolant reservoir / expansion tank and radiator which is currently causing a coolant smell. I cover other items such as bodywork - sill corrosion, alloy wheels - flaking paint and potential for refurbishment, interior - original and genuine gear knob required and 'roadster' sill kick plates which I am looking to replace. I mention the front to rear brake pipes which have some rust, which I'm looking to replace and also the battery securing bolt which has sheared off in the floor, requiring removal.

The headlights on this car had UV / sun damage which had damaged the surface of the lamp, giving an opaque yellowed look with raised residue.
I use a rechargeable powertool, a Draper polisher/mop, with Farecla G3 Pro F 38.2 cutting compound, followed by a Turtle Wax product to seal and protect. This is a messy job and it is important to prevent splashing from this process that can be hard to remove from plastic trim - as such, any vulnerable areas were covered and protected with a large sheet.
The results were excellent with the the headlamps now clear and bright.

It is amazing what a difference some painting and decorating can do to improve an environment. The white is more reflective.
Product used: Sandtex Microseal smooth masonry paint in pure brilliant white. Purchased from The Range, the instructions state that there is no need to seal the surface before using this product.
In an upcoming video I will be using floor paint on the concrete floor surface.

The sound from the speakers on this car was distorted and the cones were flapping and popping with really poor sound quality / distortion. To improve the ICE (in Car Entertainment) / stereo / radio / audio system, I fit replacement 'surface mount' speakers in the doors of the vehicle.
I fit Pioneer TS-G1720F 17cm 2-way speakers, purchased from Amazon. This model is a replacement for the earlier TS-G1710F and has a wider frequency range than its predecessor.
I give before and after examples of the sound emitted.

In a previous YouTube video, during handbrake cable replacement I found the o/s/r (right rear) cable to be seized in the hub carrier. I also found seriously overheated brake pads from a seized brake caliper.
I freed up and removed the seized cable, fitted a new Pagid caliper, new brake pads, a wear sensor and a spring/pin fitting kit for the handbrake shoes. The handbrake was correctly adjusted both at the shoes / wheels and at the lever.

As these vehicles get older and cover more mileage, the handbrake can sometimes creak, groan and no longer hold the vehicle - it may need many clicks at the lever to be effective. I place the handbrake lever into service / adjustment mode and then adjust the handbrake /parking brake shoes at the adjuster wheel each side. This applies to E90 E91 E92 and E93 3-series BMW cars / vehicles and can done as DIY by anyone with suitable skills and knowledge.

This car has not been started for a while and the battery was dead / in a discharged state. I previously removed the battery to charge it and in this video I refit it, then perform a cold start on an engine that has not been run for several weeks.
The tyre pressures were checked and I will now put the vehicle into use for a few days. This Pure model does not have air conditioning so the usage of this car will be limited by upcoming hot weather that is forecast.

The air conditioning system was inoperative on this car and the R134A refrigerant had been lost. A garage had made an attempt to recharge the system however it was unable to hold a vacuum due to a leak.
This video also includes the removal of the radiator and cooling fan. The cooling system is replenished with genuine BMW antifreeze and de-ionised / distilled water and the bleeding process is initiated for the electric coolant pump.

The wires inside the conduit that form the loom to doors, tailgates and boot lids on various cars are prone to breakage / fracture, due to the constant movement and flexing. This can cause faults such as failure of electric windows, central locking, lighting and various other consumers contained within the affected body panel.
I repair the loom by soldering in new wires, ensuring the joints are within the body or panel of the car and not in the flexible section. Soldered joints do not bend and should never be in the flexible conduit. The use of crimp type connectors is not a method I would use. All soldered joints were protected with heat shrink and the loom bound with fabric tape.

Following the correct bleeding process purges the fuel system of air. Failure to do this could lead to 'long cranking' and damage to the delicate fuel system including the high pressure pump, which would effectively be running dry and without lubrication.
I fit a Mann fuel filter from Autodoc, a replacement crimp style fuel hose clip and use the Foxwell diagnostic equipment (link below).

Using my new diagnostic equipment / scanner, the Foxwell NT530 Plus, I will bleed the fuel system and prime the fuel pump in order too fill the filter with diesel to prevent long cranking which could damage the high pressure fuel pump or injectors. This is the manufacturer's approved process following fuel filter replacement.

The cooling fans on these cars can become hardened and brittle with age resulting in sudden failure / disintegration which is often called ‘grenading’. Fan blades can detach sending the resultant shrapnel into the radiator, bonnet, or other components, causing damage. Replacing this fan is preventative maintenance.

The Alstom train was immaculately clean and the service was incredibly punctual. On our return journey there was a station block upon arrival into Blankenberge with multiple police, railway staff and an Alsatian / German Shepherd dog. All passengers were instructed to form a line and no person could leave until the dog had sniffed etched person and deemed them clean. As a law abiding citizen it was very satisfying to see such an operation.

In this YouTube video from Auto Knight, I take a ride between Hillsdale and San Francisco and demonstrate the ticket buying process from a machine, boarding, interior, seating, the upper & lower deck and the one lavatory / restroom for the entire train, which happened to be out of service for this railway journey. The rail track and journey was impressively smooth, seating comfortable, air conditioning excellent and with a very modern, efficient and clean feel to the service. These units represent in a leap in sustainability and are far more environmentally friendly than their noisy, air polluting predecessors. I observed very positive interactions between staff and passengers, along with a robust approach to fare evasion.

Whilst technically not a barn find, this motorcycle had been dry-stored for several years and was not roadworthy. The Elyseo is quite a large scooter for its capacity and shares many technical components with the more sporty Speedfight and Speedfight 2 models.
I replaced components including: CVT Continuously variable transmission belt, toothed pulley and rollers, kickstarter components, starter motor bendix, front brake caliper piston and seal kit, due to caliper seized. Brake pads, fuel and oil hose, fuel and oil filter, air filter foam element, spark plug, carburettor gasket set due to sediment in float bowl blocking jets, fully synthetic two-stroke oil, instrument illumination / warning bulb, can of spray paint, final drive gear oil, wheel trim / cap.

This vehicle was presented to me with a slow speed directional shudder / judder which was felt through the transmission, steering and body of the car. The vehicle would display this fault primarily when turning left or right at slow speeds either when slowing down to turn, or when accelerating and turning in either direction when pulling away. It could easily have been mistaken for a failing CV joint.
The transfer box is located above a plastic undertray which must first be removed to gain access. I drain out the old fluid, then using a transfer pump from Amazon, I refill with the genuine DTF 1 fluid, purchased from a BMW dealership. The fluid was priced at just under £40 for the litre and the capacity was estimated at 700ml. The vehicle was comprehensively road tested and the fault eradicated.

I replaced the starter motor around a month ago with a Bosch exchange unit, which was remanufactured in Ukraine, due to a total failure of the original starter. Having scanned the vehicle with diagnostic equipment, the following fault code was present:
A0B4 - CAS: engine start, starter operation.
Some time after, the replacement starter motor had become intermittent, with the solenoid simply clicking when the vehicle is hot, creating a non-start / breakdown situation. The same fault code returned. I replaced the component under parts warranty however it is disappointing that Euro Car Parts (ECP) would not pay any labour, so this second installation has been done at my expense in terms of time.
This job is done from above and requires removal of the intake manifold, plenum chamber assembly including cabin pollen filter assembly, air filter box and air intake hoses / ducts.
For safety reasons the battery must be disconnected before carrying out this work.

I remove the oil filler / level plug and check the level of the fluid. Had this needed filling I'd have used the genuine Smart /Mercedes fluid and a transfer pump which is easily purchased from Amazon. Using a torque wrench I retighten the filler plug to 43 Nm.

Unfortunately this bike encounters issues with fuel / petrol / gas delivery and the carburettor does have to be dismantled to resolve this. It has the Dellorto PHVA 17.5 unit and I was able to purchase a repair / gasket kit. Float bowl and jets were cleaned with compressed air and carb cleaner.

Whilst not technically a barn find, this motorcycle has been dry stored for many years and is now being recommissioned and prepared for an MOT test - a mandatory annual UK vehicle inspection to ensure reaches a standard of roadworthiness (there are some exemptions).
This YouTube video from Auto Knight includes bleeding the 2-stroke oil feed pipe, fitting a new CVT (constantly variable transmission) drive belt and variator rollers, changing the final drive gear oil, dismantling and rebuilding the seized front caliper which included replacing the front pads and bleeding the brake fluid. I also replace an instrument bulb for the low oil level warning system and fit a new rear centre wheel trim.

I replace the petrol / gas lines /pipes, the oil lines and also the inline fuel and oil filters which I attached using crimp type clips. Fuel lines can harden due to natural ageing of the rubber or incorrect use of E10 fuel. I removed the oil pump and correctly adjusted this. I used clear tubing for the oil line to be sure the system can be checked visually during bleeding to ensure no presence of air bubbles.
I discuss an upcoming video where I will turn my attention to the starting system, both electric start and kickstarter and the transmission, also the replacement of the front brake pads and caliper rebuild as it was seized.
