yep, no problem
i'm not getting you wrong. so don't worry

the video was that long because i was under the understanding that you didn't understand scopes,
but after making the video, you cleared that up.. so.. yeah.. :P i could have save myself a shit load of time

all good though
i can now access the site obviously
and i'll leave you to fix those other issues on your end at your leisure

i was just waiting on the answer about the personalized videos
but as i said in the video.
if you say NO, i can certainly respect your decision on your site

so.. cool, no videos then.
thanks for responding

Thanks mate
appreciate

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER
if you have ANY problem with anything i'm doing here Understand 2 things

1. I'm likely not doing it on purpose or in a malicious way
2. Always tell me if you want me to stop doing something, or to do it in a different way, dont' be shy ok

be cool mate
i am enjoying the videos on you tube and staring to get into the premium stuff , Just need to schedule the time.
I'm exited about learning this stuff

hey get this... OFF TOPIC for a second

Yesterday i was showing the young bloke what fluids need to be checked and where everything is in an engine bay

i showed him the dip stick for the Oil and how to check the oil
i pull the dipstick out
it was blacker than i've ever seen it

Now.. I've seen dirty oil and partly dirty
this wasn't brown, this wasn't black,
this looked like DEEP BLACK PAINT.... i was thinking holy fuck
i mean seriously
i just had m car serviced at 150,000 (navarra D40 Turbo Diesel 2010)
I'm now on around 151,000 and some change

i'm not a mechanic but,, i believe there is NO WAY in the world that the Oil can get that dirty in such a short period of time.

i honestly believe that they didn't change the oil
looks like they didn't change it the last 2 or 3 times

so i'm gonna do 2 things

1. I'm going to take this opportunity to teach the young bloke how to change oil on a car and Oil Filter
2. I'm going to put some of the Oil in a 600ml coke bottle and take it to the manager and show him

now, i don't care about the cost of it
but, i know those guys and i'm going to ask for WTF, Please Explain
and depending on the answer, i'll decide if i go back
because, seriously... can't get an oil change right

i wonder if they replaced the filter as well, or has that been on there for the last year as well. we'll see

be cool mate

What..?? is that Normal ?
for the Oil to be black as paint after 1000Kms

i spoke to the guys today about it and the low fluids
they said to me (and it sounded somewhat like bullshit)
they stated ... "Mate, i could change the oil in the car, brand new and turn the engine on for a few minutes and then pull out the dipstick for the oil and it'd be black"

that sounds way way out of left field
i would imagine the oil would be light brown first

he said "Soot gathers in the oil sump and turns the oil black, but in petrol cars this doesn't happen"

is this correct mate ?
speak soon
be cool

either way though
i was going to take the opportunity to teach the young bloke how to change the engine oil and put in Synthentic Oil (5W 30) and keep changing it every 5,000km contrary to the Manufacturer's advised 10,000Km for my car

i feel this would beneficial for my car
any thoughts

Well I think it's a good idea to change the oil yourself. Afterwards you can check the dipstick and you'll be surprised how fast it turns black.
