right the smart car there and some problems with the gear so what's happening I started up I can get into first but when I go to put it in reverse it only comes up with zero I have to put it in first drive it forward that does something in the gearbox goodness knows what then I can select reverse um which is fine until you park too close to something that you can't go forwards so we thought we're going to change the transmission or it's been doing a few weird things so we've we've got it precariously up put our new ramps which looks just bizarre now and we thrown tire underneath but we all safe Tyler we're safe enough we've got it locked in gear and we are gonna have a look at draining the oil honor alright so let's see how we can do this if I go round the side here Tyler and you can go underneath and point everything out to everyone so if we look up here let's have a look run to the car the lights gonna work well we have this adjusting it's adjusting right so it's doing this stuff so you could point out their drain where we're gonna drain from what and then often point to it there okay so we work out a seven millimeter socket on that name earn the house five eighths or eight and it's good job period time all right so let's have a go at loosening it then but you don't want to take it out it's gonna drip on you a while it suggests I just put that in and give it a little tap with the hammer but that'll do two things that'll make sure it's located fully in it and it will also you're gonna have to lie on your back that's it and it will also give a bit of vibration that will help loosen the threads so you won't have to look so weak now hopefully you've got about five or six threads so just as soon as you got it loose and then we'll reposition ourselves now you gotta get it engaged now all right now that's doing it up my corner all right that's it whoa he went right okay so now I suggest you sort of extract yourself mildly from under the car and get that drain so we've got the drain tray we've got our proper drain tray we look professional here is loose area we'll get in the game oh yeah there we go artist I've got the lights bit tricky back here I'm gonna try and coming in the other way hold on all right the light might be bare yeah we're ready we're keeping back toilet don't splash me Len I knew you don't Yeah right and you've done your calculations of where it's gonna hit you're part of it well maybe yeah right then you're right Tyler yeah there you go we've got a drain plug a bit easy then well it's got oil in it now one thing we ought to do tighter when that's finished you mean it we will look at the oil and look if there's anything in there it seems they wait for my he's having oh my goodness first thing in the morning I'm looking for little bits of metal so we'll have a look if there's any bits of mess or anything looking too worrisome but it generally looked alright anyways it was dirty all right we'll let that settle and see what sort of sludge we got in fact all those plugs in it toilet doesn't all drain away and then we'll have a little look at the sludge but when I was in no sorry in there bottom of that yeah but you got so because I want to examine the sludge with my finger in a second so put on those yellow bugs back in there well dodging their Iranian oil right let's go and get cleaned up and then what cuz I want to do is I want to have a look at some other sludgy oil see what it is like alright so if we go on there are pristine smart guy here fill er up a whole can you just point it I've got it there in the middle of the picture that's it brilliant right so that's got a 8 millimeter hex socket on it so let's have a go at I'm doing that then tie that and see if we can fill it and we've got a puppy don't first thing we do before we do anything it always it'll be a schoolboy error is put that one in apparently you can put some sort of sticky stuff round it to stop it falling out but I think if you just whack that in there toilet and do it up as like that's antique lot or you need to go the other way you know backwards Steve feeling I gotta admit I have done that before Tyler I've done an oil change I've let it drain and I filled it up at the top and check the dipstick only to discover I've put clean oil all over the floor

made a mess someone as professional as me even someone so fast as me Tyler has done that before can you imagine gone oh that's tight enough there you go there's probably a proper talk for that you have to go to a professional YouTube video to find that right you go give him another little tap with the amur again as well you have not been able to get it in there all day Tyler you can get the key in the defender you can get the key in the container lot just been rubbish all day it's all the stress of this lockdown nonsense get into your Tyler that's it that make sure it's all the way in turn to vibrations are they under it right girl name get on that one oh she's gonna drive beautiful by the time he's done all this time you cannot drink my smart guy yeah me thank your own you oh it's when you crack your knuckles almighty rules right alright when it gets loose toilet do it by n because I reckon you've got a bit more control on well we're not no we're not so worried now ain't got a load of oil coming out on you got it stuck in this now you might have to take it into the Voisin tap it out how long is it I'll say what we'll do we'll leave it in there cuz no point taking off we need to give me a socket and I I'll bet you when we put it back in it'll sort of rotate the other way when it gets tight and he'll come out we'll leave that there right top tip don't panic right see if you get some of our deck storm 2 in there she's hungry for it do we know that well I don't know what the official capacity is but we'll tell you all right when it starts pouring back out again toilet it's full now we're somewhat inclined don't we Tyler so do you think as you probably do this on a level surface I reckon if you're a professional you should I don't honestly reckon it's gonna make a whole lot of difference but just in case someone Sue's this toilet for giving them bloody advice do it on and do it on a level surface to debt no don't say that we have had and we've got things wrong before but we try and sort out only yeah right I don't think everyone wants to watch you clucking let's wait till it starts pouring out so what how many litres have you got there you got one liter there yeah we should take over I think it's like 1.4 all right let's have a go all right we've got be getting close now well what we into now or she'll calibrated hand weight telling you into 1.4 yet or we into 1.5 calibrated he's hungry he's having it all insane like rusty I'll just call him rusty right it's now starting to dribble out so they go that's it yeah we can see the jaywalk perfect again we haven't got the car flat that we've probably done a bit of a naughty somewhere we still don't know they still fix our gear problems but always worth doing a transmission oil change what's the downside other than making a mess costing money and taking time we need to do it anyway yeah 80,000 miles on a little smart 450 gonna be off the ramps you pushing the order right now yeah yeah ah they try going girly go we out yep right we are all done that is the transmission oil change let me see if I can drive it off oh yeah a toilet they just mentioned it's about to point we've used 2.4 liters but again we haven't got it flat so it might be my my Nobby look at all those that bottles going right let's have a look a bit dry so that's the proof of the pudding toilet is in the eating yep started Oh [Music] [Music]
