Great content my bro 👏 Edit: Only thing I’d say is completely avoid copper grease anywhere near your brakes. In-fact, avoid that thing completely. Many alternatives available out there
Yo! This is mad. A comment from the main man 🙌🏽 Thank you so much for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind 🤝🏽
@@markaldenyou’ve got great content bro. I know you’ll blow up real quick! Keep at it 💪🏽 Great to see a fellow 🇵🇭 on the grind 😁
@@themarvelousvlog this means so much bro 🙌🏽🥹 Yes sirr 🇵🇭
Caliper bolts have a torque setting . Also I would not advise anyone to buy brake parts off the internet. I have had customers supply parts that are not even good fakes. There are warnings of brake parts, spark plugs, filters, bushings, clutches and suspension arms coming into the trade all the time. Some are very good , our LUK clutch rep said some are so good now they have had trouble spotting them but have now put additional security on parts. . Also be aware many fakes are not that much cheaper , which gives the added impression that they are genuine. Personally the only difference I could see between the real NGK spark plug and the fake one , was the missing ground electrode which had scored the bore.....
Ahh yes, i should have mentioned about the calliper bolt torque settings. I was aware of fake spark plugs but i’ve not heard of fake brakes tbh. Scary world out there indeed
Watching this video from India 🇮🇳 I own same car😂
💪🏽
Can you do oil change please ❤
Oil change coming up!
while it might be quick i remember when i do mine the pads are the easy part of it the clip that goes on the side being a Ford took like 10 times the time of doing the pads as they are a pain in the ass
Oh dear 😭
Caliper slide pin lubrication with silcone grease while you were there, vital part of any brake job to prevent sticking calipers which are common on MX5s also careful about removing metal from the pad (more likely corrosion on caliper mount bracket needs cleaning instead) or they will rattle over bumps. That quote seemed a little iffy though ! Nice to see the MX5 again 😊
Ahh yes of course. Thank you 🙌🏽 appreciate the helpful comment. And yes, the quote definitely didn’t sit right with me
Brilliant video, sent this to my mate and he can barrow my tool and complete the work studying this vid😅 I love it
Really appreciate the kind comment 🙌🏽 thank you
great work mark looking forward to your next build
Thank you so much 🙌🏽
Great video. Keep it up!
Thank you 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Congratulations on the dedication and hard work you've put in to this project. Your video editing skills make it really enjoyable to watch. Not one to watch really long videos, but watched the hike thing in two times. Keep it up. Excited to see the watch the next episode.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching 🙌🏽
You’re a good mechanic , keep it up . During Covid it kept in sane driving about around the country roads near me . I’m sorry you got my car as your 1st . I had a garage that forgot to tighten the wheel nuts and it messed the rear divers side . That’s why it doesn’t have a lock nut . I tried fixing it myself but made a mess .
It was a good first car to work on 👌🏽
I replaced mine with LED they differently white(top and bottom, parks and brights), nice video💪
Audi R8 is not pratictal for everyday vehicule but its a super rare car and also a super car efficient on the speed for higways
A brilliant little car indeed
Where did you get your steering wheel done? It looks mega...
Hi Andy, I got mine from Premium Bespoke Autoworks. It was custom made, to what I wanted it to look. So you could do the same if you’re planning on getting an upgrade 🙊👌🏽
Hahaha had me going then dude!
Hahaha
@@markalden I was hoping you were going to say you hate the wheels as an excuse to test fit the vossens 😂😂😂
@@ADK_OK 🤣🤣 thats not sold yet?
@@markalden nah, not actually put them up for sale 😂 want to see them on your R8 though! 😂
I felt the same about my lowered pimped out M4. Always nervous about speed bumps and parking.
Speed bumps and pot holes 🤢
Super car!
My guy!! 🙌🏽
How dare you toy with our emotions like that 😂❤
🤣🤣 sorry
🔥🔥
Thank you Mr Hope!
Too Much of your face & Not the car Mate. Show the Car more Ffs.
you'll just have to watch my other vids then 🤭
Amazing video dude! How did I miss it?!?
thank you broo!
👌👏

Lol. I watched AdamC's "how much I spend" video and it's like "Premier Inn, Maccy Ds, and a bottle of Pepsi". This mfer is staying in Lord Swanky's country pile, eating caviar and quail, and riding in supercars.
🤣🤣 ffs this made me laugh
There is an adjustment hole in the drum to make it easier
Thank youu
Awesome video dude! Was an epic day out hanging with you guys, I feel like we need to try my Vossens on your R8 for sure now! 😂
Thank you brother! Stop it and the vossens haha😅
@@markalden I think you should at least try them on for size 💪 R8 would look mega sat on them ✌️
100% watch time from me, nice video mate 👍
I’m doing the same he deserves it!
Here is the question tho! Veyron or Chiron?
Appreciate you a lot brother!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@3xD3rveyron for sure, if I had the money😅
Looks soooo good bro.
Thank you Shabir!
The Mercedes OIl and service kit required to allow this to be officially logged on the MB service logs costs almost this.. These guys have very low labour costs
Mega vid dude! Will defo have to get down there on the same day next year! It’s a serious day out for any petrol head!
Thank you sir!
👏🏻 👏🏻
🙌🏽🙌🏽
You are an absolute legend for that launch control! Agreed dude! Give the people what they want!!
Haha my guy! 🙌🏽 thats what they came for right? Hehe
Hey mate, looking at buying an R8 (probably around 2014) but probably the V10 plus. What are they like in terms of issues generally? Not so fussed about servicing or brakes etc but more the major stuff like gearbox, engine, steering rack etc. Any advice would be appreciated pal 👍🏻
Generally pretty bulletproof. S-tronic gear box is pretty good as well. Achilles heel for these cars is the suspension - check that they aren’t leaking.
@@markalden the mag ride is so expensive to replace it’s scary. Last question I promise, do you know by any chance if you can take out an Audi warranty on a car of that age? Mainly for the engine and gearbox
@@celticfan67 as far as I am aware if bought from main dealer they will offer warranty (depending on the dealer ofc). I got mine from a private dealer and paid for a 3 year "warranty" of some sort that covers engine and gearbox damage. Just in case hehe
How much of a deposit did u put down mate?
16k if i remember correctly
Did you have a GPF delete?
Just a backbox delete
Awesome video m8 :)
cheers mate
great information really helpful
Thank you 🤘🏽
how was the alignment after?
No problems at all
migh aswell update the media player aswell
Future plans - but tbh i barely use it as I just listen to the car 🤣
I'm not sure about your video as you do not meet the engineering side of understanding. You shouldn't really be on sports plus pushing your car until your oil temp is 85 degrees, please. Secondly your will appreciate the seat belt warning light when you have kids and finally why would you complain about mpg when you always choose to drive in sports plus 🤦🏽♂️
You sound like a fun guy
What a sad little hater. I wonder if you even have a car like this or even meet the “engineering side of understanding” yourself. It’s obviously just his hobby, not profession. I’ve seen his newer videos and he’s clearly more knowledgeable and learning as he goes along. Live a little man😂
You're doing this wrong. The usual problem is the lever inside the brake drum that is attached to the hmdbrake cable. They seize up so the brake ahoes don't spring back fully, then they wre down. You have to make sure that lever isn't seized up. Either take it apart and grese the pivot points, or replace it. Put the drum back on and remove the rubber plug, poke a screwdriver through and tighten up that adjuster one click at a time until the shoes grab the drum. Then back it off by 2 or 3 clicks. Only after doing that should you try and adjust the handbrake tension using that nut behind the handbrake lever. You can tighten it up to get it through an MoT but if those internal levers are rusty and stuck it won't be long before the handbrake slackens off.
Great idea getting the autographs on a shirt.
Thank you! Next it’ll be your autograph hehe Shia Labeouf 😝
25mpg average sounds too good to be true!
Wicked wicked video.. maddd lambo! Keep it up bro 👊🏼

No comparison the r8 is leagues ahead of the square box a class it’s all aluminium space frame exotic looks high revving 8300 rpm engine it’s a differnt kettle of fish
two years of ownership now and you are most certainly correct!
