    We broke down in my twin turbo Lamborghini as soon as we got off the ferry in spain. We tried to diagnose the issue, but had no luck and had to leave it at a random garage in spain. Now we had to head back to the Lamborghini and try to fix it before trying to get back onto the ferry to the UK. Then we had an issue with the Spanish police on the way that wanted to tow the car away!

    It's crazy how out of all the crash damaged cars you've bought (including a Maserati), the car you've had the most reliability issues with is a Lamborghini you bought from a dealership...
    Glad you've got it back to the UK, must've been stressful having car issues abroad

    Mat and Hannah! How wonderful that you both had the moral fibre to film the whole gut wrenching adventure. My girlfriend and I had a similar experience driving to the south of France in an Escort Mexico back in the 1970s. We learnt a lot of french words for car parts and eventually got it repaired without cutting short the holiday. We married soon after that and are still together almost 50 years later! (Just saying…) 💪😊😎🥰

    In the future, here's a tip for any vehicle with a crank position sensor.. (almost any modern car with EFI) : When trying to start, look at the tach. If you have no tach movement whilst cranking, or it drops out whilst cranking, you've lost the CPS. 30 Year Euro car tech chiming in. And yes, they do fail randomly and are often affected by heat in their failure mode. No starts, I always watch the tach.

    I grew up with little means and my mom owned a few MOPAR cloud cars (the Cirrus and Stratus specifically here in the U.S.). Two of those cars exhibited these exact same symptoms when, of course, their crank sensors failed. Your bit about no one wanting to help you resonated with me as we experienced the same thing. We would stall out at random and people would just get angry at us and never try to help. Of course we waited months to get it to a mechanic that could fix it, so it was an experience that shaped me to stop and help anyone I could as long as it were safely possible. Glad you made it back well.

A person had the audacity to say 'you can't park there, you're blocking the entrance' and I was so dehydrated (very hot day) and upset that I just flipped at them whilst still on the phone to the breakdown.

    Hi Mat. I only recently discovered your channel but am now addicted. I very much admire your skills, enthusiasm and character. I started watching your Lamborghini trials in Spain when it was unclear what the problem was. It made me think back to a Citroen CX I owned back in the 1980`s. I would go out in it never knowing if I would be getting back home. It would just cut out at random. My local garage spent hours trying to identify the problem - no computer boxes back then.. Funnily enough they also changed a fuel solenoid active when.starting and it iseemed to work. 2 days later it conked out again. It was eventually solved - a faulty crankshaft sensor! I was amazed when it turned out that your problem was the same. My very best wishes, Roger.
