- The joy of acquiring a new classic car was hampered somewhat when my 1992 Oltcit (built in Romania, a cast-off Citroen design) refused to run. This time, I dig into the carburettor to see if I can fix it. This is the 1000th HubNut video! Thank you all so much for watching.

I literally sat here and clapped when the Oltcit started. The wife thinks I'm going round the bend!! Congrats on a 1000 videos Ian & here's to the next 1000.
The most enjoyable and interesting content on you tube. Here's to another thousand.
Well done, here's to a thousand more
So pleased your channel is doing so well. Such a relief to have found a car nerd focusing on ordinary, every day cars and not £million dream machines only available to the super rich. This is what car programmes used to be like before the presenters' egos became more important than the cars themselves. Here's to another 1000 videos Ian. Keep up the good work.
That Oltcit is growing on me. Fairly conventional exterior, nicely wacky interior.
"Running absolutely beautifully" but unstoppable! Love this little car - How about a road trip to where she was built when she's back on the road?!?
Agreed
That is a great idea. I guess Romania’s Covid status is irrelevant because it’ll be a few years before the Oltcit is back on the road?
Could be that long with the DVLA the way they are at the moment...
Ian will get it road legal no problems!
@@barrydavies998 Doubting Ian is a loser's game. UNLESS...it's a Goader's game!
I do like the Oltcit badge on the grille. It looks just like the Starfleet insignia
Ha, I said that before you did 😜
It's half a Citroen badge. (Probably not literally. I don't suppose there was somebody with a hacksaw...)
remind me of the Chinese Chery car brand
Citroen badge represents chevron gear, which Andrè got patent to produce from polish gay when he was in Poland
21:32 the Sierra owner in the next building makes CZcams videos and gets really fed up having to put #notmyoltcit on them 😀
Or #notmycitroens
Congratulations for this Oltcit, it's running beautifully! I just want to point out this is not the actual bottom of the range, it's something like mid range. There was an even more basic one without rear wiper and sometimes even without rear defrost. My friend has one of those basic ones but with the very rare green interior and i've driven it many times and done many kilometres in it.
Live long and prosper, Oltcit.
''Look mum, no triangle of doom!!!"
Never heard or seen Oltcit vehicles before but i like it.
It's a Citroen made in Olt County Romania, so the names was mixed Olt+Cit :)
And that's why we love Hubnut, the sound of a continually churning starter motor and the boyish excitement if a running engine. Looking forward to the next 1000 instalments of daring and do.
Thank you very much, Ian, for another classic HubNut video, epitomising what you are all about. Your work is a heady mix of entertainment, information and inspiration, in constantly varying proportion. Long may it continue, here's to the next thousand!
Congrats to the 1000 Ian, I am looking forward to the next 1000 videos! :) Elena comes to my mind as a name for the Oltcit, this car is really sweet and nice looking. I am glad that you didn't give up on the project in the end!
Congrats on 1000 videos. It is always exciting when you get your project car to start for the first time. Hope the rest of the work goes as well. Definitely looking forward to seeing it on the road.
Been here since ClassicHub pre caravan.
Well done on 1000 videos. This has been my favourite channel for a number of years now as your content is always enjoyable to watch, regardless of its content.
Here's to more future adventures!
Call it "Pickles" ( Matches the plate )
Vlad the Impaler?
Olga the Oltcit ?
@@bobaraneta721 If you spelled it "Vlad the Impala", it would be quite ironic considering the size and origin of the car I'd say.
@@Ragnar8504 How about "Vlad the Impala from Romania"?
@@bobaraneta721 A bit unwieldy, perhaps, but certainly appropriate! How about "Vlad, the Romanian Impala"?
Congratulations on reaching a monumental milestone and for keeping us all relatively sane.
After having watched this channel for a while, I somehow got cravings for old Citroens, so on that note I can only say: Speak for yourself, I am nuttier than ever!
Congratulations on the 1000th video, and for getting the Oltcit going! I like that car, and I'm looking forward to seeing more tinkering on it. A brake overhaul and a service would be a nice starting point and hopefully not too taxing a task. And yes, that logo really is like the Starfleet logo!
Many congratulations on your 1000th video. Truly, your vids are like mini-adventures, always an exploration of the subject car, surprises and joys, and best of all the cars are just real and not egomaniac machines. Best car channel by a long way.
Congratulations Ian. Your channel has gone from strength to strength over the years. The first video I watched was the first TWC the Invacar video because I hadn’t seen one in decades 😊
Many congrats on your 1000th video. Well deserved congratulations I think.
As Johnny Late Braking says "dehydrated per" lol. Water or some gunk in the float bowl? I'm being impatient as I'm less than half way through the video 🤭 This is so exciting...
Hey, she lives. No one's laughing now at having a spare car, good move.
Congratulations, 1000 is an achievement and the result i am sure of so much hard work that we do not see.
Congratulations on 1000 videos! I propose calling the Oltcit "Olive" - she may need some oyl!
Funny when Ian mentioned a name for the car 'Olive, immediately came to mind too.
Many congratulations on this milestone! looking forward to seeing what will come on the best channel with the ever-changing fleet (which is surprisingly 'unchanged' the last couple of months 😁😁)
Good for you getting it running! I Really like that Oltcit, hope to see it do some longer journeys.
26:10 Man and Oltcit in perfect harmony. Love the little smile on your face as you rev her. Small victories are great.
Congratulations on 1000 videos Ian and brilliant to see the new Oltcit running. Thank you for sharing all the down to earth tinkering and coaxing along the cars of yesteryear, the road tests, collection capers, journeys to far away lands, and of course the HubNut fleet and family. I hereby award you my first ever CZcams comment as I celebrate with tea and wish you many more buckets of success.
Congratulations Ian on 1000 videos and getting Olly started !!
Wow 1000 videos!! That's a lot of cups of tea making all those 👍
With the exception of the lack of disasters, this was a very fitting one thousandth HubNut video.
Congratulations Ian. Here's to the next 1,000 videos!
PS - I think the Oltcit looks like an Odette
Yeah. Odette.
This is why I watch HubNut. An ordinary bloke trying to get a really rare car going. I can't get this great content anywhere else. ♥♥
“Look at the detritus coming out of that!” 🤣
Well done, Mr Nut. Here’s to the next 1,000.
20 minutes after you posted I thought I heard a cheer across distant hills! Congratulations on 1000 videos, I've had a beer to celebrate 😁 I love so many parts of the Oltsit! Styling is very neat and elegant, dashboard looking like a transformers face, grille badge lifted straight from star trek next gen commbadge. We'll done Ian! See you in 1001 (or back catalogue 😋)!
1000 videos!
thank you for your commitment and pure dedication
Congrats Ian. 1000 videos and every one a gem. That Oltcit certainly appears to be a much better proposition than the other one. Glad to see you making headway. Mart in Solihull.
I can sympathise having been in this situation this month with my Metro after I appear to have previously run the tank dry. Replaced the fuel pump, filter, it had a recent new carb... but the fuel wouldn’t come from the tank. My quest continues. Congrats on 1000 vids Ian! 👏 🥳 🎉
Fuel line possibly clogged with crud. Blow the line out with compressed air. Open the petrol filler cap first.
@@brianevans656 thanks Brian, unfortunately after trying exactly that the fuel still wouldn’t come up! I suppose I could try adding another 5 litre jerry can of fuel to it before I get it recovered to a garage...
It's past 2am here in New Zealand, but I had to see if the Oltcit would properly cough into life. I think the tiredness and lack of sleep has contributed to make me feel giddy with pleasure when she stayed running.
Well done on reaching 1000 videos! To think that it was the review of the humble Allegro that introduced me to your quirky videos.
My first thought of a name was 'Olga', but a quick search of Romanian names turns up 'Oana', a girl's name which apparently means 'charming light'.
The cup of Oltcit runneth over! Glad to see the heater has the traditional 'trilby' and 'brogue' settings so familiar to C15 drivers. 1000 videos in the bag, great stuff, here's to the next 1000.
I am so pleased that you got the Oltcit running for your 1000th episode. I just love the way you tinker around with old cars and keep them going. - here is to the next 1,000 Cheers Stephen
Well done on a thousand and so pleased you got the Oltcit going! Yours is a must view channel on my list.
Huzzah!
You are now a CZcams Millennial!
You have an Oltcit that goes! (doesn't stop, but you can't have everything.)
And it's all done with kindness: I do so like the way you talk to your cars like well-meaning but not very bright dogs.
Congratulations on 1000 videos … making so many of us smile on a regular basis …and of course starting the Oltcit who needs to be christened Olga 😊
Congratulations on 1000 videos! Binge watching them was a great source of entertainment in lockdown. The Oltcit will be a worthy addition to the fleet and thoroughly deserved a wash.
21:44 Who's a happy bunny then? Ian is - yay, Ottilie runs! That's what I'd call her. What a little "pickle" when she kept stalling in the first few minutes; she reminded me of my F-reg Seat Ibiza 1.5GLX which used to behave exactly like that (she was Arantxa and her carb jets were very sensitive). Anyway, many congratulations on 1000 videos which have been so great to watch, and here's to many more.
Congrats on 1000 videos and well done on getting the Oltcit running..... Been watching since April 2019 and just about got through all your videos!! Here's to the next 1000.....
Double Congratulations Ian! I first saw you a few years ago when you and Jesus sorry,Rich went to Romania to pick up a certain mighty Dacia! It has been a pleasure to watch the channel grow over those years. I hope to say hi at a show in the (hopefully) not too distant future. Here's to video 2000!
Fantastic update. Great to see an operational Oltcit. Well done👍
Congratulations Mr Hubnut! Keep going with the top notch tinkering content........you even managed to get a little bit of 1812 overture out of that carb when you were spraying it with cleaner! (but don’t forget to ptchooooo!)
Well done Ian, nice to see her running and driving! My thought when she would not start was that the needle valve was probably stuck closed, taking the lid of the carb was probably more than enough to unstick it. But looking at the crud in the bowl, I would say it was a very good job you did take the carb apart, you would not have wanted all that crud stuck in your jets. But so nice to see her coming back to life, a worthy event for the 1000th video!
Many congratulations on your 1000th Video. Well done ! :)
Congratulations! Here's to 1000 more!
We need more Oltcit action! Congrats for 1000th video! Keep them coming!
Very fitting for 1k. Now you can go where no Oltcit has gone before but just without brakes. Had to watch that twice just to get the full glory of that dash.
Double Congratulations to you Ian. For reaching 1000 videos & getting the Oltcit up & running & washed. May I suggest that you give the name "Olga the Oltcit" I think it would suit the car. 👍👍👍
Congratulations Mr HubNut on 1000 videos, paintwork looks not too bad now its had a wash. Call it Olga.
I know you said on Twitter that the 1000 video mark sort of crept up and so you didn't have a "special" video to show but I think this was was more fitting for your channel. It is after all what this channel is known for. Tinkering on old or odd vehicles.
Congratulations on reaching 1000 videos, looking forward to the next thousand.
Congrats on the 1000 vids, and hopefully many more to come! Until your channel, I'd never heard of an Oltcit, and now you've got a runner! I got a "shades of Vice Grip Garage" chuckle when you turned on the fan, and all the crud began blowing out the vents, and the "no brakes". Yup. That's...fine...
Thousands of Romanians worldwide clapping when their old commi wagon fired up. One of the cleanest cars you've got 👍
Congratulations on number 1000. Great you got the Oltcit fired up. Good luck with the rest of the restoration. I want to get my old Metro 998cc started sometime, these projects are always fun. Take care.
Congratulations, and here's to the next 1000! Great news about the oltcit - looking forward to seeing how this goes
1k videos is amazing. Thanks for sharing them 👍
Keep them coming!!!! , a great thing to celebrate and a car starting as well!
Well done Ian been brilliant coming along with you on those videos and the journey you have come on!
Congratulations on reaching 1000 videos!
Congratulations on 1000 videos. As for her name I think Cindy is a good name for an Oltcit. Can't wait to see the tinkering on this car.
Congratulations Ian on your 1000th video, this was a real goody. Very impressed with your mechanic problem solving skills on this one!
Reminiscent of the exciting very initial resuscitation of TWC. It is so lovely to watch old cars come back to life.
Firstly, here's cheers to your fantastic content hitting 1000, and secondly, that is one of my favorite dashboards I have seen on a car, comparable to any 40s, 50s American, European 'aircraft' influenced design, 70s' sci-fi digital or 80s- 90s rat rods. Thank you for the review.
Congratulations on the 1000 videos! My favourite car channel on CZcams, I used to subscribe to lots of them, but most end up focusing only on flashy/modern cars once they make a bit of money, and that's not my cup of tea at all. I currently have 4 videos and 17 subscribers haha I need to work much harder to get to 1000 videos 😄😄
Well done Ian, keep up the good work matey...
Great to see the oltcit up and running, it looks in good condition now you've washed it...
Look forward to the next 1000 videos. 👍👍🙂🙂.
Congrats on the thousand Ian, (think I've watched them all). Bring on the next lot!! 🍾👍
Call him Ollie….. goes well with Ellie 😊
What a fitting climax to your 1000th video! Congratulations, and here's to your next 1000 videos (as well as the glorious day -- coming soon, I'm sure -- when you reach 100K subscribers).
I don't know the first thing about fixing cars but I love watching you 'fixing' cars:)
Congrats Ian, also liked the 205 video.
Today filled up my little Peugeot 1007, €1,91 per liter (ouch).
1.91 a litre? does it run on smirnoff?
2€/L will be the European norm soon get used to it already. Inflation wise it's still cheap compared to other goods over the last 15 years.
€1.91?? Yikes! I filled up my BMW e46 coupe today and that was €1.63 I think? It was at a low cost/discount petrol station though (in Portugal)
In some countries you're also forced to fill up with 98, because 95 was replaced by E10
Thumbs 👍up Ian.....and here's too the next 1000..keep them comeing, loving the content 👌.
Congratulations on 1000 videos! Seem to remember pumping the accelerator with the choke out can flood it. I was willing the choke to be pushed back in!
Happy 1000th Video! Here is to 1000 more. And so glad your Oltcit works. Now i'm trying to think of names on the Oltcit .. Olga comes to mind, meaning Divine Woman
Congratulations on reaching 1000 videos! I really like your channel. It seems very well researched and I like the relaxed but enthusiastic presenting style. So pleased you eventually got an Oltcit going too.
Well done Ian!! Enjoying your channel. 1000 is brilliant. That Oltcit is my 1982 Citroen Visa Special's cousin! Now that IS lowly spec. Get that thing on the road!!!! :-)
Well done, Ian. Wonderful to see the wee red beastie moving under her own power. Looks like great fun indeed. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what is next.
Congratulations for reaching your 1000th video, love the videos. Very happy that oldcit started eventually.
1000 vids, that's impressive, well done, keep them coming, great content.
I've put out 75 so far in 18mths, at this rate I'll catch up in 19 years 🤣
Congratulations on reaching your 1000th video, and what a way to celebrate with a running Oltcit.👍
Congratulations on the 1000th. I discovered hubnut at the beginning of the 1st lock down and I'm now up to date. Thanks for keeping me entertained and sane.
Hi Ian, congratulations on your 1000 video's, and all so on getting the oldsit running happy days, here is to the next mile stone,, take care.
Hoorah!!! I have been wondering where all my time has gone!!! Congrats Ian 👍👍👍👍
This is a worrying turn of events... Hubnut FIXED something! Ever more worrying is the fact it didn't take several days of fruitless toil and strife. Let's hope this was just a 1 in 1000 hiccup and normal Hubnutness(TM) returns pronto! 😉 Congrats on the 1000th video.
Having revived an AU Falcon (mine still had the headliner) that sat for 3 years, I know that feeling when the motor bursts into life for the first time. It's an ecstatic feeling that is only matched when it actually idles properly afterwards. Then when you actually get it sorted and roadworthy and registered. Keep going, it's vicariously filling my need to see old bangers come back to life and be enjoyed.
Congratulations on the 1000. Great fault finding and I agree that battery pack made a good effort. The car looked very well after its first wash.
Your enthusiasm is infectious. Fortunately I've had both jabs 😁
Result…. That applies to the “getting the Oltcit running” and the 1000 milestone!
Not only have you arrived to 1,000 videos but for the first time in I can't remember something on HubNut has been tinkered with to the wanted conclusion first time, no mishaps. Looks like the worm has turned for you Ian ! :)
Congratulations. That's a lot of hard work, but hopefully rewarding.
Congratulations on your 1000th Video and with the Oltcit, and hope to see another 1500 Videos. greetings from the Netherlands Akko
Hugely amusing 1,000th video. Lots of work to do to make it roadworthy but the beast lives!!!
The joyous times we will have with the oltcit's journey with hubnut at the helm leading the way to greatness. That day will come when the clan of hubnut followers will meet in a tranquil pub car park and witness the sheer beauty of the oltcit, amen.
