    This week, Jack, Ethan and Edwin attempt to get the abandoned Mk2 VW Golf GTI project finally finished and legally back onto the road. They'll clean it up with a satisfying detail, then take it for the UK's challenging inspection, the MOT. Will it pass and be ready for a roadtrip in the next episode, or will it fail and need more mechanical work after the tester finds everything wrong with our GTI?

      @shona5512 Před 10 měsíci +39

      100%. Alex was overly sarcastic and often came across as if he was trying too hard to be funny when he was on Car Throttle, it sometimes came across as mean spirited (mainly when it was directed at Ethan). Alex is much better on his own channel and has become a better presenter when he's surrounded by people like Taylor that match his energy.
      Likewise, this channel has become much better with Jack taking on the role of the main presenter, he's self deprecating and sarcastic without coming across as hateful, and Edwin is mechanically knowledgeable while also being effortlessly funny.
      The role switch up was the best thing to happen to both channels.

    My recently revived SW20 MR2 had been in a unit for 13 years, collecting dust and as dead as we expected. She may have cranked with a fresh battery and some V-Power but she was in dire need of resto work. So my mate did just that. He dropped the engine and gearbox from the car, fabricated new brake and clutch lines, as well as replaced the old heating matrix lines. Once that was done she got new filters, new fluids, new gaskets, a new clutch and release bearing, new brake discs and pads, strut top mounts, a radiator, throttle and handbrake cables as well as a Rev4 speedometer conversion.
    13 years of sitting in a barn and she flew through an MOT and is now happily back on the road. Goes to show that if you have the time, money and resources, anything can go back on the road

    Pretty sure you know the way. It’s in Curborough 👌

    The highs and lows of dealing with old, cheap previously unloved cars in one video. Good work you lot.

    This is awesome! Love seeing old gear being fixed up and made to work again (a rear right brake caliper) plus so much better to see something get a new life (a rear right brake caliper) instead if going for scrap. I’ve enjoyed all three episodes (a rear right brake caliper) so very much hoping to see more of this car in the channel in future. A rear right brake caliper. ❤

    The problem with lightweight cars having disc brakes at the rear... I mean, I fixed up my dad's old Charade g102 (also stood in tall grass by a forest for 10ish years) that he had plenty of problems with the back brakes, but after I replaced everything except the drums, they have worked perfectly since.

    im about to make a video doing the power steering rack in my mk2 and this is all the inspiration i need
    I also had many break issues with my mk2 and replaced every single brake line and hose also master cylinder and calipers but its so worth it
