Watched the last McLaren video, saw the comment about the broken wire, liked said comment, hoped that Mat would see it, watched today’s video and saw him repair it! The satisfaction involved with that process is unreal! Kudos to the subscriber who caught it 🧐 and kudos to Mat listening😎! Love it! Can’t wait for the Mansory video!!!
Yeah, but he said in the replies on that original comment that it wasn't it and he'd checked it. I guess he didn't check close enough! Great to see it sorted anyway.
Mat has been letting out his sinister side lately, like scheming to rob people with unreturnable parts and snitching that he stole the tool from McClaren 😆. I like it.
And especially check out the first-in-the-World Ivermectin, Mebendazole and Fenbendazole Protocol in Cancer which has been peer-reviewed and published on Sep.19, 2024.
I love my budgies took a few days off work I am just watching your videos listening to music and the little guys are just flying around chirping their little hearts out. I don’t need much a fun car my birds and enough money to take time off when I feel like it.
Mat you should come to the Isle of Man, great driving roads and no speed limit in quite a few places😉. Brilliant videos as normal, keep it up. Living every boys dream
You my friend are a genius at repairing damaged cars. You are my UA-cam celebrity by far. Great work on all your builds. I’ve watched all your 2+ hour videos of you repairing damaged cars.
Always check basics when it comes diagnostics it’s what i learnt as apprentice while working at bmw. People often throw parts at a vehicle and think it solves the problem.and honestly speaking always when I watch Matt videos always get reminded to check the basics. Great content bro 🔥🔥🔥
As a master tech. Most faults I've ever found have been wiring/connection faults (haven't been a tech for 15yrs) the amount of customers that used to bitch about being ripped off by a main dealer only to turn round and say they'd paid thousands to Fred in shed for ecus etc.... less than an hour later wiring fault found
My uncle is a proper car fanatic, he's been hospital bound for the last 4 years due to pneumonia, and your videos always got him by... Sadly he passed away last week
Hi Mat Unfortunately the crimp connector you used is not a heat shrink version! Also soldering plus heat shrink is always 100% better than standard crimp as it’s a molten metal connection rather than two metals pushed together under force still allowing corrosion to take place. Sorry to be a nerd as I love your content. But it had to be said. Ryan
Hmm 100% you say. I would argue crimping has advantages over soldering when vibration is present. One of the reasons NASA chooses to crimp over solder.
Nah disagree. I've soldered and heat shrunk repairs in the engine bay before but they degrade over time with the heat and movement and end up breaking. Never had a problem with crimps and in fact some of the euro manufacturers actually recommend using crimp connectors for wire repairs.
Mat you should use solder heat shrink sleeves instead of those red connectors. These things solder and make a waterproof connection all with a lighter or heat gun. Will last much longer especially in a wheel arch.
Totally agree, joint it once with the solder heat shrinks, rock solid . I thought Matt recommended using these ages ago on the front corner of another car repair. He’ll use them next time. 😁
Early gang, and I absolutely love your videos matt! Whenever a new one comes out it's a drop everything and watch for me. I'm also an aviation mechanic but I haven't had a chance to really explore cars so watching you work on some of the best icons is the most inspiring and amazing experience. Keep up the amazing work and hopefully there will be a chance to mee yoy one day!
You actually did the right thing not soldering it as the resistance in the solder is different to the wire and can still throw out the sensor reading. 😊
If the ABS Sensor WIRE is stiff, it means either it has over heated or corroded internally. I am sure you have put it on the list of things to address during its next Service. As you know if one wire failed, and the wire next to it is close to failure with so few miles and time on the road, it hints at a Re-Call, and to check the other ABS Sensor harnesses for a similar condition. If one set of wires aged out, the others may as well.
Mat Armstrong is the best mechanic to me personally because I want to be a mechanical engineer for cars only and hopefully one day I will create my own CAR
A useful trick with re-assembly on plastic parts with metal screws, if you undo the screw until it goes click and drops into the old thread, then you can do it up using the old thread, this results in a stronger repair as you haven't created a second, third or fourth thread. Failing to do this results in a screw that won't tighten as there is no plastic left to screw into.
13:04 (Mat in his thougts) Not now! I'm trying to remember the promotional code i'm going to have to say. Nice you fix the Mclaren keep the good videos!
I remember that fella's comment on the video... He must watch the videos frame-by-frame to have caught that! Sensational team work, well done that man. I think those wheels are finally growing on me... And I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not! Car looks phenomenal anyway.
Absolute legend spotting that, I looked back and didnt see it when I read the comment. Also, I have no right to cry about this with how my own car electrical is looking atm 😂😂
Love your videos buddy, but don’t blur your speed cluster we all know what you’re doing. Find a private road. It only takes for a kid to drop out in the road, that’s how my best friends boy died
Love the content, ur an inspiration, the vibes, the banter, makes my day, have u thought about rebuilding cheap daily’s like golfs, fiestas , civics, but from 2002-2018 and also finding a few max power cars and rebuilding them with todays tech as in stereos, paint jobs, etc
Am I the only one who misses the old style Matt Armstrong channel just him and he’s girlfriend without the hangers on and sycophant’s? Good luck to him but it’s getting silly now imho
I wish I had the friends to be crazy with in a shop. I love watching the commarradary between you guys. I love working on cars but get so bored with nobody to joke around with
Mat! Im cryin because your didnt use a solderstick! theyre heat wrap with solder in the middle for just such repairs. those red connectors are made of a very cheap metal and plastic outer coating. happy to see the mclaren another step closer to perfect!
Great funny video- that ‘s the fun in fixing any car with the boys - thats what we did in the 1980 ‘s to have a car ready for the weekend to take out the top girl on the estate with the hope of light fingering.
Another great video mat. Smashing it like you always do. Keep up the great work which I’m sure you will do. Can’t wait till the next one! Hands down the best car youtuber or UA-camr overall.
This video feels like hanging out with friends in your private shop tuning your private daily driver. Only the fact thats a freakin supercar is mind-blowing.
Thanks Mat. I developed the exact same fault on my McLaren 720s last week. Speedo said 6mph, esc fault, cruise control fault. My dad an I fixed it today, saved £300,000 at McLaren 😂😂😂😂

That windtunnel part is hilarious, thanx Mat!
Would have been even funnier if they were facing the other way 🤣
@@guikoelln would have been funnier than that if the splitter fell off on the first blow lol.
Definetly driving at the speed limit when your dash was blurred :)
Man was going up to 5th gear on back roads 😂
😂😂😂😂
He should also blur the view out of the Windshield, since the distance between the telephone polls could be used to figure out how fast he was going.
cry about it
The car was just "broke"
Matt, the only way to make sure the front splitter stays on is to drive it to Malory Performance Dyno and see if it meets the same fate as the BMW

If you are going to use crimp connectors buy a decent set of ratchet crimper they make a better joint

Absolutely love the mk2 channel, and I’m loving the fact that you’s are doing repairs on these super cars that get used on every other car

You are spot on about crimps rather than soldering. There is a good reason car maufacturers and planes crimp everything!
Just need to be careful with the tesa tape as it’s not waterproof, if anything it retains water
I am so hooked on your content all the way from South Africa. Awesome stuff bro 😊

However proper repair procedure would be to replace the wire, according to ASE you shouldn’t repair abs wires.

Watching you 3 abuse the McLaren was the most amusing thing ive watched in a while. Id love to see you all together more
Mat and the boys doing late night repairs while stoned is great entertainment. 😂
What a funny bunch of friends! Love it 🙏🏻👊🏻❤️

Good mechanics use a multimeter and find the issue instead of throwing the parts cannon at it.
Hahahaha, what a chancer that knows nothing and relies on ideas from other people? Yeah the best... At winging it.
Ive been following you for almost a year now and i love all your videos❤❤❤ keep it up me friend
Funny how on 4:55 his speedometer has been faded. You would almost say he is doing something illegal 😂
I will be crying, that I can not hangout with you guys once or twice a week in person. All of you keep up the good work.
04:39 blurring the dash so the coppers don’t see how much you’re breaking the speed limit by! 😂
That won’t stop them looking into this at some point. Or getting pulled up on the road by a plain clothes copper 🤷🏻♂️
