- Never failed an MOT like that before! It was actually aborted... Filmed over a month, this is the story of replacing the washer pump and then chucking it in for an MOT before she was really ready...
Myrtle is the Daewoo Matiz I bought new in 1999, sold in 2001 and bought again in 2018. She has been off the road for about 18 months and still needs a fair bit of attention now she's legal again.

That garage needs a tidy, one positive you make me look clean and tidy!!
If Ian got rid of the pile of stuff he could get a couple more cars in there!
@@caw25sha That garage is a mess, difficult to look at.
Just no need to have it like that either, I would be embarrassed
@@interceptor-ss8kb That’s all very well for you to say !!
What a tip
My OCD was triggered by that garage view at the beginning ! 😅
As a wee tip for future reference, I've had a washer pump go bad on a couple of vehicles over the years and in one case it was like where the Daewoo pumps are (ie: not accessible without a packed lunch, 150 tools and several hours of tracing the ancestry of the vehicle in Anglo-Saxon).
In the end, I bought a washer pump for a MkIII and later Mini (under ten pounds incl VAT from Minispares), fitted it inline on the pipe between the bottle and the windscreen and fished the wires off the old pump up to the one I'd fitted. It worked a treat. Water was pulled through the old pump still attached to the bottle and sprayed as it would normally by the jets - in actual fact the Mini pump worked better. The washer pump itself just screws (or zip-ties) to any surface and - as I found out on a Triumph 2500S - doesn't seem to mind if it is up the right way or lying on its back.
The one on the Triumph was a little trickier. The old pump was riveted to the washer bottle's top and as I could not hide the pump or get the original one off without destroying things, I zip-tied the new pump to the old one, moved the wires over, ran a little piece of hose over to the old pump's outlet and she's been running fine like that for about 5 years now. A much better squirt than the original Triumph one too as I can now run two twin squirters to cover more of the screen instead of just the one twin that had minimal adjustment and only got a third of the way up.
With modern squirter bottles hiding away in deep dark recesses behind multiple things, I keep one on hand in case it is needed and as long as the original does not leak in situ, I reckon the inline fix is a much easier one. Cheaper too in most cases.
I thought I was the only one still running a fleet of old cars daily. Our 4 currently on the road have an average age of 19.5 and are all worthy of the Festival of the Unexceptional. You make me feel normal, so thank you.
been sat at the back of the shed watching all the others getting attention,but she actually looks quite happy with her moment in the sunshine now
Poor Miss Hubnut, I think she's beginning to think Mr Hubnut only wants her for her small hands and subsequent access to hard-to-reach places on his cars
No comment...
Many a good relationship has been built on less.
Dating a proctologist because you like crap cars seems like a good sport. 🤣
Do we not all pick our mates for one quality or another only to find out we got a bargain in the whole package! 35 years with mine!
Less is more...
"Fiery Wheel Of Death" my new name for my grinder. Brilliant video as always Ian.
Same here, adopted 😁
The washer pump looks exactly the same as one I just changed in a VX Holden Commodore, but the Commodore is much easier, no panels to remove, access from under front of car, no tools needed, done in 5 minutes.
"This did not go to plan..." Sounds like an everyday story of a Hubnut video. Still it all came good in the end.
Bumper bar implies some collision resistance. I prefer to call that weak plastic thingy a nosecone because its only purpose seems to be aerodynamics. On my Falcon, it has to come off whenever I need a battery change, headlight change etc. Last time it came off, i had to repair some fender damage before it would go back on! Apparently an incredible minor parking lot incident was worse than I thought. Oh, the joy of owning 21st century cars!
The disorganisation to Myrtle's left in the opening phootage really is quite impressive!
Yeah, that pile needs to go.
I think Lord Lucan might be hiding out in there.
I'd just love to tidy it for them. It triggers my tidy gene every time I see it.
Wow, looks like time for a summer clean!
See latest video...
A great result with fixing the washer system. and passing the MOT for Myrtle. These two cars will look brilliant in convoy. Both are terrific cars that need to have fun on the roads. I can't help thinking that TWC want's to have some fun as well. Top job HubNutters! thanks for sharing.
Yay! Myrtle is back on the road!
I found the biggest problem I had with my matiz was that the bolts all rusted into place making even the simplest jobs difficult
I also don't know why they started putting the windscreen washer in-between the outer and inner wing just makes things no difficult if you need to access it
Glad Mrs Hubnut was on hand to help
Use a lighter to warm up the washer pipe it will make it so easy to pull off, i always use this method & never had a problem getting them off without the need to cut them
Celebrations all round! Yay!
I suppose a Miss Hubnut meets Myrtle Road test is next? 👍
Myrtle is shiny and blue! You should definitely keep her.
I can really understand the popularity of cars like Austin 7s.
Everything is accessible, and if it isn't it can quickly be made so.
Spares availability is very good too.
It's a HubNut thing. No matter how simple a job is it always turns out to be complicated by unexpected events. Oh wait, it's like that for me as well !
This is reality!
What a great team you two are 👍 And on the bright side, if the cars worked all the time and were easy to fix, there'd be no content 😁
Cars designed by Designers always look better than those designed by committee or even worse, public/customer focus group.Signed a designer. 😜😁
Hello dear HubNut, I am writing to you from Ukraine) I already own the second Daevoo Matiz M150, assembled in Uzbekistan, with an automatic transmission. The first one was color 74U ruby metallic, this car saved my life during the capture of the city of Mariupol by Russian troops, an artillery shell flew into it and destroyed it, the body of the car protected me from shrapnel... Now I am forced to live in another city in Ukraine and purchased the same Matiz with automatic, only now black 87U. On both of them I had to change the washer reservoirs and filler tubes, this is an incurable disease on cars with air conditioning, since the compressor is located directly opposite this reservoir and can overheat it, which causes the plastic to burst and the sealing cuff on the tube to dry out. But I see that you don’t have air conditioning, this makes maintenance easier) But I had to disconnect the edge of the bumper from the fender and move the fender liner, otherwise there’s no way to get to the pump socket. Recently I was also engaged in adjusting the thermal clearances of the valves and in the same way the compressor did not allow me to unscrew the upper casing of the timing belt. In general, I know first-hand what it’s like to service a Matiz) It’s just a pity that I don’t have my own garage now, as I did in Mariupol. But still, I’m more than happy with my car, because the Daewoo is driven - it’s just a blast! The design of our cars to this day leaves no one indifferent, thanks to Giugiaro for that) I’m very glad that Myrtle is back at work, we also sometimes come across M100 models on the roads, I always remember you when I see them)
Hello Ukraine! It's hard for us to imagine what life must be like these past years. Thanks for the comment. Hope the situation improves.
Nice when it’s raining here and I’m relaxing watching your videos.
Thank you 🙏
Could be a far worse place for the brake pipes to fail! Glad to see little Myrtle back in use.
Woohoo to Myrtle getting a MOT Pass! Be great to see her being pressed into daily use. A great video as always.
You know you could have more cars in your unit if you would just tidy up, it really needs a tidy up
Yes, hoping to start this week. Famous last words...
I always liked the Matiz,I nearly bought a new one back in 1999. I have always liked 3 cylinder engines, except I now have a Polo 1.2 three cylinder, the 6 valve variant, and it’s not great as it feels agricultural at low revs. I had a couple of Smart cars with the turbo 3 cylinder engines and loved them.
I now have a Bella a Bob and a Myrtle on one road on my way home here in Halifax. 💖
Like the design of early Matiz's 😊
Good to see Myrtle back. Loved the disc cleaning. Rear washers are always a pain my cars rear is not very good
Seem to remember the 3 pot sounding especially nice on the Matiz.
Glad she’s back on the road.All good Ian and Carly
Another day at Hubnut Headquarters
The day starts rather jovial and relatively happy 😃 will it last ? Probably not as it’s Hubnut 😂, really didn’t need a thumbnail to tell me this 👌🏻.
Hello from Columbia Missouri USA. I recently purchased a Buick Encore GX with a 1.3 liter 3 cylinder that just happens to have been built under the same roof in South Korea as a certain Myrtle the Matiz. Although it was a couple of decades later. The sound of a 3 pot reminds me very much of a Detroit Diesel, or in your terms the famous Napier Deltics! Lovely.
Myrtle lives on
another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍
Nooooo Ian with a angle grinder . Had to shut my eyes for that one 🤣
Even I was scared...
This is very exciting. It now brings back opportunities for Myrtle Hurtles. I would very much support her coming to Rustival 2. I'd love to meet her
Thanks!
Thanks Page! Really appreciate it, as ever.
I'm impressed with the advanced wirebrushing skills on the discs. I just stick a piece of course emery cloth between the disc & pad & drive to the MOT station if discs are rusty.
That sounds like a good result. So much more could have gone wrong 😊. Luckily the brake pipe went where it did, not when you were driving, that could save been scary
The Smart would be my area of focus but that's just me. Very pretty car the Smart but the Matiz has its own very special charm so I can see how you are torn between several motors. I don't go for a selection of vehicles for this reason.
Still getting the best out of my 18 year old Bingo Berlingo, a family car from new and she has only just passed 34k this last week.
Easy to keep on top of just one vehicle that you know the entire history of, maintenance wise, it is just the annual full service, done religiously but never on a Sunday, never missed a year from new and the odd set of brakes every 5 years or so.
She has only ever broken down once due to a mushy rubber in one of the gearlinkages which happened to go on a Saturday afternoon on the stressfully busy main roundabout in my hometown, who knew? An oily rag neatly stuffed into the hole to keep the linkage from falling away and limp home was achieved.
In her later years, she has benefitted from a nice strong roof basket, a super bright 750W lightbar mounted on the bumper, a pair of side steps, a bull bar and a couple of two way radios, one a CB and the other a Ham Radio. Currently contemplating fitting a winch and a snorkel to make her offroad credentials complete. I baulk at the £750 annual tax for a true offroader so I have used that extra money I would have paid on the Shoguns metaphorical taxdisc to uprate my Bingo and maintain a certain cheapness of motoring.
Some bigger wheels and offroad tyres are next then she will be complete for our planned weekend stealth camping trips in and around Snowdonia though I don't plan on pushing the Berlingo beynond a 20° inclined plane at any point. The most she has tackled is that Devilishly steep road up the Great Orme in Llandudno.
On a hot summers day, you can smell burning clutches aplenty up yonder hill.
Had to part with a red Matiz I had many years back as she had finally given up the ghost after many years of fine 3 cylinder service on the school run. Ended up that the exhaust was more weld than metal tubing.
It is a very noble thing you both do to keep these cars in service where others have given up, it is only due to people with your level of commitment that we get to go to festivals and see vehicles we have loved in years goneby and still to this day. Thank You for being a part of that and also leading the way here on UA-cam as you both bring evermore people along and onboard for this fascinating hobby, interest and passion.
Best of Luck with your MOT next time and on all future occasions.
Hi u2 I do think you are a great a couple and thank you're for the videos, take care and hubñut family ,,👍😘
Now you have me singing "That'll Be The Daewoo, When you Dri-ive!!!" 😅
The unit makes my garage look tidy.
You were lucky that brake line popped when it did, could have been nasty.
Great to the myrtle back out there again.
HubNut with a grinder? Run for your lives!!!! 😲
i was thinking the same.
That washer pump design is almost nearly universal. I've seen it on Ford Sierras, Nissan Micras and Almeras and several Volvos, of course all with a different connector style. When I looked on autodoc for a replacement one there were like 80 different brands of the same pump, ranging in price from a €8 to a staggering €180 or so.
Love Myrtle
I'll never understand why they tuck windscreen water bottles in such dreadful places. Glad I've never owned a car designed after 1987!
Ian was myrtle in Aberaeron yesterday morning I was going to Aberystwyth
Yup. She was.
Poor Myrtle, she has been so patient, i see you still have the electric bike too, i think the law is changing, may be worth a video? 👍
Something always breaks on a car, straight after the MOT. It's their way of puncturing your smug self-satisfaction.
Oh wow, another thing that has happened for me too, brake pipe failing in MOT inspection.
My car (1990 Mazda 323) got banned from the road in 2007 because brake pipe failed during brake test in Finnish roadworthiness inspection, equivalent to MOT in UK, but they didn't abort the inspection even the brake pipe failed, they went through the rest of the procedure, and it passed otherwise, but got banned because pipe bursted at the brake test. That was in 2007 though, so not sure how it would go today.
The pipe bursted under dirt shield at the floorpan, where it had collected all that nice road salt and dirt, and long pipes had to be replaced from engine bay to the rear axle, from factory joint to factory joint, other repairs were illegal. Car brakes were re-tested, it passed and the ban was lifted. It never saw another inspection though, car was recycled the next year because new faults appeared...
Die Magie der 3 Zylinder… 🤩
Dynamic Duo! Oh dear, a pun has just made itself blatantly obvious in my head....
Lucky that pipe gave up where and when it did, on the way there would have been expensive and time consuming for a recovery or you towing the other car and that one doing all the braking.
Indeed.
These shirt- and jumper folks don't look hubnut at all.
Another great interesting video. We know your a windscreen wiper expert, what screenwash do you use. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
To be honest, whatever I've found cheap!
When miss Hubnut took over your operation (yes she did) she sorted out your garage.
It's looking like things are slipping again with piles of boxes everywhere.
How are you ever going to find the right tool for the job ?.....
I would love to make some of the engineer's that mount thing's in hard to reach impossible area's work on those vehicles.
A dremil and cheap chinesium trim removal tools are handy for wheel arch liners 😊👍🇮🇪
First bad news, then good news, Myrtle can go back on the road!
My mate had one with the horrible alloys was a reliable little car but the sills at the back rot really bad I had to weld both sides it was cheap and lasted 3 years and didn't do much to it only wat needed doing and he abused the little engine and that's wat gave up but it was a one lady owner before he owned it so I bet that's why it lasted as long as it did your garage is a right mess I couldn't work in there like it
Got hit with an Audi e-tron ad during this video, the product placement on this one, was off to be fair.😂
I got a Range Rover Sport.
Will miss hubnut drive the matiz
Absolutely brilliant video Ian miss hubnut ❤👍glad she's back in action brilliant
I suppose when the MOT says brake pipes corroded you can see why it gets failed/advisory , as this had actually blew!
Cool jacket
Such great content since your new Mechanic (Miss HubNut) joined the crew .Love her positive outlook on everything , with a can do attitude .
Going from strength to strength .
Glad to see Myrtle pass the mot , just a couple of probs , but hey that just makes it the HubNut way . Thats why we love the vids .
Chaos theory in a visual. Its almost modern art that pile.
I really want to bring my Reliant Rialto to Rustival but I don’t think it will be ready enough to just get it road legal for September. My progress is really slow due to work commitments.
Good luck! We hope to be back in 2025 if you don't make it though.
Those disc’s look like they been rubbing metal too metal. I passed my test in Metis it was very bouncy at 50 mph. Your two blue cars are very similar blue colour
They haven't. Loads of meat on the pads. That's just 18 months of sitting in a damp unit...
When do you plan to tidy the garage? It's playing with my head. Congratulations to the Matiz on the MOT pass. Good luck with Rustival 2
We actually started today. Doesn't look much better yet mind you!
@@HubNut lol, keep at it!
Hello there. Brilliant results with the headlight polishing. What products do you use for those results?
That was Autoglym Scratch Repair paste, but pretty much anything abrasive will do the job, even toothpaste. We need to get some UV safe coating though or it won't last.
Ah thank goodness glad Myrtle is back on the road again 26 years old and doing better than my 10 year old Fiat 500 lol
Working on the Matiz very hard small cars need small hands to work on them
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Myrtle! 🙌
Tinkering time 🤓🧰🤔
AY UP MR AND MRS HUBNUT
So glad that Myrtle is back on the road, been a while, looking forward to seeing the babies of the fleet having some adventures,
Ein schönes Video.
Grüße aus HH to you and yout wife.
So how are the wedding plans? If it's not too personal a question?
We never quite get around to making them...
Maybe I've watched too many "rod knock" videos but I'm not sure about the sound it makes. Maybe if you put a Lexus badge on it that'll be good for -20dB ? Perhaps find some really thick bearing grease, I find the engine really quiets down when i syringe it into my ears.
It doesn't sound great. I'd forgotten that. I fear poor Myrtle needs an engine overhaul.
Nice to see the fleet getting attention, looking forward to the Smart and Pajero videos, is Bella's turn coming too?
Bella remains a headache. We will go into that at some point.
Btw, interesting method for cleaning the brake discs. Are you able to do that with both sides of the disc? The inside is often worse.
No. That's where it falls down. A few miles of Welsh hills tend to clean things up nicely.
@@HubNut Rusty brake discs are a major MOT fail point here in Norway. They're very picky about it.
Once a hublet passes their test will there be TG style road trips?😂
Rustival ready then😁
I did notice overspray on the trim on the front bumper where the pump was...
The masking wasn't great when she had a paint job a few years ago. You get what you pay for to be fair.
@@HubNut ah right i see. good to see her back on the road tho!
Good video, Glad the Matiz passed 🥰
you got lucky with that pipe!!! fix her up still looks a good little car
It really is a simple repair, you take off wheel arch liner.
It's easy if the liner wants to come off...
A Smart specialist better known as a smart arse! 😮
A hot air gun will soften the washer pipe if used carefully
10:24 Score up them discs.
GLADS ITS YOU NOT ME doining that pipe. How Long is MOT this time.
MOT lasts 12 months.
Here's something that'll cause feelings, this year, Myrtle is one quarter of a century old........ :S
Hub nut and plan 🥺😂 🍄🏴👍
😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
That’s an impressive pile of sh*te…
…Makes Steptoe’s yard look like the foyer at Claridge’s…..
Get a skip in … ffs…..😖
It may need to happen...
