Hi James, the Mazda 2 is brilliant, drives like a dream, still have not worked out all the controls, just cant find the coffee machine, looks like it does everything else, even drives itself (nearly). Thank you for all your great advice, had not even considered a Mazda before talking with you. Buying a used car is a big decision but you made it really easy. Sarah said she will bring you some of her hand crafted chocolates for Christmas. 👌
That was lucky James a mechanic rocking up just when you needed one!...😄....I've just had the same capacitor problem with my little home compressor, thankfully like yours a cheap fix......Look forward to seeing some new arrivals too, that car parks like Mother Hubbard's cupboard!....Just don't buy owt off Temu! lol
I put in an order with temu about £12 if i remember, load of bull excuses for non delivery, order cancelled by them, money held in their system, with no wrking button for money return, so end of temu for me, very profitable for them..
@@davidkent5144 Which your entitled to as you actually tried it. I've found Corsa terrible , many people had them and love them. Different strokes as they say
You may already know James, but those capacitors can store electricity, and they can give you an electric shock if not handled correctly, even when not connected to anything.
We have messaged a few times, love your channel as you are exactly as I was when I was trading (now retired living in Spain). I would have definitely had some trade stuff off you, would have snapped up that trade EOS at the end. Keep up the good work & content. 👍
Should have punted that jazz out for 1295 as it was, with balance of mot as soon as you got back, spqr bud, small profit, quick return, this old stuff has a ceiling price.
@@derekfleming3095 I'm not sure why there would be an issue. Very random. If you want higher quality brands simply don't shop there. People are so dramatic.
@@derekfleming3095 well it being crap is an opinion not fact. I have plenty from there and it's all worked fine for purpose. But if somehow a marketplace for cheap goods offends you just fast forward for goodness sake. If I see an Ad for a brand I don't like in a vid I simply fast forward and watch on. Never have I thought to stop and get dramatic about it
Don't like to be negative but please be careful with that temu stroeo a friend bought one similar from temu it caught fire as he was driving along the motorway turns out they don't pass any uk safety tests
To quote Delboy from the Jolly boys outing “you must have pressed the wrong button then!”😂 Great video James as always, nice going, enjoy the tunes bud!
Just dont want to accept youve put a custards life at risk for the sake of a few ££. Pull it out an replace it. If it catches fire now with u knowing it doesnt pass eu regs would be a nightmare for you @@ChopsGarage
@@ChopsGarage Nah, Temu just sells absolute bottom of the barrel tat. A lot of the stuff won't meet basic safety standards. Wouldn't touch anything electrical from them.
Doesn’t anyone read the terms and conditions you agree to when signing up to temu- it’s well known you are basically allowing them full access to your contacts to be use as they please - is the amount of information access you give them worth the freebie’s !!! Read the T&C before you sign up
@@ChopsGarage what ever device you download the app onto, hence why you have to use the app to make purchases, the T&C state you give permission for access to the contacts
@@cat1600k I was looking at something little more specific. Is it accessing Outlook, Android Phone Book. Gmail , Apple. No disrespect but "contacts" is a bit generic . Facebook pulls your contacts from your email provider as does Tiktok. It's not unusual
Please don’t promote temu,it’s a Chinese government website and not what we want to gain popularity. There’s a lot more to it than you can possibly imagine
@@ChopsGarage as I said, there is a bigger issue at stake than just being able to get stuff a bit cheaper. Perhaps when you get more time, you’ll be able to understand after you have looked into it.
Great video as ever ... My daughter had a car to dispose of recently, but aside from being quite a long drive I didn't want to insult you by offering you an 08 plate Prius with 184k on the clock and a knackered engine! I was surprised we buy cars for peanuts paid over £500 for it!
@@ChopsGarage did you not see it on telly this morning about them bullying all these companies into selling their products cheaper think it was on ITV It’s not good. What they’re doing to them bankrupting all these companies.
Mate if I want to advertise Tena Ladies I will. It's my channel, my time, and my living. You can decide what to advertise on your channel but not on mine
I guess the Jazz is rare in that many shades of silver 😉
Going well James 👏👏👏

Hi! Cheers for watching and the comments , I shall look forward to that many thanks!
I don’t think it’s a great idea to have all those keys hanging off the ignition barrel……just a thought
Agreed
Great video of dealer life. Just shows you don’t need a production team, fancy cameras and microphones
Lol cheers
Yup. For sure you don’t. Video and go
You got enough keys on there 😂😂
Mind, i wouldn't fancy lugging all those keys around for the Eos day to day!!

Never had issue with Temu
Great videos and a insite into this industry, not everyone is as honest as you ! 👍👍
Hardly going to lie on camera is he
I appreciate that!
About what
Great video as always James :) Well done to Colin saving the day. Time to see you buy some new stock in. Have a great week
Thanks 👍
Nice one as always James. The best by far for cars. 👍👍👍👍
Hello James. I do love a VW Eos, bro. That's a nice Renault you have James. Great video again 🙏 🇮🇪 👏👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
James, were you ever, or did you ever aspire to be a Jail Warden?
@01:40 that is the most epic bunch of keys I have ever seen ! 😂
Keep ‘em comin’
JCHK
Lol!
Push out the boat!! For the car stereo!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
wont be long till it as issues
Why
That's an impressive set of keys
That’s why I thought. Somebody drove their car like that and wore the barrel out prematurely !!!! The weight worn key down.
I put in an order with temu about £12 if i remember, load of bull excuses for non delivery, order cancelled by them, money held in their system, with no wrking button for money return, so end of temu for me, very profitable for them..
Had 3 orders in last few months all on time and as expected
Was it a paid promotion or did you do you promote them for free@ChopsGarage
@@Hermantrueman for the deliveries,? First 2 were just me ordering as said ye them fair bit 3rd paid
I tried temu, absolute rubbish in my opinion
@@davidkent5144 Which your entitled to as you actually tried it. I've found Corsa terrible , many people had them and love them. Different strokes as they say
We are on our third Mazda 2 great cars with the 1.5 petrol no turbo and 4 cylinders makes it a fun car to drive.
Mate has a mazda 3 with a 2 litre petrol, none of this self destructive turbos
You may already know James, but those capacitors can store electricity, and they can give you an electric shock if not handled correctly, even when not connected to anything.
Thanks for heads up
You’ve got a decent Ital Try selling that before it dissolves!
I don't want to sell it
@@ChopsGarage then at least keep it undercover!
I agree Mark, but Mr Chops loves it 😂😂
And in a few years we'll wonder why the high street has died, well done for supporting the Chinese economy over your local shops.
🤣🤣🤣 name we one advertiser that is a "local shop" 🤣🤣🤣
Great video bud, set Colin on he seems like a good lad.
He was for sure
It's what you deffo need bud, save a fortune doing stuff in house and all those little awkward jobs.
that china stereo for the Suzuki looks daft you should of fitted stock stereo or replacement brand and i suggest you carry a fire extinguisher
Random

Mate, give him a torch rather than let him use his phone torch.
Love the swift sport can't wait to drive my one when i fix it
TEMU TEMU TEMU Rocks😂👌👌nice one james👍
Defo lol
Another good video James 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
I have to say I have had no problems with temp.
Keep up the great work, James.
Me neither. Like electric cars, all the experts in comment have never used them lol
New “super gizmo” from Temu. 🤣
Yep
Love the video's James
Putting your mates to work. 😂
Lol

Proper desperation, being sponsored by Temu 😂
Go enlighten me why is it desperation ?

Well done Colin for helping.
Is temu any good bit apprehensive about about ordering
It’s cheap crap
Never had issue
Hi long time viewer, 1st time commenting! Fyi the blue eos is ulez compliant and being automatic maybe perfect to sell to someone in the city?
Nice idea cheers
Hi , is that unit you fitted car play for i-phone as well as android ? TiA .
Don't like to be negative but please be careful with that temu stroeo a friend bought one similar from temu it caught fire as he was driving along the motorway turns out they don't pass any uk safety tests
that why i would not buy a cheap brand you get what you pay far 🤣
More likely to be his wiring I'd of thought

Where’s the i30 gone? Wasn’t on your last couple of updates? Great videos.
I am happy mate, ha, ha.
I'd just Bob that eos on at 1495 bud, more or less as it is, auto so should be OK, catch the last bit of summer.
How do you get tyres £50 ????
He gets the vat back
Yes he gets the vat back, but also I buy budget tyres for my Fiat 500 for £47, I’m in wales, think they are cheaper in rural places

Hi James
Madness retailing the honda too old bit u hard hope the fiesta dosent do the same being a ecoboost
Black circles
£12? How can they sell them for that?
china can they will make them for £2
That will be with new customer discount
Great video as ever ...

trade the EOS out 🤣🤣
Defo
12.99 for a head unit is just obscene. Someone's getting shafted by the Chinese! ;/
No it's Temu not manufacturer subsidising it to get you on as new user
Will last for days and days 😂😂
Seriously Temu....
Yes
@@ChopsGarage buy cheap , buy twice
Getting a bit low on Stock there
Defo
whos is the green MGB GT .
Mine
@@ChopsGarage ok i thought so buy the way its driven in ,where is the grey one .
@@guy4469 of getting supercharger sorted
Have you thought about buying a key box
Got one. Insurance does not allow keys to be left overnight
@@ChopsGarageahh makes sense
All the trouble you go to giving sound reliable advice. I 100% trust you but I 100% distrust Temu. I hope you would never buy Temu wheel bolts.
That's fair enough , I can only speak from my experience
Wow you have gone from an honest car salesman to trying to promote rubbish temu stuff, times must be hard 😅
Why must they be hard? So dramatic, no different to ebay, amazon, alibba. You can choose to spend more if you wish you know lol
I take it that a bulk buy at G3 is in order
I'd rather sell source if poss
Stop promoting the CCP by accepting sponsorship through Temu, you should know better…..
lol!!!
Temu no thanks, cheap Chinese labor, and everything I bought from there lasted about a week if that Never again
TENU are not a manufacturer they are a market place. Same stuffs on Amazon and eBay
@@ChopsGarage did you not see it on telly this morning about them bullying all these companies into selling their products cheaper think it was on ITV It’s not good. What they’re doing to them bankrupting all these companies.
If you buy cheap, you buy often
@@derekfleming3095 This can be true but most do buy cheap its a race to the bottom and if you want to be in the running you have to join in
@@ChopsGarage buying cheap is false economy
You want to support crap Chinese goods, you go ahead
Support child labour, buy from Temu ….
TEMU are not a manufacturer, anymore than eBay or Amazon are.
@@ChopsGarage never said they were. They’re cheap because of where they buy from
And I'm quite sure that EVERYTHING he buys is made by people local to him. He doesn't have a single Asian made item anywhere............
Uyghur Forced Labor rules!
And the regularly steel your bank details
Fancy preferring a Mazda 2 over a Fiesta, odd seeing as they are basically the same car.
No shitty ecoboost
Yep.. vote here for the Mazda. They're great. Only thing to look out for is rust cos they do get crispy.
The eos is too old
For what
I've got access to 3 cars, only one of them is newer ... If I had somewhere to store a convertible I'd consider it as a reasonably new car!
Would never use TEMU it's Chinese government backed
Ok
Aaaaargh! NO !!!
Please not the chinese billionaire's junk channel.
Aren't they all billionaires? Amazon. ebay, Alibaba?
Starting to pedal all kinds of crap now, you make money from your car sales. Stop advertising these scam sites.
