Really enjoyed that.
For a non mechanic it’s interesting to see how jobs can be done on a car.
Also some nice common sense tips that anyone can apply when going to look at a car.
Many thanks oscar, will keep posting the content, thanks for the comment and kind words 👍
Liked the story Lee but I would have preferred to see the finished car walk around (show and tell is better than just tell). Also, I prefer all-in-one vids rather than separate episodes. Good job so far though, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback👍 I get what your saying and I intend to develop into that format. TBH at first I was just getting use to vlogging and was pleased just to deliver some content. The response has been great so far and as I move forward and as I try and get a few more videos filmed each week I should be able to shelf one film, fix the car and return to film later.
(unless its a piece of junk for the scrap bin) 🤣
I have no problem with before/after videos. They allow you to fully develop the subject.
Excellent and informative video, as already mentioned it would be great to see underside/ all of the car after the work has been done. Keep up the great work 👋👋
It is always good when a car can be salvaged and give, someone a few more years of motoring.
I used to give a few of my old cars to my mechanic (now retired). Obviously he always looked after my cars well. I could of scrapped them but I always thought I cant afford to spend anymore money on this vehicle. He has the time and the experience to put it right and if he makes a few quid out of it fair play. It was a thankyou for always looking after us, trust and knowing your not going to be ripped off.
Sometimes the part could be cheap but the accessibility, to getting to the area time consuming. Or the part would be expensive but a repair would be more expensive in labour.
You reminded me, my MOT is getting near.😔😔
I really like the workshop content. No other channel does that . I think you will do well with this channel if you have more content like that.
I think I would buy a car from you after watching this. You seem like a real and genuine car dealer.
Thanks edd, trying to adapt the channel as I go as its new but thanks for the feedback and for watching, 👍👍 have a great weekend
Really liked your vlog natural and relaxed style and informative.
Many thanks darren, I dont feel relaxed when vloging lol, I am sure I will become more confident as we go on, many thanks for the kind comments
This is actually a really good cheap Qashqi to have,nice color and spec and cheap to run.
Keep up the great work! :D
Many thanks MD
Love your videos. Thanks.
Thanks allen 👍👍
Don’t know but I love these cheap car video
Have plenty more coming, glad you enjoy them
Service history,spec and colour will sell the car
Under 100'000miles and a new ticket is the icing on the cake.
For a family of 4 with a 3k budget it will be ideal.
And the receipt for the timing belt (if it checks out) is the hidden gem.
The next owners can if funds allow, refurb the wheels, slap on a £299" private" plate, and proudly Park it on the drive.
Hi bryan, yes we had the covers off and its a recent belt so we can sell with confidence, prep is nearly finished on it so will keep channel posted on new videos when it sells. should look a lot of car for the money. Many thanks for the comment
Private plane on a mk1 quashkia it looks ancient. I would just keep my money. I do have a Private plate on my car, but it was a drug dealers car for my area I live in so not a chance worth taking. (I wasn't the drug dealer)
Have the same car 2008 2.0 and colour. Had to get the two trailing arms replaced in 2021 which 1 arm actually broke and the wheel was out slanted. and last year full pads, callipers, shocks, track rod ends and drive shaft. All which was stock from 2008. Over the years handles replaced myself inside broke plastic catch and boot handle. Apart from the usual parts the mechanic says the engine and power of car has never missed a beat
engines are sound to be fair i rate the 1.5 unit
Great video! I love watching these reviews from car traders showing the whole process of buying and selling cars. It's good to see you've got your own workshop as well and look forward to seeing your future content. Good luck with the channel 👍
Thanks Pete, I will keep them coming, I also enjoy this content and watch a couple of other UK based traders buying and selling.
Great video - you clearly know your stuff. It is particularly good that you can turn a profit in turning around a car which is basically sound but otherwise would probably have gone to scrap. That is far more environmentally friendly than someone going and buying a new EV instead.
Very enjoyable watching your other vids now subscribed.
Many thanks for the comment and the sub,
Nice one, great job 👏
Someone tell Lee that Bono wants his sunglasses back.
Roderick he can have them back, they are broken 🤣
Just caught up with you in here and playing catch up with all video`s, Well done my friend, Loving things up to now, Keep er lit bro, Chris
Many thanks Chris I will do, will be getting some more content out later in the week
If only all car traders were as honest as you
Hi Lee really enjoy your vids extremely informative honest enjoyable keep up the good work
thanks paul 👍👍
Brilliant thanks 👍
Great video really enjoyed it
Many thanks Darren, please check out the other videos and will be dropping a couple more next week we are currently working on
Enjoying the channel fella, watched that many car shows on TV and not just the once so the channel find along with a few others are supplying a good fix for a petrolhead junkie.
Every day's a school day.
Thanks.
Thanks G4ry will keep the content coming
I got a VW Caddy TDI for $1000. It belonged to an acquaintance. He got it when his dad passed away and I got it when he boughta new ute...
What year is the Caddy ?
Good content. I did for a min think I was watching Matt from High Peak autos. Until I didn’t recognise your voice. Still good video and wish you both best of luck.
You’re a Yorkshire lad I’m assuming?
Hi Ed, no I am from cheshire, but I do get told that alot 🤣
My friends just failed MOT today for 2 rear arms and 1 front! Never knew they were a common fault.
Great vid, subscribed!!
Hi tony, many thanks for the comment and the sub. Yes very common I have failed many on mot over the last few years. hope your friend gets his sorted, Don't forget to mention about the rear arms on the ebay link, will save a fortune compared to local motor factors.
@@carukchannel I already sent him the link to your video, look forward to your new content.
thank you Carlos Ghosn .....saved Nissan but at a Price ...
Well done Lee. Great car
Many thanks Nigel
very good video. more of this sort of stuff please
Thanks Roger 👍👍
Fantastic price and lovely profit we'll done 👍👍👍
Thanks Flipping cars
yes had a car once with `airbag` light on, just the connectors pushed it back under the seat....and never came back on
Great result, most of the time the wires under the seat move and make a loose connection, easy fix which I am grateful for
Great video very interesting and good content
Many thanks John, Will keep them coming
ur skills and knowledge save another car from the scrap man pal really nice specced car that is as well will now do a family well for a few years at not to much expense!! your outlook on keeping cars going is refreshing!!! keep it up
Thanks alun kind of you to say
Great honest video again, I really enjoy them especially when it’s a car I have considered in the past 😊
thanks david, thats the core content i want for this channel the everyday cars that get forgotten about past and current. thanks for watching
You are on to a winning formula mate, keep them coming 👌
Is saying "wants" instead of needs, a thing specific to some part of England? I've noticed that High Peak Autos does the same thing.
It might be more of a northern England expression to say ''wants'' instead of needs, Mat's channel high peak I also watch and did motivate me into starting my own channel, He is also northern 😁
I'm still driving this UK made Qashqai similar to this one in Japan, and is still running great!
thanks for watching takashi glad your enjoying it
Good project, nice profit
Thanks!
Good upload bud👍
Thanks Coyle
Lee as a similar sense of humour as me love the sunglasses 😎
😁👍
Great colour great spec. Worth sorting out the faults. That car will sell in 48 hours at average price
Its a QQ Tekna not visar or what ever you call it. The Colour is Fired Iron.
Hi Tommy, yes your correct its a tekna, I put an edit in the description to point out the error. I had not long sold a visia model so kept referring to that model in the video. Rookie Vlog error.
I had one very similar and in the same colour (fired iron) that I bought new from 2007 to 2012, but with the 2.0 dci 150hp engine. Was good, but it went through several sets of rear shocks due to bushes failing. Used to knock badly over bumps after only 30k or so miles! Nissan changed them all under warranty though and was a common issue. Also had a failed wiper motor. Was a AWD option too, but these were rare.
Thanks for watching Richard, yes they did suffer with broken wiper motors, I have done a few in the last few years and forgot to mention it as its unfortunately very common issue. I have to say although they do drive well for Mot purpose I get a lot in and they seem to destroy bushes and suspension arms.
We have this model in America. Though here it was re-named the Rogue Sport. Quite frankly, brilliant bit of marketing on Nissan's part. A customer walks in to a Nissan dealership, wanting a Rogue. Quickly realizes he either can't afford the payments or can only afford an absolute Base version. Salesman then introduces him to the Rogue Sport. Says it's technically the same vehicle. Only a bit smaller overall, more affordable for the customer (either as a purchase or as something with more luxury/tech. features that the customer wants). And, sadly, just putting "Sport" on a vehicle makes it more desirable for younger buyers. Salesman leaves out the fact that among those two vehicles, the Rogue is more reliable overall.
I would guess that most of them in the US would be 2.0L petrol engines ? thanks for the comment by the way, great to see my videos reaching viewers in the states. 👍
@@carukchannel
Yes. Gasoline-powered engine option only on the Sport. Over on this side of the pond, diesels are only used inside of big work-trucks (as an engine option); or big rig commercial shipping trucks. Last diesel-powered passenger vehicle that could be bought new was either a VW Passat or possibly the Jetta almost 20 years ago. I've always been fascinated by the culture that exist in various nations that make up the UK. Wish there was someone here in America with this type of channel.
@@dauntlessasmr7910 We are very mixed bunch of people in the UK, scots, Irish, Welsh, English and even northern England and southern England the divide and differences are massive. But we seem to get on and not tried killing each other for a good 275 years. I have noticed that diesels are not very popular in the US, with gas (petrol) prices like yours I doubt the savings for diesel's are worth it
@@carukchannel
True. At one point in time, diesel engines were so much cheaper to fill. Those days are relegated to the very distant past.
Hi, love the channel. Can you show us your sales process please. Particularly the paperwork and warranty stuff? Thanks.
Hi toby, I will try to integrate that into my videos where possible going forward, its a little tricky in some cases with data protection etc but I am sure it will be possible to give some more clarity going forward with future content.
Be nice just to see what sales receipts you use?
@@Toby_the_Glen I just use a general used car sales pad, we buy them from a company called lawgistics I will see if i can find the link, its a pretty smart form to be fair
Now that's sound like a good idea as there's so many warranties 👍👍👍
Interesting, but all your cars suffer bad rust, I have a Honda jazz like the one you recently described that was full of rust, mine is almost rust free ,my question is were in the country are you, near the sea side ? salty roads ? love the videos cheers
That honda was a scottish car, I am based in the north west of england bud.
i have the same car 1.6 petrol 300,000 manual 2009 .No problems so far very very reliable .
Wow that's some miles, thanks for watching
@@carukchannel i forgot to mention 300 000 km not miles .Keep the good work sir
How did you adjust dropped drivers door, they have no adjustment mechanism. I ask because l have the same issue.
we replaced one of the door hinges, we manage to scrounge one from the local scrap yard. The hinges on the j10 are poor quality bend very easy. replace the hinges (ideally both) and it should be all good then Tim, you can pick them up as a pair for about a £10 on ebay. We have changed a few for customers over the years.
nice little car for 600, easy for parts from scrap yard
One of my chauffer customers mum just passed he let me have her 10 plate vw tiguan 4motion for £500 took it for mot failed on a wiper blade result
Great result, sounds like you have some wages in that car
Common flashing airbag fault is airbag module ,the clock spring needs replacing. Part on ebay and a thirty min fix
True did the same. Its very normal problem.
Now , how is that ..?
it was only, early this year ( 2022) that I bought one ..!
second hand ..!
186.000 km..!
2008, model ..!
New tyres..!
" glass roof ".!
.. for 6.700 euro ..!
Which country are you from Andri, Car's in the UK are very cheap compared to US and Europe it has to be said
@@carukchannel ..
Cyprus ..!
I'm Cypriot..!
The car is most probably the same model ,like the one you are showing , ! A white color ..!
This is the prices, ,here , for this models ..!
@@andrigeogiou8420 Are your cars right hand drive in cyprus ?
@@carukchannel
Yes , we were a co!ony ! All British colonies are on the right hand .!
So..
You trying to tell me that , this car was so " cheap "..?
From here , business men's , ,they are going to England, buying , cheap cars , and they are selling them to us SO expensive..!
Anyway ..!
The one I bought is from the local market ..!
is not imported from Britain ..!
' Varta battery and Bosch wiper blades , signs of a caring owner ,' I think you said . Don't take it for gospel mate , I'm an absolute cheapskate with cars , but both ours have Varta / Yusa batteries and Bosch blades . Some things you don't cheap out on 😀
👍
So do all Nissan built in that year rot? I've seen the nivara and pathfinder videos.
Mainly the rear trailing arms on qashqais, not come across a rotten body or chassis to be fair. I just think the arms they have used are poor quality and design. Your correct about the navara they do tend to break in 2 pieces
@@carukchannel I read that the later Qashqais had rear trailing arms fixed by a hole being drilled in them to let trapped water escape
loads of these coming through the auctions via motability!! some with very few miles!
my mother in law had a motab one she did 8k in the car in 3 years, had more hits than than beetles when it went back, one of the auctions has a big motab sale every month all low milege stuff thanks for watching
2.0diesel is a chain job so can be a good bet to save cam belt costs!!
1.6 is a diesel too but requires new chain at 300,000 km, if not earlier.
I have a 2020 qashqai acentia thing, had it since new, my god, she don't like roundabouts, and she gotta problem where she fogs up so, so quickly. Other than that, not a bad car, done everything I need it to.
Good to hear, would you buy another one ?
@@carukchannel hopefully in June.
I have a Fiat Panda noted for rotting rear axles. I had mine zinc metal sprayed and epoxy primed before the dreaded could take hold. I’ve recently bought another (diesel this time). I’ll give that axle the same treatment.
Always good to hit a car with some form of underbody protection david, I am one for greasing my cars or using a waxoil to keep the rot away. everyone keeps mentioning the lanoguard product, I should reach out to them and get a review made, see what its made of
Mine had a DMF problem. Once warmed-up the clutch would judder so much it was almost undrivable. Sold to me by a local cop. Test drive just short enough for the problem not to surface. Sure did on the way home. Moral of the story? Just because the seller is a cop, doesn't mean you can trust them not to flog you a pup.
how do you deal with customer warranty issues, do you buy them from the likes of warranty wise or provide your own?
Hi axishull, I just self fund to be honest, if you mentally put £100 a car away it covers any issues that arise. To be honest we don't get that many issues, we sell a lot locally so people will just pop in if that's the case and we will sort it for them.
that airbag light on dash come up untill you plug seat belt in then goes out
It was flashing even when driving and belt on, it was a faulty wire connection under the seat that fixed the issue
In Eastern Europe it costs 5000€ minimum with salary of 500€ a month...
Have you ever used lanoguard a rust protection .to save are diesel and petrol cars before the 2030 ban comes in
Funny enough I have just ordered some, looks decent stuff and I am wanting to use it on the metro and my old ldv recovery truck thats a constant battle to keep the rot away. Have you used it and if so do you rate it ??
Fired Iron
Great car when brand new you don't get many problems with them.
They are decent cars new, but 12 years down the line when they get to me, they are a little shabby to say the least, thanks for watching michael
My biggest suspicion is the previous MOT, it is very unlikely that this amount of rot would happen in one year to what essentially is structural parts of the suspension........ you might get a bit of rust eating away at the metal, but rotting away so that you can get your hand in the hole??? Maybe it's just my nature being suspicious, but I'd be steering well clear of that MOT station
Yes see your point, should really been marked down as advisory last year if it was not holed as it would be badly corroded but still have maybe passed.
Qashqui is today’s version of the Austin Maxi. Unattractive with below average performance but a fair bit of space and anonymous as F.
I strangely liked the Austin Maxi 🤣
Did it sell Lee, decent buy for the money.
yes it did bud think we got 2600 from memory
Colours called fired iron
This must be influenced by high peak autos
I can pass mot mate with things like that 😁
Burnt orange
Good shout
Boot catch cover looks slightly detached (common fault)
Yes we did repair this but it went soon after, anyhow found a new tailgate plastic on ebay for £15 and got it painted. I would say every 3 we see at least one has a broken tailgate, thanks for watching martin 👍
Yep got mine secured with sealant and stayed on ever since
I'm looking to purchase a Nissan quashqi are you saying its better to go for the diseal one? On average I do about 150 miles a week. 3 days travelling 60 miles to work and back.
Any advice would be welcome
Hi Fiona, if your looking for a Qashqai of this similar year and like you are doing around 8k per year then providing its more longer journeys than short journeys I would go with the 1.5 diesel model. If its short journeys pick the 1.6 petrol but the 1.6 petrol is ok in the reliability group but its painfully slow and nissan states should do about 42mpg, in reality from friends who have had them its more like high 30's being realistic. The 1.5 dci is a little faster but with the turbo feels a lot quicker and will always return high 40's and 55mpg on a run. the only issue with modern diesels which we see a lot in our garage coming in for repair is dpf problems when the filters become blocked due to being run on constant short journeys, they need to be driven on at least occasional runs in order for them to carry out what's called a regeneration, in effect the engine dpf filter cleans itself but this only happens on longer runs at a constant speed (around50mph) you will be unaware when the car is doing it by the way. To sum up the 1.5dci engine as far as modern diesel engines go is good little engine. and ran correctly and serviced will offer decent motoring, save money on fuel over the 1.6 petrol and cheaper road tax. Hope that helps
@@carukchannel that is fantastic information . Thankyou
@@carukchannelpre 2010 qashqai j10 1.5 dci does not have dpf fitted. Only 2.0 model does,
@@carukchannelalso tenka and tenka plus is the top model, this mid range model.
If I remember correctly it’s monarch orange
Good shout, thanks for watching
Colour is burnt umber😊
Looks like a tekna to me in fired iron
Yes it is, I kept saying visia model in the video, as I just sold one and had it welded into my brain, rookie vlog error, spot on with the colour marcus 👍👍
Those old rear arms are so thin
Orange
Hey Lee, I'm in the market for a cheap little run around. How do I get in touch with you? Happy new year by the way!
hi jason i have not got anything in currently, everything thats been on the channel has sold or not finished yet, what is it your looking for ?
@@carukchannelI see, that’s a shame. I’m looking for cheap little run around that’s low on insurance, and has less than 100k on the clock.
I think something like a (petrol) Corsa would do the trick, but not sure how reliable they are.
I am interested if you want to sell it
Hi simon, sorry to say we took a deposit on it Thursday from a customer, Hope you get sorted with one and thank you for commenting and watching the video. Does mean a lot when people engage with my videos so thank you
if its failed its mot, the mot stops from the failure point, you dont get the 3 days left
Hi Gascans, A issued VT30 does not invalidate your previous mot pass certificate if its still valid. I say this as someone who is a Tester and authorised examiner. Obviously if a dangerous defect is found you would advise the customer not to continue driving but its regularly ignored. thanks for watching 👍
@@carukchannel are you sure? Not so long ago I took a scenic for a test because the buyer wanted a full 12 months, fair enough, it still had more than 6 months left but it failed and the "gov uk" site showed it as untested so that would suggest that regardless of how much mot is left a fail does render the motor untested.
Them tailgate handles are prone yo. Breaking such s poor design always see brown tape or gaffa tape stuck to them 🤣🤣
Yes we have done two this month alone,
@@carukchannel got a quick question do you put warranty on these as don't no how they work with older cars
.
HPI check is rubbish, car vertical or V check are 10 times better
Yes I have seen car vertical advertised on other motoring channels, I have used HPI for many years for buying and when I used to run a car auction and served us well. But do like the in depth review CV goes into, thanks for the comment dave
And the dealer you bought them off is a mate?
Hi paul, yes he is, and I have done very well from the part exchanges he has sold me over the years, you have to take the rough with the smooth sometimes, this was rough but was turned around and sold pending collection so worked out well in the end. Thanks for watching
Are you counting the labour for all these 'little' jobs, reminds me of Wheeler Dealers, where labour was never mentioned.
No, if I fix a car I don't charge myself labour, the same way you don't charge yourself when you change your wiper blades 👍
@2:55 What is the point of a SUV if it is not a 4x4? Just go for a minivan if you need a high seating position.
Minivans are not really a thing in the UK, I am not a massive lover of SUV's to be honest but they sell well so we buy them and fix them, if you want a 4x4 just buy a proper 4x4 I would say. thanks for comment red phoenix and for watching 👍

Landsail tyres made in China says how much that person cares. .
Land sail tyres are actually very good, they have beaten michellen and other top names hands down many times now and have won multiple awards. I would not be so hasty in your view without researching them first
@@carukchannel not easy to research them really I did try. Actually running a set would give a good idea of what they are like. But I'm not really in the situation to do that.
